  1. You can certainly break a toe inside a boot if it isn't a completely snug fit. All it needs is a hard enough impact to hammer the toe against the inside of the boot. That said, I didn't believe Holder either.
  2. Thanks. Is it even possible to produce a decent racing track when it's made afresh each year?
  3. British league speedway can seem crap on television, certainly. Empty stands or grass banks and dingy old floodlights not bright enough to illuminate a kitchen. Riders in kevlars that are a different colour to the rest of their team (sounds little, but it can be very confusing to kids and newbies) looks tinpot. This is all offset when you have good racing, but when it's a gater's track you're watching a procession and it adds to the overall malaise. SGP in Cardiff can get away with processional 'racing' due to the scale of the event and the names on show. Late season on an overcast evening in Peterborough doesn't have quite the same attraction.
  4. Wolverhampton is a prime example of a small track than can produce decent racing. Out of interest, what happens to the track after the meeting?
  5. Really wasn't the most engaging for a newbie to watch on television. It just isn't a good track. Slightly too small, favours gaters and lane three is a total no-no.
  6. My kids are begging me to take them next year as the GP fits in with the holidays. I've already conceded! As for people complaining about the parking prices, I use one of those websites that lets you pay to park on someone's drive. £4.50 for the whole day and only a 20 minute walk to the stadium.
  7. I quite enjoyed the competition regardless of the outcome. The Twitter element is good fun and has led to a few amusing moments. The competition does favour top heavy sides though. Good luck for next season as I've a lot of time for BV.
  8. Who would bet against Poole though? Fairly or otherwise? Great win tonight for the Robins.
  9. You'd think so but there is always one or two of the top five who misfire away from Blunsdon.
  10. Surely Swindon should be taking at least 3 points from this.
  11. Hope Swindon will pick up a point but we rarely seem to do the business away from home. Over two legs though it could be another matter.
  12. Lots of people have mental health issues, myself included. Sometimes people need to be cut some slack at times. However, if this incident was due to his health issues then, as you say, should he be on the shale in what can be a volatile environment? Feel very sorry for Vissing.
  13. Chill. I'm only still here because I didn't tie the knot properly 24 years ago. And I'm glad I made that mistake. In that time I've discovered speedway.
  14. I'm feeling that way too. How can GI keep making so many mistakes? Are they truly incompetent or are they looking to get us evicted?
