Josh Bates or Adam Ellis? Lets hope both have improved so they can be included next year. I have spoken to Adam on a few ocassions this year and find him to be a very friendly and approachable guy who is happy to chat if the time is right. Clearly he loves the sport and is having the time of his life. That will hold him in good stead when it comes to sponsorship in future years. He looked chuffed to bits to be included in TeamGB even though he didn't get a chance on track. That experience alone will give him a confidence boost going into the remainder of the season. As for Bates, I have never spoken to him so can't make the same opinion Skidder has. What absolutely essential though is to be professional at all times and not come across as some type of lout. Just one look in the direction of Poland and its youngsters like Predpelski is all that is needed. Whilst it would be almost impossible to have the same sponsorship, the way he is presented can be emulated.

Rather see a GB speedway revolution with our own riders getting team berths than jonny foreigner.

Just got back to Poole and have to say it was much better coming back than going by 3 hours! Superb performance from Woffinden who led from the front. King eventually came to the party as did Cook. Lambert found out what hard first bends were but the experience did him good. Rosco spot on with his tac moves. Silver is a fantastic result considering Sweden and Australia looked stronger. Great crowd, great racing, great result, farcical light show. Needed some fireworks. A joke health and safety said no. Well done to Poland who deserved their crown. Off to get some zzzzzzzzzz. Happy days.

Brilliant teamgb. Just brilliant.

100%. All rest in team jackets.

Woffinden in suit and tie and backwards baseball cap on track walk. Ridicilous. Rest in team jackets.

And he has been dropped by Lemo.

Punjab. Has the dosa starter and it was lovely. Harsh on Kurtz who did a good job.

Best bit about last night was the meal in the curry mile. What an area like going to another country!

My first visit to BelleVue. What a fantastic stadium. Viewing from the first bend spectacular with the belle Vue Mexicans infull voice with drunken Russians and Poles. Crap racing though.

Got no choice coming up with shaleshifter who doesn't finish work until 12. Picking him up from Chandlers Ford. Will use M6 toll to speed things along. If we are running late will have to go straight to stadium.

Thanks for that Rob the maps help no end as having read your post panic was setting in! Not leaving Chandlers Ford until 12.30 so its a dash. 224 miles, 4 hours on a clear run no stops, and then have to go to hotel before stadium.

You over in France Jonny? Thought you would be here for this as Adam might get a ride.

The sttendace on the second day at Warsaw was excellent.

Janniro running scared of the UK taxman? Or just crap?

But doubt the curry houses are a sellout at 11pm. Lol! i am sure that facility would have been available at the time had you persued it. Did you phone the BSS and ask for disabled car parking when you booked your tickets? Others clearly did and got spaces. Even last Thursday I phoned the stadium and got parking right next door. The tickets came on Monday. Lets be honest here you left it too late and are ranting because you are annoyed with yourself for not sorting it earlier.

Pardon🤔 You need to read back through. I have certainly lambasted Lambert ( did you see what I did there?) and think he should have been there as well. Selective reading to make some type of point.

Its like say I want tickets for Saturday but they have sold out. How very dare they!!!

Lol! Why not drop the tickets off at the stadium? There will be fans desperate for them and you could get your money back.

I am sorry but no one to blame but yourself. You simply left it too late and are blaming everyone but you should look at yourself for leaving it so late. Only an ignoramus would do such a thing. Common sense would have been to book the parking the same time as the tickets.

Ridiculous to phone the stadium theee days before a sold out event and expect disabled parking. You left it too late. It is 100% your fault. Use the park and ride and remember to book earlier in future. Nothing to see here. Please move along.

Poole 299 Coventry 301

It wasn't sold out a while ago. I phoned on Thursday afternoon and got in no problem. Tickets arrived yesterday.

Well if they went to the trouble of buying a ticket the park and ride isnt going to put them off. Or they could have done what I did, phone the stadium and get tickets to park next door to the NSS for just a tenner for the two days. I can turn up at 6.30 and roll straight in to my parking spot. Lovely.
