Great result for Rory after returning from injury. Well done Roo

Thanks for the possible explanations Lunchy

I dunno Anth and all his nicks and email addresses Maybe he is trying to hide from us all. I miss him

Why no Matthew Wethers?

Enjoy your time down under Bryn ya lucky beggar. If you get the chance to meet up with Cameron and Robert say hi please

How sad

Transport booked and Pammie's dad sorting hotel and tickets as usual Hope to catch up with you again Conkers and maybe you will have time for a drink with us this time around

Not that you are bitter and twisted eh?

I wouldn't bank on it Yep it doesn't seem to play fair considering the other riders who were given a wildcard. Maybe Ole Olsen doesn't like Hans Andersen. Olsen seems to me to have far too much say in what happens in the GP circus and oif you cross him then watch out.

Exactly. When I watched the first under 15's meeting at Armadale last season there were one or two youngsters who were obviously not in control of a 500 cc bike. For a 500cc bike to be the first machine they learn on is dangerous. As Dekker already said starting at the bottom has not harmed any of the Scandinavians has it? We even witnessed some lads from Denmark on 80cc bikes at Frede Schott's testimonial last season and despite them sounding like a swarm of bees they were superb. They went at quite a speed and they also had control and track craft. In Scotland as well as Armadale having second halves every meeting and the Dale Devils CL team Kenny McKinna and Allan McDade run as many training schools as they can and they have some lads as young as six years old who are regulars. A few of them even have their own 80cc bikes. Kenny and Allan are trying to build up as much track time as possible whether it be at Glasgow or Armadale in order for these youngsters to have a future in speedway and the sessions are extremely well run and they have a selection of different cc bikes available. The sessions have stopped for the moment due to lack of light at the Glasgow track but as soon as the season is over then they will be back to weekends during the day. I would like to know what happened to Louis Carr and the position he was given to set up and help youngsters break through? I never read anything about what he has done We are not suggesting they stick to 80cc bikes only start off on them as basic training. It might not be the big big bikes your heroes all ride but you have to start somewhere and I think Sweden and Denmark have proven that this is the way to go. Forgot to add the Scottish Speedway Training School link in case anyone is interested in the work Kenny and Allan are doing

I saw the pics Mateusz and the shirts looked very nice indeed

Obviously I am easier to please than you Trees because I thought it was a very good meeting with some cracking racing from several of the riders.

Wasn't that brilliant balance all the way round the track. Superb stuff from the maestro Maybe we shouldn't be surprised at Tomasz Gollob's win but surely it was the way in which he rode that should be the talking point. He was absolutely fantastic and dared to go where nobody else would. Not a fan of Lee Richardson but he rode very well last night and with a lot of bottle. To be honest I think he is taking over from Scott Nicholls who seems to fall at the final hurdle when the pressure is on. That "poor doctored track" served up some great racing You sure it isn't just sour grapes on your part.

It was certainly not a gaters' derby. There was loads of overtaking.

I think it's a great idea Jim Anything that keeps us informed of the young speedway talent that is out there has to be a good thing.

Hmmmm! I take it you missed this post then:

The pics were good. So many people having fun

Hmmmm did you say that about Jason Crump and his suspect temperment?

Why should I be joking? Tomasz Gollab has always been my favourite rider and I have always supported hm. I have no allegiance nor favourites to nor in team GB

Tomasz Gollob is simply the best

Blooming heck that would mean I had to like Poole

Dunno which channel you were watching it on but we got the benefit of side, front and rear footage

Gooooooooooooooooooooooo Poland with the Danes as runner up

Well he had the benefit of plenty of video footage to make a decision and he still got it wrong. he was scared to throw out Rickardsson on his home turf. Wuss

I thought they were awful but Poland's team suits and bikes were very smart Come on Poland
