Shadders Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Aggro at foxhall lol, did locals threaten to cut you down with their scythes?? Or chase you round a field in their tractors?? One particular fella got very annoyed when I took acception to his cheering when a Rye rider (Jason Bunyan I think) had a fall. In fact, most, if not all of the confrontations I've had at various tracks have been for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had the same at Ippo, but obviously mine was a Panthers rider, was cheering when they fell and literally hurling abuse left right and centre? Think it was the normal first/second bend Chris Louis barmy army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pob Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 The Scotsman was Cheering Booing and all other stuff the other week when Edinburgh came visiting to Foxhall and it didn't bother us lot on the back straight ,that was when he wasn't on the phone to some dodgy Monarchs chat zone after each race !!! Shads don't worry about the Bend 1-2 come to the back straight we welcome all . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Apologies lads, that should never happen at any speedway meeting, so its embarrassing that it happened at the track that I would classify as home for most of my speedway viewing career. There are some strange people in Ipswich so I guess if it is going to happen anywhere it is likely to happen at Foxhall. Would imagine that if it's the same guy the chances that he is in attendance still would be remote as it is usually associated with a win at all costs mentality.

Shads don't worry about the Bend 1-2 come to the back straight we welcome all . Shads will have me as protection (not that he needs it) on Thursday Pob. Maybe the 12 of us can get a bit of atmosphere back in the old girl on Thursday, though we will probably get disapproving looks from the resident zombie knitting club - that's zombies who knit, not people who knit zombies, I think.... Not any party toys left in my collection, so it may have to be an old fashioned war cry competition, though with Bruv of bruv's megaphone skills already practiced and honed, the two of us may be at a disadvantage, Maybe I can cram some blue balls up his loud hailer when he is not looking....?

Pob Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Hopefully our stand will be open again this week after we had to venue into the Zombie knitting club stand last time around . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Could be interesting off track if not on it on Thursday, definitely looking forward to some banter and driving away the boring fuddy duddies from our little zone which should be open again. (they had the world hot rod championship there at the weekend) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Banter bus should arrive at about 6:45 this Thursday as I am setting my alarm an hour early to make sure that I do not miss another Heat 1. From the pics in yesterday's Star, the crowd looked pretty healthy for the World Hot Rod Championships Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Any chance the 2nd bend food hut might be open again? It was closed my past 2 visits. Don't want to have to overdose on just pick n mix!
