I'm not sure if there is any standard policy of allowing ex-players into rugby league matches, but my local rugby league club at Whitehaven do have a policy of allowing their ex-players in for free. More freeloading jam eaters! Edit: Little West Cumbrian in joke there, apologies to anyone puzzled.

Gemini Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) Coventry next then. They like to do things in alphabetical order, especially the team in an effort to stop us printing our own programme.

Obviously didn't make a fortune out of the sport, although he's still to put up who he actually is and what he actually achieved, offering £50 towards the Ben Fund for a season long entry pass to any stadium in the country, that would equate to what 2 and a bit full admission costs for an EL meeting, maybe 3 PL meetings. Expect he'd want a free programme too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to admire his nerve! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many races did you win wackie ? Lol Rob, you barely qualify as being referred to as a "rider" anyway surely ? 10 meetings, over 4 years with an average that even Justin Elkins would have laughed at does not make you some kind of font of knowledge about all things racing... How many did you actually win Rob ? I'm guessing looking at your average, perhaps one ?

Coventry junior when they had 6 race meetings. One proper meeting. Then was a joke for Sheffield. Now changing tyres for kwik fit or someone in Nuneaton or the like.. In Ipswich terms, he made Craig Hyde look like Tomasz Gollob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinMills Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 with those averages, id like to know the best rider he ever beat? not knocking anyone who has ever ridden, but when he says having ex riders on the terraces is good for PR, yes, if its Anders Michanek, but rob homer? i honestly never heard of that name in speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Rob will confirm his greatest scalp, but thinking back to those days, i would imagine his win, if he even had any, would have been maybe in a race that ended with 2 finishers or less...and to be honest, i imagine his opponent would have been pushing his bike home aswell. Anyway, no doubt Rob will educate us all soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
