Silver Bee Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Don't like Watt but that's no bad thing. If I was Stead I'd be telling Poland to get stuffed for a meeting like this, but each to their own and I don't know the circumstances.

Grachan Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hmmm. Seeing Stead round Owlerton again was one of the reasons I was thinking of going. Not so sure now, although might still be worth it with Adams and Crump there. Oh, what to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not very often these days and was looking forward to him . Will still be there tho' - Good cause and also a nice array of riders for us Premier League watches that dont see these too very often.

spin king Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Shame Simon will not be there as he is a joy to watch around Sheffield, Davey Watt should be a worthy replacement though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squall Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Davey was one of the few who beat Sean Wilson round Owlerton (during the PL era) so should be a good replacement By beat i mean Sean didn't fall, EF, etc Which reminds me, i'd love to see Charlie Gjedde at Sheffield again. When he came in PL he beat Sean twice from 3 meets, the one he lost he EF'd on bend 3, lap 4 when leading! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEEG Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) I just wanted to put a note on the forum wishing everyone the best of luck with Sunday's meeting. Sadly I can't make it, but I sincerely hope a big crowd turns out for this more than worthy cause. Having read the pieces in this week's Star with Wilko Garry Stead and Lol Hare, I feel truly humbled and moved, that guys like them who've paid such a price to entertain us still bear no grudge towards the sport we all love. I know it's an old chestnut, and I would never want to stifle debate and opinion on a forum like this, but maybe sometimes before people bicker and snipe at each other and at some riders we could stop and remember what these guys risk to entertain us and keep our great sport alive. End of sermon maybe I'm turning into the priest my mum would have loved me to be !!! PS: Can i resist the lure of King's Lynn/Ipswich and wait for the mighty Bog Moggies to start on April 12th could be difficult starting to twitch a bit ..... !!!

Tigerblade Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Don't like Watt but that's no bad thing. If I was Stead I'd be telling Poland to get stuffed for a meeting like this, but each to their own and I don't know the circumstances. He might not have any choice in the matter - it could mean a future ban for all we know. Hopefully it will be a good one for all concerned.
