"Wanting their bit of the Lions" In what capacity are the 'inner circle' claiming this? I am certain I never asked for my bit, which it must confer was never offered neither. Damn I hate finding out later on what I've missed out on Note to self, if you hand over money make sure you get a bit. M

OUCH. Thought it time to join this forum, it seems it needs a 'nice fella' Firstly I would like to be, probably the first on here, to actually congratulate Dave Howard on his appointment as Manager. I can't really say I know Dave that well, but what I do know from the times we have talked is that he is very knowledgable about the sport of speedway, in fact many other sports as well. I enjoy the banter and have even bumped into him in the tunnel at a slightly different speedway meeting. I wish you and the team well for the season. I spent nearly 10 seconds wondering what pseudonym to hide behind, then realised that would go away from my principles so here I am, the one and only Martin Perkins from AFS. Those that know me will know I am a pretty straight forward person, if someone asks me a question I will try and answer it. I won't hide away and I don't hold a grudge. I will not answer any direct questions on here, and who would? Sponsorship by AFS is not happening this season. Now anyone on here can speculate the reasons but the truth is AFS is not sponsoring anything, speedway teams, riders or any other sport, in 2014. Yes a certain Dane will be using our house as his base but as a company AFS is not helping financially. quote name="lionking" post="2407897" timestamp="1392513364"]He was just a sponsor who was just given the position to keep him happy. You are well informed, I had presumed that maybe the reason but as you know this to be true you must be fairly well connected. I was honoured to lead the Leicester Cubs and would like to take this opportunity to thank the riders, mechanics and all the unpaid volunteers at Leicester Speedway, yeah it did keep me happy. A chance I am glad to have said yes to. Well it's late time to post my first message then sit back and await some comments. Thanks TWM and Speedway Friend Lionking, stop me someday and ask those questions, I'll give you an honest answer. I am a nice fella, honest
