Baldyman Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 It has taken him a few years to get to his level he is at now, has he got any improvement left in him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimmo Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I know PHIL HILTON very well........he knows more about speedway than most on this Forum....he is as straight as they come..a goood motivator....won't follow the "Company Line"..top man..doesn't take "prisoners"..!!...but in all seriousness that's a very good appointment...could have been an awful lot worse when I scroll up and see a certain name. Give him a chance.... Fully agree with those comments. Rob Lyon had no speedway background, yet went on to become the England manager. Mr Hilton might not get to that level, but I think we can rest easy that he will the job 100%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Tbh the team manager doesn't have to be a rocket scientist to be any good. What he needs is 7 willing riders and background of what makes them tick. Also a brown envelope or 2 to make them ride a certain way would help. Eg make sure you don't get a 4-2 so the opposition can't put in a tac sub but will still pay for 2nd place?! Also depends on his "tools" final 2 places will have a big say on whether the Witches will be there abouts come autumn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Well someones happy...... Ipswich Witches director of speedway Chris Louis admitted to being “more than happy” with the appointment of Phil Hilton as team manager. taken from http://www.lovespeedway24.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IpswichDave Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anQqhI8t-pU&feature=youtu.be Witches "Taster" video, 4 return, 3 join, team is obviously set then.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 So Louis doesn't know if Ipswich will have first call an Danny in a clash? Isn't that something he should have looked into and should know by now. I'm absolutely amazed that he doesn't know, is it that hard to find out? Well if we don't have first call, then we will be using guests pretty often as at least half the away meetings are on a Friday night, and that's not including any play offs we may face or cup matches. Yes we can use guests, but is that really the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we have been told that Worrall, Ellis and Risager will not be there to not really telling us anything we don't know!

CardinalSin Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 So doesn't look like the final two will be revealed Tomorrow either as we'd have had a Bacon tweet by now. We can also cross Arthur Sissis of the potential 5 pointer list, Sheffield bound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess the "not knowing" is down to not knowing whether Horton is planning on purchasing his contract or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Nah i don't believe that, I just don't think he knows, otherwise he would have said it like that surely. Ring ring, hello, oh hi Mr Horton, it's Chris Louis here, I was just wondering if you could tell me if you are intending to buy Danny kings contact from the bspa?

Baldyman Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Read the news piece from Sheffield, it basically says on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPanther Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Nah i don't believe that, I just don't think he knows, otherwise he would have said it like that surely. Why would he not find out at the recent conference, or make a phone call to someone that knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Why would he not find out at the recent conference, or make a phone call to someone that knows. Thats what you would think but...... “As Danny’s contract is currently being held by the British Speedway Promoters’ Association, then it’s not clear who will have priority of him should we have a clash with the Bees,” Louis added. “Whatever happens though, we will get a guest, but I’m hoping we will be allowed his services first and I’ll be pressing for that.” So no he doesn't know!

crescent girl Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 16.1 Fixtures shall take priority as follows: FIM Speedway Grand Prix, FIM Speedway World Cup, FIM SGP Qualifying Meetings FIM Junior Speedway World Championship Meetings British Championships (Senior, Junior), BSPA Shared and Fee Events Elite League Competitions. Premier League Competitions, National League Competitions 16.1.1 A Rider must be released by a Promotion to take part in a higher priority Meeting. 16.1.1.1 In the case of a Doubling-Up Rider the priority is: 1. Original Fixture List 2. The “owning” Club (ie. is on that Team’s Retained List) 3. If there is no “ownership” then the PL Club has priority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) If PL club has priority........Horton can go and do one! Happy Days Edited December 3, 2014 by Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 So shouldn't Louis know that? I would have thought in a position called professional sport club he would. Anyway, there must be decent money up for grabs in the premier now if king is going to doing premier bookings instead of elite bookings for quite a few fixtures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
