31/05 Prague Speedway Gp
speedwaysliders replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Agree 100%,the track looks like it should produce quality racing,the only thing i can think of ,is what Nikki P was saying in his interview.He said the shale has a lot of small stones in the mixture,which kinda makes sense as the riders seem to gain on the rider in front then drop back,when they get closer.Its been Nikki P home track in the Czech Republic for a few years now,so you would of thought they would listen to him if they had a problem,or maybe Nikki p likes the mixture of the shale as it is!!!!!!!!! -
How did they choose the start marshals for this gig? Is there a league table of the best start marshals around the world somewhere ?!!!

Riders Begging Fans For Money

MANY THANKS for posting your message,blimey being detained at Heathrow must have been terrible experience and shock for the family to go through,also having to answer questions from border staff and the shock of having to be returned to the usa must have been a nightmare.really hope the family can get back together as soon as possible. -
Riders Begging Fans For Money

I can see your point of wanting to help,and i do honestly feel for the fisher family,it cant be nice for them,but the problem surely is not about money,but getting the family back together again,surely a better way of doing it would be like fisher is trying to do and contact his local mp,or try and find someone in speedway,maybe a fan,maybe somone knows a specialist in dealing with these things,but i still cany understand what a collection for the fisher family is for.Surely he has the contacts to get his family to Poland,i know you have said he hasnt asked for donations,but theres already £2,000 plus been raised and more to come,dont you think that anymore is totally worthless,its better fans canvas mps or try and get experts on the case,rather then chuck more money in the pot.My problem is 1- SOME speedway fans would give there last £ to a collection without thought 2-The Fisher family more then anything want to be together and chucking MONEY into an endless pot isnt the right thing to do. 3 Fisher is not unemployed or near the bottom of the ladder, 4 Whats wrong with a simple best wishes card to the family,instead of money? As i said i like to look at this from both sides,something i think the speedway family IS NOT DOING -

Please dont use the word Idiot,i say it as i see it,its nothing against Ryan Fisher,its just hes case that i thought i was allowed to comment on this forum to have my say on.I cant get my head around why you think it ok to fly his familly somewhere,are you chucking in anymore flights into this case?,if you stand back,and look what s happening you may see your error.I know Ryan is feeling down,but theres skpe and the interet to keep in touch.The border agency must have there reasons,they dont want to keep familys apart,but i cannot think why you want to donate money unless you are a family friend. -

So oviously you are now saying Mick Horton is some kind of saint from all the slagging he has got in the past for all manor of things.Do you really think Mick plucked the idea out of thin air without speaking to Ryan,Ryan didnt know anything about it,please dont kid yourself.I 100% agree with the topic poster,that i will help out an injured rider,or like Rory Schein is doingin that very sad case,but in Ryans case i dont understand what the collection is for,hes a businessman ,also rides a speedway bike,rides in Poland,and doubles up in the uk,and all of a sudden theres a collection for some reason for his family to travel somewhere.Has anyone thought that Ryan and his family may have messed up somewhere down the line with getting his family back to the uk,may girlfriend works at border control and think theres more to it then has come out,the border agency just wouldnt stop his family being here,are his kids not british? -
Redcar Bears V Somerset Rebels - 1/5 - Pl
speedwaysliders replied to boz's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Just out of interest what is the rule regarding double up riders when their first choice meeting is rained off? If there time can they re route to another meeting? -
Its good to see Richard make that statement after he calmed down,like others have said im all for a bit of banter and hand bags from riders,but this went way over the limits.Richard said his actions were totally out of character,but didnt here try and get Mark lemon after he knock him off in his epic efforts for Peterbourgh to win the league.I think it took about 3 people to stop him running back to the pits to have a word with Mr Lemon!!!

Cant beleive that knowone has brought up a cuple of "iffy"!!! races concerning karpov and Dryml,now if i didnt know better what was karpov doing team riding Nikki to the front and even more blatent was Dryml who normally doesnt leave the inside and never looks for others in races suddenly looks for Lingren in the first corner and moves mid track!! then on the next lap lets Vactulc have the entire track on the inside to sail through.The Crowd knew what was going on scott Nicholls knew,and Martin Vaculiks face told the story,as if to say"ales i know you were going to let me through but do it a little more suttle next time"!!!!

Give the Tapes marshall more power in order to make the riders start in the correct positions,example worn riders with yellow cards as in football and if the rider is still messing about sigle to the ref to exlude the rider.Every one likes a little bit of conflict and tension,so give the tapes marshall a head set with a microphone as well!!The TAPES MARSHALL is such an inportant position i have never understood why there is not a pool of PAID TAPES MARSHALLS INSTEAD OF VOLUNTARY ONES

Should this meeting been allowed to go ahead on this so called newly laid track with BANKED BENDS!! ?.Its fantastic what the Pavlic family have down,but they do seem to have more clout about doing what they want,KK even thanked the family for giving him the wild card to race there!!! Surely ther has to be a meeting on the new surface before they can use the track for a big event like this. Thanks must go to the startline girls for keeping my attension focused throughout this!!
