I expect you're like me, go to speedway, meet and speak to riders in the bar and sort of get to know them. You're not just watching 4 different coloured helmets going round. There's a young lad, miles from home in hospital with bones broken in his back as well as his arm and you see it as a chance to take the mick. It was a bad crash, I don't think for a minute that Josh meant to hurt anybody , he had plenty time to get past which I think he would have cos he was flying. I enjoy watching him but remember not being surprised when he took Mear out in the Brit Champ, if he could gate he'd take some catching. Cheap shot I think.

I too enjoyed it, thought it was a lot better racing than 2 year ago, the only other time I've been. Regarding Scott, he's been a regular GP Rider up until this season but was dropped cos he never does much. Chris Holder's efforts show him up, and probably Harris as well, though he has won one. Pity Chris ain't British. It's not long since we were seeing him in the Prem League, don't know what was up with him when James Wright won the PLRC.

I think the large majority of people anywhere are ok. I was in Manchester when the football European Championships were on, a group of Croatian fans happily let me take their photo in their chequered red and white shirts. We were near Poles in Cardiff last night, they were there to enjoy it, that's all.

Doh! Well I'd looked last night, perhaps one too many, Cheers!

Can't find a thread for this?? Enjoyed it, hoped Crump would win but happy for Chris Holder.

Thought this photo might be of interest, taken by my father in the 60s, I think.. http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=lorryd&z=e
