2014 European Speedway Championships
P T Preece replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in International World of Speedway
I was thinking about the crowd, do you think quite a few might have gone to Lonigo instead of Poland, not everybody can afford both and might be quite a problem getting to Lonigo from Poland. -
2014 European Speedway Championships
P T Preece replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in International World of Speedway
Great meeting in a fantastic stadium on a top class track, really enjoyed the SEC this season, PK, ES and GL for the SGP next season and get rid of some of the duff ones from the SGP. -
Belle Vue V Coventry & Kings Lynn 22/9
P T Preece replied to Rob B's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Now that the KL meeting is on first does that mean Sky are only showing the one meeting as the Programme stops at 10pm, no offence to Bees supporters but that meeting doesent really matter as Belle Vue cant get any higher and Coventry are aready set for the play offs anyway. -
2014 European Speedway Championships
P T Preece replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in International World of Speedway
Looking forward to this after Wednesday when we didnt get a complete meeting, not Eurosports fault but still disappointing. -
Dont people get on your nerves, as a previous person said, its 20 to 25 minutes of actual bike noise lasting at most a couple of minutes each race. The world is full of stupid gits.

Sgp Challenge Final Sat 20th Sept

Oh thats a shame, thought he was doing better in the GPs over the last couple, hope he can get in the top 8 now. -
I must admit to being a speedway nut, started in 1973 at coventry went a couple of times and then went to Ladbrookes stadium to watch birmingham in 1974 and that was it hooked. Very depressed in 1983 when they closed down, but at least we had the Wheels to go to and a team to watch, not the great stadium we had at Perry barr but we had a team and then the news came that we wouldent run in 1986. This was the days of saturday night speedway and used to alternate between Coventry and Cradley and saw some great meetings, Cradley was a dump with one of the best tracks and saw some fantastic meeting there. Slowly started to lose a bit of interest, lots of rumours of the Brummies coming back but it didnt happen. Had a couple of seasons where I just went to all the big meeting and the world final, no matter where it was, but slowly started to get interested again, not supporting anybody but always gave a former Brummies rider a wave and cheer if they were riding where we went, couldent support anybody esle it just didnt seem right some how, Shaun Mcconnell was the last Brummie rider and we used to go to Brighton just to cheer him on, good days. I do feel losing your team gives you a better idea of the riders and some of the decisons in the meeting as you look at it from a different view, while the supporters around are shouting its not fair you stand there thinking that was the right call from the ref. Then we had the great news it was it was coming back in 2007, never thought it would happen but it did had some good seasons until the middle of 2014 and we closed again, but hopefully it will come back if the rumors are true(come on Tony). Watched the closing of too many tracks over the years some great stadiums with good tracks but never give up hope, one day you might walk through a gate and realise the track in front of you is yours and your back supporting the team you love.

I went to Kent a couple of years ago and was very impressed with the stadium, had a really enjoyable night and then drove back to Solihull, it was a nice feeling getting home a lot earlier than I would from some of the long distance 7.30 tracks. I wish the track was a couple of hours nearer, then I would become a regular.

In this case it might have been a good idea as she helped Bjerre put his shoulder back in, sounds like a lady who knows what she is doing. -

Coventry V Poole ( Good V Evil) 15/9/14 Sky Meeting
P T Preece replied to Jacques's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I would think this could be an easy win for Coventry, the Poole team does look very weak, lets hope the track gives us some good racing. On the Telly as well, still ifs it wet you know they will get on with it. Good luck to both teams and lets hope all the riders stay injury free. -

Belle Vue National Stadium
P T Preece replied to PHILIPRISING's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
had an idea, with all the racing heritage that Belle Vue have over the years, 4 world champions, some of the greats ridden for you, why not open a museum on site, it could be open to the general public during the day even when there not racing and during the winter as well. Get one of those brown signs up and get it on the general tourist package as well, tourist information and all that, dont know too much about Manchester myself but I reckon it could work. If the council are backing it think of the people it would bring in. -
Vojens Gp 2014
P T Preece replied to Ghostwalker's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Very enjoyable GP and what a crowd, looked full to me. Well done to AJ, good close racing and the usual tatrum from Pedersen, I thought he was going to hit thet woman for a minute. Hope K Bjerre is not feeling to battered this morning, Wuffy looked in so much pain, got 7 points to keep him in the running. -
Good luck to him, hope he goes well.
