Not so easy as most tracks aren't owned by speedway promoters and have to rely on landlords letting them rent the track on certain nights.

Well done Travel Plus. My ticket refund was on the doormat when I got home last night - sent from their company funds rather than them waiting for BSI to compensate them. I feel sorry for James and the possible repercussions on his company over the inept actions of BSI. Chris Edited to correct error - apologies to BMI!!

Thinking about some protest banner which I could hang on the fence at the backstraight on Saturday, among all those flags. Just to release my anger a bit. It will probably end up as an argument with a few specnaz looking security guys but I may prepare something. I remember a banner at the World Team Cup at Peterborough a few years back - "Great sport - shame about the monkeys that run it". I agree with their sentiments entirely. Within two heats those responsible for the banner had been evicted from the stadium. Like others, I was in Koblenz when we got the news. Unbelievable considering we hadn't had any rain since Tuesday when we arrived in Germany. The more we hear about it - no programmes, no scheduled repeats - the more I smell a rat!

[ Are Czech Airlines good? Regards James Easter uses them for his Travel Plus groups - I've been with him a couple of times and had no problems with Czech Airlines.
