ch958 2,396 Posted February 26, 2015 I agree, I think we will see Bridger racing before the season is out, but it seems he has no equipment so what club out there would be daft or desperate enough to go out and buy kit for him. just that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
secsy1 215 Posted February 26, 2015 A certain Elite League rider has equipment to spare for a few months, maybe he could pay as you go to use it? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spin king 1,923 Posted February 26, 2015 Not sure what this loan to buy equipment is all about, I understood that he was loaning equipment off Chris Harris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got the impression bomber was going to fix him up with a couple of motors, but obviously wants money for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 15 Posted February 26, 2015 What if the conversation went something like this... Mick Horton : "Lewis, sign for Coventry for £2.50 a point and a all the sausage rolls you can eat after a meeting" Lewis Bridger: "I'd love to but I have no engines" MH : "Hang on Lewis, I'll ring you back" MH: "Bomber, can you help get Lewis some bikes?" Chris Harris: "Sure Mick. No problem. I can find him some bikes" MH: "Great, I'll tell him"MH :"Good news Lewis. Bombers going to find you some engines"LB: "Great. But my mechanic wants a sausage roll each meeting too"MH: "Deal" So Lewis think Mick is going to buy him some bikes via Bomber. Bomber thinks he's going to find some bikes for Lewis. Mick think he's finding some bikes, via Bomber for Lewis to buy. Just confusion. Nobody set out to trick, con or upset any other, they just misunderstood what we being asked for an offered. At the point the confusion was realised, Lewis asked Mick for a loan and Mick refused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robert72 845 Posted February 26, 2015 It seems madness to me that any club would want to loan a rider money. But it's ok for clubs to pay the airfares for overseas riders & mechanics ? My first thoughts were where were the Coventry fans with there bucket ? They were quick enough to find money for a riders wife & kids to fly around the world to live in Poland but not to help out an English rider. Saying that if lewis was that keen he would spend a week in Coventry knocking on doors looking for sponsorship. I think there is more too it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big difference there, on one hand you have a guy who got into trouble with UK visas and was a genuine case.... On the other hand you have a guy who has just blown all his spare cash on long holidays and now wants hand outs to get himself back into the sport. Not difficult to work out really.

waiheke1 4,295 Posted February 27, 2015 Only two people know what really happened..three. I bet middlo knows as well. He knows everything. Just wait for the tweet about how his lawyer mate of 28 years has never seen such a clear case of broken promise in all his years of being in court 24/7. Damn that off duty police man and his offer of a free bike. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
