Due to changes in plans I'm going - good to catch up with a few people. Not always the best speedway, but I'm not expecting a GP Final!

 

And I thought Smoli is the reigning Champ?

Would have thought that former winner Graham Jones would have been offered a place in this .... he certainly lives close enough and even today would be among the favourites

Looking forward to this, at the end the day its just a bit of fun and its not all about the line-up. Someone like Tony Atkin is ideal for Telford with his experince on Ice and the fact in paired up with Eddie Kennett to the pairs wins in 2007 and 2008. You want riders that know what they are doing on ice and can entertain the crowd, so in that regard its a good line-up. The defending Brits Open Champion Martin Smolinski is back to defend that so It should be a good fun day. A chance to catch up with other fans and enjoy the smell and noise, thats why I enjoy indoor events. :D

 

Telford is such a nice place, with a very good shopping centre, parks and plenty of places to eat. This year in the International Centre right near the Ice Rink theres a Classic Off Road and Road Racing show between 10 and 3.30pm, Adults £10, Kids go free. Links about it below.

I'm going, though to be honest if I had not already paid for the tickets I wouldn't be bothering. I am pretty down on speedway at the moment to be honest, the missus says she is not going even though she has a ticket, so I will probably have one spare if anyone wants it.

 

Regards, Martin

Is there anyone going to this meeting who would be able to share texting duties with another? If so, could you please either leave a message here or send me an email or pm.

 

Thanks

Just got back, it was just ok, didnt bother getting evening ticket, first half entertainment was barker coming out giving it some riding up to the tapes for his first race and looking a plonker in every race. martin and eddie were great entertainment, the first part was enough, think each race should of been 6 laps, would i go again next year, No but i did enjoy it for what it was today.

Was a laugh, as it always is. Nothing massively serious, and lots of laughs.

 

As for the individual meeting, Atkin was a deserved winner, and you could tell how much it meant to him!

A very long but fun day out.Left home at 8am and back home at 2am.

 

1st time back at Telford for over 10 years.Great to meet up with so many friends.From Plymouth to Berwick and most places in between.

 

Well done to Tony Atkin for his win,thoroughly deserved.

 

Loved Smoli and friends for their entertainment before and after races.They were clearly having fun.

 

Now,can we PLEASE get on with the 'real' thing?

 

Hope to see a lot of folk at Scunny for the Benfund meeting.

Agreed. It isn't for the purists but the smell is good and the meeting with friends is the bestest xx.

 

Tony really wanted the win. And Martin in 2nd place (only dropping a point to Tony) was a good result.

Eddie came out a gave it his all - some good and not so good races - but had me peeking out from behind my programme at times as he seemed to be to fast, scary stuff!.

And Ben, I think he was missing the shale!!

 

Good day overall, but as Bob says - lets get the real thing moving.
