Coming up from the wilds of Wiltshire for this one. Tomas has been a positive role model for speedway, just sad he's retired. Stars v Monarchs in 2009 was the first speedway meeting I had ever been to and I've loved it ever since.

Glad to see Topinka finally having a farewell meeting. Really think one should've been held last year, but I imagine what with him managing Prague in the Czech Extraliga, he may not have had a chance to think about it. I hope a few more big names are added as he deserves a big send off into his retirement. I am expecting a few ex team mates to be lined up though i.e Kevin Doolan, Olly Allen, maybe Daniel Nermark etc seeing as he raced with them for a time.

Long since packed up I believe mate, I seem to recall he was mentoring Kus a few years ago in the SWC or something. Would be great if he could come over for the meeting, like Tom he's a club legend and anyone who went to Lynn in the 90's will remember him fondly.

I seem to recall at the supporter's gathering in December it was said they wanted the Topinka meeting as early as possible for whatever reason and Friday 8th was the earliest they were allowed.

 

Perhaps the idea was to tie in with the Danes being in town? Not sure why the first two meetings aren't on Wednesdays but I guess the Fridays 15th & 22nd were out of the question for this meeting due to the Brandonapolis and the first GP.

SRBF meeting on Saturday, and Freddie Lindgren testimonial on the Sunday so hence more chance of getting visiting (from abroad ) riders after practise before the NZ GP. Think Nicki and.......

Yes fair point but really the Ben Fund Meeting is traditional opener, wonder what Paul Ackroyd thoughts are?Especially as it could impact his line up?

I think the two meetings Friday 8th and Sunday 10th will impact on the normal season starter the BEN MEETING?

 

I don't think so. What you will see is that top name riders may well appear at all 3 meetings, so enabling the 3 meetings to run in a more cost effective manner as travel costs can be reduced for the non British league regulars such as Nicki.
