You surely cannot have seen Dons greats like Vic Huxley,Billy Lamont,Jim Kempster and the not so great,but local to me(his shop is just a mile away)Alfred Rumrich?But maybe Jack and/or Kenny are older and saw them?

Yes,i saw this on speedway.org yesterday.It is great that the young girl isn't too badly injured.I guess we have to wait and see what the consequences for the club and maybe speedway in general in Germany might be.I would guess there has to be an inquiry.Freak accident that might probably at the same or similar stadium never again happen,but precautions haveto be taken.I do remember a few years back at Berlin for the Ice Racing a bike(think it might have been Harald Simon's)flew over the fence.But luckily it was on the third/fourth bend where no one stands/sits.Just a grass bank.If it had happened at the other end it might have caused the same incident as that is generally packed

Ha....i worked in Mill Lane,Carshalton for a few years....And also used to do White City,Wimbledon,Hackney and Rye or Eastbourne and then came Arena Essex

Yes,that is true.But i do try to plan my saturday visits so that i can take in 2(if really lucky 3)meetings.Next weekend i am having to decide whether to go to Skaerbaek or Vojens for the 80cc DM(YGT quali's or even go to Esbjerg for the 500cc 1st Div and then to one of the later qualis Would love to go up for this one.But we moved our place of work just over a year ago 1 hour further away from the border,so it is really hard to make it unless we have a day when not much is happening.But should be a good one

This is soooo true.I watched 5 out of the first 6 meetings and not one of them was better than average this season.Last year we saw some very dodgy track prep in Poland that got teams fined.....but still you will hear all the stuff about how great it is.I do remember someone aftera veeeery average meeting posting "Polish speedway at it's best" Blinkered is the word i think.The thing is once someone gets into the routine/mentality of saying how good Polish speedway is they find it hard to actually see the reality.The stadiums are superb,but the speedway is no better or worse than most countries.I would say that Pawel does in my opinion call it as we all see it and will say when it is a poor meeting

Indeed Mikael.That seems a fair entrance price for what is on offer.No point anyone saying,but in Poland it is cheaper.......It isn't easy to balance thefact the fans want top riders,but don't want to pay too much for that.And the club also wants to give the best they can afford.As for the stream....well there are a fair number of fans who hardly ever go to a meeting and just watch free streams which doesn't really contribute much to the sport.At least this way they will be contributing something

Superbly filmed.Not so sure about the guns though.Also not sure the cheap childish comment at an ex sponsor is fitting.The company put money into the sport when i would guess not many others were queing up to do so

Well i have to work on some pics for the young Russian Arslan Fayzulin,so i wish you a good evening and hope you join us for more speedway from Eskilstuna on the morrow

Rudi Steen Hansen being interviewed.....was watching his son ride for Holsted on saturday

No-one can quite say "yeeah" quite as cool as a Dane :-)

Yes track is outside of town(1 or 2 km)among fields.....very few pine trees i think

That is the 1st Division and such.You only get one man and a dog plus maybea speedway crazy english guy going to those.But Superliga meetings can vary from 800 or so toa few thousand.Vojens was probably one of the worst supported clubs funnily enough.But was handy for me as it was just over the border

No it was an easy mistake for someone to make as in the printed sheet inside the programme they had Kröger and Kroner swapped around.....then they had all the helmet colours mixed up as well.......plus this Bundesliga idea of having 'home' riders in the red + white helmet colours and the away team in blue+ yellow makes for confusion!!!! Yeahhhhhhhh

Much preffered the old system.Now the same riders ride against each othertoo often imo.If one rider is that bit better it is rathera foregone conclusion far too often.Ok,when you get two riders that are on a par then it makes for an exciting night,but i seem to be out of luck most times of late for my DSL visits.Of course they cut down the numbers for a reason.Not so sure on the idea of a 4team Final either.And my first experience on saturday of the new 3 team system......also wondering why?Seems especially for the youngsters,the more riders involved the better.With the 4 tt there wereat least at each meeting more riders to see.Not sure how the numbers work over a season though.Whether less riders get a chance or more or the same.......Must do the maths

Ooh,spoilt for choice tonight then with streams.Be interesting to see how Tobi Busch + Ice Racer Danil Ivanov go.Tobi looked really good yesterday.But that was in Germany Otherwise a big thumbs up for the Smeddie pairing

Heat 5 i made it the sameas the official results i picked up from the press office....T.Busch,M.Kröger,T.Kroner,M.Schultz.Musielak did start from 15m in one heat.Can't be sure which.What about speedway.org?Has Ottie put her report up?Think i get a mention as she asked to use one of my piccies.Fame at last Had a look and she say's it was ht6 when he went off 15m.....and my foto is the very last one

Seems rather strange that speedyguy it seems has started a new account just to post on this thread!!!!What do you say to that raceleader?

Heard today that the Esbjerg semi has been moved to Outrup on the 8th of May

Brokstedt 39 M.Korneliussen (3,0,6!,1',1',1)12+2 M.Kröger (0,1',2,3,2,1')9+2 K.Wölbert (0,2,1,0,2,2)7 T.Kroner (2,1',2',1,3,0)9+2 S.Katt (2,0,0,0,)2 Stralsund 48 J.B.Monberg (2,3,1,2,0,3,3)14 M.Schultz (1',0,0,1',1')3 T.Musielak (1,1,3,2,0,0)7 T.Busch (3,3,f.x,2',3)11+1 M.B.Jensen (3,2',3,3,2')13+2 Super meeting(one of the best i have ever seen at Brokstedt)with some great races,lovely weather and a apid max from Mikkel B Highlight must be a fantastic heat 6 when Kevin was leading but having trouble keeping Mikkel B at bay and then Musielak and Mikkel went past Kevin in one move.The 3 of them were only feet apart the whole heat.Mikkel was obviously man of the meeting,but there were super performances by Musielak,Mads,the old boy,Matten Kröger and Tobi Busch had an impressive meeting,only spoilt when he lostcontrol and went into the fence whilst in second place.3,800 fans there today who must have gone home pleased,even if Brokstedt lost. In the juniors it was disappointing for the young Russian.Won the two heats he finished,but the one i saw he wheelied at the gate and was out.Seemed he also fell in one of his earlier heats,so didn't make the final.But he did ask me to supply him with some pics On the 125cc bikes,Patrizia Grosser won with a max.Hard to tell how she will be really only riding againsther sister and young Wessels

More news regarding the incidents at yesterdays meeting.3 fans were injured including the young woman http://www.mittelbayerische.de/index.cfm?pid=10063&pk=782242&p=1

Line ups for tomorrows Bundesliga meeting.Weather is looking good and afair line-up.Happy to get to see Mikkel B a bit closer to home for once.And also looking forward to seeing the exciting Russian junior Fayzulin,plus the two young girls Egon Müller has taken under his wing, the Grosser sisters MSC Brokstedt 1 Mads Korneliussen 2 Tobias Kroner 3 Kevin Wölbert 4 Matthias Kröger 5 Stephan Katt 6 R Danny Maaßen MC Nordstern Stralsund 7 Jesper B.
