  1. Just out of interest, Bomber was using the Gerhard engine again last night at Brandon. As was PK.
  2. Strewth!!! Two teams listed in riding order on a bees topic. That's a few less programme sales tonight. Mr H won't be happy.
  3. I know we have only heard one side of the story, but Bomber's actions sound completely out of order to me.
  4. I think the major difference here is the "opportunity". Belle Vue have had to live with an awkward track since the the day they moved into the greyhound stadium, and it has already been stated that the track at the new stadium will be totally different to the current one. CVS missed his opportunity when Monmore was re- designed, and he had pretty much a blank canvas on track design. However he finished up with something very similar to the track that had been there previously, when so much more could have been done. Incidentally the fact that Wolves are so poor this year doesn't bother me , quite the contrary in fact.
  5. Well judging by the crowd reaction last night, Nicki P only had one fan in the stadium. That was the electric one that his mechanic waves under his nose in the pits between races.
  6. I must say , having seen this it leaves me feeling a bit blank.
  7. 3 more years like this and you could be ready for suicide
  8. Perhaps you could change your name to "white flag",
  9. Unfortunately I don't expect it will create the slightest impression with the clowns at bspa towers. They are more into vendettas than they are trying to help a very very good british youngster.
  10. You mentioned the shape of the track. This is something that has puzzled me too. Sometime back I worked very close to Monmore , around the time of the stadium improvements, which included a new dog track being installed, freeing up extra space around the back straight area of the speedway track. One day a" big wig" from Ladbokes left his car with us for some work to be carried out. I offered to drop him off at the stadium, and whilst driving round there I quizzed him about the layout of the new speedway track. He was very clear with his reply, the extra space created could be used for the new track, and the decision was entirely in the hands of CVS. The extra space wasn't used , which is a shame really because monmore could have had a bigger circuit with a much better shape.
  11. Must have been. Half of them were Coventry fans.
  12. But nothing like the number we get when the pirates visit .
  13. Max Fricke , a developing talent in my opinion. Would very much liked to have seen him in the Bees team this year
  14. As will the Bees, given the present form of HA & Robbo.
  15. Bomber just needs to find a little more straight line speed and he could be in business.
  16. That's quite interesting. I was only chatting to a couple of speedway friends last night about Mondays debacle,and I said to them that given what was happening at FIFA , we might have to re-introduce the death penalty in this country in order to suitably punish the administrators of british speedway if ever they got brought to book
  17. Hans Nielsen used a laydown engine at Pocking in 1993. He finished second to Ermolenko, and probably would have won it had it not been for a couple of doubtful decisions from the referee.
  18. Perhaps Starman could spend a couple of weeks there to help improve his grasp of the English language.
  19. It will take a lot more than that to make me feel sorry for Horton.
  20. Based on previous experience,something makes me think that it will be a complete waste of time and effort, unfortunately.
  21. It will be interesting to see what sort of reception he gets from the south coast " mafia chief" when they next meet.
  22. It's all down to BSMS. British Speedway Mushroom Syndrome . Prevalent at most tracks these days.
