Guest GiveusaB Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Sounds like a good way to start the season. Looking forward to hearing from the 'impressionable' Lee Kilby, whom I believe has been a breath of fresh for the Club! Will also be great to hear Mr Rogers talk about the 'youth' and future/way forward for the club/team? Hope 'our' fans can come up with some interesting and informative questions and 'not' all the 'dumb/obvious' that sometimes dominates evenings like this!? I don't think our backroom team will be able to help anybody that needs a 'passport' quickly though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Always tricky on these kind of evenings as most of the questions fans want to know won't be directly answered. When will the number 7 finally get their paperwork sorted? Has anyone sponsored the race suits yet? Is Callum Walker contracted to go everywhere Rogers does? Rather than can this team win the league etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argos Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Must say surprised Mr Mason senior will not be in attendance if is Son is unavailable, It’s the new Promoters first opportunity to inform the supporters there vision for the club but none of the Promoters will be in attendance, Main Man is only the Team Manager so he really doesn’t know what’s going on behind the senes, and the Commercial Manager will only have updates on Sponsorship, Not the best of starts for the new Promoters, hope Mr Mason senior makes the effort to attend, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an event, and it has an admission charge. What's wrong with that? If that £2 in your pocket is worth more to you than getting out from behind your keyboard, then stick to BSF. You have that luxury. On the other hand, if you want to meet the guests, or other fans, have a night out, and maybe a pint or two, then go along. £2 is cheaper than the bus fare that you'll pay to get there...or do you complain on public transport forums about bus fares too? It's staged by the Supporters Club, who if they raise money out of it, do so in a way that proves informative and entertaining to those who attend, and which goes towards supporting the riders, who have benefited to the tune of several thousands of £££ over the years from the supporters club. The petty nature of your post does you no credit at all. I had a higher opinion of you than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Got out of bed the silly side this morning and the post was meant in jest nothing more or less. Supporters clubs do a lot of good work and I applaud all those involved 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 New signing announced Not quite sure why it's on Facebook before it's on the official web site, but hey ho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Have to admit ive never heard of Rachel Hellowell does anybody know much about her / her amateur track successes? Definitely a positive for the team & the sport in general to offer more diverse opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure but I think she is Luke Chessell's girlfriend, she used to do second halves at Sheffield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Fan Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I cannot recall any girl reaching the speeds necessary to hold down a team place in any team at any level. So I cannot help but think this signing is a good publicity gesture. I hope that Rachel proves me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some young ladies "mixing it" with other youngsters in Gustrow (Germany) on my visits there last year and the year before. Proof that if they are strong and talented enough, they can wipe some smug smiles off some chauvanists faces. Worth remembering that Lisa Kelly off Ice Road Truckers was a State Freestyle Motorcross champion in her youth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrina Bogh was probably the best female rider of the modern era.She was Danish Junior Champion and made it through to the European Junior Final https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_Individual_Speedway_Junior_European_Championship I have seen a few females in Danish teams at a few levels.80cc and 500cc.In fact there was a team a few years back that was made up largely of females in Denmark.One of these did sign a contract with a Polish league team,but that as you moot was a publicity stunt As for German female riders Celina Liebmann,the daughter of a former German ice speedway rider has followed on from Sabrina Bogh and became the first female to win a national title two seasons back.Had a nasty accident last season,but she is back this year and will hopefully make some more progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Can't remember their names but there were a pair of talented grass/longtrack sisters a couple of years ago that were French/Dutch/German? Certainly held their own and wiped a few smiles off faces. As far im always concerned if you are good enough then no other factors should matter.

Nadine and Julia Frenk were two sisters on Longtrack/grass https://sites.google.com/site/racingteamfrenk/ The Grosser twins were highly rated by Egon Müller,but never really got on once they moved up on 500cc bikes.They did a season of practice sessions,but don't think they ever raced in proper meetings once they left 250cc events https://www.shz.de/lokales/landeszeitung/schnelle-zwillinge-aus-krummwisch-id9403731.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
