Crouch Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Former founding shareholder, Pete Redfern, will have a meeting dedicated to him on the Isle of Wight on Tuesday 25th September. Pete was a Promoter at both Rye House and Oxford, Craig Boyce's first ever sponsor, and has been instrumental in helping many young Riders starting off their careers. To try out some new talent, and provide a completely unpredictable nights Speedway, a challenge match has been devised. We have 2 Team Managers on the Island, Martin Newnham and myself. Martin runs the Home meetings and I run the Aways. We will therefore be running as the HOME side, Martins Mad Dogs and the AWAY Team will be Crouchers Cougars. Team Managers will be appointed by the Team Sponsors who are Osborne Garage and Acorn Care Service. Riders to have accepted invitations so far include: Cory Gathercole Casper Wortman Krys Stojanowski James Holder Robert Mear Andy Bargh Glen Phillips Jesper Christiansen Chris Johnson Sam Martin Terry Day Dan Halsey Teams will be drawn by ballot from the list above - so no favoritism Members of Pete's family will be there along with former Islanders Captains, Ray Morton and Craig Boyce. We have also been promised the company of another great mate of Pete's, Lord Bernard Crapper of Oxford provided he can stay off the Whisky that day All of you who knew Pete, please come along and enjoy an evening that Pete would have been proud of, and say a thank you to a hard working Speedway character who was one of the great givers to the sport. Those of you who didn't know Pete, just come along and enjoy a different nights Speedway and see how some of the new kids go around the 385 Mtr Track at Smallbrook that has provided such great racing again this year. Look forward to seeing you. # Name Removed #. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joni Keskinen Robert Mear Cory Gathercole Patrick Hougaard James Holder Casper Wortman Glen Phillips Sam Martin Krys Stojanowski Tero Aarnio Andy Bargh Jesper Christiansen Chris Johnson Terry Day Sam Hurst Dan Halsey A very unpredictable meeting is in store. 14 of the above Riders will be split into two 7 man Teams for a full 15 Heat Challenge Match. Should be a good night. Crouch. Edited September 22, 2007 by Crouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Rogers Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Bit of a varied line-up there Crouch, but looking forward to seeing some fair and honest speedway for a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouch Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Bit of a varied line-up there Crouch, but looking forward to seeing some fair and honest speedway for a change <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I get the point , it will at the very least be fair and honest. The whole point is to use some of our lads as yardsticks to gauge the new lads, hence the wide difference in experience and ability. We might just find ourselves with an out and out Superstar on the night, in which case the Pens will be out before the ferry sails to get a signature on a contract. We will see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done the best I could with only a fortnight to get it all put into place. That includes FIM inscription, Sposorship and having Race Jackets made. I am sure Pete would have understood.

NJT Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) Tero Aarnio looked impressive in his second half rides at Plymouth last night. Edited September 22, 2007 by NJT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarface Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Can we use season tickets tonight or not ? If not, how much are admission prices ? I think its a good idea having this sort of meeting to look at future riders, and sign them up if they are any good. Thanks alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-s-p Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Another meeting where Aarnio should be challenging for the win behind Hougaard. I have to admit though that I havent seen half of these riders, just judging by results I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
