Halifaxtiger Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) No never met him. I know he jumps into photo opportunities, writes about himself and has been 'involved' with more tracks(and they've closed or he has moved on) than most of us have visited! I know people more involved who think Rodgers he is an ego driven twit who will hitch his old arse to any wagon rolling by. Personally, my experience of Laurence is that is very decent bloke who always has time for a chat and a laugh (even when he doesn't), has put a huge amount of his own time and money into the sport and is as passionate about it as anyone I have ever met. He's been in the sport for at least 40 years and has done everything - announcer, promoter, team manager, has ridden bikes for charitable purposes and organised youth meetings (and probably a lot more besides). Seeing him at Lakeside this season he still remains as truly incredibly enthusiastic about speedway as he was when I first met him in 2006. I am very pleased to count him as a friend.

He does what others on here don't. He gets up off his backside, and does things within the sport, only to be shot down by the "never do anything" brigade, sitting alongside the haven't a ******* clue brigade. People who 'do" make mistakes, whilst those who 'don't' never have. Edited October 4, 2014 by Tsunami 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storming Norman Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Having publicised 'an in-principle agreement is in place to see a return of the sport to Milton Keynes in 2015' an update is well over due.

Ray Stadia Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I wouldn't hold your breath. :sad: Milton Keynes could be a great 'feeder track' for the mighty Slough Speedway team! Just an idea! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Reigning champions Milton Keynes still running a MDL team at Mildenhall next year What actual recognition does the MDL Milton Keynes team enjoy in regard to publicity in that area - local Press coverage for a start, as well as other sources of media attention in the area they represent?

Maybe Slough can 'buddy up' with another club? How is Norwich coming along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
