The Mail services are not good enough t be called Crap. We at Travel plus suffer hugely from mis delivered postage..late delivery of secure 1st class..you name it they **ck it up. I would however question whether their so called "customer relations" can ever reach te depths of the legend that is known as "BT"..once we were cut off for 2 weeks without notice,warning,,claiming we hadn't paid them..incidentally we pay by direct debit. !!..amazing..we were given a special number to chase told to call them at 1630hrs..only to later find out that their office closes at 1600hrs !!!

When I was running Team Australia in 1980's we always met up and raced with Zenon. It was Communist times and never easy in Polska but Zenon always helped me and teh boys. he was great fun as well as being a superb racer. Every time we rocked up in the "new" Poland he was always around, always with a smile, and warm handshake. This is a sad sad loss to the sport, to his family and all those of us who were fortunate enough to know him. ...It's been a pleasure old friend..rest in peace..

2021 FIM Long Track
spiegal replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in Grasstrack, Sidecar, Short Track and Cycle Speedway
Brilliant..many thanks -
POULTEC is a really genuine, well run and thoroughly professional organisation. The owner is a former Grasstrack rider who knows all the pitfalls. I would be more than happy to send any son of mine there as a start on the sport.

I always find it disturbing that so few riders actually make any real, consolidated money to help them set up business or invest. The numbers who actually go on to achieve something positive in a new career after racing is minimal. Even world champions have been known to trek around begging favours. Famous names from the past often seem totally unable to hang onto their money in sensible manner...Obviously there are exceptions but given teh dangers and subsequent decent prize money, the end result is surprising.

2021 GP Series Dates
spiegal replied to therefused's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
that indeed is a concern..6 months away...but Polska is in a bad way at this ttime.. -
Absolutely correct...the lack of planning and foresight over the years has been one of the major problems

more chance of PUTIN working for the Samaritans....speedway riders ride for the money...championships/trophy awards mean even more money
-
Logically why should he ride ?...the money is poor...the team is dreadfully weak...there is absolutely nothing to be added to his reputation.....he will be a big draw on TV..with "Monster" getting good publicity....put your house on him not riding

Prague GP`s rounds 5 and 6 Friday and Saturday September 18th and 19th
spiegal replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
All GP events financially are based around revenue from TV and its associated feeds and advertising...its too late to re-arrange all the requirements of the event..... -

Right now I am thinking of a word that sums this amazing viewpoint up.....ah yes..I can recall one.... -

Lets sincerely hope that you are not unfortunate enough to get infected...if you are...then can we all assume that you will not bother the NHS nor any medical practitioner, nor take up a bed, instead rely totally on your own beliefs and confidence ??..In that case I would stand corrected -

That is a very thoughtful comment...i would agree in part with that...equally i am not ignorant enough to go down the route of "bullrubbish"..Indeed knowing sadly someone who suffered dreadfully before passing, and equally someone who had covid but is thankfully recovering (albeit slowly)..it isn't something I would enjoy having. The mismanagement of Uk and USA governments borders on the criminal. During my mis-spent life and having survived a heart attack and later (the bullrubbish) of Sepsis, I ain't taking no chances Guvnor. -

Interesting...my contact in Prague says that Covid is rampant in Prague...not too bad in the countryside, but being caused by locals coming back from holiday in Spain, Croatia etc.. Also in Gorzow teh 50% capactity didn't seem organised and nobody wearing masks.. -
A real old time favourite of mine as a school kid..is the old boy still with us ?...what was he like as a rider/person ??? Thanks

I have always considered that 80% of a decent wedge was far better than 100% of bugger all

I cann recall him from when I was a very small kid and he came to Foxhall...immaculate machine and leathers...just wondered if there is anyone out there who knew him ?? He retired at any early age, and I met him briefly at Briggo Golden Greats..seemed a shy fella.
