Silver Bee Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Really disappointed in a way. I will be there to say goodbye to an absolute legend and the reason I love speedway, however 14 riders? I can't stand testimonials/farewells meetings that have teams. I've got no affinity to either team so I don't care who wins. Means there is no atmosphere at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n4kedgardener Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Who's traveling the furthest to Marks meeting ?, My son & I are going from Barnsley S.Yorkshire, great fans of Mark from when he rode for Bradford in 1997, My son was only eight at the time but Mark has remained his favourite rider ever since. Just hope the rain stays away, cant afford another trip & overnight stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when they revealed the line up at the hotel for the new team and Mark was there all quiet and shy and hardly spoke a word. Little did I know how amazing rider he was and how a great inspiration he is. By far the greatest rider I have ever watched, but that is just me being very one sided!!!

Steve Shovlar Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 How the weather report changes in the space of a day. The forecast rain now looks to have disappeared to leave a dry overcast day! The big guy upstairs must be a Loramski fan! Rain due to arrive after 10 pm so we are good to go! I am in Exeter all day but should get there before the start of the meeting. Save me a seat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobC Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Dull but dry at the moment. Our local weather forecast is suggesting light rain before lunch,clearing early afternoon and for a sunny evening. This is my biggest meeting of the season.Supercedes any other meeting. Ive just got to say goodbye to one of,if not THE the most exciting riders to ever grace the Pirates race jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysand Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Started raining 15 mins ago in the Poole area. The forecast last night said we should expect a couple of wet bands through the day. Hopefully, it won't mess up tonight's meeting. My son can't wait to see his first meeting of the year... J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.N.T. Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hope everything goes well for Mark's Big Day as he has been a brilliant entertainer in the sport and his all action style is sadly lacking in many these days. Glad he spent one season at Monmore Green, although it didn't go great for him, it was a pleasure to see him on the good days he had there going through the smasllest of gaps and riding the boards. Hope the weather keeps off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry Silver Bee - It IS an individual. I think, at the time the names were released, there were still two to be confirmed. Oh and don't forget Mark will be doing some "noisy" laps!!

Jaysand Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 How's the weather looking in Poole? Been raining here since 10am... Very, very light drizzle at present. Hasn't properly rained for a couple of hours. Fingers crossed! J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGE9359 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Updates for the meeting will be available here but you don't want to watch those - if you can get over to Wimborne Road and support England's last world champion, the way things are going it might be a long time before someone else takes on that mantle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImpartialOne Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Strange that this hasn't been updated since 3.30. Any news on Davies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Turner Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Strange that this hasn't been updated since 3.30. Any news on Davies? Great shame to have any injury come from what looked like a good meeting to honour Mark. Unlikely to get any firm news on Alex until tomorrow. Fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
