Oh how bored we must all have been in the pre-GP days (NOT). Quite rightly, all the comments 2 GP's in are negative. Ask any supporter who started watching speedway 50-60 years ago if World Championship speedway was boring, or rubbish. Knock me if you will but the future is in the past.

Speedway in the Philipines...surely not! It's going the same way as Custom H ouse To quote John McEnroe...You cannot be serious!.

To quote Tony Blair...things can only get better.

Many thanks.

My wife had a bad case of that but her Gynaecologist sorted it out for her.

Nostalgia is such a lovely state. Sverre and Norman and Stan of course. Seriously though, and apologies to Lakeside fans, the Hammers deserve to come home. p.s. Scrap the GP's and hold the World Final at Olympic Park. Long live west Ham

To be frank, Cardiff last year was not a riot of excitement. I don't know why the Danish GP has moved from Copenhagen which looked ok to me, and Melbourne is an unknown quantity. It looks as if the GP system is here to stay but as people are saying, Speedway is hardly advertising itself at the moment.

Hmmm!. Is the most efficient rider the one who leads from the gate, or the one who misses the gate and battles his way to the front?. Yesterday was Pedersen the most efficient because he won the Final, or Woffinden because he out-scored him?. Statistics are useful but can also be irrelevant.

Yes, Yes and thrice Yes to paraphrase Frankie Howard. Or Having West Ham United and West Ham Speedway sharing Olympic Park. Let's move the Hammers out of Purfleet and get them back home. I'm waiting for the howls from Lakeside Silly

The French venue looks a tad basic. Does anyone know if the racing was better than the surroundings?.

Exactly!.

Why was the decision to hold a GP in Warsaw ridiculous?. They sold 55,000 tickets making it the highest ever GP attendance. Had the technical issues been properly addressed this could well have turned out to be a great advert for speedway. Had the same malaise affected Cardiff last year would people say it was a ridiculous decision to hold a GP in Cardiff?. Re Poland having several speedway stadiums capable of holding the event...how many could hold 55,000?. If there is one, would it have been full to capacity?.

You will not get any criticism from me Bill...with you all the way on this.

How about a French GP at the Stad de France?. With so many cheap flights to Paris and high-speed rail travel to the city from all over Western Europe, this could attract a good crowd. I believe the Stad de France has held motor sport events in the past so I'm sure they could put it on. So, France is not a hotbed of Speedway, but the same could be said of Croatia, Slovenia, Finland. Paris is much more accessible than Tampere, Krsko or Gorican and a weekend in Paris taking in a GP has appeal. After Warsaw and Tampere there may be some reluctance to consider another non-speedway stadium, but where would you rather spend your GP weekend...Daugavpils, Krsko or Paris.

Spot on brandonbee.

Zzzzzz

Thank the Lord we have the SEC to look forward to.

Given the fare the GP's are providing so far this year...I can't wait for the SEC.

Hope it's not Felinfoel...that brew is terrible.

Not exactly scintillating is it

I switched on late...has everyone gone home?.

I got the 2 effs bit...but the rest?.

?

Driving from Wickford to Wimbledon on a Thursday evening was no fun either. Re Friday nights...why not?. On my many "Make it a date, Friday at 8" trips to Hackney I seem to recall the crowds were good.

Not being an afficianado...do porn actors look different from decade to decade?
