I remember a story from I think Larry Ross in SS and I think it must have been the World pairs in Poland I think. They told him and Ivan that there pit area was out in the blazing sun and Larry was going to accept it but Ivan set up in the shade. Larry said they'll throw us out the meeting and Ivan said let them try. He knew he was more important than the officials were to the meeting .lol. Story was along those lines

Well done Cookie thought he had a great chance after last season then the start of this but then thought he had no chance after the last few months. Did brilliant especially after a first ride last I believe

Fair comment Agree with what you say but however he did it, it was a fantastic win and a great night

When we came back in 2010 Tom Perry and Ash Morris were 15 year olds I think and both looked good prospects but Toms still riding for us and Ash is still in reality a CL reserve, I've seen a good few youngsters in the NL in the past 8 seasons but there's not a lot gone on to the highest level in reality

I did intend doing all the PL tracks this year on top of our home and away meetings plus about half a dozen random meetings but I think apathys set in. Was going to come to this one but can't be bothered with all the shambles going on this season I reckon all enthusiasm been knocked out of me. Just tried to explain the KL v Wolves double header to my wife, guess what she shook her head in disbelief. Her comment of if it starts at half 7 they'll never finish both meetings. This is someone whose only ever been to 2 meetings

And finished 5th one year

I hope this doesn't come across sounding disrespectful and hopefully Ivan will be with us for a long time to come but when we lose anyone everyone says good things about them. I was just wondering if most forum members think Ivan was the best ever. I started following speedway mid 70s when I think he had won 4 of his titles so it's arguable if he's best days were just behind him but in the 75 season I'm sure he was virtually unbeatable. From my viewpoint he may not have been the most exciting rider but I really think overall he's been the best ever taking professionalism to another level.When he came to Dudley Wood I remember standing in awe watching him. Hope this has comes across as a tribute to the great man and as I say not disrespectful

Wait till he rides for Peterborough but guests against them in the same meeting

It's more proberly that it's that I'd had a drink watching the after meeting interview but it did seem to me he'd had a drink.

I actually think the concept of 4 riders 4 laps is as good as its ever been even in Britain it's just the absolute b***ocks regarding rules that turns the sport into a laughing stock. If anything the riders today are as skilful if not better than riders of the past

I watched the Wembley one which Penhall won a few months back and it wasn't as good as I remember it except a couple of classic races

That's got to be top 3 TWK

German GP Cardiff wet shale

How long before there all in Poland with Cardiff and the NSS

Top 10 shambles anyone

Was the BT deal just for this season

Shambles

Toss a coin

shambles

It is out there but I have no idea how to get it on here I'm only 56 still learning

Get the Billy Connelly version up TWK it's brilliant. Must be out there somewhere

I don't follow the Polish league but I take it this is the 2nd division, what the hecks happened to Bydgoszcz. I've been a couple of times a few years ago when they were a top team with the best track anywhere

Looks like getting a petition going again

When the season started I'm sure a lot of clubs seemed to be getting decent crowds but with every shambles that comes along (on a regular basis) I'm sure that's why fans are giving up. As usual I planned to do a fair few meetings but with lack of regular meetings I've lost a bit of interest and have not done as many as I intended

Nobody INSIDE the sport takes it seriously
