  1. These kind of videos need to be shared wider. The fun side of having different nationalities in speedway. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1AkGxoSrVE/?mibextid=wwXIfr
  2. If Dan can get the scaphoid plated and screwed it’ll be 4-6 weeks.
  3. I dislocated my left hip in a grass track accident in Germany in 96, it was put back in by the hospital and I raced again 3 weeks later. I’m not saying it will be the same for Jason, but I don’t think it will be in the frame of several months out of the game.
  4. Looking forward to this one. I arrive in the uk at 09:30 on Monday morning so hoping to get there for it.
  5. Brexit has thrown up all sorts of problems. Adam travels on his French passport and was refused entry once as he’d passed the 90 days in 180 rule…… luckily he also had his uk passport with him too and was waved through after the original confusion.
  6. As the famous saying goes …. Yeah, but you don’t race on paper.
  7. I can’t see a link for the stream. Any ideas ?
  8. I’ve owned bars for over a quarter of a century and the reason they lasted so long was the constant influx of new staff and their musical tastes. some of the suggestions on here are 50+ years old …. And then people wonder why the new fans aren’t flocking in droves through the turnstiles.
  9. He probably means that riders always know they’ll get paid on time. It’s not always the case.
  10. I once had someone tell me I knew nothing about Adam and that he and Adam were going out for a beer together that night. Which struck me as weird as Adam and I were having lunch in Bordeaux at the time.
  11. There’s lots of them about. I just sit back and smile.
  12. It was truly baffling. To the riders ( of both teams), managers, spectators and TV commentators. There’s either a serious lack of talent or maybe a theory of a match fixing / betting scandal
  13. I was only asking because in a serious sport there’d be worries about match fixing and brown envelopes
  14. I’d be embarrassed to win a meeting that way. Let’s hope Turnball retires this season. She’s clearly lost it.
  15. My hotel is 1.6 miles from the track. They had no idea there was speedway nearby.
  16. I’ve driven up from north London for tonight’s meeting, en route not one panel / poster / banner advertising the speedway. I checked into my hotel which is 5 minutes from the track , mentioned where I was going to the receptionist … not a flicker of recognition. They make it hard on themselves huh ?
  17. I love the way British speedway more or less shuts down in the Summer as they are worried that crowds will be low… then reschedule for October when it’s so cold only 4 men and a dog show up and it gets called off at heat 10. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
  18. It may have looked rideable but I was told it was really badly cut up by the end ( it looked f**ked were the exact words used) so carrying on probably wasn’t an option.
  19. After last Sundays crash in Poland which affected his meeting in Hungary on Monday… yeah … it’s completely over your head. and yes … France is lovely
