It's nice reading this thread at the moment, how long till it gets Gavan'd ?

.

Go back to your "well placed source" who told you that Adam is on a lot of money and a sizeable guarantee and tell him he's talking out of his arse. Adam is on the same as he was last year at Birmingham ( which even then was less than some other NL riders) But don't let the truth get in the way of a good old moan. As for boring, ask the fans who go to see him, the opposition riders who like to pitch themselves against him or his team mates who have been quoted as to how much he helps out in the pits. Sour grapes anyone ?

Why is it poole's fault that Lynn couldn't put a team together. Everyone knew that Harris was crooked. Why did they book him ? I know. Next time the pirates are on a 5-1 one of the riders will slow down to give the other team a chance .... There, feel better now ?

Newman wasn't a happy bunny on twitter last night, Middlo tweeted a photo of the broken spokes on Newman's front wheel from where it was hit by Lindgren.

I have three pubs and live music / DJ's play a very important part of what kind / now many clients come in, spend their money, and more importantly come back! If you think that the 15 minutes of racing is enough to keep a crowd entertained throughout 2 hours then you're seriously deluded. Get local bands / DJ's to send in copies of their work and offer them a set throughout the meeting. It won't cost a lot and some would probably do it free just for the exposure.

They are given to the rider

now, now. Ths is BSF don't forget. I'm sure soon we'll have no end of "experts" to tell us how bad the break is....... Then they'll tell us how to ride a speedway bike, run a club, run a league and top it off with conspiracy theories. the G***N will come on and insult everyone.

AAAArgh, someone quoted Gavan again ! This is the only response i'll give you "buddy" is that i blocked you because you're a dick, plain and simple. In real life I (and i suppose many others) wouldn't give you the time of day as you come across as a thoroughly unpleasant and nasty guy. As to your comments, do you really think I give a rats left testicle about your opinion ? you're definitely flattering yourself on that one. I presumed you were posting drunk as no one could possibly be that aggressive and as much of a dick whilst sober can they ? Otherwise they'd just be a bit of a .... oh , hang on. Bye loser.

Adam had a good night ( my first meeting watching him ride at home for the pirates) his steel shoe came off in heat 15 and he clattered the air fence trying an outside sweep. A real battering for Leicester but you can only race what's put in front of you. Oh, and ease stop quoting Gavan. I have the drunkard on block and his ramblings are an embarrassment to the sport.

I had a great night, you can only beat what's put in front of you.

well my £85 was wasted on a hotel, they're like Leicester .... no refund offered, i'll think twice before going there again.

Please stop quoting the twunts posts. I have him on ignore and his drunken ramblings keep popping up everytime someone gives him his little moment of fame.

i'm fitting in swindon and poole too while i'm over

Well i'm leaving tomorrow for this one so I hope it's on !

Adam missed out on winning the euro U21 by 1 point last year and was keen to do it again this year, especially as the final is here in France, less than 10kms from where he was born. No British riders were entered !!! just when our young riders need overseas experience this seems baffling.

I can't understand the amount of grief Neil Vatcher gets from some quarters. He and his wife put in an incredible amount of work in the UK and all over Europe to help young British riders. I've seen him dead on his feet at 1am in the pits, collecting all the race bibs off the boys before a long drive home to wash them before he leaves for his work the following morning. The guy deserves a medal.

Of course i'm proud of Adam, (as I am all my kids) but talk is cheap. I wouldn't like to think of the money i've spent over the years on speedway / grasstrack but at the end of the day it's Adams talent that has got him (and the other young riders) where they are today. There's quite a bit of money around the sport and I think (hope) that if the powers that be gave it a bit more thought and organisation it could be channeled into shaping team GB for the future.

Drag the sport into the 21st century and understand that the internet exists, stop marketing it as a "family night out", promotors start promoting and not just preaching to the converted.

Not sure what Gavan said as i have him on ignore but can't we just enjoy the fact that we now have several brilliant young riders coming through the ranks? If the BSPA get their act into gear and maybe the British companies that supported the Aussies and others could get some funding behind them, we could be challenging for world titles in years to come.

It's hard enough to get youngsters into speedway as it is but second halves won't work. 5 years ago i'd drive to different tracks around the country with Adam, (bearing in mind we'd already driven over 1,000 kms in the first place to get to the uk) and curfews would kick in, sometimes you'd get three rides , sometimes two, sometimes none. We did it because it was what we wanted to do so the distance was a minor problem but I saw some parents say "sod this for a lark" and no doubt their sons are now riding moto X. Maybe a couple of youngsters per team on 250's riding one heat after every 4 heats ? they'll have the experience of racing in front of a crowd as opposed to two men and a dog, plus their last (of three ) rides would be a "heat 16 " so wouldn't drag on too late. If during the BSPA agm the ridiculous returning to the pits after every dodgy start was banned, meetings would move on more swiftly, everyones a winner ?

Thanks for your help, not a bad night including two heat wins, just the overnight drive back to Stoke now. Onwards and upwards.

thank you

Not signed as such, just doing a meeting, we'll see how it goes. Just wanted to follow the meeting if possible.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a link to follow league racing in Denmark?
