daniel greaves Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 they did announce 2500, but its hard to tell how many exactly, also, i didn't get a free dvd, which if there where 2,500 there, then surely i should have recieved one too. anyway, i'll probably buy one <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I only got a DVD when i bought a program. It states the first 3,000 recieve a free DVD NOT the first 3,000 to buy a program (at £3 each!). I also never got an admission ticket just a raffel card thing. Bit unfair this i think? I also found most of the racing a bit bland with hardly any raing for the first half. Was an OK night though and dont mean to put a downer on things.

The Grim Reaper Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Obviously Nikki Pedersen has no use for a road bike so it was nice to see him throttle back & let Crump win it. Proof yet again what a top bloke he is, & the best rider by far today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Nicki and Leigh going at it in heat 8 and Nicki's swoop around Scott in the final where the highlights for me. haha so I've heard, good old Leigh ....... he gave as good as he got apparently?? Save some of that aggression for the GP's too!! A very brave move by Pedersen around Scotty too, brave or crazy??? Good to watch nevertheless eh? I take it someone videod it??

Mr. Clemens Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Good meeting - it was a 'cracker' - back straight open - made the day worthwhile in itself Pedersen most entertaining rider on the day Crump worthy winner Pity the public didn't turn out in droves for this one - but hey that's speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit unfair this i think? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't think you needed to buy a program i just took one off the table (before anyone says anything i did buy a program i just didnt see the DVD at the side ) The admission ticket is the raffel card thing no expenses spared at sheffield Shame about only 2500 i did expect more than that, but it was a brilliant night some top class racing on a top class track (even jason crump agree's) would be nice to see that every week!

Ace no.5 Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Obviously Nikki Pedersen has no use for a road bike so it was nice to see him throttle back & let Crump win it. Proof yet again what a top bloke he is, & the best rider by far today. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LMAO, of course... Crump definitely a deserved winner, only dropping one point all night. Was a very enjoyable meeting IMHO, first visit to Owlerton in a long time, since I was about 3 foot tall i guess...! Nice stadium, not too impressed by the parking facilities though!

Nevs Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) The admission ticket is the raffel card thing no expenses spared at sheffield <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats nothing mate-reminds me of dear old Colin at Exeter. Always paid his riders wages on time in Truprint envelopes picked up at motorway services on his travels and the possible rain off tickets, for as long as I can remember, always said Belle Vue on them and werent handed out until the very last minute unless it looked a rain off could be possible( I still wonder where he got his hands on them as a job lot!!)-but was always accomodating to away fans that couldnt get back even if he sent Tony out to deal with the cash refunds -Bless him Sounds like it was a great meeting and glad everyone that was there enjoyed themselves. Apologies for butting in on these threads and reminiscing but Im really missing the start of the season and cant travel-you lucky blighters-Jealous as hell Edited March 20, 2006 by Nevsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went up 2 the stand and the person went 'thats £3 please' and handed me a dvd and program. Ohh I dot know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 bugger, i thought you'd get the dvd when you went through the turnstile i got a program, saw the dvd's, but just thought they were for sale but who cares, it was still a great night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also found most of the racing a bit bland with hardly any raing for the first half. Was an OK night though and dont mean to put a downer on things. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I purchased my programme at the front turnstyles. IMO £3.00 for a 56 page coloured programme with plenty of good articles about Sean is excellent value for money. Go to a concert and for the equivalent you would have to pay at least a fiver. Also I was handed a DVD before I purchased my programme. There was nothing stopping me walking away without buying a programme. IMO the racing was superb and it was nice to see some of the worlds best riding Sheffield how its meant to be ridden. Great nights entertainment and best wishes to Sean. Pity about his engine failure in his second heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masked_rooster Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 excellent meeting well worth the trip over the tops.pedersen was his usual self running adams out in one heat but leigh showed he was made of sterner stuff by stuffing him back.crump showed he meant business as early as his first heat and was a worthy winner and i dont think any rider had a bad meeting,liked the look of young kyle (i think he will be an ace in a few seasons) only down side was i thought sean deserved double the gate he had at least!

Tigershark Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 could anyone please tell me thankyou if this dvd is for sale to the general public also was this meeting filmed if so does anyone know the details on how purchase this meeting on tape or dvd thankyou. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I believe you can purchase the DVD for £7.99. try Seans own website. I also believe that the DVD of the meeting itself will be able to be purchased at a later date. It was certainly being filmed as they were showing the races in the Panorama Room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartynP Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Made my first ever visit to Owlerton yesterday since moving up to Yorkshire from Dorset and, despite the cold, I will be returning if the racing yesterday is anything to go by! Did start to wonder in the first four heats if I would enjoy the meeting as it was all very processional but after then there was passing in almost every heat with some real fast outside lines being taken. Stood on backstraight (why is this not open all the time??) and had excellent view of some really close second bends. Thought on more than one occasion that a rider was going to go through the fence and join me on the terraces! With racing like this last night Sheffield must go Elite! If they did I would make the 80 mile round trip every week but am reluctant to do so for the PL as I feel that there is too much home advantage resulting in one-sided home wins.

The Grim Reaper Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 pedersen was his usual self running adams out in one heat What you saw is a thing called o-v-e-r-t-a-k-i-n-g, although granted you don't see Pedersen having to do it all that often as he's usually half a lap in front of the also rans.
