P T Preece Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 I cant find a topic for this, but Im thinking of coming, weather permitting, what time do the doors open and how big a crowd do they get. A long time since Ive been to a pairs event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P T Preece Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 So nobody knows then, at last something on the BSF nobody has an answer too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 The meeting starts at 3-30pm so the gates would be open probably between an hour and two hours before that. .Big free car park in adjacent field...There should be a big crowd but there is plenty of room and a catering unit which is popular good fish and chips ,plus a bar You will need to bring your own seat if required,,,The track has a very good atmosphere,, but the home crowd are very biased to their own riders.. So plenty of verbal support and ref condemnation when things dont go their way. I now await the flack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiseguy Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I've never understood why, that on a weekend fixture, they don't start earlier It's definitely a match I would be interested in attending with my kids, but with it probably not finishing til gone 6, then a 3 hour drive home my kids would be to late getting back as they have school next day Its not like Mildenhall is central to many, why not have tapes up at 2pm? And allow a few extra travelling supporters to attend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P T Preece Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Thanks for all that information Waco, but I have been before, its the pairs I havent seen, and you have the best fish and chips, starting to look forward to it so will probably start off early.

Damo b Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Home fans biased towards their own riders ! Of course they are! Watch any football match or any sport, home support is always going to back the home team or sportsman, given the chance. In fact home or away, you are going to be one sided towards your team. Hopefully this shouldn't spoil the afternoon! Edited June 13, 2014 by Damo b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Stummings Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Making the journey up the M11 soon to watch the NL Pairs. Really is open as to who is likely to win. I guess Mildenhall will probably be slight favourites as it's being held on their own track. Let's hope for a good meeting, one thing for certain is it's presentation will be first class unlike Rye House! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner47 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Decent meeting, plenty of passing. Just a shame that one semi was much stronger so the best 4 teams didn't end up in the final, but nobody could be blamed for that. Well done to Stoke, excellent team riding to keep Dan Halsey at the back in the last race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a shame that one semi was much stronger so the best 4 teams didn't end up in the final, but nobody could be blamed for that. Well done to Stoke, excellent team riding to keep Dan Halsey at the back in the last race. Â It was Buxton that team rode Danny Halsey into last place (although I agree it was excellent team riding). Â Very entertaining meeting with the highlight surely John Armstrong's stunning move through the middle of the Atkin/Carr pairing. Anyone who considers NL racing inferior should take a look at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen1984 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Well done Stoke.what a awful meeting thou suprised the favourites mildy didn't win this one. Such a shame all top riders wasn't able to ride in this. Should be made to ride in it over any other meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldy Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Was it a good meeting or not?? Seem to have two extremes with "entertaining" from Halifax and "awful" from Heathen.?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I am not sure what meeting he was at, because it wasn't the one at Mildenhall. Â Armstrong's stunning ride to pass Atkin & Carr was worth the entrance fee by itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Thanks for pointing out my deliberate mistake, couldn't be bothered with a programme, especially when there was so many changes, I'd have spent half the afternoon writing instead of enjoying myself. I think the only fans who reckoned it was a poor meeting would be the ones from the black Country, everybody I spoke to enjoyed it.

Heathen1984 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 It wasn't a good meeting. Lot of poor teams and you could predict the race outcome before the start of it taking nothin away from Stoke thou. Best pairing on show and deserved to win it. Big well done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Central Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Well done to Ben and Jon on a great win. Sounds like it was a good meeting depending on who you listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
