Had a reply from Adam. Yes he will be riding in 2012 and hopes to get a team place sorted out.

I've sent him a message. If he replies I'll let you know.

Well that's cheered me up no end and made me feel better about myself. I'm over 50 but don't want second halfs back or one off world finals and I love the play-offs.

Who was the naughty ref then? The tapes definitely went up.

And this just about sums up why new posters can feel intimidated when they join the forum because they get jumped on straight away. No wonder some just give up and don't bother any more.

That used to be really funny. I think the only way they would have stopped Andy from qualifying every year would have been to kidnap him and tie him up somewhere miles away from the track.

It won't make much difference if the riders aren't willing to listen and take notice though. I can remember Sam Ermolenko years ago saying Simon Stead's style was all wrong and he shouldn't be locking up so much but he still rides the same way today.

If it was Kelvin it would have been "There's no doubt about that." In view of the fact there wasn't much to get excited about tonight - pretty much knowing Team GB would finish 4th in the end - I decided to count how many times Kelvin said it and the total was 19, but I could have missed a few.

Because they are the ones who are deciding not to go any more. Speedway seems to be secondary to having a good booze up for a lot of fans.

That's the problem with Cardiff - for 'elderly' people like myself - enjoyment of the whole evening depends upon who is sat next to you, who in front and who behind. I've not been for the past two years and haven't really missed going.

Yes, you can buy them on the day. Have a look in the Grand Prix section of the forum here. http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=64222

She is a good singer. It's just her mannerisms and the way she talks that drives me mad.

Many thanks. I'm staying faithful to the Danish Webmaster as I have always used his.

We've been out today but it doesn't look like I've missed much after reading these posts. I thought last season's G.P's were vastly improved due to the tracks being prepared a lot better but it seems it's back to the slick borefests again.

I bet there are loads of dogs really pleased with this decision - just sitting by the door waiting for the hand to appear through the letterbox.

Strewth! Had enough of him on the T.V.

Thank you.

Thank you. I've always used the Danish Webmaster's version so appreciate knowing where it is.

But to look on the bright side at least he's giving his last target, Scott Nicholls, a break.

Thanks for explaining Wackie. I understand that but Pollyanna said she was on Virgin and paying £40 a month for Sky Sports. She shouldn't be paying that much surely?

Are you sure that is just for Sky Sports and not other packages as well? I have Virgin Media and pay around £21 a month for Sky Sports, purely for the speedway, and cancel it for the Autumn/Winter. If you are paying £40 you ought to check why you're paying so much.

But unfortunately not before mine. Cyril did indeed ride for the Leicester Hunters, Bobbath, from 1949 until 1953, although he did have a season away on loan in 1951 with Birmingham because of his growing business interests. He returned for a brief period in 1952 before going back to Birmingham and this time it was a permanent move, with Roy Browning coming in the other direction. Whilst at Birmingham Cyril retired but was briefly enticed back in 1953 for two matches to help the injury hit Leicester team. He then retired again bringing to a close a career that spanned 154 appearances and 979 total points scored for the Hunters. These facts all from memory.

I just knew when I posted it that someone would be checking records but I expected it to be SCB. Perhaps I was including the previous format as well Henry. No, my question hadn't been answered before so thanks for that. I was right anyway - blue won.

Just be grateful you aren't married to him.
