Leigh Adams Farewell 17/10 In England

[keef 105]

To be fair i don't give a crap about the line up ..as Long Is Leigh is there who cares ? thats what the days about .

Spot on...will be a big west country turn-out at the Abbey in the sunshine.Crumpie would have ridden but he's had arm op.Not a bad line-up as half have ridden in the Grand Prix, but obviously a few won't bother going as not as good a line-up as the Bob Kilby Memorial meeting...Nicki P. Crumpie Lindgren Sayfutinov etc.,

thank you orion....

 

cant believe people are moaning about it being a poor line-up, what the hell do people think the day is all about? watching a gp meeting or saluting one of the greatest riders ever to grace british speedway??!

 

sure, having a field full of national league riders (no disrespect to them) would be wierd, but its not, its still a competitive lineup and im sure they'll put on a show. Leigh probably could have asked more or less the entire gp field, but what would that have meant to him? probably not much. instead he's going out having fun with some old mates and people that respect him.

 

im going just to see leigh take his final few laps round blunsdon, saying thanks for his years of immaculate service nothing else. im pretty sure thats why 10000 fans (including me), showed up on a sunny afternoon in leszno last week.

Not going myself, only so many meetings I can do and to be honest I don't fancy this one, no disrespect to Leigh, in fact I have sent a couple of prints with Rosco so maybe they can be signed and sold. Hope it all goes well.

Strange how none of the riders who don't compete in Britain have bothered to turn up (Brian Karger excepted). Without wanting to insult the riders who are competing the line-up isn't much of a finale for a man who's a British League legend. It certainly wouldn't entice me to spend £20 plus petrol money. Would much rather have remembered Leigh racing his final matches representing Swindon in meaningful meetings at Wolverhampton (on Monday) and Peterborough (last night).

Would of been very interesting if the meeting winner had received a new bike as his reward

Excellent night for Leigh, large crowd and 6 wins out of 6 for Leigh, a great way to sign off a superb 22 year career. A tremendous servant for Swindon, never let them down.

And Shawn McConnell. The ones who matter to Swindon fans were there. Anyone who sees fit to try and have a pop at this meeting can go stuff themselves as far as I'm concerned.

nobody was having a pop, we was saying its a shame that a few riders had to pull out, it was about leigh adams we know that, we hope he had a top day and good luck to him for the future
