Gemini Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Oh don't tempt me to reply to that. I'm still on a zero warning since I joined in 2001. Regarding dogs at speedway though I get seriously irritated by people who generalize but really have no idea....or they form an opinion because they've got a dog that's not well behaved so they're judging all of them by their own dog. Lucy just goes to sleep. Next time you're at Coventry come and wake her up and meet her. You can also see another cruelly treated dog Edward on the second bend. Thank goodness Rory isn't having his testimonial at Brandon because his dog would be there as well. Shame on you Rory's family for being so horrible to Taffy.

Speedball Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Just a quick heads up to anyone coming from the Midlands and likely to use the A1139. There's major roadworks at the end closest to the A1 with 50mph limit and average speed cameras. Don't know what's it's been like at weekends but been some hold-ups during the week. One week to go!!

steven101 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 How many riders left to name for this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy17 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 None I believe. 12 rider format, Iversen, Sayfutidnov, Bjerre, Holder, Batchelor, Doyle, Harris, Nicholls, Stead, Allen, North and Rory must be the 12th. Does the whole Visa issue effect this meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Nice to see Rory on Twitter saying he will try and keep the meeting moving and no long delays (hopefully none will be needed for accidents etc). I'd be willing to bet folk will be far happier with an efficiently tho shorter time wise run meeting than a long drawn out affair with interminable inexplicable delays. Rory seems to know what punters want and is far more tuned into the fans than most promoters . I hope the weather is kind to him and the hopefully very large crowd that his effort for this meeting and over his British career deserve. Who knows if the sun shines I might even reprise the Rory fan shuffle dance thingy taught to me by Pammie and ML many years ago (did we really used to do that ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedball Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Shame about Emil but credit to Rory for coming straight out with the news. No attempt to lead people on unlike some shared events I can think of. Still a great looking line-up. Hopefully the weather will be kind. Can't wait 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Line up and I wish it a success for rory but why couldn't these riders offer there services to the Ben fund as it would of doubled the amount of money for injured riders.

Lioness Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 why would anyone want to take a dog to speedway ? I think it's cruel Depends on the dog and any responsible dog owner can tell you that. I could never take mine as she would not have been happy with the noise but there are plenty dogs who go and love it - just like humans really. My favourite was a riders dog (no name being mentioned) who was obviously adored and loved it. Its one of my favourite pics - what you don't see is he 'followed' the entire race (which was more than I did a fair bit of that day as I couldnt take my eyes off him lol) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haza Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Always thought Emil riding in this meeting wouldn't happen - it's a shame but the show will go on . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Great photo Lioness. I wonder what happens at tracks where dogs aren't allowed like Swindon, Wolverhampton, Belle Vue, whether an exception is made when it is a riders dog who is just sitting in the van? I wish I could put photos on here like Facebook as I have some lovely ones of Molly's first meeting at Coventry when she was 9 weeks old. Bit boring though as she was curled up asleep. Lucy too when she was introduced to speedway at 9 weeks - she just went to sleep. That's the time when you find out if they're going to be okay or not - any signs of distress and they don't get taken again. Fortunately I've never had that problem with any of my dogs though.
