Porgie67 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 More than likely because of issues with Somerset riders , which has nothing to do with this thread. Its a celebration of James career , great guy , fantastic entertainer , this thread isn't the place for people to try and bring up grudges that are about 5 years old. good point wjm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutz Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 More than likely because of issues with Somerset riders , which has nothing to do with this thread. Its a celebration of James career , great guy , fantastic entertainer , this thread isn't the place for people to try and bring up grudges that are about 5 years old. He's been a fantastic entertainer and a superb rider - certainly of the small tighter northern tracks... You need characters like this in the sport, and he's still going strong around a 9pt ave after so long in the sport. An achievement in its own right when you consider his big track exploits... I'd have welcomed him back at Armadale - even after the way he left us in acrimonious circumstances... Pure entertainer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.m Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 He's rarely had the credit he deserves. He just gets on with the job keeping a low profile in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Harkins Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 James has started planning for this big event which will probably take place around September/October time next year. Good luck to you and hope have a great line-up for Crikey,.......20 years!! It doesn't seem that long ago since James was the young up-and-coming Scot, flying around the various tracks looking like the next Scot to take on the world. Good Luck with the Testimonial, James, you deserve it and I hope the weather stays fine and you get a great turn-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
