Early Season Fireworks


Recommended Posts

Birmingham's Alan Hunt Memorial Trophy meeting sounds like it could be good fun.

 

FIRSTLY - Former Brumme and 48 year young - Shawn McConnell has been confirmed in the line up. Anyone who saw him at Brighton and last year at the Denny Pyeatt Memorial at Reading will testify that he is nowhere near over the hill yet. He is the only Brummie from our past era to be still riding, and we as Brummies fans will welcome him back for sure.

 

SECONDLY - Ulrich Ostergaard will be there. Er, probably. It is a Sunday fixture after all. (a witty wag on the Brummies Forum suggested that the Brummies fans should stay at home that Sunday to concentrate on their painting and decorating of their homes, in tribute to Ully!)

 

Yay! 16th March - can't wait.

I was thinking the same - same day as Nick Simmons Testimonial. Nick has ridden for Stoke, Newport, Exeter and Isle of Wight so he might get a good representative from those clubs coming to see him. Great line up for his meeting too, hopefully they will both do well.

Certainly cant wait till this meeting, be good to see ulrich back even if its only one meeting. I think it was great that ulrich contacted graham drury to ask if he would be able to ride.

would be the perfect slap in GD's face if UO's front door "unexpectedly" just needed an extra layer of gloss on it.

Choices!  Go and see Shawn McConnell or the top stars at Nick Simmons testimonial!!  I wanted to see Shawn last year at reading but couldn't make it and it looks like the same might happen again :(

Oh, sorry, I forgot that all the "top stars" have chosen to ride the Newport track. Won't be anyone left for Birmingham. You'd best go there then.

 

Us Brummies fans will just have to make do with this years Brummies team and assorted Brummies rejects and "Old Brummians".

Someone obviousbly wasn't no good at maths at school :rolleyes:

 

Ok so explain how will it reduce crowds at both venues,if people don't go to Newport because of the meeting at Birmingham then that will reduce Newport's crowds,or the same could happen the other way,so one track might suffer yes,but how will both?

Because I would want to go to both. lets assume 1 other person wants to go to both, I then go to Nicks meeting and he goes to the Brum meeting, so both meetings now have 1 less fan than if they had not clashed :P

And there'll come a Saturday in the season when you and your mystery friend will want to go to Rye House AND Stoke, but can only go to one of them. Choices choices...Shall we re-work the entire fixtue list just to suit you?

Whast more likely is I want to see Edinburgh and Stoke at Somerset this season. But Somersets race nigt clashes with Coventrys, so I'm hoping them meeting are on a GP weekend, or even that Edinburgh go there on an off night :approve::D

 

If someone would like to arrange that, I'd be most grateful :D
