  1. Any help from our Polish friends would be much appreciated. I'm planning a weeks holiday with the Wife to take in the 2 meetings, visit Warsaw & take in a visit to Auschwitz. The help I'm looking for is an ideal place to stay which is central to these places, travel times as we intent to drive from England straight after the meeting at King's Lynn. Great places to eat, even meet up with some of you guys & gals if possible for a night out???? I've never driven round Europe so is there any border control after we've left France etc??? All help very much appreciated Many Thanks Dan
  2. Come on CTF, sort ya self out. You should know better than to put a topic in the wrong section Dear o' dear
  3. Denmark will ride round 1 in Denmark surely I'd like to see GB Poland Russia Czech Republic (with Topinka)
  4. Brilliant news, and if all goes well over the winter there will be increased attendance capacity as well with on-going building work.
  5. 1, Doolan 2, Kozza 3, Bjerre 4, Eklof 5, Topinka 6, Lambert 7, Roynon 8, Knight
  6. To be fair, there isn't anything new in that piece that none of us already knew. In fact, I thought it was actually quite a nice write up. Mrs Louis certainly hasn't hung the dirty laundry out. Some of the post on here are way OTT. I'd suggest dome of you actually read it again.
  7. Show your appreciation to a once was the greatest rider too have never won the World title I never had much time for the guy too be brutally honest but over the last 3-4 years he's made me love him. (I think it was the Ipswich thing ) and this year in front of the camera's I believe we have seen another side to the man, one with a brilliant sense of humour He may only ever win 1 World title but I would place him as 2nd greatest GP rider of all time only behind Rickardsson. Talk about what you love & hate about the man as to many, he is like Marmite. Show your appreciation to a great man and NEW FIM SPEEDWAY WORLD CHAMPION 2010 TOMASZ GOLLOB
  8. I'm just getting real bad picture stutter. Has to be my connection as I assume everyone else is all good?????????
  9. Harris's gating at normal standard for heat 1 Come on Bomber
  10. Well done to Harris so far. certainly looks a World class rider today
  11. I just don't know how the useless ref has kept his job. By far the worst ref around.
  12. Heat 11 best race so far but has been a very, very poor meeting. Lets hope it gets better
  13. I'd like to see the old boys get in 1st Zetterstrom 2nd Povazhny 3rd Ulamek
  14. After watching the clip of both incidence I would have excluded Nicholls on both occasions. In the first run theres nothing wrong with what either rider was doing. The fact that Nicholls pick up coming out of turn 2 warranted his exclusion. (Pause clip on 19 & 52 secs) Nicholls exclusion all day long. In the 2nd run THJ just got the edge on Nicholls for the run to the corner and Nicholls turns his bike way to early down the straight to intentionally hit THJ (Pause clip on 1.43 & 2.00 mins) On both occasions Nicholls should have been excluded
  15. On a serious note fellas, how many do turn up to the NL meetings. I've only been a couple of times and both I'd estimate about 200ish.
  16. This press release looks utter twaddle. No way is there any intention of bringing Webster back into the side later on. Seeing as you've re-declared the team, Webster can't be fitted into the side full stop. Priest will have to up his average for Webster to get his spot back but if Priest does that then there's no point in bring Webster back as there's no way that Kurtz, Newman, Atkin & Jones will be dropped. So basically, he's out of the team barring injuries and surely the boys career isn't gonna be held up for that.
  17. Rob chose the right time. I just don't understand people saying he made a mistake. Here's the thinking. Harris was on the most form & most trusted rider we had yesterday. He was the only rider we could trust to get race wins. Harris was only ever going to be the rider to get the Joker ride. There would be no logic at all in taking the Joker ride in your own programmed ride. He may have scored the 6 points but that would have meant that Stead would have rode in that heat and no doubt scored 0 himself as he was awful. Tactical thinking is simple (and quite a few just can't grasp it). 1, Use your strongest rider 2, Only use it in a Tac Sub ride 3, Replace the weakest rider 4, Use it in the strongest gate position After all the above, THE TEAM made the right choice, Harris chose the wrong set up. Not blaming him as he didn't lose on purpose, s**t happens and all that.
  18. Agree. Why do we British always aim for a losers medal????? The only rider to say they're there to win was Harris and he had a stormer of a meeting.
  19. Me personally thinks he's GOD in World Speedway, let alone just Poland. He may never have won and possibly never will win a World Championship but in my life time he's the greatest speedway rider to grace this beautiful planet.
  20. I think we done bloody well today. We may have come outside a medal position but to only finish 11 points behind the winners is some achievement in my eyes as I certainly wasn't expecting to be that close
  21. I think the boys are doing amazing stuff so far. After such a poor start to still being in it after 15 heats is excellent. Lyon just needs to wake Steady up and we could do OK.
