I watched last year's British GP in 3D and the year before come to think of it.

The USA have seven gates 1 or 2 in the last 10 heats. This could get interesting!

For those who prefer the Danish Webmaster's racecard layout, I have found it on his site: http://speedway-league.com/sgp01-2011.pdf

How much does the official app cost? Does that include the "game" or do you have to buy that separately?

What happens to riders who achieved their average before 2010?

What does this app provide that the multitude of free Web-based live updates doesn't?

An enjoyable meeting today. Well done to Lee Smart, I don't think anyone expected him to pop out from between Howe and Doolan and tear off down the back straight. Barker was very entertaining and if you're an Ipswich fan you should be very excited at the prospect of Doolan lining up for you next season. Not as cold as last year either!

To what end? Riders have already signed contracts in both leagues based upon the rules agreed at the AGM.

Given that both Elite and Premier league clubs have already built teams around the existing rules, changes to any of the above simply to appease Coventry would make speedway even more of a laughing stock than it already is.

But you're right, it is a pain having to write all the names in and there doesn't seem to be any benefit to doing the draw so close to the actual event.

Of course, you could always print half a dozen copies of the completed race card the morning of the GP and then make some new friends by distributing copies to those sitting around you.

http://www.fim-live.com/en/ For anyone who's interested, you can vote in three categories for the 2010 FIM World Champions. Darcy Ward is nominated in the "Rookie of the Year" category, there's a Woman of the Year(!) and Tomasz Gollob, as well as Joonas Kylmakorpi, are in the strangely titled "Personality of the Year" category which seems to include almost every two wheeled World Champion in 2010, regardless of actual personality or character.

It will be interesting if Peterborough run in the NL and make a decent profit. Why would they want to go back to the Elite?

Some fans will be left with egg on their face if it even transpires which promoter voted in favour of what.

Planning permission has already been granted.

Who knows what is going on with this. I guess at the end of the day Stadia UK run stadiums and if they demolish the old stadium and build commercial and residential property in its place without constructing the new stadium, then they will be losing their core business. If they continue to demolish their stadiums and not replace them, they won't have much of a business left. Of course, there's nothing to stop them selling the houses and re-investing the proceeds into buying more land to build on, but then that would make them property developers.

Interesting. I thought this had already been approved two years ago?

The wildcards have always been used as a quota system to ensure two Brits are in the championship in order to sell tickets to Cardiff. The unusual thing about 2011 is that one of those Brits might actually qualify on merit!

Brilliant.

I have a couple of questions: Is the speedway on TV in Poland on a subscription channel or is it free to watch? Do you think having two meetings on TV affects the attendence at the other live meetings? Why is there no team in the largest city in Poland, Warsaw?

If Harris finishes in the top 8 then Kolodziej can have his wildcard. That's a pretty big "if" though!
