Matousek Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Well looks like the big name promised has arrived with paul cooper taking the last spot,what happened to the massive name to add numbers to the turnstile's,fair enough options may have been limited but paul cooper for christ's sake. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> im looking forward to this, and hope goes well for garry, but thats hardly a great last rider.

Cooper's pretty decent round Sheff so he probably won't look too far out of place. besides, i couldn't care less if a donkey fills the last berth, it's really not that important to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piccolo Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 When was the big name ever promised, all the lads are giving their services to Garry, as have so many good people behind the scenes. You need to take a long, hard look at yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerblues Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I think by "big names" Matty probably meant these riders that were turned away because they couldn't be fitted into the line-up, personally I think there are better riders than Cooper BUT he is not bad round Owlerton and won't be far off the pace and it is not about the riders in the line-up but raising loads of cash for an absolute legend who we owe it to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony The Tiger Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Not knocking the decision but Cooper has had terrible luck recently with machinery, would hate it if he were to take 1 ride then have to withdraw due to his machinery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanisnumber1 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Am sure we could have got Ben Wilson to ride unless want to rest him due to knocks but Coops always adds entertainment and Richard Hall will be out to impress for a team spot somewhere now!! Looking forward to it hope they have planned a race with Compo, Steady, Zorro and Lindgren in or that is the final as it would be awesome!!

Tsunami Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Well,I will be coming up for this meeting,all the way from sunny Poole.Watch out all you Northern souls that might have offended the mighty Rabbit.She will be there too!! Cant be arsed with paying out lots of money to see a GP abroad.Rather put some money into the pocket of one of our sports so called 'lesser lights'. Ive always been of fan of TEAM speedway,rather than individual glory.Garry epitomises that for me.Every team needs a 'Garry'. Wouldnt miss this for anything.Fingers crossed for good weather. See you all there on Thursday. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I will also be there as well. Where will you and the rabbit be standing. Wouldn't dare diss the rabbit.

BobC Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I will also be there as well. Where will you and the rabbit be standing. Wouldn't dare diss the rabbit. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ive no idea at the moment.I have been there plenty of times,but none of the others,Rabbit,Brendan Johnson and his friend Tom,have been to Sheffield before.Can I suggest somewhere near to Mick Gregorys track shop? I will pm you my mobile,as its always good to meet up with others,and put faces to names. We are leaving at 11am.See you later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggy Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Paul Cooper and Ben Barker are the track reserves, once the programme goes to print and another rider can't make it the reserves go in. Paul and Ben agreed to be reserves on that basis. A bit unethical I think to pass them over when they have been on the hook for a month. Hope you agree.

rabbit Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I will also be there as well. Where will you and the rabbit be standing. Wouldn't dare diss the rabbit. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wahey! Would be good to finally say hello Tsunami! As Bob says, we're leaving at 11, just hoping work don't throw up any major issues before them as I've had to sell my soul to the corporation to be allowed today off. Wouldn't miss this for the world and the good news is the weather forecast looks good. As for the line-up, don't care who's in it to be honest. Today is about one person - Garry - and it's him I'm going for not the riders in the line-up. Here's to a big crowd and a cracking meeting.

Phil Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Well I was supposed to be moving house today but managed to get it changed to tomorrow! The house has been sold for 6 months and should have moved 1 month ago and been packed since then so been a little stressed lately! Anyway really looking forward to tonight to celebrates Garry’s career and lets hope for a massive crowd to help him and his family get setup for the future. Ready Steady Go!
