Genesis Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Excellent crowd turned out for Davey so in that respect a huge success. The racing was a bit boring. As with Testimnials you never get the edge or atmosphere of a league meeting and the track tonight was slightly underwatered. End of thwe day it was what it said on the tin and Davey gets a fat cheque. Cannot fault anything you say Steve, just felt charging full League meeting admission was more than a little strong! Nice guy as I said and maybe I am the minority voice, but £35 inc programme for no racing felt like a bit of a liberty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of thwe day it was what it said on the tin and Davey gets a fat cheque. thats the thing about testimonials and benefit meetings though - I never expect any 'racing' at them, its more about showing appreciation really although I appreciate these guys put a lot of work into getting an entertaining package together. (and Mrs P if you are reading I *still* appreciate Stefan in his undies only at Shanes testimonial lol) I hope Davey enjoyed it and as you say Steve, gets the big fat cheque. Any results and stories from the night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinktuck Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 An enjoyable evening and a few good races as well, although how Cameron stayed on in heat 2 or Hans in heat 10 I don't know! Great to see Crumpy and Hans racing in UK again and with some great racers we don't get to see every week along with some home favourites all in all a fun night. Think the pit bike races in the interval might have been more entertaining if Noddy's bike hadn't packed up, hence the long delay. I actually enjoyed watching races when I didn't mind who won them, made me realise how tense I get during league meeting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOT Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 First visit too Poole and had a good night, as was said not alot of great races but a few scary moments with the likes of woodward etc.I didnt mind paying the entrance fee or paying £2.50 for the programme at the end of the day money was for Davy Watt and to my mind was worth every penny. Hope to do Poole again sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Was there a DVD done of daisy's meeting? I do like his testy shirts though, wasn't allowed to wear mine till the meeting had been done. I was lucky enough to get mine the week before the meeting.
