  1. Decent win for the Aces today. Almost sad to see the end of the old place (but I'm sure that those feelings will fade away very quickly once the new stadium opens)
  2. Can't see the Aces pulling this one off to be honest.
  3. One of the best GPs for a while. Great respect to Zagar for coming back from such a crash, and words can't do justice to the bravery of Chris Holder. My repect for him has gone up tenfold after the events of the last week. A true friend and a thoroughly decent human being.
  4. I've not seen a rider go from potential GP winner to being so out of form before. He's riding lke an average Elite League rider at the moment. Hope he can bounce back
  5. Was thinking of going to Wolves for that one, but to be honest, it looks like a bit of a walkover for the home team. It feels very 'end of season' ...................... and it's still only August!
  6. All the best Lewis. After the events of this week, you may not be the last.
  7. Brilliant meeting with a surprise ending. What more could we want (except team GB to be involved maybe!) Two hour program was just right, with the commentaries restricted (mostly) to what was happening on track. Interviews after each race with the winner asking them "How do you feel?" are not needed. Like everyone else, the only parts of the tournament that need to be changed are the jokers and the lack of reserves (which if they were reinstated could actually show the manager's skill, or otherwise!)
  8. Mine arrived on Saturday and I've spent most of the weekend reading it! Superb piece of work and highly recommended.
  9. Just ordered one. The original was brilliant.
  10. Bruce Penhall. Would generate badly needed publicity for the sport and was a great racer.
  11. That's so sad. I met Ivan a few years ago at Cardiff where he signed his book for me. Loved the guy when he rode for Belle Vue, hated him for a bit when he left (!), but I came around to totally respecting a great professional and the blue print for riders today to follow.
  12. The future is definitily bleak if the kids find the product boring.
  13. I can see it being Woffinden or Nichols for political reasons, but the fairest way would be to allow the British Champion (excluding Harris) to compete.
  14. I don't think that his performances merit another attempt at the GPs next year. A lot of people (including myself) thought that this was a year too early for him and sadly it has proven to be the case. It wold be unfair to the other potential wildcards if Tai was picked in front of them. Let him concentrate on his Wolves form in 2011 and hopefully he can come back the following year.
  15. Good choice of track. It should produce some great racing. (Even Rosco couldn't complain about it).
  16. It might just throw up some unusual results - maybe even a GB win!
  17. I emailed the Millenium Stadium last week as well. I mentioned the very poor sound system and they replied within 10 minutes apologising for the system and explaining that they were going to revamp it completely for next year. It was a very nice reply to be honest, let's hope tat they carry out their promise.
  18. Best I've seen ride:- 1, Ivan Mauger 2, Erik Gundersen 3, Hans Nielsen 4, Jason Crump 5, Peter Collins 6, Barry Briggs 7, Tony Rickardsson Every one a world champion! Most spectacular I've seen:- 1 Kelly Moran 2 Shawn Moran 3 Chris Morton 4 Peter Collins 5 Erik Gundersen 6 Tomasz Gollob 7 Soren Sjosten
  19. How about:- Merv Janke Chris Turner Jim Brett Ian Hindle Steve Finch Ian Cartwright Rob Maxfield Peter Ravn
  20. Can't see things improving until there are more British riders in the EL. Tai might move on to the next level but there is no certainty about that. It's becoming a major success if a Brit gets to a semi final unfortunately.
  21. Great article on Kelly Moran - even more poignant now
  22. Get Sky to rename it the 'Sky Golden Helmet Series' and you would have a winner!
