martinmauger 584 Posted February 7, 2019 Seem to recall Nicholls almost won at Cardiff one year, made the final but broke the tapes. Ok, he may, and may not, have won anyway (against the likes of Adams, Crump, Greg, NickiP, TRick?) but theoretically he had a 1 in 4 chance.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruno 1,790 Posted February 7, 2019 He was passing riders all night as well, could easily have won that year. Was it the year after Bomber won? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPEEDY69 1,260 Posted February 8, 2019 2005 Czech Golden Helmet was a great achievement also, passing Crump and Nicki P in the final. Funny, when I was looking at old GPs it was often Scott and Nicki battling it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K2tL0PbX4M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DOSmiMV9Js https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DOSmiMV9Js https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvD-Y2YHX5A Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted February 18, 2019 Tru Plant/Tru7.com and Guy Nicholls continue their sponsorship of the Witches https://ipswichwitches.co/tru-plant-continue-title-sponsorship/ Excellent news obviously but a few interesting little titbits in that article. Firstly, from the wording it seems like if we’d have remained in the second tier he/they wouldn’t have sponsored us? And secondly, the last paragraph names the riders they are helping out this year. Makes it a little more surprising (and disappointing) that a deal couldn’t be done to get Doyle at Foxhall this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racin Jason 72 1,283 Posted February 21, 2019 John has given Sterling service to Ipswich speedway as a rider and as a promoter. Genuinely humble and a top guy. I think he should be nominated for a MBE or OBE. Not sure how you go about that but perhaps someone out there can advise as John really does deserve to be recognised. A genuine legend. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emma T 11 Posted February 22, 2019 Yes, Well done John - a genuine nice guy in the sport & Witches legend. (Strange how according to the Companies House website he did actually resign on January 1st 2012 so just a bit late with the announcement?) Also no mention of 'Buster' being involved there either yet, still showing Chris as the sole owner/director??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
