oldtimer Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 It's a shame they're starting this meting 30 minutes early Would have been there otherwise. Get there 30mins late, you won't miss much and you will never get to see the Russian for £13 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Emil Sayfutdinov will be riding at Somerset on Friday 19 March. What a scoop for a Premier League track, Crumpie and the Russian. Obviously Emil looked at all the tracks in Britain, Elite and Premier and decided the Oak Tree Arena was the best to make his British debut. The only time you will see these two riders for only £13.

The only time you will see these two riders for only £13. Even though Crump and Emil are at Swindon the night before (possibly for a higher price) Emil has also previously rode in Britain anyway I remember him in blue and yellow kevlars back down at Rye for World Under 21's even if this wasn't his first meeting. Still a massive coup yes Edited March 9, 2010 by ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Get there 30mins late, you won't miss much and you will never get to see the Russian for £13 again.It'll be bearer 45-60 minutes late though. I won't be leaving the Midlands until 5pm, with a 7.30 start I'd risk it, with the 7pm start it's just never going to happen. Even though Crump and Emil are at Swindon the night before (possibly for a higher price) Emil has also previously rode in Britain anyway I remember him in blue and yellow kevlars back down at Rye for World Under 21's even if this wasn't his first meeting. Still a massive coup yes He's also raced at Cardiff and Coventry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Ain't that the right attitude then Blazeaway? He'll be on tv every fortnight once the old GP series starts anyways, probably giving 100% more effort than he will at Somerset!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight_Lady Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Getting in a little practice is he, bully for him!! A bit harsh. What has he ever done to you apart from being part of the GP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight_Lady Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Can't be arsed/doesn't need to race in our lowly league of course! I think it's great that one of the world's best riders lines up in such a meeting. Well done to Somerset. It gives the fans an opportunity to see him, one they wouldn't have if they don't travel to the GPs. Would you be saying the same if he appeared at KL?

Trees Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) Would you be saying the same if he appeared at KL? Yes probably. Of course the promoters are gonna use him if at all possible to pull in a bigger crowd ..................... maybe I sometimes think that perhaps they should give the boys who want to/are committed to racing over here the season these extra meetings though instead of those who can't possibly fit our insignificant speedway league into their schedule!

That's right, get a lineup full of riders who are going to coming to the OTA in a few weeks time with their British team, what an exciting thought that is If I wasn't to attend Cardiff this year, it's very unlikely I'll see Hans Andersen, Jason Crump, Emil Sayfutdinov other than on Sky, aswell as the likes of Ulamek, Walasek, Richardson, Simota etc. That's the attraction to these meetings, having names you don't normally see week in, week out. Not only that, but you need more than just one big name to make a competition of it. Any one of Andersen, Crump, Sayfutdinov, Richardson (although he was naff the last time he raced at the OTA!), Ulamek or Walasek, plus many more could win this - it's wide open.

I don't care who they have, I'm not going anyway, just making a point that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajh Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Great field assembled by the Somerset promotion. All credit to them for doing so and especially for keeping the admission price the same That's the kind of calibre riders the Pride of the East used to attract in it's heyday. Sadly missed from the KL fixture list IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
