  1. I honestly cannot believe people on this moaning about paying £50 for a ticket to to attend a gp at this incredible stadium I ask you have you ever attended a premier league match ,concert etc etc if yes then you will know £50 is par for attending an event of this magnitude Also book in advance you can get tickets for £20 which lets face it is cheap ,i pay that to attend bristol rovers and somerset rebels and although i love attending there is no comparison in stadium and atmosphere Ok this one wasnt a classic gp but your not going to get a wroclaw or malilla every time My wife and i had a wonderful day and have done for the 19 yrs we have attended for me the bomber gp will take some beating lost my voice for 2 wks after that Look forward to many more years

    Having watched the sport i love i love for many years i admit to feeling dissapointed when i see a very average meeting especially when its a SGP . For me its not just when the track dosent produce good racing its the false starts ,the return to the pits for heaven sakes just get on with it it drives this old man bonkers so just imagine some poor soul who has tuned in to watch the pinnacle of our sport for the first time !!!to never tune in again As always my opinion but i am old

    Wroclaw GP 2019

    Fantastic gp just wish more people could see it ,a half hour highlights package on terrestrial tv would be a great idea i know some gps like most sports cant be great every time but last night was really something Does anyone know if this has ever been considered

    Cardiff 2017

    Tickets CAN be expensive as they are for world class events but £60 for 2 adults is imo fantastic value re polish fans yes there noisy yes they wave flags yes they get hammered but amen to all that really wanted woofie to win but for me he just seems slightly off, child on the way new home etc other far more important things on his mind Far too soon to right him off & whatever you think of Tai he is by far the most charismatic & media savvy rider today imo

    Speedway Gp's 2017

    My wife & I had our honeymoon in Prague & went to the go the year sayfutinov won his 1 st go beautiful city lovely people highly recommended
  7. Mark loram the worst rider to ever win the world championship!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I don't agree with that. Maybe the worst gater but the year he won he was fantastic & just look at the riders he beat that year. Had a chat with Jason crump in Prague a few years back & he felt Mark was the most talented rider he ever rode against
  8. Fantastic final maybe one of the best ever Couple of things surely riders shouldn't be allowed to turn left immediately off the start line is there a rule? What a fantastic spectacle the GPS can be just a shame there will be no mention of it anywhere tomorrow
  9. Just got back from holiday & sat down to watch the recorded gp The rained of go was recorded BUT all the other sgp recordings were a mixture of car racing & cycling yes I am old & a complete dim wit but did Anyone else experience the same problem I did phone virgin for advice there answer was "WHAT WAS THE SPORT AGAIN? SPEEDWAY IS THAT FORMULA 1. That wound me up no end

    Sorry I cannot agree with your comments regarding Mr woffinden Having met & had dealings with him & great Ormond st I have found him to be a charming, carismatic& caring young man I fully understand the anger of a role model swearing on live tv but please cut this man a bit of slack none of us were perfect at his age & are most certainly not in later life this one man I feel despite his faults may well turn out to be the most important rider to have come on the scene since penhall Anyway on way back from Cardiff now a truly fantastic go well done to all Sorry I cannot agree with your comments regarding Mr woffinden Having met & had dealings with him & great Ormond st I have found him to be a charming, carismatic& caring young man I fully understand the anger of a role model swearing on live tv but please cut this man a bit of slack none of us were perfect at his age & are most certainly not in later life this one man I feel despite his faults may well turn out to be the most important rider to have come on the scene since penhall Anyway on way back from Cardiff now a truly fantastic go well done to all
  11. What in God's name has Pedersen done to his eyes
  12. Just read bombers interview after tampere. I didn't have my gating gloves on ??? No idea what that means as from what I have seen he has been wearing marigolds most of his career. Why oh why does he keep saying WE ? I know a lot of sportsman do it lennox lewis used to but I wish he would say ME. We are just finishing tiling a bathroom with no gloves.

    Chris Harris Classics.

    I started this topic & can assure everyone i have nothing personal against mr harris ,just made an observation that's all . I didn't realise on a forum you weren't allowed to do that.

    Warsaw Gp Saturday 18th April

    Just watched the warsaw shambles again & to be honest the racing was pretty good & from my comfy sofa the track looked ok & have seen far worse (just go to poole its bloody terrible). For me it was the amount of time everything was taking. Surely to god 23 heats of speedway can be done an dusted in 2 hrs unless there is a major incident.

    Warsaw Gp Saturday 18th April

    As just a fan of speedway & certainly no track expert can somebody please explain to me why the poole track is so crap & the somerset track is so good. If it comes down to the track curator or track expert then surely for the gps they should get the best in to prepare the tracks if olsen isn't.

    Warsaw Gp Saturday 18th April

    I guess the reason they have gps in superb stadium with roofs is to eliminate the rained off scenario but surely after all these years at least the basics should now be in place. A good well prepared race track ,a starting gate that works & a top referee are a must BUT thing that drives me crazy is the length of time speedway takes these days. Why oh bloody why are riders allowed to fart around after a false start etc IMO they should be made to start again immediately. How long should a gp take 2 hours tops? Despite my moan I am still going to cardiff & torun

    Warsaw Gp Saturday 18th April

    I find it quite incredible that I have found no official apology to the fans that were there & the sport has a whole reading there web site its if the whole shambles had never happened its let sweep it all under the carpet an move on. Surely someone has to be held accountable but then again this is speedway.

    Warsaw Gp Saturday 18th April

    Can't seem to find any apology from the organisers of last nights shambles grand prix (see what I did there). Why would any of the 50000 plus crowd ever want to attend another gp & as for people tuning in for the 1st time well god only knows what they must of thought. It was like watching an episode of its a knockout let's just be thankful stewart hall wasn't commentating.

    Warsaw Gp Saturday 18th April

    Woke up this morning thinking did last nights toe curling shambles really happen. The worst night for our sport ever & those poor fans what a way to be treated.

    Darcy Ward

    Very interesting reading the various comments about ward. I regard ward as a supremely talented rider with a wonderful natural talent he is fantastic to watch as were loram ,gollob ,collins etc etc. It just appears to me that the BOY has no brain ,his childish comments on social media really show him & our sport in an awful light. He must have an agent or advisor so why oh why didn't he send out a full apology to fans ,sponsors etc instead of dragging our sport through the gutter. Ward may be talented but he lacks class & natural ability in all walks of life is never enough to achieve all you should. Ward should just look at woffinden & see how it should be done.

    Darcy Ward

    I have a stepson of 17 he is 6ft 5" his feet stink ,he moves at a snails pace he communicates with shrugs or dunno BUT even he has more sense than ward. What is going on in this morons mind ,my stepson is forever losing keys,phone etc & has no brain but I would like to think he wouldn't put his life or others lives at risk whilst riding a motor bike at 80 miles an hour with no brakes whilst under the influence. Ward is a wonderful rider to watch but sadly he is an absolute disgrace to himself ,his family & our sport

    Wolverhampton 2014

    I am not a wolverhampton fan (I live in bristol) so I am expecting a tirade as apparently opinions from wolves fans only are allowed. IMO the kid woffinden should be cut a massive amount of slack ,he has dragged our sport from the mire & given it a massive boost in the national media. The lad is a credit to his sport & maybe the most important world champion we have ever had. He is knackered & suffering from exhaustion I'm not surprised as how they stay awake & remain sharp ill never know. Don't think tai will ride in england next year & after all the abuse who can blame him.

    Nicki Pedersen. Mbe ?

    No doubt pedersen is completely single minded & couldn't give a monkeys nuts about any other competitor or team mate. He is box office & when he hangs up his boots with all the carnage in his wake the sport will be the loser IMO. The thing that upset me the most in the zagar incident was pedersen not checking to see how zagar was ,not even an apology. I wish zagar had decked him I am sure all the riders would of had a whip round to pay the worth every penny fine
