  1. Looks like a special deal for fans coming to the Wolves meeting. Trouble is with such short notice its quite difficult to make arrangements.
  2. Doyle was rightly excluded. The question is, would Pawlicki have stayed on the bike if not hit by Doyle? The answer is yes, he would have stayed on the bike. Therefore Doyle excluded for causing the stoppage.
  3. I would just like to say what a tremendous gift Woffy gave that little girl by pulling her out of the crowd to be part of the award ceremony and to give her his silver medal. That memory will stay with her and her family forever, and as Woffy said it would have probably have just been chucked under the stairs. I have certainly been vocal about him this year, with his snub of his home country's league as well as other issues, but credit where it is due. I am not myself a Tai hater, just angry with some of his decisions, but here he deserves to be applauded for making a little girls day. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/motorsport/1532878/speedway-world-cup-final-tai-woffinden-inspires-great-britain-to-second-place-then-gives-his-medal-to-girl-in-the-crowd/
  4. With rain setting in mid afternoon for the remainder of the day I guess its only a matter of time before we get the news its off, unless by some fluke the clouds devide. With todays technology we can see exactly what's coming on the rainfall radar.
  5. 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.

  7. Rather see a GB speedway revolution with our own riders getting team berths than jonny foreigner.
  8. 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.
  9. Woffinden in suit and tie and backwards baseball cap on track walk. Ridicilous. Rest in team jackets.
  10. Punjab. Has the dosa starter and it was lovely. Harsh on Kurtz who did a good job.
  11. Best bit about last night was the meal in the curry mile. What an area like going to another country!
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. You over in France Jonny? Thought you would be here for this as Adam might get a ride.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Its like say I want tickets for Saturday but they have sold out. How very dare they!!!
  19. Lol! Why not drop the tickets off at the stadium? There will be fans desperate for them and you could get your money back.
  20. 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.
