  1. Whatever the conspiracy theories, there is no way this meeting could have been on today. The call off has been proved the right one.
  2. Retiring (farewell) are quite different to testimonial’s. A testimonial to me has always been every 10 years service to a club.
  3. Quite right. Testimonial’s were rewarded for service to a club, not to the sport. A farewell meeting upon retirement I understand - but not then return a year or two later.
  4. Most Testimonial’s cannot now be taken seriously. It was usually rewarded after 10 years at the same club. I have no idea why that suddenly changed. Understand the ‘Farewell meetings’ (after long service) but not those that benefit then return a year or two later.
  5. I would say Victor Meldrew and Clown is insulting, not abusive. I think ‘crap’ was the taken in bad context, understandable. From what I read the long waits between action is also what really puts me off (crap). I want race after race, as per Wealdstone, not standing around in the cold. Especially for those less fortunate. That’s not entertaining. You stated that you didn’t even understand his comment. Just get on with the meeting is all he meant, as I read it. Pleased you had a good day for a great cause.
  6. He / She totally ignored your point regarding throwing enough darts. Nothing regarding the numerous misses.
  7. I’ve recently read that Speedway Sponsorship is a ‘mugs game’. Please can you stop trying to support a thriving sport to survive. ;-)
  8. I didn’t say he was. Just Gavan’s numerous posts stating Dudek to Ipswich was 100% nailed on.
  9. I think they have backed themselves into a corner with a friends bid in order to maximise the price. If they accept the previous withdraw why not yours? Just say sorry I received it as a present for my birthday so don’t need another. According to the rules you can retract a bid within the 12 hour deadline. Then just leave it - don’t respond.
  10. This seller has 2 bids so don’t understand the problem retracting yours. Unless they are playing games and it’s backfired. Apologise with a good reason (someone bought for your birthday) and at least you have another bidder (sounds false with their strong stance). Either way, you have tried to explain and don’t need to pay anything. I’ve read this As well as the above, timing is also important when retracting a bid: If there are 12 hours or more left before the listing ends, all of your bids can be retracted. If the listing is ending in less than 12 hours, you can retract your most recent bid if it's been less than an hour since you placed it. If you do wish to cancel your bid – and believe you have a valid reason for doing so – timing is everything: If the listing ends in over 12 hours, all bids can be retracted. If the listing ends in under 12 hours, you can retract your most recent bid, but only if it's been less than an hour since you placed it.
  11. How do I cancel an eBay bid? Cancelling an eBay bid can be done via the 'retracting a bid' page, using the 'retract a bid' button. Simply click on this, then select the product you wish to retract your bid for and give your reason for doing so.
  12. Do you realise how stupid you sound? Read your comment back and try to understand how one club is tainting your mind. Dissing invaluable sponsorship as a mug is absolutely disgraceful.
  13. Gav! You’ve gone quiet, are you still 100% sure Dudek to Ipswich? You said it was confirmed many times, for Speedway’s sake I hope you are correct.
  14. Gav has already stated Dudek for Ipswich 100% confirmed, several times on different threads.
  15. Can you share the link? This price is too cheap compared to others. I’ve searched Amazon many times and can’t find anything available. There are a few Alan Carter authors. Just hope he has ordered the correct one.
  16. Can you show me the link? I’ve not seen anything other on Amazon than not available.
  17. Wow! That’s brilliant. You are saying £4.22? My Amazon over the last year has been very expensive or as now not available. Not sure where this very cheap copy has come from but hey ho, if you get it that’s an amazing bargain. Enjoy - it’s a good read.
  18. Okay no problems. My copy is available if needed. It will still be in the same drawer for a long time so won’t miss it. I’m still on Kelly Moran’s book. M Lee’s was a good read but I think we all knew most of the content. Little tip on eBay. I wouldn’t place a bid with 3 days to go, it often ends up just pushing the price up. Leave it to the last 30 mins of the closing day. Good luck.
  19. There is a copy on eBay but not in great condition. Currently bidding at £20 with 3 days to go. Others available for £50. Or you can bid for a signed copy starting at £140. Amazon are out of stock. The last time I looked the used book was valued at +£100. The offer is there if you need it, it is a great read. You sound very much like a trusting guy. Also you’ve told us where you work :-)
  20. It really is a good read. Although difficult to get hold of now due to being sold out. Which increases the price considerably. I don’t mind posting my copy to you then return when finished.
  21. The best book I’ve read is, ‘Alan Carter: Light in the Darkness: The Truth About Mal, Kenny and Me’. One of those books you just can’t put down. Opens your eyes as to why Kenny had Alan had their demons.
  22. If, as you say Hans is definitely in, I hope they are not the same bikes as last season.
  23. For some reason PC has never remained a favourite of mine. Always felt he wasn’t a people person. Always some connection missing, but this was in my younger days. After what he wrote in Steve’s book I feel proved correct. A very bitter man.
  24. Me too, absolutely no way I could attend Speedway at the worst track in British Speedway. However, I’m pleased there are Wolves supporters that do. Small track Speedway is not for me. Each to their own.
