Stokie052 Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Blimey I do remember some bird smiling at me....I thought to myself either my flies are open or she's just farted.......sorry I didn't recognise you. Next time buy me a pint & I promise I'll smile back at you. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes mate she'd just farted... and she only usually smiles when she's got wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The SAINT Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Oi,watch it you! Where else do you get a taxi drver who gives you a tour of the City,an education on Yorkshires finest footie team,and a memorable speedway occasion all in one day? That rocket fuel we had is still working! I genuinely enjoyed the whole day. Last night at Somerset,I met up with David Hoggart.He is thrilled with the responses on here,and even though a close friend of Garry,he couldnt believe how well Garry coped with the evening.Hoggy also gave me in insight from the moment of the crash right up to almost dragging Garry away from the stadium. Its a heart warming tale of tragedy and triumph.Makes you feel very humble,yet also very proud of the way our speedway 'family' pull together at times like this.I am already looking at going along to Stoke for their benefit meeting. After seeing and listening to Garry,I dont think I will be able wollow in self pity ever again. Truly inspiring. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> top post(top sentiments)!top blokes (garry and hoggy) and top footy team (in england!).glad you enjoyed our city,pity it was such a sad occasion.

horneymikh Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Steady is simply inspirational, and as someone else has said, how can you wallow in self pity after meeting the guy? That was also some of the best racing I have ever seen at Sheffield, admittedly I cannot get there too often though. Complin was simply superb and must now be one f the hottest signatures for next season, I just hope its on a Stoke contract. Hope Richard Hall and Moggo are feeling better soon!

micro Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Brilliant post Mr C, almost had me back in tears again. Didn't get chance to come on here before the meeting so missed the perfect opportunity to meet other forum members! Never mind. Glad to hear that Richard Hall and Moggo are both pretty much ok, both of them could have been much worse off, but let's not dwell on that. Truely amazing final race, and as others have mentioned, worth the entrance fee alone. I'm a season ticket holder at Sheffield, but this is one meeting i didn't mind having to pay for. All the best for Garry, hope it gave you a boost to get through the next months and congratulations to Lee Complin on a fantastic win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Yes it's on tonight but it's MOTORS TV not Eurosport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieR Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 The DVD has much more coverage & is great value at £20 for 2 DVD's with 4 hours of coverage. We are in the process of getting them to as many trackshops as possible before the end of season, or they can be ordered by post. They will be available from myself in the lower bar at Wolves tomorrow, Redcar, Newcastle, Rye House, Peterborough & Birmingham later this week. We are still making plans to get them to the rest of the tracks that still have meetings left.

M08 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Very good. I enjoyed that. Would've posted after I watched it last night - but I was rather sleepy no, I'm not saying it was boring BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I will be buying the dvd as i run a speedway club at work and have played all my dvds and need more. I came to Sheffield but it was great re watching the meeting. Good luck to Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieR Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Arrangements are being made to get the DVD to as many track shops as we can, so far it should be on sale at Stoke, Sheffield, Newcastle, Redcar, Workington, Mildenhall, Coventry, Wolves, Birmingham, Petererborough & Rye House by their next home meetings. Also any other tracks Nick Barber covers as well. Cost is £20, however thats for a double DVD with 4 hours of entertainment, and all monies go to Garry's Benefit Fund to aid his re-habilitation.
