E I Addio Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 I hope the fans come out in force for this meeting. PK has been a good servant to British speedway and deserves a big send off. No Woffinden though. Very strange and one would have thought he would have gone out of his way to make sure he was there for his team mate, and to add to the attendance. But should we really be suprised he isn't there? We shouldn't be too quick to be judgmental about Tai. It might be that there are contractual reasons to do with sponsors that prevent him riding in this type of meeting. A similar situation prevented Nicki Pedersen from riding at the Lee Richardson memorial meeting. He came to the track to give his support but for contractual reasons wasn't allowed to ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCOGNITO Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Sadly can't get there on Sunday and wondered if the programme can be bought on line after perhaps ? He has a link on the Favebook page for the event that allows you to buy online. I hope the fans come out in force for this meeting.

Would you cancel your holiday or honeymoon which was booked last year before this event was given a date ? If you don't know why a rider isn't there, don't guess but as you want to let's ask why when PK spent seasons at Lakeside, Belle Vue, Kings Lynn and Peterborough why there is no mention of Cook or Chapman etc there today ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holiday or honeymoon? Reading Woffindens twitter he has been riding his bikes doing some testing. Strange thing to do on honeymoon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customhouseregular Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I see the name Sam Hagon in the junior races. Any relation to the one-time west Ham rider Alf Hagon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfsbane Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 According to someone on updates Woffinden's riding in PK's meetings in Sweden & Poland. True or not? No idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

full-throttle Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Great turn out, and a very emotional PK on the microphone after his last lap of the Green Thanks for the memories 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Science Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Not happy with a professional earning money ? No problem at all but lets not trot out the excuse that Woffinden is not at his GP mentors farewell meeting due to contractual issues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in print last week saying he is looking forward to riding in PK's Polish testimonial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
