Won a GP, solid as a rock and in his prime was a very big hitter. Yes he could gate but he could also pass with ease. Top man and hope he gets a massive turnout for his testimonial in a couple of months time. Fully deserved. Expand Bjarne was superb, amazing gater but could he pass, oh yes he could, i remember him getting 22 points at Arena Essex once, what a performance, absolutely top rider and a really nice guy too, always had time for a chat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media, guests, sponsors and season ticket holders only. Why? We are not in the luxurious position that can afford to separate. It’s a rare season opener marketing opportunity - why not try and sell it to all that have an interest - nothing to lose, only potential gain. If we really want to promote then bloody promote it. Expand Previously other fans have been let in for the on-track practice. This may also be the case this season however there may be a restriction on numbers imposed by the stadium management. I'm at the stadium tomorrow so I'll enquire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
