Why does it take so long to get organised. Last night I was told that all the other motor sports have announced their 2008 date and a quick look at the web site would indicate this. So why not ours?!!

Cant wait to see practice on Friday on this screen. Im sure we will all be in a postion then to see who looks good on this track and who doesnt!!!

Silly question but does anyone know if we are looking at bends 1 & 2 or 3 & 4? Just trying to work out where we will be.

Right Said Fred is the only reason Im going - Its my daughters birthday and she said she wanted to go to see a band on her day so we chose this. We may hang around for the speedway as well!!!

Now that one I will agree with. Mrs Know wins

This is so confussing now! Only ONE know. So is that Mr Know, Mrs Know or In the Know!!! Think Im gonna let this one go now as I dont think the brain can take anymore. I'll just wait for Cardiff next year and see what happens

I hear there will be a lot of Crump and Adams fans there that night as they have no interest anymore in a certain Rugby semi final now Does the world service cover sports commentary??

Think I have worked out who your are The Know - and yes I agree with everything you say and the six pack is to die for. Who needs in the Know when I can have the Know!! Oh dear - I hope I have it right!!!! (and I hope In the know doesnt read this!)

I obviously just hide it better than you!!

yes it does. Check out the other Gelsenkirchen threads - there is info on there about it. We staying in essen and I understand we qualify for it Edit- found it here

Good thought but the thing about Cardiff is its like the office Christmas Party. we all go to meet up and get smashed. I dont know about the scottish ones but Wembley will not produce the 'overall weekend' affect that we want You must be an absolute stunner then. In the know is drop dead gorgeous so I really need to meet you Mr The Know (please )

Rob Why dont you just troll somewhere else and leave this thread to those that are looking forward to Cardiff!! Ta

You still wouldnt get to the plate before Chivsy!!

Pete This was on one of the 2007 threads for Bydgoszcz. Im sure Matt will confirm all when he reads the thread

Its not Oz BFD its the other place!!! and it seems to be coming around very vey quickly

Shazzy - You have noticed that 'In the Know' is a different person to 'The know'. Tell me you noticed that otherwise I could be in big trouble with someone!!!

Hoping you re-booking that hotel next year. Or shall I just send a taxi for you!!!

Thats a shame. I dont think I have laughed so much in years. So many different reasons, but for me having sexy steve between my legs outside the hotel on the Friday night made me feel 10 years younger!!! And of course Trees arrive on the back of the AA van made us *safrican american* just a little!!! (sorry )

People have said how the Lodge is too expensive (not necessarily on here but in texts etc) but a Lodge Room for 4 @ £150 = £37.50 a person Travel Lodge @ £65 for 2 = £32.50 So not a lot in it and its a great hotel with bar and excellent rooms. Im more than happy with our choice and the company and drinking partners are the most important thing!!!

Good luck to Christian. Obviously I would have loved it to be Martin as we would have been cheering on three Bees but it was obviously a purely a selfish reason. So good luck Christian and here's hoping Lindack breaks a finger nail in his first ride, pulls out and Martin comes in!!!

Here here. Its always easy to be wise after the event!

With 1 heat to go Poland have secured the victory. Congratulations to the Poles but with the scores so close a huge well done to the British lads. The future of British speedway really does look good if you weigh them up against the Poles. Not so depresing as we may think Well done again Brits - hope you feel proud of your acheivement ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT - Final placings and scorecard: Polska 40 pkt. 1.

Billy J may get his GP place yet!!!! Go William!!!! Cool - eurodisney - when can we book. Why not go whole hog and hold it in Florida Disney. Now that would be good!! But Doctor - just make sure your travel insurance is world wide and not just euro. We wouldnt want to take any chances now would we!!!

Oh - no thank you BFD - You obviously havent met 21st Century!!!!! I agree in principle about taking the WORLD championship outside of Europe. My only concern is how this would be funded. The majority of GP riders use their Polish or Swedish bikes on the continent and those that dont will pack off their mechanics on the Thursday with their bikes. Stripping down two bikes and then crating and shipping them for a trip further away costs a pretty penny. That has to be take into consideration. Having said that I think the WORLD championship is just that.

Thank you - I couldnt remember if I went for the easy points in Nicki or take a chance wit the injury hit Leigh. But at least Scott made me a few points!!1
