racers and royals

i agree but did they have 2nd thoughts-because that wasn`t what they said in the press release post conference.

this season`s rule book is on-line here http://www.scbgb.co....REGULATIONS.pdf Something i have just seen is that a missing D/U rider in the top 5 is replaced by R/R and if a D/U is at reserve then a PL guest is used.

8th May bank holiday in France

This is taken from a Telegraph article yesterday. " The company paid up to £40m for the Irish and UK channels, and will run some of these under the ESPN name, alongside the two new BT sports channels which it is preparing to launch in the summer." Surely therefore BT could purchase the GP`s and put them on the ESPN channel (subscription).

There are a load of Saturday reserve dates in the offical fixture list for the Saturday TV matches-http://speedwayekstraliga.pl/zalaczniki/Terminarz%20DMP%202013.pdf

Congratulations to " chestnut " on this appointment.Should think the riders will be pleased as he is universally liked,and is more likely to listen to them than the previous incumbent.

I`m not an expert on Polish tv as i watch all the polish league on streams-however i do believe a Cyfra plus card would cover league and GP`s This might help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_in_Poland

Easter Monday and as TVP haven`t got a contract i wouldn`t think so.

Phil Morris would do it i`m sure and would do a good job.

Matt Ford`s comments in the Echo -If only Middlo had said that. http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/10241146.Pirates__Darcy_needs_professional_help_says_boss_Ford/

Not hard to find he`s always advertising in the speedway star

How the Aussie press have reported it http://www.qt.com.au/news/drunk-speedway-star-hightails-it-from-cops/1755067/

No you haven`t missed it-not announced yet.

Really good article on Dave in Backtrack mag issue 48-he was very honest in recounting the severe lows he experienced when he packed up racing.

Dave Mullett is ducking and diving in rural Kent. Sold his sheep several years ago now,has a livery yard on his land and also rears baby chicks and sells them as point of lay chickens.

According to a report in the Polish media Bahia Blanca`s licence has been suspended until an inspection from a FIM delegate can be made.

Stadium way industrial estate is sited on the old Tilehurst stadium site in Reading

Outside of Britain Per Jonsson is so revered in Torun that the road leading to the new stadium is called Per jonsson way.

Reading borough council have recently asked for nominations for future road names-someone suggested Curtis(geoff) Pyeatt(Denny) Michanek (Anders) and Jonsson(Per). It set me wondering if there are any roads named after Speedway riders in the UK, Is there Fundin avenue in Norwich? Mauger close in Manchester ? Briggs Lane in Swindon etc etc

You are wrong about the championship -normally one only live match shown to a world wide audience

I have seen the crash (via Polish speedway site)but didnt want to link it here the tyre fence appeared to be part of the track.His front wheel clipped the back wheel of the rider in front picked up speed alarmingly and was in the fence in a split second.

Tractor size tyres as a safety fence at the place of the high speed crash.Questions need to be asked about track safety .Did the track have to do anything differently for the world u21 meetings ?

I can see Emil having a good season-won`t be far away in the final reckoning.

Hi Pawel do you know if Cyfra are any more successful in stopping the streamers than others(TVP) lets hope not !

However there is NO such thing as TVP turbo
