speedwaylover18 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 who told you the 2500 crowd figure??!! We wish it had been that many. The south wales argus! Certainly looked a good crowd if it wasnt that many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoaty Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 It certainly was a good crowd. Re. the PA system, it was as poor as it has ever been yesterday on the 1st/2nd bends. Good to hear that it is going to be looked at. It was bad on the back straight yesterday, much worse than normal. I did laugh when they announced that someone was using flash photography on the second bend and could they stop it, believing that they could actually be heard there.

speedwaylover18 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 As i was leaving yesterday i heard over the tannoy something about the 17th march (correct me if i am a few days out) is this going to be our first meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P T Preece Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I have to admit I had a cracking day out got my first sniff of the year, last me another month or two, haha. Considering the weather we have had over the past month the track curator and his staff need a medal to have gotten the track racable and for it to hold up like it did was brilliant, well done that man . Enjoyed the days racing some pretty niffty moves considering, and who'd have thought Lee Smart would end up the winner eh, well done Lee. As for the catering I took a flask after queuing for the best part of 40 minutes for a cold burger a couple of years previous. The M50 closure was caused by a body being discovered and the same on the M5 too, fortunately for us we went into Micheals Wood services so we avoided the hold up and went around the back roads probably put around 30-40 minutes on the trip but better than sitting on the M5. Did wave to Peter Preece, but don't think he saw me and got a nice big hug off Shadders too. All in all a good day out and not too chilly either! sorry Jude didnt even know you were there, probably talking to the cov mates in front of us, they are not happy men at the moment.

Brummie Kev Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Well done Smarty for the win, lets hope this isnt the only thing he wins with the result of the Dudley News Sports Personality of the year up and coming. I couldnt go due to the joys of work but one question I do have is, were the New Silencers used for this meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main Man Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 As i was leaving yesterday i heard over the tannoy something about the 17th march (correct me if i am a few days out) is this going to be our first meeting? Sat March 19th is proposed date for first meeting --one week after the Ben Fund meeting at Scunthorpe on March 12th. Well done Smarty for the win, lets hope this isnt the only thing he wins with the result of the Dudley News Sports Personality of the year up and coming. I couldnt go due to the joys of work but one question I do have is, were the New Silencers used for this meeting. That was left to the rider to decide what they used. The south wales argus! Certainly looked a good crowd if it wasnt that many thanks for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dickiemint Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Re the PA system, I mentioned to Main Man last season that it was poor and he promised to look into it, so based on sunday I don't hold out hope for there to be an improvement.

As quoted elsewhere Mike Manning is due to use his expertise and check the system over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Certain people may of came all the way from Eastbourne to watch Bridger ride as hes recently re-signed for them. To come all that way to discover he is riding a 20 year old bike and messing about is not on. If I'd travelled half way up the country to watch Leigh Lanham and he was riding a 20 year old bike and basically taking the mick, I wouldn't be very happy and I should imagine 90& of this forum would feel the same. And thats the way Bridger is. After reading this im very glad we didn't sign him, and going back to Eastie thats the way his career is going to go. he has the abillity to be one of the top riders in this country, never mind Brit, With his care free attitude nobody except the Budgies will touch him with a 50 foot barge pole, the lads a total idiot. Once his career is over i hope he takes a long look at himself and say, what have i done with my career, you can all spell it as you wish!!

BigFatDave Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 And thats the way Bridger is. With his care free attitude the lad's a total idiot. Sounds like he'd fit in well DownUnder, cuz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
