You dont normally do the POW - you do posh up the road!!!!!

Kenny is definately no Janniro. He is a good lad with heaps of potential but I do think he may be out of his league here. (Sorry Kenny ) But the AMA must really be struggling to put a National team together at the moment. Last year there was definately a lack of funds given to the team (allegedly) and its a long way to bring across non British riding members. Cant see them going through but pleased they still managed to get a team together. I will follow with interest.

oi!!! And Prince of Wales is the place BFD. See you there.

Wot - no mighty Leigh in your team!!!

TOTAL.......................................£190,000.00 CRUMP.....................50000........£140,000.00 AJ............................35000........£105,000.00 ADAMS.....................45000........£60,000.00 (captain) NICHOLLS.................35000........£25,000.00 SAYFUTDINOV...........25000........£0.00

No but I do remember last year we sat in the new seaing area on bend 4. And then ended up in the main stand as you were constantly being pebble dashed or watching in a dust haze! Most of us in that seating area moved elsewhere. It was just inacceptable to sell tickets in that section!

I certainly dont disagree with that arguement Rabs

Not going to use quotes from previous people but wanted to add: Tex and Mat - A 50% pay cut is a lot but what I woud like to know -what is the 2nd highest placed rider in his team being paid? Was Nicki being overpaid compared to the rest of the team. If so the deal should never have been made in the first place Rabbit - He may be on a high salary but you do still need to factor in - travel, although probably a seperate deal in the contract, mechanics, equipment and a pro-rata'ed salary over the twelve months. Stating the obvious I know but I thought it needed adding. But - if someone could answer the question about the next averaged riders then I would be able to offer a more considered opinion on whether he is over-paid or not!!!!

Is there anyone else on the forum still not heard a thing. Nikki is waiting for Gothenburg tickets and not heard a word. The good side is that we may persude them to swap for cardiff instead as we want better seats in Gothenburg. Anyone else out there still waiting for news

Or you could ask 'THE HAMMER' a regular on here to bulk order and send them across. Steve - 1 set please xx

agreed

definately. Be interesting to see how many - 'I missed my flight' there will be now, based on the fact they may have to travel further and at awkward times. Hope no one is too badly affected.

I believe everyone from this trip received a refund for the Gelsenkirchen tickets. These are additional and complimentary, thus they can do what they like and put you wherever they want. If however you wrote to them and stated you were REGISTERED disabled that MAY make a difference. Sorry Hansfan - not trying to be harsh as I think its a poor show - but I reckon thats the best you are going to get.

.........but arent they complimentary tickets. Not sure you can sue for somthing that someone is 'giving away'. Dont agree with what has happened though. It doesnt take a lot to give a little bit of consideraion.

For some people travelling to and from Poland this season these details, taken from an aviators forum, may be of use: The routes involved are: to Gdansk (2 out of 7) - from Bristol - from Liverpool to Katowice (1 out of 6) - from Bristol to Lodz (3 out of 5) - from Liverpool - from Shannon (still in talks) - from EMA to Poznan (1 out of 8) - from EMA to Szczecin (4 out of 6) - from Bristol - from Birmingham - from Liverpool - from Luton to Wroclaw (1 out of 15) - from Bournemouth. No reductions in Krakow, Rzeszow - Jasionka, Bydgoszcz. Probably the only one to worry about is the Poznan from East Mids. But nothing confirmed yet but worth keeping an eye on.

Congratulations Troy on a good win.

your memory does indeed serve you well.

I think when Seb comes on line he, and other Swindon fans will understand why I said bloke and pub in the same breath. BUt hey - it goes over other peoples heads and I apologise for that Squall!!! And as for Vog - what more did you expect!!

Some bloke in a pub!!!! That doesnt bode well for the future of British speedway if this bloke, in the pub, doesnt even know which round the team starts in!!!!!

Prague is one of the best GP's to go to for ease and convenience. We generally grab a cab from the airport (price agreed before getting in!) The main area which has all the pubs and town square etc is Praha 1 (Prague 1). Old Town Square is where the main bars and restaurants are. But a few things have changed over the last couple of years. In some of the restaurants there is a cover charge (per person) for sitting out on the 'pavement'! Also they now seems to be doing a charge if there is live music. A lot of the accomadation is around Wencalas Square - the maining shopping centre but with hotels all around. And if you do have the time the sites are wonderful. The Castle and scenery is wonderful. Enjoy

It's as it says in the title!!! Looking at what the options are for this GP. Flying into Milan probably and hiring a car so any useful suggestions would be more than welcome please. Do we stay in Milan or is there anywhere in the Terenzano area which I suspect would be cheaper. Many Thanks

As is Chris Harris. But any rider with ambition will be there. They strive to be World Champion. Ask all 15 year old riders what their ambition is and they would say - to be World Champion. And Star Lady - can I have some of whatever it is you are on please?!

Nothing to be sorry for. I personally didnt know him but he must have such a lovely guy as three diffeent people set up three different threads. Obviously a very popular gentleman and someone who will be missed by his friends and supporters

Hey Swine Town Very sad news indeed. There is already a thread on this news though here where many lovely tributes have already been made.
