Daytripper 1,123 Posted March 17, 2015 Its nice to see that the three heat-leaders for the "visitors" i.e Lee's All Stars/ Rory, Scott and Davey, have not been picked randomly but were all particular friends of Lee, while Richie and Justin both rode under Lee's captaincy. Roo-boy Scott and Davey are all pretty popular with the Lakeside fans as well so a lot of us will be looking forward to this one as a nice challenge match to start the season.

g13webb 4,254 Posted March 21, 2015 I was both surprised and pleased with the performance of Kelvin Tatum. Obviously he wanted to contribute to his old friend Rico, and what better way then riding... They say you an never go back, but Kelvin has proved he was more then up for the task..... There's life in the Olde dog yet......... Well done mate........... Am well impressed...... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,710 Posted March 29, 2015 Just sticking to the contract that was signed.there will be plenty that signed contracts and afterwards their status has changed due to a secondary agreement and with it the priority over them.I havent seen any others threatened with the sack unless they agree to reverse the expected priority.
