Why no Hancock? Has he done his job now and that's it?

Although originally announced, it seems he rushed out and organised a prior appointment.

Zero interest in this meeting as there are another 3 days for more to pull out..fields already average and we get a much better line up for the Kilb openers...Schlein and Harris seem to be permanant fulltime invited riders at Swindon held individual meetings and as for watching Zengota pootle round..pfft...enough time for Kenny the Bear to find an excuse as well as Buzckowski or however u mispell it and someone tell Darcy to stay clear of village inns on friday night.....strictly come dancing anyone?

[orion 7,615]

I read someplace that Tai Woffinden was in USA as a guest of Monster Energy at a very big 'do' they are staging for all the sportsmen they sponsor, so it seems logical that Greg Hancock, who was their first marquee speedway signing, would be there too.

 

Presumably the date was known well before Greg even contemplated returning to the Elite League. Any complaints over his non-appearance tomorrow should be levelled at the BSPA press people, or whoever originally suggested he would be riding at Swindon!

Is Woffinden sponsored by Monster? Is Greg Hancock not something to do with monster franchise in Sweden?

[van wolfswinkel 635]

wont be going, not at 50 quid to get in for me and 'er indoors... ridiculous. Strictly as well for us!

[trophykid 32]

Will Swindon be using Track covers?

After Darcy's big fall on Wednesday his wrist has swollen and needed hospital physio treatment yesterday and today!! Watch this space!!

Agreed, £25 per head is way too much money and then there's £1.50 for parking and the cost of programme(s) too...shan't be watching 'Strictly' though..

 

Poole had a good field for the Blue Riband and that was £18 I believe, a full £7 cheaper...

 

Pricing for this event needs to be looked at, as it is not the prestigious event it once used to be

[Trees 2,814]

Yep, no World Champ at the ELRC, he's in America with Monster, it's on the BSPA website ........... real shame eh!
