Was that not a benefit meeting when he was badly injured at the 4's riding for Newcastle at Peterborough ? Or it may have been something else but to my knowledge he's never had a testimonial Edited February 18, 2022 by Justgotmecpc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like it did at every club in every division. Promoter decided to bin the Gems for financial reasons, his decision, not saying it was right or wrong, but that’s what it was, for financial reasons.

If a 5.00 it make us start understrength again by 1.51. Any idea when an assessed average of 5pts for Lee will be confirmed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
