screm Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Hopefully Lakeside will be packed out tonight to honour Lee,and there will be plenty of good racing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghcooke Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Good luck to all the riders and everyone else who will be there. Have just read the piece in the Speedway Star about Lee and John Davis - excellent. I knew Lee through his time at Swindon and through a mutual friendship with one of his main sponsors, Andy Nurden. He was a gentleman in every way and I will wear my #RICO T shirt this evening in his memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers89 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Must admit, best meeting ive been to at Lakeside, deserved win for Darcy. Loads of money raised to a great cause aswell, what a fitting tribute to a great servant to our sport. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Absolutely cracking meeting with all riders giving their all. Fitting tribute to Lee. Edited September 28, 2012 by Pirates Of Poole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Absolutely cracking meeting with all riders giving their all. Only dissapontment was the Lakeside fans cheering when Darcy hit the deck in the final. Booed him when presented his trophy at the end by Emma. Very poor considering all the boys rode for nothing tonight. Fitting tribute to Lee. Edited September 28, 2012 by Pirates Of Poole 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumOldBird Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I don't know it was Lakeside fans but in light of why we were all there I felt it was in poor taste :-( RIP #RICO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
