Thanks for that, was sure they would have rode together at some point, I recall Dag Lovaas was fast, used to get very low on the bends, bit like Dave Gifford in riding style maybe, certainly distinctive. Odd Fossengen, had forgotten all about him Sidney, blue leathers rings a bell with me, could be wrong, did he ride for Poole?

So have we my friend, so have we... Reidar Eide should have been put to stud when he finished riding, you would have a cracking team for many generations, they don't make them like him any more, tough competitor. Just out of interest, did he and Dag Lovas ever get close to an international pairs title? I'm sure they would have made quite a formidable pairing when both on song, surely their careers overlapped while Reidar was still going well, early 70's?

Agreed, well below the usual fare from Saddlebow Rd. The Danes were really powerful and I would expect them to lay down a challenge to the Poles on Saturday. Still plenty to race for in terms of GB progress, no reason why they can't give the Aussies a run for their money on Thursday, I'm feeling cautiously optimistic for our chances.

Initially I felt slightly awkward suggesting it but having seen so many say the same, well.... either that or it was something to do with feedback in his headset, I'm trying to be kind to him really because he came across as though is completely hammered. He's on air in 20mins ffs, should be good. :drink: :drink: :drink:

It would be interesting to know if the same sort of thing occurs in other countries, I find it hard to imagine any Poles behaving in such a way but who knows. I'm too much of a patriot to consider supporting any other county, as far as I'm concerned if you wear the 3 Lions then you are my kind and I'll back you all the way, even Edward Kennett on this occasion

Yes but that's in 12mths Steve, so not all bad eh

No it wasn't just you, I could hear them as well, awful.

Well I'm only just about here myself, phone keeps ringing, work related so needs answering, seen a couple of heats so far.

Posted in the wrong thread before, so, thanks again Alan, also to MP for the scorecards, much appreciated gents.

Thanks Alan. Thanks also to MP for the scorecard. Diamond geezers.

I'd agree with that, Barker may not win too many heats but he epitomises the 'no last places' mantra used by Phil Morris last night, Barker never gives up and has mixed it with most of the riders he'd be up against if selected, he's only 25, I think, so can still be considered part of the future of British speedway, needs to step up soon though. I also like the passion he shows, riding for his country will, I'm sure, mean a lot to Ben Barker. I've been very impressed with what little I've seen of Worrall but I've read enough comments to believe he has a big future if things continue at the same pace for him.

Many thanks Ghostwalker.

Evening all, what time does this one start, also anyone help with a pm please. No tapes up time on the scorecard Paul, you're slipping mate

Not sure who his dad is/was but here's Tony, http://londonbikers....?g=1573&i=63437 Seems like a nice boy

Just keep giving me speedway to watch, I'll live with the shortcomings, although that Carter fella wound me up last night I'm over it now and feeling grateful that I was able to see the meeting at all, never mind it being live, Eurosport have pulled us armchair viewers right out of the cart this year, long may it continue.

Very short notice I know, only realised it was on just now. For those that can make it the weather looks ok for tomorrow, might be a tenner well spent. Apparently it's 12.00 practice and racing starts at 1pm. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cheshire-Grasstrack-Club/140338256068556

No no, credit where it's due, this Moldow track is second to none, nobody can complain about me saying that, surely.. Well done Darcy Ward, what a warrior to come back like that.

Not often we see such an even spread of gate wins, four from gate 1 and 6 from each of the others, credit to the track staff. Stats drawn from the ever helpful inovative scorecard, cheers Paul.

I wouldn't normally comment but that shot of the Heat Girl just then was nothing short of disgraceful, in fact I've taken a still of it and will give thought as to how to proceed with my complaint. Another great ride from Ward in 19, going to be a great 2nd half to the GP season, hope they all stay fit and healthy.

Me too now, I'm a placid sort of bloke but I would shove his microphone down his throat if I could right now, . I'm assuming his bosses told him to liven up following his previous disjointed ill-informed delivery, he's just speeded up the same drivel. Last chance saloon I reckon, can't see them sticking with him.

Great to see Ward back, it's been a decent GP season so far anyway but he does give it that extra edge when he's in the mood, all over Holder there, fearless ride.

Free, innovative scorecards if you don't mind. Ps, they are good, I use them all the time and appreciate them very much.

Apart from everything else, that link fella must have dropped speed, still same voice but completely manic, brilliant.

Maybe Ole believes that if you say it often enough it will become true, he's been raving about his track for years now but it's not often you hear others praising it.

Absolutely brilliant spot. Top tickets, top hotel, Casino, crazy gang, yeah righto..
