  1. I am holidaying with my family in Cornwall next week and would like some info,as the club web site is next to useless.Where aroundabouts is the stadium is it near Tamar bridge/tunnel,admission cost,track length and is the track slick or grippy.Many thanks.
  2. By all accounts the tracks were supposed to be improving this year,or so we were told.I see no evidence as yet of that happening.Dull and tedious most gp's are now.
  3. Well done Jason,a worthy World Champion and richly deserved.A proud father and family man and the epitome of professionalism,never unfair in riding and an absolute credit to the sport.
  4. Zetterstrom ffs,he will add nothing to the gp's.Glad to see Chris Holder and Jarek Hampel through though.
  5. Not a slick track in sight,except Coventry.
  6. I am tipping Chris Harris to win and/or Greg Hancock.I have had a fiver on Chris at 33/1 ew and two quid on Greg to win.Chris was fantastic at BV on monday and last time i bet on Cardiff was when Greg came to BV and rode very well,i am hoping history will repeat itself.
  7. Be wary of these sites,i clicked on one of them yesterday and i got a trojan downloader going on.You have been warned!.
  8. Another bore-fest is on the cards i fear.Still it cannot be any worse than Leszno can it?
  9. The gp's are meant to provide the best racing,on the best tracks with the best riders.Well the best riders were on show at least.I am in agreement with most on this forum in saying that Ole should resign.He is holding the gp's back from being a crowd pleaser to being really rather dull.I seldom watch them live any more,i just sky+ them and watch on sunday.The Leszno gp will make no new fans get down to their local track.I wonder what the Leszno track is usually like,is it that slick or is it just that way for the gp's,perhaps any Polish posters on here could enlighten us.
  10. That meeting was rubbish,i am glad i sky+ it. 3 hours wasted if i didn't.
  11. What an absolute freaking shambles.Speedway has been reduced once again to a laughing stock .Like others on this forum,i sense something fishy is going on.
  12. Walasek,Ulamek and Bjerre?.They will liven up the GP's no end.What a shambles.I despair,i really do.
  13. Ashie i have every respect for Greg Hancock,especially as he won me some money at bookies @12-1
  14. I very much doubt that changing the manager will have any effect on the team's success.The manager does not ride the bikes.The fact of the matter is that our boys cannot cut the mustard and cannot compete at an international level as a team.We do not currently have the riders that can do so. However i do suspect that Mr Middleditch does the job to publicise Poole,which is fine by me as long as he does so when managing Poole and not when managing England .The national team manager should be seen to be totally neutral.I would say this about any club,not just Poole.Ditch the Poole logos Neil.
  15. Just read this terrible news.When are the bad injuries and deaths going to end?.My and all British Speedway fans thoughts are with Kennys family and friends at this sad sad time. RIP Kenny.
  16. It is good for British Speedway to see Ed is progressing well at the moment.From an entertainment point of view and in view of the fact that Simon is currently on an higher average,then Simon should get the nod.Simon may add a bit of spice to what was a dull meeting(yes i was there) last year.Having said all that i would not be suprised if Ed did get the verdict,given the Middleditch connection.
  17. I remember the incident like it was yesterday,it was a meaningless second half ride.It virtually ended his attempt to retain the title but to his credit he was second only to Ivan Mauger and in my eyes he deserved the title just for his bravery.Peter's lack of gating ability was the only thing preventing him from winning more world titles.For me no one will ever come close to the genius of Peter Collins.A true legend.
  18. After attending Cardiff for the last three years i will not be attending this year.The racing last time was poor and it is just not worth spending around £500 for a weekend away.I will save the money and watch it at home instead.
  19. Who is the rider in the clips that wears the Ace Of Clubs race jacket with the number 39,anybody know?
  20. I think the youngsters should be given the chance.Picking the older riders will do British speedway no good whatsoever in the long run.The kids need to be given the opportunity to experience international speedway and to learn from that experience.They will make mistakes,as we all do,but they will learn from it and hopefully come back bigger and better.
  21. Congratulations on Jason becoming world champion,a thoroughly deserved title.The guy gives everything in every race,whether it be for club or country.He never cries off with a minor injury or a headache and is a true world champion.Once again we can welcome home the world championship to Belle Vue.
  22. Purely from a spectacle point of view Mark should get the nod as the wild card.The guy is a true racer.On the other hand youth should be given the chance.As we found in the WTC final it is all very well going for experience but the kids need to be given the chance.They may fail but they will learn from the experience and hopefully improve because we all learn from our mistakes. Speaking of mistakes i would like to share my mistake with anyone who cares to read it.A couple of weeks ago i was holidaying in Cornwall.While i was watching my kids play in the water i saw a lady who had muscly legs,a mans facial features etc.etc.I said to the guy stood a few feet away look at that woman there i think she is one of those transgenders and i went to great lenghts to point this person out to him and he just laughed.I returned to me deck chair,went back towards the water and there was the guy walking up the beach with the lady i have described.He looked at me as if to say that was me wife you were less than complimentary about.I made my self scarce.I then visited the toilet,returned and saw this guy looking anxiously around with an annoyed look on his face. He thankfully did not see me,much to my delight as i may have been in line for a black eye. I kept my alcohol consumption down and would not talk to strangers for a while after that.
  23. I cannot stand NM one little bit,as he has a persona that i find cannot be trusted.Hey but that is just my personal opinion.He does not ride the bikes,he just picks the team.It is not his fault that team GB has not got a cat in hells chance of becoming world champions,they are just not good enough.It is a sad fact that there are next to no training facilities for up and coming young Brits.That is the problem that needs addressing.
  24. I feel i have to echo the sentiments of most people on here.The racing at Cardiff was truly abysmal,as was the track.Bonnie Tyler was terrible as well.So was Tony Christie.Having said that Bonnie Tyler was bad she and her band did perform live,which does her credit.I will have to think twice about spending £400-£500 for one weekend next year.The weekend was not a total loss however with JC winning both the GP and the pairs,along with Simon.
