Enjoyed my first visit to Copenhagen, also enjoyed the meeting, didnt think the crowd was the biggest. We were on the back straight and the stand didnt look like it had been cleaned for a while a lot of rubbish on the floor but a good view, shame about the track cutting up, but some good moves by some of the riders. Harris was dreadful, Tai got better sorry he didnt make the final. Well done to Batchelor and Iversen. kildermand rode well for a wild card, glad pedersen didnt get many points. Very nice place Copenhagen, stayed till monday, lots to do and easy to get around, didnt realise it was the last one, another new track for me. Bring on Cardiff only thing Ive got to look forward to at the moment, looks like the Brummies have gone.

Missed the first 15 minutes, but enjoyed the prog, Tai came over well and knows what he wants out of life. Good luck to him hope he becomes a multi world Champion.

Didnt they used to have a girl in that group, have they split from her?

Pointless.

I was there yesterday and not the greatest meeting Ive ever been to lots of dust, baking sun, hard work for the track crew, funny watching the security man chasing off the four lads who tried to climb the ladder up to the refs box. Tense score all the way through. I brought a raffle ticket but didnt hear it announced, I did leave after the main event anybody know if it was called out and what the number was. Its some time since I brought a raffle ticket and feel slighty robbed at the moment.

The music is on for at least half an hour before the start of the racing and you and Yorkie are doing nothing, maybe you could spare a few minutes of your time and have a wander around with this sound engineer before the meeting starts. I wont hold my breath waiting for some action its just like the BSPA get them in and then dont give a toss how the supporters are treated. Ears plugs I think.

Thanks for your reply, but as before you want the supporters to sort it out, you have the word of the management, we dont, so as one of the blokes who chat on the mic, why cant you sort it out. Again go and listen to the PA from the supporters point of view, it probably sounds a lot different to you on the centre green. Have a walk into the stands and get yorkie to chat to you from the pits or centre green and listen to the disco we the supporters have to try and talk across during a meeting. Perhaps its not falling on deaf ears, I suppose the possibly is that you are deaf.

I was at Brandon last night and I challenge you to come and stand in sections 2 and 3 the second stair way along and tell me the PA isnt too loud, its painful on your ears, every time you or yorkie start to speak people cringe from the loudness of the Pa, turn it down a couple of degrees. Its the same at Perry barr in the bar, the music is supposed to be background music, not a bloody disco. Come on stand where the supporters are and have a listen when Yorkie starts rabbitting. ITS TOO BLOODY LOUD.ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Rant over, well done to David Rowe from tuesday he will be doing the Swedish meeting taking over fron the other bloke who has no idea.

Great SGP last night, best so far, good to see Tai back at the top on his own. Its being going on for a long time now Pedersens terrible moves that put other riders in hospital or with wrecked bikes, hoping he was going to get his nose blooded last night but it wasnt to be. You can understand the other riders point of view, most of these incidents seem to involve pedersen, he has even been known to knock off his own countrymen. Excellent rider with a lot of talent its just a shame he has such a nasty streak, its not just Pedersen that doesent check other riders. Noticed it in Finland as well when smolinski and wuffy came together, the german just went back to the pits and Ive seen it at a few of the league meeting over the last couple of years, riders come together and then just go back to the pits. The sportmanship in sport is slowly going, not just in speedway but most professional sports. I feel this is the way it will go unless the people in charge start to do something about it. Well done Wuffy, bring it back to Britain again. Like the chat in the studio, but why does Pearson have to shout, he does have a microphone in football and other sports they swap the commenters around could they try a few other people, what happened to Havvy and the eastbourne bloke whose name I cant remember there are plenty of ex-riders about and some of the people doing the DVDs at the tracks do a pretty good job of commentating, it would be nice to hear someody esle for a change. Roll on the next one, which Im going to(excited already) bring it on.

Why is there such a big gap between fixtures, it seems ages since the last meeting.

Well done Tai, great performance and back at the top, pity about the racing, glad pedersen didnt get to the final, next one please.

One of the great Brits, not many left now, RIP.

Saw It all on eurosport, but it wasnt very good, hopefully it will be better next season, roll on Prague.

Dave goddard is a good commenter he did the swedish league last year, bring him in, dosent get over the top excited either. I cant remember when it was but the meeting was at Sheffield and Olly Allen was the pundit, it was on the TV, Im sure and he came across very well and has got a nice clear voice, just a suggesten, I would like to see how other people do it, there must be other riders and tv pundits that would like to have a go, what happened to Dave norris, used to make me laugh.

Good that, pity about the rain, roll on the next one.

Thanks for that I was thinking about coming up to buxton, but can save some money now, hopefully next time.

I was asked a question the other day by a work mate, and felt a twit when I didnt know the answer. where do you find out which refs are going to be at each meeting, I had never even thought about this before, you just turn up and look at the Prog and see which one it is. Which is normally followed by a groan or a smile. Does anybody know and how do I find out, thanks.

Thanks paul, fantastic, sit down and enjoy it now , a bag of crisps and a cider, well away, bring it on.

Anybody know where I can get a scorecard for this meeting?

Enjoyed that dispite the dust from tne motox track drifting over, some good races and the weather was fine, got on with it well. Sad to miss the Bronze helmet, but it wasnt mentioned by the bloke in the box so thought it wasnt going to be on, left after the main event. Some of the team need time to improve and hopefully they will do that, not sure what Im doing next weekend but might come up for the Cov meeting, word of warning Jayne, Ive seen Cov storm and they look good. Still I hope the Hitmen get better and can get some wins under there belts.

Coming up today for the first fixture, hoping for some good speedway, any idea of the teams yet, like to know who Im watching, not followed it much, being a Brummies supporter had my own worries.

Quite enjoyed that, a great race in heat 4 between Lambert and Perry and again in heat 11 with Sarjeant, very windy afternoon but the rain kept off, a bit cold though, unusally there wasnt many falls on the 3rd/4th bend as you normally see. Well run meeting and with the threat of rain they got on with it, not the best meeting Ive ever seen but these lads give it there all, NL track record holder Max clegg 64.62s and Lambert retained the bronze helmet from Sarjeant, some EL clubs could learn form this level on how to run a smooth meeting, no faffing about just get on with it.

Thanks mate.

Anybody in the know got the lines up.

As far as I know its still on, I was hoping to get the line ups, hopefully get some speedway in today.
