DSC67 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Didn't there used to be a rule that when you accepted a booking you couldn't ride anywhere else unless you where injured or riding for you own team ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted June 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Which will include Berwick's own Nick Morris !!! Â Yes, which I have already posted, having been invited and accepted to ride tonight at Berwick, Nick Morris should be doing so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NM has probally been offered a good pay day whatever he scores tonight so it seems it might be money over loyalty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topsoil Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Cracking night for it, been scorchio here all day. Took a detour through Shielfield this afternoon while running an errand, very impressed with the garden party set up. Hopefully things will go well tonight and still get a decent turn out.

topsoil Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 The sun shines on the righteous. Good night of entertainment, some good racing, Ben Barker was a star, all sorts of goings on, beautiful weather, a big crowd, the day went really well for one of the good guys of the sport. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Howarth and Schlein pulled out as well  Either of them riding on Monday? Bit like King. Treating fans as idiots. How did Louis and Courtney get on - only one winner there for me. Edited June 17, 2017 by SPEEDY69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSC67 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Mark Courtney was in Italy on the spanners for Max Fricke , Ade Compton , Jade Mudgeway. & Johny Swales joined Chris Louis in some demonstration laps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcat Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 It was a good night with close racing and sun,sun,sun. Good turnout too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondGlory Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Good racing, some nice passes by Barker, and it was a nice touch to pay homage to Olsson, Jones, and Fry. Was a bit confusing with the ghost race, but still. Glad summers did well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KN1 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) just got home and what was a great evening for a fantastic bloke and a great servant to speedway, fully deserved Kev. Edited June 18, 2017 by KN1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted June 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Great to see a big turn out for Kevin, inparticular great to see fans from his former clubs Kings Lynn and Ipswich making the trip up. Looks like everyone had a good day and with a bit of luck Kevin made a few pounds notes along the way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8scot Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 What a great night for a great guy. True to the guy Kevin is, lots of fun things going on. I have never met anyone who doesn't like Dooly and last night was a fitting tribute to one of speedways gentlemen I hope he really enjoyed his big day out, I know I did!!! Â Having been on way too many Testimonial committees I can say that rider availability is always a factor and late call-offs are not only an annoying fact of life but they are actually expected. Kevin would have factored in some stand-bys for sure. These guys all ride Speedway and they are all mates, I don't think Kevin will bear any grudges. Personally, I attend a Testimonial because I like the rider irrespective of who is riding. The guys last night put on a brilliant show and a Testimonial programme with only 3 name changes is pretty impressive 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
