comet49 Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Yeah, cheers Anthony, all the best. Think Steve will be fine, might give a new meaning to tractor racing, can’t see him beating his best time round DP though..... Good luck Marra.

Halifaxtiger Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Some of you may know that Hoggy gives me a lift to home meetings and I have just been speaking to him about his involvement in 2018, because due to business commitments I know that Friday nights could be difficult. He has said that the promotion want him to continue with Saturdays and he is making every effort to come for at least some Fridays. I'll admit I am biased (and my lifts might be affected if I say otherwise ) but I think he is a top quality presenter, so this has to be good news and a reflection on the promotions efforts to retain their existing supporter base and attract new ones during 2018. A big part of Dave's motivation for trying to sort out Fridays is his genuine affection for the hospitality and kindness of the people of Workington, something he has mentioned to me many times. I did have a couple of trips to Dodge City pencilled in but it looks likely that that will be increased at least a bit 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 hoggy is prob one of the best , if not THE best presenters in speedway . i think he has a bigger fan base than some of the riders ! its been enjoyable listening to him for the last few years and i hope he has enjoyed the cumbrian craic . i hope he can continue with his banter and wit @workington for years to come . the same must be said for all those people who give up their spare time to help run the club and meeting . me, i am looking forward to the end of march to enjoy the delights of what looks like a good team (with a few! locals scoped in ! )hope you can do a few HOME meetings in 2018 tiger . but that hoggy guy . LEG END or whot ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comet49 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) I wasn't there but have been told it was packed and a good night. Natalie Quirk from BT Sports was the presenter and did a long Q & A with Kyle. Belle Vue had asked Kyle to ride in the Championship too but he wants a year in the Championship first. There were people there from Belle Vue and Redcar.. Natalie has worked in other sports but has been a Belle Vue fan for years and is now doing her dream job. Proceeds were for Air Ambulance and fund after young Glasgow lad who died, drink spiked I think. Probably be in this weeks Star. My opinion.

Taylorj Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I was there, it was a great night, plenty of support for our new no.7. Natalie Quirk was a brilliant compare and over £400.00 raised for charity to be split between Great North Air Ambulance and the Greg Mackie Trust , the young Speedway rider from Glasgow who passed away . 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
