uk_martin 1,606 Posted February 12, 2016 ...Himmelfahrtstag. ...Ascension Day So would a German map of the Atlantic have "Insel Himmelfahrt" off the African coast? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bavarian 766 Posted February 12, 2016 Actually no, this island's name is not usually translated into German. It is known and referred to only by the name "Ascention" here, too. But this is not so with the Easter Island, which is generally refered to as the "Osterinsel" in German. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted February 29, 2016 A shame to see that the Brits is still not present? Still afraid of upsetting BSI? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) A shame to see that the Brits is still not present? Still afraid of upsetting BSI? I have long appreciated your information and insight regarding Swedish Speedway, but if you really believe that the relationship between British Speedway and BSI is anything like that I really would suggest you stick to commenting on your own country since you clearly have no clue at all regarding matters here. The stupidity of your comment beggars belief. Sadly you're not the only one who's fallen for the One Sport parasite's propaganda. I really thought better of you. It has been pointed out ad nauseam that the BSPA have boycotted One Sport Events because they deplore yet more insignificant international open meetings being added to the calendar and conflicting with British Speedway. I am beginning to wonder if it is wilful ignorance, not only by yourself but of those who cannot see that British Speedway is fighting for its existence here. Whether you agree with the BSPA's attempts to protect 80+ years of racing in this country, especially at weekends, at least understand that the last people that the BSPA or indeed the British Speedway community would worry about upsetting is BSI whose activities have sucked the sport dry in this country. But then it's easier to make cheap jibes than think or listen, isn't it? One Sport may work hand-in-hand with Polish Speedway but to suggest that the relationship between BSI and the BSPA is similar is quite frankly beneath contempt.

Humphrey Appleby 13,955 Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) It has been pointed out ad nauseam that the BSPA have boycotted One Sport Events because they deplore yet more insignificant international open meetings being added to the calendar and conflicting with British Speedway. British Speedway, for better or worse, tries to organise a regular weekly structure of events providing 200 or so riders with paid employment. These European open events are simply being organised by parasitical commercial companies off the back of the professional leagues, who derive no benefit from them. I can't see how speedway events being reduced to running with select teams with no connection to anything other than their sponsors, can really be a step forward for the sport, or understand how people can buy into the concept whilst criticising long established leagues trying to run viable fixture lists.

Landshut 04.06. Ostrow Torun for a One Sport event yet again? Really pushing the boundaries aren't they? Let's hope a few more turn up this time.
