You taking a slow drive then. We setting out tomorrow evening - 10pm and hope to be in Gelsenkirchen for breakfast Saturday morning!! Only problem we now have to contend with is 100's of Englishman heading into Paris in the hope of finding a ticket for the Rugby final. And there was me thinking 1am train would be very quiet and relaxiing!!!!

Well if that is true and I hope not - does this now mean one of the reserves will take the ride. surel too late to call another rider in. Smoli Smoli Smoli

Thanks Haywood I feel happier knowing that. We book flights and hotels so early I would be really annoyed if they changed things

Got to see where they all are first!!!! Some suprises me thinks. But Cardiff will always be on the list!

I dont reckon its all down to members though - Travel Plus are advertising on another thread that they have a large number of rooms for sale. I guess that could be where many have gone!!!

That will do for us!!! As for the 'bib'. Go to 'My Controls' at the top (or near the top) of the page - right handside. From there you'll get instructions along the left handside. Change Avatar I think - then see if you can do it from there.

Thats where we will be. It was a bit strange last year due to the weather. There were groups scattered around at tables all over the pub. Normally we all end up outside in the gap bewteen the pub and WHS.

Hang on Shazzy - DO you know Scarsy?? Are they the sort of person we want in our hotel. Get your CV to us as soon as possible please

Our hats may be pink but they are a little different for this meeting. If you spot us you will recognise us - I promise With thanks to swerve racewear for their support!!!

Not now!!! sorry Colin - only joking!!!

oops - if it doesnt work out, let me know and Ill text you each heat as you stand outside listening to us all cheering!!!

Brill - see you there

Hazzman - it looks like they have. I went onto See Tickets last night and despite being informed that they wouldnt get anymore £30 tickets they seem to have more for sale again. And not just the singles as they were coming up with before. I asked for 4 tickets and it said yes. I guess I can cope with the additional £15 pr ticket we paid but I would be rather p***d off if I wanted a £30 ticket and ended up with a £75. Very bad form from IMG as far as Im concerned - sell out of limited tickets of all values then add in some more -RIP OFF!!!

Whats it like being perfect and superior!

Really hope you get it sorted skidder. Amazing you had to go for the £75 tickets when they are claiming low numbers - maybe thats why!! Some people wont or cant afford the £75 ones.

Thats based on the asumption that they booked them some time ago. Have you thought it possible they ordered them more recently

This is taken from Rita on another thread so if it is See tickets hope this helps.

Who did you order them through - See tickets?

I tried - I kept adding bits about next year. Its all her fault!!

Logistic master achievement makes Speedway possible Grand Prix The feverful preparations at the VELTINS arena are indeterminable in these days: Trucks drive clean and raus, innumerable humans are in the use. The most modern stadium of Europe becomes for the FIM Speedway Grand Prix on Saturday, which 13 October, prepares. The transformation of a spectacular football stadium into an engine haven place of the extra class is in full course. The stage for the spectacular high point of the world championship series, which FIM Speedway Grand Prix, prepared. 100,000 US dollar signs the winner of last running with 100. Speedway Grand Prix on coming Saturday in the VELTINS arena. The racing course for Speedway pageant is built since Monday mornings. For this 3500 tons of slate, which was imported from a special quarry in Denmark, in the arena were processed. As soon as the soil is put, a very fast course develops, on which the drivers complete the four rounds per running under one minute. The former world champion and present FIM Race Director Ole Olsen are responsible for the construction of the course. “If everything is finished, it the largest a daily course will be, which we built ever - and them will change smoothly into this fantastische stadium. We want to surely place that we offer conditions to the drivers, under which it to to the limit drive and one evening of full spectacular running offer can. When we had built the course in parking stadium in Copenhagen, all drivers that this was the best course, said on which them ever drove. Therefore we took and to have the lining from the same quarry from Denmark brought it here with the word.” Behind it a logistic master achievement stands. It began at the end of of August, when the lining in the Provesten quarry was diminished. In Copenhagen one shipped it on ships, from there transported one him over Rotterdam up to the Rhine Herne channel. The last piece of the transport of the Gelsenkirchener port took over 125 trucks. The marking of the course, the outside gang, which became interior delimitation and the Fibertex underbody already on Sunday installed. The lining with 15-prozentiger inclination in the curves was afterwards inserted thereafter. Here the large art consists of getting six per cent humidity into the strongly consolidated slate underground. “There is seven or eight per cent, the course would break open. If only three or four per cent were, the course for good running would be too smooth,” says Olsen. “We will completely have everything in time to training to be able to offer around on Friday and Saturday optimal conditions.” After completion the supervisors install and among other things still another electronic starter system. “If everything is finished and we a good job made, the VELTINS arena will in such a way look, as if it was built as Speedway course”, so Olsen schmunzelnd I'd like to say Im fluent in German but good old google translate this page works a treat!!!

Thank you. So can you answer the question if they haven't had their congress yet why have other motor sports under FIM announced??

Thats so last year darling!!! I wonder what creation SKY will come up with for 2008?? A random though but maybe a rider or two on bikes would be good!!!

He knew he couldn't compete with Mrs Bird, Mrs In the Know and me!! A very sensible option. I know is loads of months away but I cant wait already!!!
