  1. Kelvingrove Museum andTransport Museum are well worth a visit and are free entry.
  2. Hotel prices in Central Edinburgh at that time of year are extortionate.
  3. Hotel prices in Edinburgh are high,would think Glasgow would be cheaper.Will leave Ashfield to Queen Street to someone who knows better than me its not far though Mayebe £8- £10 taxi fare.
  4. Being from the East I would suggest staying in Glasgow on the Friday after speedway,as you would take while to get back to Edinburgh on public transport.Bus and train required just to get back to Edinburgh not taking into account where you are staying in Edinburgh.Good 2 hrs travelling at least IMO .
  5. What has that got to do with the price? I am say it was aSemi Final not aFinal which might be the reason for price increase.
  6. Think this will be a decent meeting with plenty of young talent,Tuesday is a bit of a bummer though for a prestige Event.
  7. I agree with you ,one man ,one team but the situation in GB is out of control but the BSPA don't have the bottle to sort the situation out and go back to basics.Until this happens there will be no upturn in the sport in GB.There is no such thing as " your Team to support these days" it's just a bunch of riders " doing the rounds".Its a sad situation for speedway.
  8. Speedway is now a "Team Sport "that the individuals ride for every Team nowadays.Can you really take it serious these days?.
  9. Not many people who follow other bike sports rate Speedway IMO .They wouldn't put up with the crap that our fans put up with.
  10. He certainly knows his stuff regarding other motorcycling sport,and is very good at the commentaries IMO .
  11. Social media can be some riders worst enemy,Sponsers can't be impressed with their comments.
  12. Just a racing incident IMO,although Steve did go in a bit tight considering he wasn't that far in front.Best Wishes for speedy recovery he is a class act these days.
  13. Thought Harris lived in Coventry,has he moved back down South?
  14. We all know covers or no covers the chances of a meeting if it is still raining are very slim nowadays.Health and Safety etc.
  15. This is what is wrong with this sport'season not even started and we don't know who is riding where,surely the Tigers website should say if Harris is not avialable on Sat, so we assume he will be at Workington.Or will he!!!!!
  16. Clubs need a website nowadays,Social medium is everywhere not just speedway forum ,if comments are negative they need looked into and responded too if found to be harmful to the Club.
  17. Take it you blew the interview for a job at the track!!!!!!
  18. Went there few times,loved it,it was a great racing track with the banking,saw the late Vaclav Verner visiting with Exeter he was sensational in action ,back wheel bouncing of the 3rd / 4 bend fence every lap a shooting him down the strait heart in mouth stuff every lap ,didn't seem too bother him though.Sadly Missed.
  19. Really,thanks. ps Who told him the meeting was never going to be on?
  20. Whilst when to call off a meeting is a no win situation these days,I fail to see see what Harris is whinging about as a Professional sportsman he should not be sitting around at lunchtime waiting for a meeting to be called off ,a late rain has never been uncommon in Speedway.Like posters are saying if the rain ceased an hour before start time I sure the track could be prepared for racing ,I have seen the situation many times throughout the years I have attended.The trouble nowadays you don't get meeting run in wet conditions as the riders don't like it. Although the whole Country have been suffering the last week with the weather in Britain it can be very localised. The riders want their cake and eat these days.
  21. Andersons and Granty's at Berwick last few seasons have been excellent.
  22. Don't think we have to worry about huge crowds nowadays!!!!!!
