Sam Ermolenko Farewell 18th March 2007

Recommended Posts

I haven't checked anything online, but our local says that Boycie will be there although he's not riding. (direct quote from Sam)

Does it have Mark Loram, Craig Boyce or Watty in it though Chris? :P

 

Behave yourself boy!

 

It ain't my fault that I support those riders and have little or no interest in the likes of Lindgren, Karlsson, Gjedde, Jonsson and co!

 

As I said, I am going to show my support for Sam, whom I have know for far too many years now :rolleyes:

Suzie - If you're genuinely not excited by the line up of riders that Sam has put together then I have to tell you that I find that quite sad. There's no rider Cradley fans love to hate more than Sam, but I've got to take my hat off to him. This meeting (the whole day) could prove to be the best of it's kind (farewell, or testimonial etc).

Sam has had alot of offers from riders to ride in this meeting and Sam has gone with a field of 'close buddies' for this meeting which looks like being a great day.

 

Only three of the 2006 Reading team are there (4 with Lemon), suprised not to see Zagar there.

 

Would have been nice to have seen track specialists, Hans Andersen and Nicki Pedersen in there against PK, Adams, Nicholls and Crumpy.

 

 

A great day ahead and its just 14 days away !

What a guy Sam is.

 

Had never met him before last night

 

 

Even through all the hassle of arranging his farewell meeting he gave up his time last night to travel down to the latest Exeter supporters club meeting.

 

And what a night it was.....

 

 

Many thanks Sam--you are an absolute credit to speedway-Think you have a new 15 year old fan in this house badgering me about do I know the way to Wolverhampton-And to think he was a Billy Hamill fan before that. :P

 

Thanks for taking the time to chat to him afterwards.

 

Loved the way you said at the Brewers Fayre they had it wrong as it said on banners Mothers Day 18th March -book now-and how you said its not right its 18th March SuddenSamsflamingfarewell -book now.-Class :)

 

Send me a couple of banners the same size and I may just swap them over late at night-they wont notice ;)

 

Work to do on the Beat the Starter thingy though-nice effort and thanks for taking the time to give it a go in front of everyone-another example of entertaining the fans.

 

Thanks Sam--you were a credit to the sport last night and had the crowd enthralled and hope your night goes as well as did the Exeter Supporters club meeting last night thanks to you. :)

Nevs: Sam and Peter Collins were the special guests fairly recently at an auction night in Shropshire for the benefit of Luke Priest (badly injured at Stoke last season, as you are doubtless aware).

Both were excellent, reminiscing about their time in the sport, chatting, signing countless autographs/pix etc. There's something teeth-grindingly saccharine about describing people as ambassadors for their sport – a phrase I try to avoid – but hey, that's what they were.

I would love to see them there, but as you say he's gone with his mates. It's a shame they won't be there, but it's a great line up.

 

I don't think Monmore is one of Matej's fave tracks, at least not yet. I can't see who he could replace a do a better job (if we look at it oon those terms).

:o I hope you had a quiet word to set him straight Nevs? :D;)
