I agee with you, when my husband and I read about the meeting to be held at Swindon. They should have checked and they would have seen that Deano was holding his Benefit meeting on that day. I do hope that Deano can get a good line-up for his meeting as he deserves it. _________________ Supporting the Eagles through the good times as well as the bad
I see on the BSPA site that Nicki is going to ride in Swindon's meeting, what a pity he could not have ben at Deano's Benefit meeting. Perhaps it would have been better if Swindon had found out if there were any meetings on this day. They could have put their meeting back to perhaps 8 p.m., perhaps allowing riders to ride in both meetings. Any news on the riders who will be appearing at Arlington on the 15th March. _________________ Supporting the Eagles through the good times as well as the bad
rather suprised and disappointed . was nicki aware of deano's benefit ? we all would have enjoyed seeing nicki again , on and off the track . his presence would surely have added to the attendance . nicki said if he rode again in the british league it would only be for the eagles . not aware he was close to swindon . a great pity alround . no blame game though, we are not aware of the situation , and whatever it may be we should all throw our support behind deano . cannot help being curious though .
The Boococks mem sheffield-top names still tba
Newport open meeting-brent werner confirmed.i know brent wasnt a world beater but i think hes served eastbourne well and would have liked to be at deans test as well.
Crazy planning if you ask me!!!
Is there some reason why Deano's meeting couldn't be switched to the Saturday?
Yes there is ... I've made alternative plans for that day and wouldn't be able to go. I'm sure that those riders who mean the most to Deano will support him and will turn out on the day. _________________ Check out my Pic's site. Click on WWW below...
I have heard a rumour from the BSF that Hans Andersen maybe riding (he's not at Swindon the following day either) but you know what BS you find on there.
I really wanted to go to the Swindon meeting as it is as good as a GP meeting plus I have never been to Swindon. This is highly unlikely now because of Deano's meeting which is more important to me.
Plus living in Hailsham, its quite a bit further Blunsdon than Arlington
when all is said and done the atmosphere in the pits again with david and deano there is much too good to miss . to say hello and shake their hands again is something i am really looking forward to .
According to the Speedway Star they did try to get the meeting put back to the 14th, but the BSPA denied them, as they said the season officially started on the 15th March. How stupid are they, would it have made a difference to start the season one day earlier, I doubt it. It is not as if this meeting would have clashed with any others. Why weren't the other clubs, especially Swindon, asked if they could start their meeting later, in the evening, perhaps at 7.30 p.m. Ofcourse that would have been a sensible thing to do, but as we know being sensible is not always the trait of the BSPA. _________________ Supporting the Eagles through the good times as well as the bad
some of the promoters , especially those on the bspa , seem to be totally inconsiderate to eachother , the fans [ the paying customers] and riders even on one-off and special occassion .these people show that given even a little power they are unfit to be given any . these are the people who supposedly "promote " our sport . pathetic little nonentities .
