The King of the Showground Celebrates

Panthers legend of the last ten years and fans’ favourite Ryan Sullivan celebrates his well deserved Testimonial this coming Sunday (2nd April) with a mouth watering line-up of speedway, stunt show, sidecar speedway racing and celebrity races.

 

Added to that there will be the appearance of a special celebrity whose only identity at this stage is that he will be spending his summer in Germany. With the FIFA World Cup 2006 scheduled for early June, speculation amongst fans and press has been high as to who it may be. The only way to find out for certain is to make it along to Ryan’s ‘King Of the Showground’ meeting this coming Sunday with gates opening at 1pm at the East of England Showground at Peterborough. The speedway action starts at 3pm.

 

The speedway part of the entertainment will feature a four-team tournament comprising of Peterborough, Poole - Ryan’s only other British club, Great Britain and a Rest of the World side. Riders on show will include ex-World Champions and Panthers Mark Loram and Gary Havelock, Panthers favourite from 2005 Peter Karlsson and also Great Britain number one Scott Nicholls. It will also feature former Coventry and Sheffield rider Sean Wilson’s last competitive rides in the sport. Two Semi-Finals and a Final will complete proceedings for the highest scorers from the team event.

 

There will also be sidecar racing featuring some of the best stars in their field and also celebrity races on monkey bikes which will feature glamorous Sky Sports presenter Sophie Blake, former Chelsea and Charlton Athletic footballer Graham Stuart and Lite FM presenter Louise, as well as the appearance of the mystery celebrity.

Just got home from the showground. A good crowd for Ryan's testimonial and a super line up of riders. It was a four team tournament which was won by the Panthers quite comprehensively. The individual was one by Jesper who seems to be improving every meeting. NKI also showed some good speed today. Of the non Panthers riders then Bjarne Pedersen was the best. An enjoyable day for everyone with plenty of entertainment and the weather managed to hold off although it turned cold in the latter stages.

well shooting star and me thought it a very enjoyable afternoon (albeit rather chilly when the sun wasn't out) and very good value for money.

 

there was some good racing, mostly from P'boro riders once they'd missed the gate, and the race of the day had to be Jensen's last to first in the final ... fantastic ride.

 

presentation was well done, and despite the rain coming down on a couple of occasions it seemed to go very smoothly.

 

Glad for Sullivan that the meeting went ahead, and i hope he had a really good day to remember.

 

will have some pictures online soon.
