Very strange, can only presume the referee was pressing the button and they didn't go up before Jonsson went through them

Did you want Walasek to go over the kerb and onto the grass then, he was riding right on the inside! Pedersen has done it loads of times, he cuts across the rider on the inside makes sure there is contact and if he does come off the rider on the inside usually gets excluded. Did it to Crump at Leszno last year and twice at Cardiff last year.

Thank God a referee has finally excluded Pedersen for his first bend tactics leaning across rider.

Do you want standing or seating? If you want standing don't bother booking them just buy them on the day, if seating then best to book them when the come available.

Track was far to slick as most of them are but you have to remember that just over 24 hours earlier they have practise which lasts couple of hours but I read somewhere the amount of laps the riders do equals about 3 meetings and the track takes a hammering, hard to sort that out in 24 hours, think they should scrap practise.

The studio has nothing to do with it, SKY have shown NASCAR and Speedway in HD in the past, in NASCAR all the races from Daytona were in HD. Think it's to do with money, think they have to pay lot more to the host broadcaster for the HD feed.

Crump made HUGE mistake taking gate 3 with first choice in final, it was a one off in the semi.

For first time ever practise at Cardiff will be open to the public this year, starts 3pm Friday and have to show your ticket to get in.

This year at prague there is only a small standing area now and the rest is seating down back straight, just heard from someone at the track the standing area is packed in like sardines and the rest of the stadium is empty.

Look at the first post and it tells you!

I'm sure they release them about couple of months before the event so you're probably looking at May.

Yep I got the letter too, I rang them to see where the seats are, to make sure they are not giving us crap seats at the very top etc, only got a voicemail so waiting for a response.

I've tried contacting them and had no response, anybody got a phone number or email address they will reply on?

Just get seetickets up and compare the prices with the block numbers on the stadium plan. Middle tier is most expensive (especially home straight) then lower teir with home straight and back straight bit more expensive then bends, then upper tier is cheapest with home straight being bit more then rest of upper tier.

In 2009 the British GP at Cardiff will be starting at 5pm rather then 7pm.

In view of the world wide credit crunch and growing demands for higher wages that are coming from our speedway riders, there is a real risk of financial instability in Polish speedway. It is quite possible that, if nothing is going to be done, then the 2010 season might have to be suspended. Having this in mind, we, the shareholders and chairmen of speedway clubs that make up the Polish Speedway ExtraLeague, have decided to take up rigorous steps to overcome the growing problem of financial crisis. The blue print of new regulations is being prepared to create a work market in 2010, adequate to the financial situation and financial capabilities of Polish ExtraLeague clubs. As a result there won't be enough openings for the average level riders. This in turn should lower the ever growing financial demands when it comes to contracting riders. We want to retain the high standard of our ExtraLeague , the standard our supporters over the recent years, have become accustomed to. Therefore we are determined to carry out our plan as we see no other alternative. Signed by - club chairmen and shareholders of the Polish Speedway ExtraLeague Ltd If this happens the GP riders will be running back here in a hurry.

Yep same problem they couldn't refund to my credit card so have given them my maestro card and they said refund will be in the next couple of days.

Had an email from seetickets today saying that have been struggling to refund to my card and I need to contact them, don't know why there would be a problem but will ring them tomorrow.

Does this mean that Leigh Adams and Greg Hancock have confirmed they are continuing next year?

That was funny the way he kept slipping it in.

Anyone get the impression like me that Hancock was saying in his speech that he was thinking of retiring. If that was the case Nicholls wouldn't need wild card.

Don't think it would have worked as it wasn't the top surface that was wet from rain it was whe whole base of the track that was wet from using wet shale to build it.

I received a letter in the post today from Paul Bellamy giving details on how to receive a refund which will be paid by latest 11th November and also a form to claim free tickets for next year with a choice of Gothenburg, Copenhagen or Cardiff. Form needs to be returned to BSI by 14th November.

I have 1 ticket for sale for the German GP, it is in block C2 in the centre of the back straight on row 3 (the front row) overlooking pits. Looking for £25 for it, send me a pm or email.

Do they have different cameras for the Polish feed because there clearly was contact!
