Reviresco Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) I thought that the provisional Semi Final dates had been decided as: Somerset home leg (1): Friday 7th October Ipswich home leg (2): Thursday 13th October but not sure where I got that from, possibly BBC Radio Suffolk. Is anyone thinking of going on Friday? I've looked at train (£138), plane (£98) and boat (sunk without trace), so am thinking of driving up, but would hate to be there if Monarchs get those 15 x 4-2's. Scotty, I am guessing that Armadale is a hike both from the airport and the train station? Friday / Saturday travel and accommodation is always more expensive than midweek too. Been looking at a nice little Guest House at Burnham on Sea too, but don't want to tempt fate, lol. EDIT: I understand there is a big four wheeled event at Foxhall on Saturday 8th, so that would knock out a speedway meeting on Thursday 6th too.

TheScotsman Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 1.3 miles from Armadale station. Then a taxi ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) Thanks brother from another mother. EDIT: I see that Ryan Fisher has announced his retirement from British speedway from the end of this season.

Baldyman Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 If we complete the deal against the monarchs, looking forward to the next home meeting, maybe this time I will look out more for the new arrivals to our group and greet them in person. Maybe a few more new ones to come as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviresco Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Half a dozen new members, who sit elsewhere usually, said they will move to Massif End and at least ten people who do not go regularly have shown an intent to come along and sit with the Massif, having been told about what we are doing. But one regular will be missing if the PLPO Semi home leg is on the 13th unfortunately, and a new supply of woodwind and percussion instruments plus props for zombie killing (and of course varied balloons) will need to be collected from IP2 for the Massif to use and enjoy and of course - Make Some Noiz for the Boiz. One of the West Ham crew is on alert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviresco Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) Is Jim and your brother still joining us macca? Just because you won't be there..they are still more than welcome to keep joining us.Yep my brother (Big Macca) is coming along again and Jim and his mate will be a permanent fixture now and will hopefully have the "Make Some Noise" stickers ready by then, too (wink). EDIT: To say, I guess we will all be making a noise during the meeting tomorrow. They should hear us from Armadale, lol. I am surprised that the Club hasn't yet announced its intention to stream the meeting live to a big screen on the Heath....

That's modern Technology your taking about there Macca , something that speedway knows nothing about sadly to say . Its a shame as if there was some sort of internet service where set up as a pay per view it would be great . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) Hopefully if everything goes to plan, my cousin will be coming over from south Africa that week and I'm hoping to bring him to his first ever speedway meeting. Back home he is a bit of a sporting personality in his own right. He plays for the fairies, otherwise known as the jozi cats Edited September 29, 2016 by baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Always good to meet new people - sometimes you just get on like youve known them for a while... Couldn't agree more, it's like we are meeting a long lost brother for the first time What soccer players term as an egg chaser then? Also often known as a shirt lifter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
