  1. Hi guys.

    Sorry for bothering you all.

    Trying to get hold of the Poole fan I met at the Prague GP last night. He helped out Darren who was showing us around the pits.

    We were on the roof together.

    I got the stuff you lent him back after you had gone.

    If he sees this can he  send me an email and I will post the stuff back to you (afraid I got back more than we lent out).

  2. Hi.

  3. If you want to try a selection of beers and cider's go the 'Piw Paw' on Foksal a turning off of Nowy Swiat.

    It has 92 - 95 different tap beers and cider's, and around 120 different bottled beers and cider's.

    Will be in there on Thursday and Friday evening.

    Another bar worth a visit is Hoppiness, on a road behind C&A. Only 12 craft drinks (a very nice stout called 'Coffee and Cream'), but they do some nice pub grub.

  4. As mentioned on the previous page - The Beer Factory. It's at the top of the Square on the right-hand side (roughly opposite the McDonalds) as you are walking up the hill towards the Museum. Not the cheapest (or particularly expensive) place, but the (ooops got excited and added a word) hopefully the hot dancer girl will be there again. :wub::lol:

     

    Thanks for that, I hope the Beer is cold to cool me down if the dancers are too hot :rolleyes:

  5. Hi, I am in need of advice for the Latvia GP

     

    1) What cheap airlines fly there ? daily ones if possible

     

    2) how far is it from the airport to the track ?

     

    3) is it easy to get from the airport to the track, like public transport or is it better to hire a car ?

     

    4) are there many hotels by the track ?

     

    I have never been to Latvia and have No idea about the place but i am thinking about going to this years GP if its cheap enough.

     

    Thanks for any advice.

     

     

    Hi,

     

    Try looking at these links

     

    http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/ind...showtopic=42302

     

    http://www.hotelbiplan.lv/en/

     

    I recommend the above hotel as a cheap nice place to stay, 5-10 minutes walking from Bus or Train Station, 20 Minutes by foot to the stadium.

     

    Ryanair can be the cheapest flights, Stanstead to Riga. Pick an early flight or you will land too late for a train or bus to Daugavpils, and have to stay in Riga.

     

    Last year the people in Daugavpils were very friendly and helpful, food and drink was very cheap.

     

    Try the Central Bar for wall to wall gorgeous females :rolleyes: Disco downstairs, Bowling upstairs. Last year it was still open on the Friday and Saturday nights at 6a.m. when I left (should say crawled out, i'm getting too old had to get some sleep! :blink: ).

     

    Hope this helps, if you want to know any more PM me.

     

    All the Best Paul B).

     

     

     


  6. Hi All,

     

    Sorry if I misled anyone, but I believed that the stadium was fully weatherproof, I've watched them moving the roof back and forth a number of times, and this was mentioned in the press when the motor racing was held there. :unsure:

     

    Why not hold a GP at one of the larger English Football clubs (I do not follow football so don't know the sizes of different stadiums) during the closed season, when they all seem to tear their pitches up to relay them.

     

    I sure the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United would be happy with the extra income generated by the event.

     

    Also I don't think the local hotels would try and rip us off like they do in Cardiff, it's this that puts me off the Welsh city.

  7. Hi All,

     

    I go past Wembley almost every day, to answer a number of the points made about the stadium,

     

    1. It has a moveable roof like the Gelesenkirchen stadium, so is weather proof.

     

    2. There are 3 train stations in Wembley:

     

    Wembley Park underground, with Metropolitan and Jubilee line services.

     

    Wembley Central underground, Bakerloo and mainline Euston

     

    Wembley Stadium mainline, to Marlebone (for the football it is arranged for parking of cars and coaches at their stations near the M25 so you don't have to drive into London).

     

    3. There are at least 2 big hotels almost next to the stadium and a number of B&B's nearby.

     

    4. I can think of 4 pubs within a short walk of the stadium (these are normally closed when the football is on do to the trouble that seems to follow the game).

     

    You have the added bonus of being very close to central London takes from 10 to a maximum of 25 minutes, depending

    on which route you use.

     

    There are also 5 airports serving London, the Channel tunnel link and a good road network around the area.

     

    The only down side I can see is the vast number of tickets that would have to be sold to make the venue viable.

  8. Hi Tractor Girl,

     

    I went there last year:

     

    Daugavpils is 220 Km from Riga, you can get there by train or bus.

     

    There are 4 trains a day, last year it cost about £2.50 one way, but is oh so slow takes between 3 and 5 hours depending on which train you get, with nothing to look at except tree trunks. :blink::(

     

    I'm trying the bus this year, have been told it is cheaper and takes around 2½ hours, and is meant to be a more intesting journey. :unsure:

     

    There are a number of hotels in Daugavpils, but I only know about 3 of them:

     

    Park Hotel Lagota - The most expensive, where the STC stayed last year as well as a couple of the Riders. Located in the city centre.

     

    Hotel Dinaburg - Medium price, most of the Riders and officals stay here, very close to the track, around 5 Km from the centre.

     

    Hotel Bioplan - Cheapest of the 3, a nice clean comfortable modern bed and breakfast hotel, near the centre (1 Km) and around a 20 minute walk (3 Km) to the track. Stayed there last year and found it to be very good, and nothing was to much for the staff. Lindback and his crew were staying there as well as a lot of media. It became full on the Saturday with a great bunch of Poles. I'm back there again this year. :approve:

    I recommend this Hotel if you just want some where for B&B, it has and associated restaurant in the city called "Leon" top notch food at very cheap prices.

     

    Hope this helps you.

  9. Well, possibly like others following the banner link I must confess I thought a "Full Monty" shaver would be operating, shall we say, a little more south of the border.

    Now, suppose we all pledge a certain sum as it stands and offer to double it for a full "Full Monty"?

    Over to you, Bryn....

     

     

    Hi Fourentee,

     

    I hope you're not sugesting that Bryn has a Back, Sack & Crack wax are you? :shock:

     

    There will be Kids and people with delicate disposition attending, also it will be just after lunch :blink:

     

    Bryn, will you be selling your locks, I'm sure there are a number of young ladies on here who would like to purchase a bit of the legend that is Bryn :rolleyes::unsure:

     

    Best wishes Paul B)


  10. Sandie et al

     

    this is what I believe has been pledged so far;

     

    Sandie............£5

    AlGerrie (Cablestar)....£20

    Ruckeroo... £4.31

    Lucifer Sam....£5

    Swift Saint....£5

    Jasper Wasp...£5

    Ozyace....£5

     

    I make that £49.31 (hope I haven't missed anyone but may have done - look at the time!) so nearly halfway there to MINIMUM required!!!! :wink:

     

    Hi Bryn,

     

    I'll put up £10.69, to make the money even. ;)

     

    But I want to see a large photo of the aftermath pinned up at Kiddlington. :blink::rolleyes:

     

    If I don't see you I'll give the money to Rob.

  11. Well i thought someone on here had bought tickets for this GP :cry:

     

    Hi Mike,

     

    I ended up sending the money by bank transfer, costs around £10.00. :shock:

     

    If you send an email via the contacts bit on the menu they will send you 2 sets of bank account details, one for EUROS the other for LATS. Make your choice. :unsure:

     

    I received a receipt about 10 days later, you have to pick the tickets up at the race office. thats down the right hand side of the stadium.

     

    Hopes this helps best wishes Paul B)


  12. Hi All,

     

    Just a quick post about the Antonio Lindback comment.

     

    I saw him Sunday morning and he was unable to walk on his own, he looked very banged up and obviously in a great deal of pain.

     

    The commentators make flippant remarks about riders to make the programmes interesting and amusing, for our enjoyment.

     

    But seeing Antonio like that, brought home to me how dangerous the sport is, and deriding comments do nothing to recognise this.

     

    Just want to add, Get well soon Antonio and best of luck with you future racing.

     

    All the Best Paul B)


  13. Hi All,

     

    Thanks for the comments and advice.

     

    We're making a long weekend of it, back to Riga on the sunday for a few more days. :D

     

    Garry if you want to meet up for a drink it'll be great, do you know any bars to meet in. :P Must warn you my mate has hollow legs!!! :wink:

     

    Drop me a PM where and when you want to meet.

     

    Best wishes Paul B)
