No problem with no result til day 2, like a 2 leg meeting really.

At the very least both bomber and Lambert must have put themselves in position for a fim wildcard

Quality of tracks(amount and quality of shale) have changed though. And untill speedway reaches the 1980s and uses transponders race times are at best a rough guide. So many variables when you have some oldboy in the box with a stop watch. For example Adam Ellis hold track record at Kent..... Watch the race on dvd, andhe is at least a second slower then the time given.

I understand there is a memorial to Rico somewhere in Poland ( I've been told 2 different places) Can anyone tell me location (s) please, as my girlfriend and I would like to go pay tribute in a couple of weeks. Thanks in advance.

Since Cradley stopped winning, Kent have had the biggest National League crowds consistently. Can't see that changing over a quid. I take my 8 year old daughter(into her 4th full season) she gets in for free and will do for 4 or 5 years more. So that 16 quid gives me quality father/daughter time as well as an exciting evenings racing.

I expected Ben to be struggling at home (well I say struggle I expected 8s and 9s initially. Thought by August time he would start banging in maxes) As you say it will have done him wonders for his big track form.

We have had 2 price increases since our existence, not bad when you compare it to other things. In 2013 I could get 20 Mayfair for 5.99. Cheapest pack of fags now is £8.30. Back then a pint of lager was 3.20 per pint, you d be lucky to pay that in a social club now. I always buy a programme so I always count the entry cost including programme. 16 quid it costs me to watch at central park, which is identical to our nearest rivals Eastbourne. So on balance it's not a great problem.

Thank you R&R this page is one of my first calls now. Trying to save a couple of bits for the 24hr bus ride to Warsaw tomorrow.

I ve had a few hours trying to seach for ticket info on my phone. The translate facility only seems to occasionally work and when it does I am pretty sure some of the translations are way off lol. Can anyone here post a link to where I can purchase tickets. I don't want to book the the train tickets and find I can't get into the meeting. Many thanks in advance.

Making my first trip to Warsaw for the gp, unfortunately I recently lost my job so as yet I ve not got my tickets. Does the gp sell out there or will I still be able to get decent seats in a few weeks time? Also being a capital city am I going to be able to survive 4 days with speaking no non swearing polish words. Also obviously Poland is far cheaper then the UK for food and drink etc but being a capital city does this make things much more expensive. Thanks in advance for any help.

Was as simple as you like, yes you pay 3 zlotys extra and print yourself. Having more issues booking train tickets atm. Even the polish lads at work aren't 100 percent on what the process is.

Perfect 2 x tickets for 75 zlotys ordered, many thanks Rand R

Think there is a smattering of Kent fans travelling up.

Oh I see sorry. No I misunderstood you. But the BSPA are not to blame on this occasion as I am pretty sure that it was specified it had to be on a Tuesday and the Masons thought they could host on a Tuesday.

That's a bit harsh on the Mason's they made a simple mistake.

If the track looked rideable and they never started the meeting there would of been uproar. It's an unfortunate situation but frankly unavoidable. Whilst ever attempt to make the sport safer is made, it's an inherently dangerous sport. When there are riders like Hans and Batch in the pits if there was any sniff of unhappy riders you would think they would have jumped all over it. Fact is not one person now thinks the meeting should of started but that's hindsight, clearly no one spoke up at the time. So any claims it was obvious are just stupidity and disrespectful to all the people that were there and ready to perform. Riders quite often post pictures of dodgy tracks before meetings on social media (maybe to show fans more likely to influence a postponement.) but I don't recall seeing any negativity anywhere before tapes up.

Bit you claimed last night that a professional rider backed your opinion so you was right. By that logic it looks like 13 riders disagree with you. Does that make you thirteen times wrong?

I appreciate them giving us something to watch, could of posted the video and captioned it. British young lions fight on in torrid conditions. But to label it a great race just pisses off hardcore fans. And really turn off any joe bloggs stumbling across the video as if that's a great race how dull is a poor race?

No live coverage online?

I imagine it's similar to other clubs where the planning will contain limits of usage etc, part of this will include when they can run. To run on an alternative night would require seeking special permission from the council. As I say no statement of fact, but just my understanding of the situation.

My impression of Berwick from stuff I ve see and when I ve been doing the updates etc is that it's very much gate and go, which is a shame. Why not use common sense and run on a Sunday so that these kids don't have to take another day off of school and parents another day of work?

Hadn't seen a 3rd page of posts before I replied.

Spot on, every national title should be there (which is c*ap for having to travel,but it's what it was built for right?) Also think k this should take priority over any domestic league matches anyway. Being a national championship should place it below international meetings and above domestic fixtures.

Birmingham can't host it as final has to be a Tuesday night, and brum can't get permission to run on a tuesday

Great stuff Walter.
