Ruby Tuesday

Tak for the race card.

Great, more shouting!

You were so close! But closer than you are in the Forum GP Game at times!!

I agree 100% with you on that, I thought the same about the Hans Andersen British GP bids.

It will be a special day anyway, but if Sean were to ride it would be even better. I don't think he will but we can live in hope!

My shortlist of riders before Copenhagen read; Greg Andreas Hans Nicki The two I don't pick get to the final, the two I do pick, don't!! Still, I've moved up the order without scoring any points. Oh well, roll on Cardiff.

I predict a Howe/Stead last heat decider, with Stead bombing under Howe on the last bend, knocking him off and getting away with it...again! Seriously though, I'm looking forward to the meeting but can't help but wonder how many of them acutally want to ride at Cardiff as wild card. I can understand Howe, Stead, Kennett, King et al having a good go for it, but some of the more 'mature' guys must be thinking about going to Cardiff and enjoying the atmosphere rather than having to worry about racing for no real benefit to themselves?

What time do the gates open for the meeting?

If only I had bet on all the rounds, I could have got in the top 10! Why oh why didn't I bet on those two on skybet as well! Thanks for running this Steve, looking forward to next year already. RT

They come from talking common sense, something I've learn't isn't used by the powers that be! Harris was fantastic last night at Coventry, his last to 2nd battle was very reminiscent of how good Mark Loram & Joe Screen were at Bombers age. He is the next in line for us IMO.

If I am paying my money to watch the GP, I want to see riders who WANT to be there, not ones who have managed to qualify, will never be as good as they once were and who are taking the place from someone who should be there. Loram may like to be in the GP (I'm just using him as an example) but who honestly thinks he would be up there with Crump, Adams and Andersen?? Okay, Bomber/Stead/King aren't quite up to the GP standard yet (IMO) but without the experience they never will be. King should've been in the British GP where Kennett was this year, with the 'decision makers' making poor decisions like that, what is the point discussing this? We will end up with Nicholls and Richardson next year (again) with Bomber and possibly Stead as reserves, hopefully Bomber above Stead in the reserve line up. Should the 'decision makers' actually sit back and think about things, they will realise they need to take extra time, discuss their thoughts with others and on occasions, read this forum for the advice they need! We need riders who will improve and develop, Richardson just doesn't have that oomph he needs, Scott has it he just has problems finding it sometimes! Stick Bomber in and you'll be guaranteed a rider who tries his hardest and rides good old fashioned speedway, not this pantomine bike racing we get at the moment! Rant over

I have seen it for sale in the UK but between £14 and £22 a bottle, in Poland it's roughly £6. The Vodka is red and the labels are usually pink, although I have two different styles of label so there may be more than one brand. There is also a Honey Vodka which is a golden colour in a yellow labelled bottle, it's not as nice IMO, but very popular, it's called Kruypnik (sp?) (Krup-nik). Wisnowka is pronounced Vish-Nuff-Ka. Enjoy!

I've been to Bydgoszcz twice and both time have been just off the 4th bend, before the grandstand. It isn't standing, it's benched all round (as far as I can remember), so you can sit, although if you get a giant in front you have to stand. We didn't have any problems, but were in a largeish group. There are a lot of Poles who enjoy a drink or two, but if you ask them nicely to not fall onto you, or spill their drink they are usually fine. If in doubt tell the Gollob is God and they will be your friend forever! I wouldn't have said avoid it at all costs, unless you have young children or frail or unsteady on the feet people in your party. It's by far the best for atmosphere at any of the Polish tracks I have been to, you'll never forget it. Have fun and if you want you can bring me back a bottle of Wisnowka (Cherry Vodka).

Maybe Middlo thinks Ricky lacks ambition and prefers the steady plod through the season? Not wanting to 'overdo' it for a single meeting/event?

Is there any reason why they don't have the u-15's going out in the interval? I think it would make sense from a fans point of view, at least people would get to see them, rather than missing them completely if they are out in the pubs meeting up with people? I would bet that the majority of the fans there would rather see the kids ride than Bonnie Tyler singing - or pretty much anyone that BSI could afford. Robbie Williams may get a bit of an interest, but I don't suppose they will ever stretch the budget that far will they!?
