Gavan Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hope PK gets the support he deserves for a truly wonderful career and an asset to British Speedway. Being an Ipswich fan never saw him ride much live to be honest but undoubtedly deserves a great day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 PK talking about his career : ' I've got so much to thank British Speedway for...........' It's the other way round Peter. When others were treating it as a plaything to be used as and when it's convenient for them you were always there. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes. The meeting when Wolfie used a track rake to write SAM in giant letters in the snow on the centre green. I've very nearly thawed out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 One thing that bores me with these meetings is the drip feed news of those riders taking part that are 100% predictable. Yesterday it was Freddie Lindgren, what a surprise. If we get Pedersen, Emil, Tai or some of the top Poles then fair enough. Its bigger news to see them but not Wolverhampton riders. When do we get breaking news about Masters and Wells ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do we get breaking news about Masters and Wells ?. Which is exactly why I left the Lindgren thing out of my post above yours All home riders are included in all early season meetings such as this to shakedown the machinery, human and mechanical. It ain't news. Edited January 11, 2017 by Wolfsbane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Get Sudden Sam on a bike, plus Mikael who deserves some sort of farewell too. Also be nice to see Ronnie Correy involved. Those four were part of a great era for the club. It would also be nice if Tai took part given the close links he has with PK.

Fourentee Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 It would also be nice if Tai took part given the close links he has with PK. Logically (and I have no idea either way if it's happening) that should be one with a bit of a build-up beforehand and then the announcement for maximum impact.

The Voice Of Reason Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I can't think of any other modern-day rider whereby I'd even consider attending their testimonial. However, I will deem it an absolute privilege to support this event. In a World where the term 'Legend' is so often wrongly overused, I can't think of a more fitting, nor apt, word to associate against Peter Karlsson. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How true PK is a Legend as he is the epitome of a team player /rider in what is deemed to be a team sport but ridden by individuals in many cases .We really won't see the "like" of him again ,he has been part of league racing at the highest level in this country for 25yrs plus and almost an impossible void to fill .

full-throttle Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 the few riders announced to date don't excite me but I'm going to this to thank a rider who has given more than half his life to the sport, even if it was with those pesky wolves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Nicki and Emil would be a good pairing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 It's understandable of course but the latest announcement is Magnus Karlsson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 It's good to see some fans of other clubs commenting on the service PK has given to British Speedway. I am still pretty disgusted at the reaction, or lack thereof, to him after he completed his final race at Monmore in the Olympique, a lap of honour (after winning from the back) with his helmet off and WELL over 50% of the crowd stood in absolute silence, couldn't even raise themselves to applaud nor even raise a hand. I commented on the night that I am not sure how they could call themselves 'fans' of Wolverhampton Speedway. I hope plenty of fans come from other clubs to swell the attendance as I know many Wolves 'fans' won't bother to attend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
