  1. Please note: The local paper in Plymouth is advertising this meeting as taking place on Saturday. Please note it is taking place TODAY FRIDAY 6th October.
  2. Not read the whole thread, but surely there is one very simple solution. Anyone who needs a visa, MUST sign to say that the British club that sponsors them, will be their priority over any other fixtures, worldwide. Dont sign, no visa. Before anyone says about restrictive trade, etc, Poland do it, so why cant we?
  3. Best of luck to the Colts tonight. Hope they go on to win and complete a League and Cup double.
  4. The BIG one! The weather couldnt be any better for this time of year. Beautiful sunny day. The Final is FINALLY here. Plymouth last rode in this competition on 22nd June at Swindon! I know and accept there are a lot of complications that have led to this bizarre situation. Typical of British Speedway. After all but going out of business last season, the Devils have a great opportunity to grab some silverware . It would be rather fitting to win something for us, the long suffering fans. I dont always agree with our Promotion, but at the very least they DO answer any questions put to them.Sometimes its not what you want to hear, sometimes funny, sometimes deadly serious. No matter what is asked, it is ALWAYS answered. Very refreshing in todays climate. Of course, I am hoping for a good score from the Devils, the more the merrier before the return on Sunday. Its such a shame (genuine) that there are guests for both sides tonight. Mildenhall have been hit by Mountains withdrawal, and cant get a suitable guest. Matt Bates comes in at the last minute, with all due respect, isnt the same points machine that Connor has become. R/R for Halsey. Devils have Liam Carr replacing Boxall, with R/R for Compton. Followed by an SDL meeting too, all for just £10. Bargain! Teams as copied and paste from the Plymouth forum, see link below. TEAMS : Plymouth : 1. Adam Roynon 9.67 2.

  6. Hard to truly say, but I tend to think Lindgren being at fault from that footage.
  7. Best of luck to the Colts. If they cant win, keep it tight and finish the job at the NSS.
  8. Genuine question. Has any Club ever won a double double? Aces could win the League and Cup Double (as can Wolves, btw) while the Colts are in line for both as well. Unusual situation.
  9. The overall result was never going to be anything other than a Swindon win. Congratulations to the Robins, fully deserved. No good any Poole fans trying to make any excuses. Kurtz, Andersen and Shanes all worked hard for their points, but 3 men cant possibly win. Even when Poole took the lead it was more by bad luck for the Robins than anything else. You just knew they could step things up a gear, while Poole couldnt. Only thing that made me smile was the form of BWD. Not a fan of his, but it sure was a 2 fingered salute to Rosco for not including him on Friday and costing the Robins a chance of a League and Cup double. Hoping that the Aces get through to the Final. If they do, I will be there to cheer them on!
  10. Well done to Swindon.Never really in doubt. Score flatters Poole a fair bit,but hey ho,not our time. Too many passengers.
  11. Parked up and ready to go.No rain here, just damp. Up the Pirates! :-)
  12. Not raining in town centre.Heavy mist and damp, but no rain since 8am.
  13. Dont discount Ellis. He was flying on Friday at Belle Vue. A good bike length clear by the first turn. Probably the best Ive ever seen him. Just hoping for a decent meeting to finish of a superb weekend of racing. Hoping for a Pirate win, if not go down fighting.
  14. Hans is far from being a favourite of mine.To be fair to him, he is ALWAYS the first to congratulate others as was shown at Poole in the P/O v Swindon. Last night at BV,he was always looking at track conditions and advising others. Anyone would think it was his own team that just beat Swindon the way he celebrated. First rider on track to welcome Bjerre and Cook back after their heroics. Worth far more than the 5+3 he scored. There wont be anyone at Blunsdon on Monday with a bigger or prouder smile than Hans if Poole win. See you there on the back straight! :-)
  15. Really enjoyed my first visit to the NSS. Ok, so the track wasnt in the best condition, but did provide some good racing. Bjerre got filled in in Ht1, otherwise was excellent. Worrall seemed to be riding a 250cc, going backwards not forward. Unlucky with a chain breaking on the last bend while 3rd. Andersen was always up to something,protecting his partner with some expert elbow work! Tungate same as Andersen, always up there making life awkward. Cook rode his socks off and got a huge cheer when securing the vital points in Ht15 Bewley was awesome, totally belying his age and experience. Easily MoM. Hopwood outclassed. Kurtz disappeared after a storming Ht1 Ellis easily the best Robin. Got a couple of fliers, but looked very quick. Musielak started slowly, but got going in the end. Bellego, Ht14 apart, didnt turn up Morris always in the mix making life uncomfortable for the Aces riders. THJ....nuff said, waste of space. Carr steady but ineffective, Of course, with Doyle it may well have been different. Same goes for BWD. But it wasnt, so very well done Aces, great job tonight. Best of luck in the Final and in the upcoming Play offs v Wolves. Swindon are almost certain to beat Poole, so unless there a major shock, I hope you do the double.
  16. Lots of fans here trackside grumbling about the situation re BWD and THJ. Very damp,lots of track work taking place,but just about to start. Just for tonight I am an Aces fan! :-)
  17. Only a bit of drizzle a mile from the track, now stopped. Cant see it being a problem.
  18. Not sure what this has to do with speedway, but hey ho. Steve is correct. The actual origins of Bournemouth is Holdenhurst Village, out near Bournemouth Airport, (which is in Christchurch by the way!) So Southbourne is actually named correctly.
  19. A few years ago, the full name for the football club was the longest in the Football League Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic Football Club! Now shortened to AFC Bournemouth. Back to thread, best of luck to the Pirates. As things stand, I cant be there to support them. Have to see if work will let me have a half day on Monday. Be there like a shot if I do. Pirates have nothing to lose, where as Swindon have it all to do.
  20. I agree with you 100% This meeting only went ahead because of TV and it was a World Final. Coverage was good, no problems with Youtube at all. Just Sam and his awful commentary. I see they are saying shoulder problems for Drabik, which if true isnt good, but could have been a whole lot worse. The Final in Pardubice is now set up nicely for a grandstand finish.
  21. Looks like a 'Ive got all I can from British Speedway, up yours.
  22. Looked very fast.A mini Lindback.Nearly ran me over more than once doing wheelies on his push bike!
  23. Result of Semi Final 2. 1st Hellstrom-Bangs,13 Ernst 13, Flint 12, Breum 11, Lampart 10, Lorentsen 9 Lappi 7, Palmese 7, after 3 race run off for last 2 places. JPB went to hospital with shoulder problem after nasty fall in Ht1.
