montie 1,273 Posted January 23, 2013 Great attitude , unfortunately these days arrogance like yours gets you a long way in speedway because the idiots running speedway have no principles , by the way non of us know the circumstances of any of the other lads either , That's because they don't air their personal problems in public looking for sympathy and use them as an excuse for selfish and brattish behaviour , I'm sure you think you are some sort of world champion in the making judging by the arrogance of your posts ,and there's something else I'm sure of , speedway takes dedication and skill and the will to carry on when things are not going all your way . all attributes you have already shown you don't have ,so it will be fun going to Loomer road just to watch you fall flat on your face which wont be long , looking forward to your retirement when you find speedway too much like hard work after your first 18 hour round trip to the Isle of Wight . What a evil jumped up post!!! ive seem quite of bit of him around scunny and im sure he will do well in the NL,good luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richspeedway 327 Posted January 23, 2013 I did not know the stadium was owned by Corbetts Sports I thought Tattum owned it, though being there a couple years ago looks like Corbetts have forgotten they own it as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swift Saint 186 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) I have to ask this one question. How can someone who uses the nick name Adonis possibly criticise someone else for perceived arrogance. Speaking personally I would not describe Emerson as being even slightly arrogant in nature. A friendly modest young man anxious to be able to acquiit himself well was the view I gained last season when he first emerged at Stoke. I think we all suffer with disillusion in sport from time to time and speedway is no different. That is not an excuse to so dissmisively abuse a young man who was flexible enough to re-think a decision and brave enough to change his mind. What were you like at 17 Adonis? You thought you knew it all I expect in fact not much different the way you seem see things at the present time.

Fourentee 988 Posted January 24, 2013 Stourbridge Chronicle today: Stourbridge speedway hopeful Emerson Jones has pledged to make his team’s supporters proud after doing a career U-turn. The motocross convert signed up with Stoke during the winter with a view to taking a place in the Potters’ line-up for the 2013 National League season. He then changed his mind and opted to stick with motocross – only to have another change of heart after talks with Stoke promoter Dave Tattum. Now he’s “100 per cent committed” to the shale sport. “It was just one of those things where you are stuck between two things and you don’t know which to go for,” said Jones, who turns 19 tomorrow. “But I’ve chosen speedway and that’s what I am going to do. I am going to be 100 per cent committed.” Jones admits the chopping and changing may not have got him on the best of footings with the Stoke supporters – but is out to change that. “They probably think I’m a different person than I am,” he said. “I will try to show them what I am about and do them proud.” Tattum said: “We were devastated by his decision. “But we feel he is an extremely talented rider and after leaving things for a few days spoke to him. “After some dialogue between us he has decided he wants to race speedway after all.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
