The H Man

Great observation Racers and Royals, lets hope Ole reads this forum and takes on board your comments.

Good point from racers and royals, you must have given this subject some serious thought, written like a man with a lot of time on his hands over the weekend. I think that it would be a good idea if BSI employed a young rider to do this indoor testing, maybe the Aussie lad Kyle Magoffin would be a good choice.

Racers Team Manager Timmy Sugar and his loyal friends Bob Simmons and Eric Rein flew out to Germany on Friday looking forward to seeing the last GP of the series. They had their VIP tickets booked and were all set for a fantastic weekend. So when Racers Communications Manager Andy Povey broke the bad news that the GP was off to Tim and his pals in their hotel on Saturday morning, you can imagine that Tim was about as cheerful as when I saw him last Monday evening after the Racers' record home defeat. Tim, Bob and Eric had to spend the whole of Saturday and Sunday morning killing time and were looking forward to getting home ASAP on Sunday afternoon. Fog descended on the Düsseldorf area of Germany during Sunday, so the boys found upon arrival at the airport that the inbound Ryanair flight was diverted and their outbound flight cancelled. They were then informed that Monday's flight was fully booked and that they would have to find alternative flights home. Easyjet to the rescue, but they had to make their own way to a small airport near Dortmund some 100 miles away! They managed to sort transport out to Dortmund, but upon arrival found the airport shut and were forced to sit outside for 4 hours until it opened. Still at least the Easyjet flight home took off on time at 7am and they landed safely at Luton airport earlier today.! Trouble is that they flew out of Stanstead on Friday, so their car was parked there!!!! I think Timmy has had better weekends!

Well thanks for telling me R&R you know I rely on you for all the news, scandal and gossip!

It's on speedwayworld.tv now. What's going on with the Rusky's they only have 4 riders, is Emil S (won't even try and spell it) injured? as Darkin named though not riding weird? riding order changed for GB as well.

I will be in The Prince of Wales and later the gatekeeper - along with the rest of my crew (including the Prince of Welsh speedway). Be nice to meet up with some more of you.

Uno Johansson who rode for Reading in the early 80's was very tall 6'6, two memories of him first was he couldn't get right the tight bends of Perry Barr when racers visited Birmingham and secondly was Billy Sanders nutting him after Uno stuffed him twice in first bend melee's, and Peo Gudmusson (sp??) having to jump on Billy to save poor old Uno from taking a real beating.

Looking at the forecast mate - I reckon you'll be taking full advantage of the food n wine and not watching much tennis! Still next year they will have the roof on for you.

Well I shall be in the Prince of Wales with speedway's very own Prince of Wales as from mid-afternoon...Be great to meet up with lots of forum people (especially girlies! )

Hope you fit and well soon Steve. All the best Paul

And your point is Bryn?

Nice to meet George and Brendon (and their dads) at Reading last night. They were due to do a couple of demonstration races. Unfortunately the first was stopped when George came down and when James Humby was injured, the meeting had to be curtailed and they didn't get a chance to come out again. Hopefully, we will see them at Reading again soon.

I don't know why SKY don't bring in the star of solent TV - Mr Kenny Burnett!

That quartet alone would make us the best team in the Thames Valley Martin wouldn't you agree?

Pleased that your able to afford plenty of goodies from the Reading track shop though tash!

Benfield are running it in the top of the back straight grandstand. Not sure how to get tickets though! I do Found out hospitality tickets are £65 with seats and a meal. Not bad at all. Got the feeling H Man won't be dipping in his pocket for WTC tickets. Who is it sponsoring the event again??? lol @ Wackie. Are you suggesting I am a freeloader!
