Tim - My wife said it would be better if I remained fully clothed!!

Just checked in to our Hotel in Växjö. Looking forward to Elitserien Speedway tonight at Målilla - Dackarna vs Elit Vetlanda

Lakeside before it had a fence?

Yes I couldn't help but notice that!

I enjoyed what was my third visit to Parken last night and I hope it will not be my last but it does not sound too encouraging! Well done to Darcy Ward and I hope AJ and Freddie will be back riding soon! Nice also to have a chat with racers and royals at the airport both yesterday and today!

Not much luck for me. Unibax keep rejecting my money! Will carry on trying for a bit longer though!

Ward for sure and probably Iversen. Not so sure after that at the moment but no doubt the selectors would include a token Swede.

A few months ago Scott Nicholls said he would be riding - not sure if he's changed his mind since!

I also agree Mike Lanham was somewhat over-shadowed. I remember Tim Hunt's early days and he looked very promising.

I believe Chris Harris rides at St Johann.

My apologies I thought the advertised start time was 7.00PM and not 7.15PM. I was mislead by the Speedway GP website!

I agree it's not rocket science Phil and the same applies to GP's starting on time! The last one was nearly 15 minutes before the first race got underway! Let's see if they can do better on Saturday!

Looking forward to this one. Details taken from the Coventry website below:- http://www.coventrybees.co/news.php?extend.2257

Firstly and most importantly I hope Jason, Jari and Simon make speedy recoveries. As others have said it was a disgrace that it took so long to run and like many I left after the heat 12 accident fearing another delay of an hour or more. Given the difficulty many riders were having I think it should have been abandoned at that point anyway. I suspect most die-hards like me will be back for more but I do not believe many new fans will have been won over today!

Well done Tai who looked very quick also!

I think it would also help if meetings started at their advertised start time. Some tracks are not too bad but there are a few that have no urgency whatsoever to run a meeting promptly and you only need someone like Tony Steele in charge to be sure of a long night!

Done - good luck!

Tommy Jansson Way - leading to the Gröndal track at Eskilstuna.

You are correct as after Coventry beat Hull 42 -36 to win the league they beat Leicester 50 - 28 in the Midland Cup Final second leg!

Brings back memories of Coventry v Hull on 13 October 1979 and an attendance of 20,000 plus. Some tracks don't get that in a season now!

I first started going to Speedway at Wembley in 1970 when Freddie was team manager of the Lions! It was also great to see him attending Speedway so regularly over the years! R.I.P Freddie

I am delighted to say I have never watched anything on Sky other than Speedway! No Speedway on Sky = Cancellation of Subscription!

I remember it well. Not too many reserves have scored a 15 point maximum away from home!

Thanks very much Conkers - certainly sounds worth a trip!
