In the case of Cardiff I'm afraid it doesn't. Their tickets were on sale last August for the 2005 G.P. I know because I bought mine then. Hoping it is June 10th because like a lot of people I've already booked the same hotel for that weekend.

I think Ross is only young so I doubt if he will have heard of any of the riders you mention. Just a shame I remember all of them. Incidentally Jack Winstanley was at a recent Leicester reunion and was the oldest rider there. I hope he manages to come down again on September 20th for the next one when John Boulger will be the star guest.

The Leicester rider in white looks like Steve Regeling, but of course I could be totally wrong as usual.

Thanks for the updates. We had to leave before the end as we had to pick up my daughter's dog who we are looking after for the weekend. I was hoping to be able to watch all of the junior racing but it got too late, following the long drawn out match between Bees & Wolves, then several falls in the Academy match delaying things even further. Hope none of the riders were injured.

Sad isn't it? He has always looked really nice but has decided to go down the road of highlights and spikey hair. Not that I notice these things....but....Gary Havelock seems to be having a mid-life crisis as well. Hope Rabbit doesn't see that comment.

Just wanted to say commiserations to the poor Hedgehog that was run over before the meeting so that Sam Ermolenko could wear it on his head. Very bad taste Sam.

She sure will. Just say the word and I'll pack her bags. Don't suppose you could manage two of them could you? Is the bag big enough?

Not having any luck Tommy? I've got some photos on my webshots albums - the speedway ones. Don't suppose they are any good for you but you could have a look. http://community.webshots.com/user/hambolwen

We might disagree on who is the best presenter, Sophie Blake or Julia Bradbury, but that I do agree with.

At last someone who appreciates a good presenter when they see one rather than just being influenced by a model type figure and pretty face. Julia Bradbury was best of the lot. Just a pity she was only mostly seen on the channel four highlights show.

Ah...but that would make it possible to scan the picture and then print off your own photo. Can't be having that.

Not this one is it? http://community.webshots.com/photo/246145...15100466dNosAM#

.... Hope it's not going to kick off while I'm on holiday so I miss it. .....

Maybe, but it would be a shame if it was at the expense of another track shutting.

I hope this isn't going to go the same way as Handlebars parts one and two? Where have you been Sandman? Got caught up in a storm somewhere? I was really worried - not about you but the assorted pets you have on board.

I think Long Eaton have had a few name changes - another one was The Invaders. Incidentally I was talking to someone at the Leicester reunion on Tuesday and he seemed to think it is all systems go at Station Road, but as we have heard that before I guess we'll just have to wait and see what develops this time - if anything.

It might already be a foregone conclusion that TR will be this year's G.P. champion, but I still don't find it boring. If anything had happened to him in the last two G.P's we'd all be moaning about it being a fix so the result was in doubt until the final one. At least everything is above board and I for one still enjoy watching Tony race. It will be interesting to see who comes 2nd and 3rd and which riders are in the final 8 who qualify for 2006. It's still speedway - how can it be boring?

And there we have it........ the way to the top. Well said Swine Town.

Also for the Leicester one on July 19th.

Don't want to worry you, but that could have been Steve Turner. Pink hat, mini-skirt, thigh length boots, flowered top?

I can't understand why Bernie is posting like this tonight because if you read her other posts she is perfectly understandable and her punctuation and spelling are good. Perhaps I'll just give them a miss tonight as I can't understand them. Normal service resumed tomorrow no doubt.

Thanks Shirls. I don't know what happened then as we were at Cardiff. Worst thing is I lent it to someone on Friday at Coventry and forgot to mention about the 2 minute blackness. Never mind they will soon find out.

Jay.......As if I'd forget meeting you after you've been keeping out of my way (or so it seems) for so long. This is a thread about who we met in Cardiff. You get full recognition in the Swindon v Coventry one. "I wish you'd all stop saying that. Could be serious egg on face time come Sunday evening. I prefer to be more pessimistic and then it's really nice when things turn out well." "Serious egg on face time it was then. Pretty awful performance by the Coventry riders, with a couple of exceptions, and a boring meeting but as I spent a lot of the evening with the lovely Addy the speedway came second anyway. Thank goodness for forum members to take my mind off the track "action". So many were there too and I met up with False dawn, Full Throttle, Dave Jones, A61, The Fairies, Grachan, ArnieG, Joanne, Kevin Hammond, Chivs, Robbie_45, Woody the Bee, Steve Turner, Sullyrox, shortoi, Silver Cheetah, Ballinger, London Witch and Witches v Hammers. Nice to meet for the first time at last! JAY, also Buzzybee. I think that's the lot. Sorry if I've missed anyone. By the way I needn't have worried about the fireworks after all as the dog hated Swindon before the match even started so I took her back to the car. Perhaps she knew what was coming."

....How on earth do you manage that? My dog put her paw down at wearing a black/yellow scarf many years ago.

Some people are just miserable. What's wrong with downloading a few photos of forum members so I can put them in my photo album?
