Well done Sweden, and well done to our boys.

I agree, you may not have got on the rostrum but you did us all proud. Well done lads.

You have proved quite a lot wrong, but you have my support. Good luck tonight. The boys have done us all proud and the riding has been awesome. Go Great Britain

I had the updates texted to me but couldn't bear to look, hubby was at home recording it for me....I didn't want to spoil it, and I wasn't disappointed.

I assure you he is not joking, just checked out the official website and it is true.

Come on Team GB, show them how it is done......I need something to keep me entertained on Saturday.

Well done David, I knew you could do it.

Just to echo what everyone else has said WELL DONE GB, it had me jumping around the front room all night and I am hoarse from shouting at the telly. I think it shocked the Australians a little but we proved that we can pressure the (supposed) world leaders.

I agree, GOOD LUCK TONIGHT GB. Prove to the doubters that they are wrong.

My first meeting would have been in July 1988 at Exeter, I can't remember who it was against. Only went because we made a deal with a friend of ours who was a mad speedway fan that if he came out with us to celebrate an anniversary then we would go with him to the speedway. We were on holiday at the time so thought we would give it a try. I was hooked straight away (although Exeter won by a mile). My husband was less than impressed and couldn't see the attraction. As soon as we came home, I started going to Foxhall and went every week untill near the end of the 1993 season when I then had to go into hospital to have my first son. Went to the first meeting of 1994 and then couldn't afford it anymore. For the next eight years kept tabs on what was happening by news reports/ceefax and later sky. Finally got around to going again last year(again when we were on holiday) at Poole (thanks to the same bloke who first introduced me) this time taking my eldest son and got hooked again....and so did my son.
