JIROUT Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thank you. So Ritchie said nothing we didn't already know and Phil trying to make Ritchie the bad guy! Hmm. London Witch That is completely unfair........Ritchie refused to ride in a race on Thursday....So on one hand he is saying the Manager has no confidence and takes him out of rides and then we hear he refuses to ride a race when given it.........and that's the managers fault.......Think he has let the team down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Ritchie basically said he been struggling since early season crash, then bike issues, loves the club but under current setup the team will win nothing! Hilton then responsed by saying that Ritchie refused to ride in heat 5 on thursday as rr. Stormed off and called him some nasty names! Thank you. So Ritchie said nothing we didn't already know and Phil trying to make Ritchie the bad guy! Hmm. Deary me!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Damn , I completely forgot about it , will also have to wait for iPlayer or something , if anyone finds a repeat somewhere please let us know where it is ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIROUT Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 But Ritchie didnt have a pop at the manager, said they get on away from the track but at a meeting is another matter and dont see eye to eye. What about the times that Hawkins was riding better than others but wasn't put in, Newcastle away heat 14? Newcastle away where Stef dived under Christian Henry for 3rd and won us a point.....that one you mean ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbendbeerhut Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Newcastle away where Stef dived under Christian Henry for 3rd and won us a point.....that one you mean ????? But Hawkins had paid 7 before then, Nielsen 1.... We'll agree to disagree. Like i said no need for anyone at the club to say anything...just thanks and move on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said no need for anyone at the club to say anything...just thanks and move on Well yes exactly and that should have been the case. But Hawkins has decided not to do that, and the manager quite rightly, has decided to give his side and defend himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he not given the opportunity on the radio to explain this? Something doesn't seem right here, this isn't the Ritchie who was awarded the most improved rider at last years awards.

If there was a change of plan wouldnt the TM have discussed it with the captain before the meeting?Would be 2 on the trot for Ritchie so who was dropping who in it with only a couple of mins before a race?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Well Hawkins has done what's best for him and quit. Maybe in the end this will be best for the club to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner47 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm with the majority on this, his refusal to take the R/R last Thursday shows him in a very bad light. Let's move on and wish the lads the best for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bash Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 And still nothing on the official club website welcoming our new rider or that Ritchie has left the club. Pretty poor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 So after all this. The rider that some thought was a team man and a good captain wasn't. And the manager that some think isn't that great, myself included actually is good. Right. Glad that's sorted out. Ipswich have put something on twitter about Hawkins and morris. So welcome to ipswich ashley morris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither side is totally right and neither side totally to blame. Time to draw and line and move on perhaps?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSpecialOne Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Can't help thinking that the biggest winner in all of this sorry affair is Tungate. Certainly has taken the focus off his failings this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
