O.K. b2bm see you there !!!!!!!

I just booked a nice little B&B called the Hilton, I just hope the morning fry up is alright.

It is the more experienced riders that take their time to get off the track and it is often for medical reasons, Think of the poor mechanic who has to run back with the bike and get it straight again for the rerun. After killing the first four or five the rider realises he better try and hang on to the next bloke and buy him a bit of time. It is a well-known fact that referees believe you can rebuild a bike in two minutes. Another well-known fact is that riders always fall of or crash the furthest distance from the pits just to see who has the least fit mechanic. Seriously I am glad both Tony and Greg walked away from nasty looking crashes and I hope at last they will do something about the air fences on the straights. (Or should that be straightaways)

Thanks for the positive replies Sorry I missed you Pammie and I hope you are well again M.L. Inzell looks a good bet for next year, thanks to Wolfslayer, Conkers and German Speedway Fan for the info on this thread, and best wishes to anyone going to Berlin for the final.

Well I am just glad you guys have put the results on here, now I can check my programme and see if I was keeping up. Sorry I didn't get to meet you conkers, I did look out for you but the place was so packed out I didn't have a chance, It was some crowd. I don't know if Midnight Lady went ? I looked out for a sign of north of the border and found Theo Pijper, (wearing his Monarchs jacket) that was good he's a nice guy. I realy enjoyed my first taste of ice racing and now I have to seek out the best outdoor meeting to attend. Any suggestions ?

Well now that I have my tickets, thanks to your help conkers I will look out for you at the track. Not long now.

Sorry Trackman !! I had seen the posts on here and the agreed meet up spot was to be a) early, and ' in the top row of the stand nearest the start / finish. I got there sometime after 5 pm and the place was quite full even then. I have no idea how I could have found someone I knew in the crowd later on closer to kick off time let alone trying to find someone I didn't know. Next year mate. Strewth, you guys take the biscuit, even a pom could find you two in a crowd, or at least one that knows what you both look like ha ha. If you want me to introduce you to each other next year no worries I’ll do it for a VB. Plus my air fair of course.

OK I'm back, yes please conkers can you post it to: discoll@hotmail.com Thanks

Thanks rusky & Pammie It's the prebooking thats failed, I can't get any response when I try to book, never mind I am going to get some R&R I will be back in a week, somethings going on then but I can't think what

Thanks cheetahawk, I will delay my panic attack for a bit longer, I have just been getting wound up trying to book online and getting no response at http://www.ijsspeedway-assen.nl/ Do you think they have been tipped off, what have I done Anyway it seems you had fun when you went even if it was cold. I’ve only watched it on the box and it has really impressed me and as rusky said: Sad to say I already do, the "It's a knockout" rules aren't helping either. I want to get in a few more meetings in Europe next year as I think the domestic scene is becoming a bit of a joke. If there's good racing I want to be there, Ice, Grass or Shale with apologies to sandman

I am having a bit of trouble getting stadium tickets I keep trying on the web site and now its gone missing. ML /Pammie have you got tickets ? help. I have the flight booked the hotel a car even a parking space booked at Stansted. Anyone got a phone number ? I don't want to be stood outside when the bikes are racing.

We stayed at the Anna it was ok just out of the busy part of town. The whole town is so easy to get about as the Metro and trams are so good. Heres some info from last year that was realy helpfull for me: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/ind...opic=259&st=150 ballinger http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/ind...opic=259&st=105 bartosch I think I might go to Prague again although they will have the Euro and that seems to push up the prices, I hope I'm wrong.

Thanks for the replies M.L. & H'S, it looks like I will be going on my tod so at least I know I can look out for the guys in the kilts if I need help filling out my programme. Sorry about that ML I think the bloke driving was in a bit of a hurry to get somewhere. Vanity, thats my middle name undies by Matalan tops by Makro.

I am thinking of going to the finals in March and wonderd if any one else here will be going, or if you have been before what can you warn me about besides 'it will be cold'.

See you can't trust these posh gits on the dog & bone, of course it must be Wayahead but fancy them not letting on to Fd that they were the mob flogging the seats. I bet Terry Russell will have a few spare tickets for sale with his double allocation.
