and me Out of Stansted Friday morning.

well I cant make the 1st June!! Stop being selfish!!!

Oh dear - been a long week obviously and its only Wednesday (or is it Tursday , then again maybe its only Monday!!! ) Its on Thursday 29th May. But then again maybe......... na - youre having a bad enough week already obviously!!!!!

Yes, I remember him saying this - that seems like a very good plan and good on Billy.

Thats cool. Love watching Billy H ride but I think Ricky Wells will impress as well so whatever the team they should be exciting. Also wondering - do we know what time this meeting starts? Billy J has to be back in the UK for a lunchtime start on the Monday for our home and away meetings with Peterborough!

I thought Billy H had a difference of opinion with the American Governing Body, over their lack of support and money for American Speedway amongst other things. And because of that I thought he was no longer doing International duties. A man with morals. But if he is riding then good luck to him. Love watching the Americans ride but not sure whether they are strong enough to come through the qualifier - I reaaaallllllly hope so though

Hi 5 I couldnt agree more but the H&S regulations are so different here than in Poland. Cardiff has said that in order to open up for fans to watch practice they would require a large number of staff to 'control' this. Safety stewards, entry stewards, first aiders etc. Its a real shame but this time bad management within speedway isnt to blame, its the countrys rules and regulations!!

You lot are really really mean!!!

*****PRESS RELEASE***** THE JOHNO TESTIMONIAL: Coventry, 22nd June 2008, 1pm Steve Johnston has added two of the World’s best young riders to his Testimonial lineup – British Under-21 Champion TAI WOFFINDEN and Australian Champion CHRIS HOLDER. Tai says “Johno has been around since I was born. He used to live with my mum and dad when I was young and I’ve pretty much grown up with him, out in Australia as well. He’s a great, great family friend, a top bloke. “He’s definitely good fun and helped me out loads with my speedway. I used his bike when we first came over, and in Australia as well, and he’s given me loads of tips.” Chris added “I didn’t really know him personally back home because he’s from the other side of Australia but I’ve always known about him, and heard that he’s good to be around. Since I’ve started riding seniors he’s always been good, giving me advice. “I’m pretty stoked he picked me to ride in his Testimonial!” RIDERS ANNOUNCED SO FAR: LEIGH ADAMS, SCOTT NICHOLLS, JASON CRUMP, CHRIS HOLDER, TAI WOFFINDEN. DEMONSTRATION RIDE BY PETER COLLINS. *****END*****

Chris - THIS is a brilliant site. It is updated frequently and is worth book marking. Hope it helps

lol - but I dont think so - you each only have one bottle in your hand!!!!!

Maybe Shazzy and Im sure those two companies are pleased with their maximum coverage. However, I also commented on Saturday how the majority of banners around the track were for forthcoming GP's. I think Rob missed a couple but overall the marketing of the event was poorly managed. Im sure that other companies could see the benefits as Meridian Lifts and Speedy hire have - but have they been sourced??

**********PRESS RELEASE********** THE JOHNO TESTIMONIAL: Coventry, 22nd June 2008, 1pm 1976 World Champion PETER COLLINS will be turning out for a demonstration ride during Steve Johnston’s Testimonial, and he will have his World Final winning bike at the event. The legendary “PC” has known Johno since his early days in the UK. “I’ve been a lot of trips with him – Poland, Germany, and when he was at Long Eaton I used to go with him back in those days when he was short of someone. “I took him on his first trip to Lonigo in Italy when he was just a young kid and he did very well, and that sowed the seeds for what’s happened for him there since. He’s certainly a star in Lonigo! “He’s a great guy Johno, full of enthusiasm. He’s done really well for English Speedway, come over here and roughed it out and never complained, made himself a good career. When he goes back to Perth finally he’ll have some great memories of Britain and Europe.” RIDERS ANNOUNCED SO FAR: LEIGH ADAMS, SCOTT NICHOLLS, JASON CRUMP. DEMONSTRATION RIDE BY PETER COLLINS. **********END**********

Lawrence - Its a good job I know you - for one moment I got very worried. Although with Chris's hit and miss start to the season you may do better. I assume by that picture you are there. We leave UK at lunchtime tomorrow so hopefully catch up and say hi on Saturday. xxx

Excuse me miss - hope this doesnt mean your pulling out!! Havent seen you 'like forever' and if my only chance is September then I will have to wait but you will still be there wont you??

Well thats a big shame. How can someone cause trouble in a game (spudspud are you reading)!! Sorry we wont be doing Steve's game this year but if we cant persuade him differently then its over to you Bert! PS Im joking about spudspud - its the fun we have on the Football Prediction thread!!!

I hope so but I also hope that its soon - it may just be for fun but for those travelling out to Slovenia we would like it sooner rather than later. Please xxxxxxxxx

NO - they are not coming on this trip!!!! Bless their little hearts though - but they have bikes to clean and early nights to uphold - they are of course working for one of Coventry's leading lights at the moment!!!! I cant wait to see what comments are now made by those that know them!! (Matt Davis and Turn Right Instead - over to you!)

which boys?? I know so many!!!!

We go Friday morning Bert so we want to get our reply in before then so - come on boys - sort it out!!! Turners was a simple game and I understood that - hope yours (if thats what happens) is just as simple Bert. Dont do thinking!! PS - I think he may be out of the Country - but not 100% sure

They are trying to put out press releases once a week Colin. So as long as I get to my e mails and post on here BEFORE Dave updates the Bees website and you post on here I will keep you all updated. (Just kidding CC) Either way Colin - its great to keep the interest going weekly May pop off to another thread (if its still there) to check the queue length now new riders are being added!!!

Sorry - sad I know - but im getting excited now!!! 1st GP of the season and we fly out of Luton on Friday Lunchtime. Cant wait and the weather forecast for UK and Europe looks absolutely FANTASTIC! (Radio said heatwave at the weekend - but I think that may be exaggerating just a tad!!) Roll on Friday

**** PRESS RELEASE**** THE JOHNO TESTIMONIAL: Coventry, 22nd June 2008, 1pm The universally-admired Speedway superstar LEIGH ADAMS is the latest name to be unveiled for Steve Johnston’s big day in June. The Swindon captain sees this as due reward for all that Australian colleague Johno has given to other riders’ testimonial meetings. “Without a doubt I’m happy to be riding in this Testimonial, because I think Johno is Mr Testimonial, isn’t he? He’s chased every Testimonial down I think. I’m quite sure he actually goes to the BSPA at the start of the year and finds out when they are, and chases them down because there’s not too many he’s missed. “It’s nice that his day’s come around and it’s nice to be able to help him out. “I know there’s a hell of a lot of people coming over from Aussie for it, and being at Coventry it’s central to most of the clubs he’s ridden for. It should be a good day and I hope it all goes off well.” RIDERS ANNOUNCED SO FAR: LEIGH ADAMS, SCOTT NICHOLLS, JASON CRUMP. ***END***
