  1. I do agree with you there is no gain for spectators giving best gate to fastest riders, I would like to think you just heard a rumour. I disagree with you that MotoGP is boring, probably you didn't see the MotoGP from Assen last Sunday.
  2. Re disability access - Wife and I have sat in the concessions (high up) on the third bend 3 years running. Different access points, but there has always been a lift somewhere near. Plenty of stewards on hand and sure they will be pleased to help. Last time we went (2015) security was tighter then previous yars, there were tables for looking in bags etc, that would be a good point to seek assistance. Hope you enjoy the racing wherever you end up.
  3. I knew what he meant, you know what he meant, so why be so pedantic. Tell you what, someone implied the commentary was repetitive, you try giving different commentaries for 23 races where there are 4 guys turning left for 4 laps in about 60 seconds. We would all flounder. Its all a personal choice, not everyone is going to like the "him" or "her" presents a subject, if you don't like someone so much turn the volume down I watched on You Tube the 1st round of the under 21 world champions. Apart from the interviews of riders which were in part in English, the rest was, presume, Polish, and during a race there was no commentary at all. Ok, I enjoyed watching the racing, and pleased I could do so, but it was a bland having no commentary. Sometimes "we" don't appreciate what we have until the day we don't have it (and that applies to lots of things).
  4. The GP riders were, as usual, top notch..... the track let them down...…. badly
  5. One way to appease shale suppliers would be to pay, say, 50% upfront, and the balance upon delivery. No cheques, credit/debit card payments only. If suppliers have had bad deals then give them confidence with good deals. If a track cant pay upfront, what chance do they have to pay in 30 days (or whatever). The scourge of "small" businesses has always been late payers, non more so then bigger businesses being late.
  6. Excellent final race. The one who was 3rd most of the race wins, and the one 2nd for most of the race comes last. Amazing
  7. That was poor, how long do you have to lie on the track before someone comes to help. Too long in that case
  8. Bewley did well to get through that and stay on, hope the other rider is ok. So Smektala is Roberts threat now.
  9. Robert done well, looks like main challenge will come from Maxims Drabik, but that's not unexpected. Dan on a steady start.
  10. Heat 20 looks very tasty Heat 1 would look tasty as well, except its heat 1, and usually gate to win. 1st corner should be interesting.
  11. Same public transport will get you there....its only a few hundred yards away (as you probably know)
  12. 2 of the tracks still exist - BV and Sheffield
  13. It was Manchester City Council that stumped up the money to build the stadium and for multiple use (so ratepayers money was used). That's why BV speedway had no control over the contractors when the mess on the 3rd and 4th turn happened. BV pay rent for the speedway. If I not correct some one more in the know will put me right, no problem
  14. Perhaps just as well Milik and Lebedevs are not in the GPs full time this year - as a lot were clamouring for late last year. Stepping up to GP is a big leap. 10 meetings where rider and bike have to be on top form is a big ask - especially for a "newcomer" to the series. Sure, they are spoilers this year, and I do hope some time in the near future one or both are in the GP series and competing at a top level. Solid rides from Lambert. He on a massive learning curve, so last night will have all soaked in a be used for future reference by him. Hope he keeps injury free. Emil seems to be a shadow of his former self. Hate to say that, but he just not riding like he used to. Ok he shows glimpses of what he used to be like, but he not gating, and his bikes seem slow. Hope he can pull it all together. When he was interviewed by Macelana (?) last night, his eyes lit up when she asked about his family. Nothing wrong with that, but I just wonder if his family life is affecting his riding.
  15. You either have a very good memory, or you keep all the programs. Well done
  16. Went to the Shay a few times during mid 60's to early 70's. When you walk into the stadium and take your first look at the steeped bend s it was a "whooo! look at that" and when you saw the races is what another "Whoo, look at that". I remember seeing a Polish team (cant remember whether a national team or a league team) Can remember Pogozelski and Edmund Migos. Pogo was a very tall rider whilst Edmund was a lot shorter. They loved the track, cant remember who won, but the Poles gave it a good go.
  17. Oh dear Lucifer Sam, quoting Tai saying that you set the ball going again. Tai told us the plan ie 5-1 or 4-2, in other words Robert to beat at least one of them, probably Emil as (somehow) he was the weakest link. And it nearly happened.....until Emil shot past up the inside on the 1st/2nd bend lap 1. Best laid plans can go wrong, and it did.
  18. Cor blimey - this thread is getting as bad as "European Union - In or Out" - keeps going round and round with the same arguments, same answers. Stop the world I want to get off!
