old bob at herne bay 828 Posted October 30, 2018 I wonder ......... what win bonus the Lakeside riders were offered if they won the p.off and shield ? what win bonus the Workington riders collected ? what members of the Lakeside promotion were present at Workington's Derwent Park? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobC 664 Posted October 30, 2018 Lawson has history at Workington. He hates going there. Theres agro between him and his Dad. He missed the earlier meeting in August as he was 'ill'. Got a right bollocking off Garry May as Lawson didnt realise he would miss further meetings for Somerset as a result! 7 day ban for illness nowadays, I believe. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
