Gavan 5,050 Posted September 15, 2023 Im biased being a Witches fan but what a signing this guy has turned out to be Gives 110% every meeting ....not just here for a payday and turning up as and when it suits him. His scoring has been sensational but i want to touch on the other side of our sport He is the last one out of the pits to the changing rooms.....signs EVERY autograph and has EVERY picture EVERY week........always has a smile on his face and chats to everyone I knew he was a class rider but to see how he interacts with all the fans all the time he has been a pure pleasure to see every week We need more riders that do this not just hastily disappear after a meeting Ive heard from various sources that at away matches he has time for all the opposing supporters to Thankful as an Ipswich fan we didnt sign Holder with the attitude he has!! 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FishersGate 522 Posted September 15, 2023 I think I can speak on behalf of most speedway fans here in the UK and we would all love Emil at their club next season. He's been the best rider I've ever seen at leicester this season. Just an insane rider and an all round nice guy. I couldn't give a monkeys what average he's on, sign him up leicester! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
89buttons 761 Posted September 15, 2023 Class act on and off the track, hope he’s riding for the witches for years to come 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerblade 221 Posted September 15, 2023 He did all of that (photos/autographs etc) at Sheffield by all accounts as well, he has certainly immersed himself in the whole Club, which is brilliant to see. I hope he races in the UK next year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeW436 597 Posted September 15, 2023 Helped load the van up and then spent a good 20 minutes taking pictures with fans and signing things at Peterborough a few weeks ago, a real class act on and off track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TTT 1,229 Posted September 15, 2023 100% agree, Emil's got time for everyone, Class act. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teromaafan 586 Posted September 15, 2023 Totally agree with all posts so far. Professional, talented and sincere. Please don’t tell me he is also kind or has a great personality as I could possibly hate him! Seriously, British Speedway is very fortunate to have him. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,290 Posted September 15, 2023 A lad who looks like he enjoys his job... And is very, very good at it... Cannot wait to watch the lad at the NSS on Monday... If he gets an 18 max everyone will get VFM... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's change the rules of the whole season at the end of it.... No one really cares anyway, so let the likes of Emil and Dan ride as many times as they can over the two legs..... Would improve the spectacle several fold... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cowboy cookie returns? 747 Posted September 16, 2023 Totally agree with everything that’s been said the guy is pure class on & off the track & an example to all. If only more were like him. I would be perfectly happy to have him & Doyle back again next year I know it would make us very top heavy but these two have made huge difference to the feel at Foxhall.
