pushrod 2 Posted December 10, 2012 I don't think Aljack has any knowledge of the world let alone the speedway world. i second that, another one who thinks he nows everything and probably doesant no one end of a speedway bike to the other ,and doesant understand that in the real world, these guys do not ride for peanuts cos they live local,most riders who come over here to ride will all base themselfs local to each track they are riding for,so most of the rider at these clubs are locals ,so they must all be cheap,,,,,,,,so the 1998 team must of been very cheap,cos the one who lived the furthest away lived at old newton near stowemarket,they realy could of got more expensive riders that year ,i rearly feel cheated,,,,,,,,,they could of got a better team to to make us fans proud of,,,,,,and lets get one thing sorted,i am not your friend,i no u have none,so dont try and befriend me 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aljack 38 Posted December 10, 2012 I base my "imagine" on the fact it is very rare a speedway rider takes a substancial pay cut. So what if Lanham is pally with the Louis family? Calling a rider a "cheap option" because they live local shows a complete lack of knowledge. Maybe Ward was a cheap option for Lynn in 2009 as he lived in the stadium grounds in a caravan? I used to defend you when most others slated you and thought your views were correct even if a bit extreme at times but these last few posts of yours really do leave me wondering if you have much knowledge of the speedway world. Cheap option.....means in this case Lanham lives very local so requires no travelling expenses when riding at home whereas if Craig Cook was signed he would need a huge amount of travelling expenses to come from his far Northern home. Hope Ive made it clear now...... I need no defending by you or anyone else as I say it as it is and pull no punches and do not live in a holier than thou world like so many, so its up to the beholder if he agrees or not. As far as Im concerned I do not care a toss if he does or not ok..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as Im concerned I do not care a toss if he does or not ok..... And as i have said, just because he lives local and doesnt require much travel pay it doesnt mean he is cheap!! Comparing him with cook is ridiculous. Cook is the top rider in the league. Comparing him with riders between 6.5 and 7.00 is a better idea. You can be sure other clubs were sniffing around Lanham on a figure of 6.92. As i have stated numerous times, having been aware of what he was being paid during his time at Newport, unless hes taken a big pay cut then Lanham is far from a cheap rider. Id wager that hes on a better deal than some 8 pointers. Your constant claims that Lanham is a cheap option are pathetic and wrong but most can see that.

wjm 261 Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Hadn't some bright spark decided it would be a good idea to have a challenge with Edinburgh. What a moronic statement to make, on so many levels, neither trolling or smart, just crass. You have shown yourself up for what you really are with that one.

A rider has to want to come to your club before you can sign them. When did cook ever state a desire to come to Ipswich? Lanham obviously did as did Ben barker. Louis is not an idiot. But your assertion that by you constantly bleating about you have signed Craig Cook and your promotion has failed because they have not is quite frankly ridiculous. Louis signed you Ben barker for gods sake. If cook had wanted to go to Ipswich then chances are you may have signed him. But Cook was loyal to edinburgh and was only ever going there to be honest 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
