That's a backward step and a half but a ride is a ride I suppose

I must of missed this conversation, so are the EL & PL using this system??????

Check out Freddie Lindgren's twitter today. The muppet turned up at the wrong stadium for a practice meeting. He went to Lodz stadium and should have been at Tarnow

excuse me, when you say riding do you mean riding as in trundling, or riding as in pretty fast. If the latter the bloke must be crackers

I know you're not that type of person but that post comes across as very arrogant. I think the rest of Europe should just say to Poland, If you don't use the new silencer then all Polish riders will be banned from all racing outside of Poland. Polish speedway isn't the be all and end all of speedway. It would & will carry on without.

Part Role For Bjerre Monday, 31 January 2011 12:47 Danish Grand Prix rider Kenneth Bjerre is not planning on racing a full season for Lejonen in the Swedish Elitserien this season. Bjerre's commitments in the Grand Prix Series along with riding in Britain with King's Lynn, Poland with Wroclaw and Denmark with Grindsted will keep the Dane busy enough not to need a full season in Sweden. Speaking to SpeedwayGP he said: “I’ll just do the meetings I want to do. I don’t really need Sweden, but if I’ve got a gap in the fixtures, I’ll do it. I don’t want more meetings really. I’ll only do the ones I want to do and that’s how it will be. I don’t see it as a problem.”

Well, interesting who our heatleader will be now. Lambert is at Stoke & Roynon is at Dudley. I have a feeling James Brundle is in for a return. He'll want to prove a point this year with us being EL I feel.
-
There isn't any stock car issues that I'm aware of. King's Lynn run under Track Star Racing and Mildenhall runs under RDC Promotions if I'm not mistaken. There is no conflict of interests so I'm not sure what you're trying to say at all???

Times are changing in speedway as a whole. The biggest complaint from promoters which started in the early 90's was the fact that young British riders lacked commitment to the sport. Once they'd reached late teens early 20's it was all about living the high life, drinking and chasing birds. Unfortunately, that still exists with our young guys. They start off hungry and full of flair then flop. A good recent example of that would be Lewis Bridger. This kid should be pushing a heatleader spots now but constantly plays the big time Charlie game. Also Ben Barker is of similar ilk. The thing is, I believe the Aussies are know going down this route also. You only have to see what Darcy Ward & Chris Holder get up to publicly and these to are seen as the guys to take over from Adams & Crump. If they carry on they've no hope of that at all. The super fit and super fast Poles are the ones to watch now, followed by the Danes then the Swedes. These guys are fully focused on the game. Kitted out with full on sponsorships and work extremely hard to try and get what they want. I do not care what people say, the British riders ARE NOT focused and hungry and don't carry the same professionalism of our European counterparts. That's why they get overlooked. Our boys simply have to work twice as hard to get noticed these days

I don't think Roynon would be allowed as he's our No'8 for the EL side. Should think Kerr, Knight, Lowe & Mallett are certs for the team. I think they will go with Lambert as No'1

Has Radio Fremantle given up on speedway coverage this year. It was brilliant to listen to speedway on the radio??????? -

Is he packing up on his future with the road bikes then Dave. When he was over here last he said his sponsors would allow him to compete in full time speedway???? -
Why No Second British Gp?
Daniel Smith replied to BARNES's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I think a second GP round could work. The perfect place for it in my opinion would be Hampden Park Scotland. Although there is only Glasgow & Edinburgh I'm sure there would be a great number of locals there plus the travelling fans from Northern clubs like Newcastle, Redcar, Workington, Berwick maybe Belle Vue. Make it cheap for the first season, get the locals in and take it from there. -
Don't agree with that. I think it's gone to £10 because they know they'll get more in this year with the alternate race weeks between the EL & NL. I will even bother this season. Have to have the weekly fix I'd be intrigued to know if they'll knock up some season tickets to include both leagues
-
We were £8 last season for NL meetings

King's Lynn 2011
Daniel Smith replied to I HATE THE RAIN's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
can you bloody believe it. Come tomorrow we'll find that we're in the EL and not only have Ipswich gone PL but now Peterborough have agreed to go PL. WTF -
If you don't mind paying the extra £8 a week for me to attend then I'll be there
-
I'd say quite likely. It's in the best interests of the club to try and develop young British riders. Although I don't attend these meetings it massively important the 3rd tier of speedway.
