maybe the lewis of last season re-emerged .he let everyone down , including his team mates . but so did our so-called management . what a sickening end to the season , maybe the eagles . one dugard founded them and another has helped destroy them .
wonder what martin thinks about this . he is our only real hope for next year , or later , in the premier . shut up about that last bit raymond --- you're boring people again .
Just one point to add my big wooden spoon to the subject.....
If said restaurant opened at 9 o'clock couldn't Lewis have still picked up his missing passport and with 11 or 12 hours (allowing for time difference) available still made it to Manchester in time for our meeting?
Im sure he could if he'd really wanted to......
Didnt he have from Thursday night to get home _________________ A Founder Member of the Home Straight Lukas Dryml Appreciation Society!
can only suppose he wanted to watch the final , so that shows where his priorities lay .
Thought he could afford the subscribtion to Sky , Jonas Davidsson rode in the final as did Holder Watt although to be fair they didnt lose their passports did they. _________________ A Founder Member of the Home Straight Lukas Dryml Appreciation Society!
To be fair to him he was due to ride for Czestochowa on Sunday evening along with Lee Richardson.
All riders who ride in Poland on the Sunday stay in a hotel and fly back to the UK early Monday morning if they need to be back. Richardson made it back to be at Arena Essex during the DAY so he could help Swiderski set his engines up for the meeting that evening..
another good reason for not attending for the next month . so we had four eagles this saturday , now there will be three .easy choice to make this time about going
BELLE Vue chief David Gordon blasted Great Britain World Cup star Lewis Bridger for his non-appearance at last night’s Elite League match.
Bridger, the Eastbourne No 1, sent a message saying he was unfit to ride and Stoke’s Lee Complin was given a last-minute booking to replace him.
Then, shortly before the start, it was discovered Bridger was racing in Poland which forced Eastbourne to tell a furious Complin he couldn’t ride.
It also meant Eastbourne could have only one rider in three races and while the situation helped the 151 Aces to an eight-point win, Gordon was far from happy.
He said: “As far as I’m concerned Bridger cheated himself, his club and also our fans who paid good money to get in and saw three three-man races.
Make of that what you will, its Lewis or the Management messing about and I go with the former....
Well, if that bit regarding Lee Complin is correct, it absolves Trevor from any flak he has received about making an error over the averages, if it was considered that Bridger was "witholdinng" his services, they presumably could not replace him, and if they discovered he was riding elsewhere......!?
Further to Kevin54s post I think Trevor was put in a terrible position over this. Word at the stadium was that Lewis had phoned to say he was sick. Lee was brought in at very short notice and was introduced on the parade lap. There was a bit of a delay when the riders went back after the warm up before the announcer came on to say that websites were showing that Lewis was riding in Poland so Lee would not be able to ride. The announcer made particular reference to their being no attempt by Trevor to mislead or misrepresent by his actions.
Well done to the riders who did turn up. Huge effort to cover as well as they did given the circumstances.
Small group of travelling fans did well to help raise the team as well. Nice touch by Belle Vue to invite them to watch the last race from the centre green to say thanks for supporting the meeting.
a team manager must surely be aware of his own riders averages and know that of an intended guest, also how this will affect the overall team limit , that is an essential part of his job . therefore , not unusally trevor has failed . not his fault over the bridger business , when was he aware of the problem , and when was bridger due back originally , though this makes no difference except how briger is treated . when a rider is suspended for witholding his services it is normal for the affected club to be allowed a guest within the normal parameters . they may elect instead to utilise the dreaded r/r . with our case we still were using this facility already . another failing of management --- other teams have managed worse situations and even re-built their 1 to 7 without our seeming problems .
Ray you have misunderstood. The guest would have been allowed if Lewis had been sick. The facility was not allowed as he had gone awol. _________________ click here for the latest front page news
so what does happen , r/r ? but in the past i have noticed the facilty has been used as i thought it should not be allowed . must have happened when bspa had another bad day at the office david . clearly remember as it annoyed me so much .presumably if lewis' reason had not been discovered until after the meeting complin's points would have been deducted . we want speedway , not politics
