  1. Well they are never the first to update their own news!!!!!!
  2. Good ideas - but what would you propose as the admission charges for fans?
  3. Fair points but would you be saying the same if the Stars were bottom of the EL rather than the top?? A winning team does tend to influence fans' perspectives somewhat!!! (ps I do agree with your views on this one incidentally).
  4. All good and valid criticisms pandorum, but what are the solutions? Going back to basics and starting again? Standardising machinery? Banning tuners? Still trying to retain a standard that TV want to broadcast?
  5. Much much better commentary and the best Swedish meeting televised this season so far!!
  6. I'm not sure the Sky commentators are available for this evening?? They'll be at home watching the half hour love fest of 'Woffy, Woffy, Woffy'!! I mean 'our World Champion'.
  7. The FIM nomination will probably go to someone like Bech or MJJ!!?
  8. How many weeks in were we with Jack?? He still hadn't learnt the difference between red and blue helmet colours last Tuesday!!! The only thing that newbies would have learned is that the commentary rarely had anything to do with what they were seeing on screen!! Newbies won't have seen/heard it as funny because they wouldn't know the difference!! They would just see how wrong the commentary had been when the captions came up on screen!!
  9. I've just bought a job lot of birthday cards too!! Good luck to David Rowe.
  10. With all those 'top' riders you would think they would attract better crowds!!! How on earth can they make it pay?
  11. I thought the argument for Sky not bidding for the current SGP contract was partly financial but mainly because they already have more than enough live Saturday evening sport?! Or does the launch of Sky Sports 5 (in August) for all European Football, open up some capacity on Sky Sports 1-4 on a Saturday?
  12. Whilst one might forgive some of the foreign pronunciations, Jack was still calling certain races wrong as he confused red with blue!! Are they not watching the same pictures/captions that the viewers are???
  13. Switched on late and didn't realise they were showing an animated Fantasy Speedway meeting?! I knew something was wrong 'cos Ricky Kling won heat 2!!!!!!!
  14. Yes, but I remember all the other riders clubbed together to pay Boycie's fine!!! And I expect there will be a queue of other SGP riders offering to pay Zagar's fine!!!
  15. Its a shame he didn't!!! Both riders fined apparently - not sure how much??!
  16. Josh G misses the GP Qualifier on Saturday. MA nominate Ty Proctor to replace him.
  17. Magic rode in Poland Sunday (10+3) and is due to ride for Poole tonight - rain permitting. Josh G really wants to ride Saturday but will take the specialist's advice this morning. Since the operation, he has been treating his face/eye with daily ice packs to reduce the swelling, but the biggest issue is likely to be whether he can get his helmet on!!!!!?
  18. I think you'll find Gav that whilst DW is carrying the knee injury, his game plan for the GPs is to get as many early points on the board as possible. If he makes a semifinal or even a final and manages to avoid any major 'clashes' (ie keeping well out the way of Pedersen and Smolinski!) then job done. Not bad for a rider that can't gate, but still sits in 3rd place in the GP standings!!
  19. All the Aussies on duty on Friday are Poole assets - Team manager, Riders and reserve!! Have to rub it in a bit when we have the chance!!
  20. Most of the commentators for minor sports are self employed. At least with Nigel and Kelvin, whilst we might not always agree with their opinion at least they get the facts and the names right the majority of the time!! Even the riders and their gate positions were stated wrongly last night - despite them being on the screen caption!!!
  21. Cheers. So the clubs can't be making money with the costs of so many top riders and squads!!/
