spin king Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 The thing about WJM, that you all have to learn is that with certain clubs he will jump on the bandwagon when ever says anything against that club, he will go on and on, until he has the last word, challenge him and he won't answer your question generally, if you do the same he will not shut up, in fact he should try a career in politics he would go far. If you do what I do, ignore his comments most of the time then he might just go away quietly, but get into an agruement is not worth it.

speedwaysquashman Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 First chance ive had to post on the meeting. I enjoyed the day and think the idea of a regular meeting for the benevolent fund is a great idea, however my impression of the day was that it was WAY too long. The flood of people leaving the minute the 2nd place result was announced bears out testimony that i wasnt the only one. Nearly 3 hrs for a speedway meeting is , in my opinion, way too long. I like the Sheffield track - its fast and can lead to some good racing. There were several heats that offered some heart stopping moments and was worth the admission fee alone. However the padding of 4 extra races for the youngsters and the 3 old timers heats were too many in my opinion. maybe the format needs tinkering a bit as some of the heats on Sunday were spread out and lacked much enthusiasm. Good to see Briggo, freddie Williiams and Bert going round on bikes. The injured riders present was exactly what the meeting was about - i thank each and every one for coming along. Woffy was superb and always had the best reception on the terraces. What a pleasure, as a wolves fan, to watch this lad develop. Adams as expected was classy along with crump. Our freddie started well but faded a little. Our UK number one Mr Nicholls, who has left England behind to better himself in the GP`s looked awful and either wasnt bothering or was completely outclassed. I think it was the later. Where as the likes of Crump will be challenging for the crown again - on this showing Nicholls will struggle to make the top ten. Anyway glad you have your priorities right Scott. Watt was a little hit and miss. Kennett was pretty poor Barker was very impressive and his battle with Woff was superb. Ashworth strutted his stuff as top Tiger compton was very up and down given his tigers legend status. Doolan did very little. Sitera tried hard to impress. also rans - nieminen, lyons and hall. Special mention for Auty who should have been pointless in a field like this but battled away with reward, particularly in his last 2 heats. Have to disagree, meeting was not too long and the blend of the two other formats of past and future made it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
