Potentially a great lineup, definitely a ridiculous date. :rolleyes:

 

I did point this fact out to Gary at the Fans Forum but he seemed to think it was the only date we could fit it in and attract a decent line-up.

 

I personally think it is a faux pas holding at at a time of year when, if it does beat the weather, it will attract a much lower crowd than it deserves due to the fact that it is too early in the year and it is likely to be as cold as a fishes t*t.

Stupid date. Already the SRBF meeting at Sheffield + Dean Barkers farewell :rolleyes:

 

 

Plus the first meeting of the new era at Newport (Prince of Wales Trophy ?), although naturally, I will be Blunsdon.

 

I do agree that another date, if at all possible, would be preferable

There arent enough top riders to spread around 3 individuals. Crump will seemingly be riding round on his own at Sheffield, whilst Barkers meeting + Swindons will have such disparity between the top and bottom end of the line-ups, it doesn't seem worth going to any of them. I suppose I'll wait and see, but what looked to be 3 promising meetings, now all appear to be a disappointment.

Be interesting to see what sort of line-up they come up with. Personally I'd love to see people like Shawn McConnell, Andrew Silver and Brian Karger there, but we'll see.

 

Anyway, enough of that. Let's all find something to moan about shall we.

Sheffield will most definetly be my 1st choice on this date, doesn't matter to me who's there & who's elsewhere it's why the meeting is being held that's important.

WORLD Champion Nicki Pedersen has been confirmed at the head of a top-class line-up for Swindon's 60th anniversary celebration on March 15.

Pedersen will not be racing in the Elite League this year but has agreed to take part in the Blunsdon showpiece where he will be amongst the favourites alongside home skipper Leigh Adams.

Chris Harris, Emil Sajfutdinov and Kenneth Bjerre are three other 2009 Grand Prix riders who have accepted invitations, and there is also a strong contingent of current and former Swindon riders.

This year's team members Simon Stead, Troy Batchelor and Jurica Pavlic will be joined by ex-Robins Lee Richardson, Mads Korneliussen, Charlie Gjedde and Krzysztof Kasprzak.

Jarek Hampel, Niels-Kristian Iversen and Antonio Lindback complete the names announced so far, with one more to follow.

Robins chief Alun Rossiter said: "It really is a world-class field and we think it is a great way to start the season.

"Getting Nicki Pedersen to come here is great because he’s not riding in Britain this year.

"Hopefully, it’s a field that will get the spectators excited and we’ll have a big crowd there on the night."
