MMX Events Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Poole Pirates skipper, Davey Watt is taking centre stage tomorrow night, as he reveals plans for his testimonial meeting which takes place on 31st August at Poole Speedway. He will be speaking exclusively during a launch event on Wednesday night (9th March) at Poole Stadium’s “Champs Bar” in Wimborne Road. The returning Pirates captain will be telling fans what he has in store and is expected to announce some of the riders who have already agreed to take part, as well as what format the meeting will take, as he celebrates his ten years in British Speedway. “I am determined to give the fans a really special occasion,” says the popular Aussie; “I am well aware that I have had ten great years in the sport and the fans have helped to keep me where I am now. So I am thinking that the day is for them, as much as it is about me” “I already have a few ideas about making it a memorable night and, with so many of my mates pitching in to help me out, I know it’s going to be awesome. There is still a lot to be done but we have already made a good start and I can’t wait to let people in on some of my plans.” Watt will be appearing on Wednesday at a special evening arranged by the Poole Riders Equipment Fund committee to launch his testimonial, as well as Mark Loram’s farewell meeting later this month. The evening begins at 7.30pm and is open to members and non-members of the R.E.F. It is also planned to show the 2010 Award presentation first aired at the end of season dinner in November and which proved such a hit.

MMX Events Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) Tickets not required for the Testimonial - Payment is on the door and prices are the same as for a Poole Elite League meeting. WATT A LINE UP FOR BIG NIGHT DAVEY WATT has confirmed the testimonial line up for his special Roos v Rest of the World test at Poole Speedway on Wednesday 31st August in celebration of the Aussies ten years in British Speedway. Having already announced that track stars Jason Crump and Emil Sayfutdinov will lead the respective sides, the Poole skipper then added his popular Pirates predecessor Bjarne Pedersen, quickly followed by the news that Wimborne Road track record holder Antonio Lindback would also be in the line-up, both of whom were qualifiers at the weekend for next season's Grand Prix. Now the field has been completed we can reveal that the Aussie team will include Pirates stars Chris Holder and Darcy Ward as well as bang in form Jason Doyle in a not too unexpected side. Meanwhile, the Rest of the World have been boosted by the inclusion of Scott Nicholls and another former Pirate favourite from the 2008 Elite League winning team, Adam Skornicki. Davey will join his Roos team mates of course and is thrilled with the final squads saying that he is really looking forward to a great night out surrounded by friends and fans who have meant so much to him during his ten year UK career. ROOS Davey Watt, Jason Crump, Chris Holder, Darcy Ward, Jason Doyle, Cameron Woodward, Sam Masters REST OF THE WORLD Emil Sayfutdinov, Bjarne Pedersen, Antonio Lindback, Scott Nicholls, Tai Woffinden, Adam Skornicki, Ludvig Lindgren.

pinktuck Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Apparently Lindback not coming now but it means we get to see Hans racing in the UK again this year :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Apparently Lindback not coming now but it means we get to see Hans racing in the UK again this year :-) Is Hans doing this meeting for sure. If so i got a major problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMX Events Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Thanks Lioness - well spotted and now edited Regret to say Antonio has been released due to an unexpected family matter but delighted to say that Hans has very willingly stepped in. HANS UP FOR DAVEY’S BIG DAY FORMER Poole No 1 Hans Andersen has joined the Rest of the World team in Davey Watt’s Testimonial at Wimborne Road next Wednesday in a bold bid to put himself back in the shop window for a place in the Elite League in 2012. Andersen’s inclusion follows an agreement from Watt that Antonio Lindback could step down from his meeting after the Swede has a personal matter away from speedway. The Pirates captain and meeting organiser Watt admitted: “Antonio and I are great friends and he is desperately keen to ride, but an off track family matter has forced a clash of dates. “Antonio was still prepared to ride instead, but I have persuaded him that his priority is to his family. “He was very keen to come back to England, so is naturally very disappointed, but I feel a lot more content that he will be attending a very important family matter next Wednesday.” The addition of Andersen gives the Rest of the World team a cutting edge and Watt is delighted to see Hans back at Wimborne Road. Watt added: “The absence of Hans in this season’s Elite League has been all the poorer. The guy is a genuine world class performer and I am aware he is still held in great esteem by Poole fans. “Knowing Hans, he will be keen to show that British speedway has been missing this year. I would like to thank him for jumping at the chance of riding in my meeting.” Watt is focussed on making the occasion as enjoyable as possible for all concerned. There will be the inevitable element of fun too as the rider’s mechanics will have the chance to compete against each other in a round of “pit bike” races guaranteed to generate a competitive spirit! And to round off the night, heat 15 will feature the top riders from each team going all out for some special prizes as well as those all important points.
