False dawn

A dead heat in a GP.... Is that like a warm day in Cardiff?

Oh I think all the girls in the pictures are attractive. Which website were you looking at Philip?

Can you bring the matchsticks please, Sean?

I know, cos I was there. But we've analysed this to death and still I don't know how to pronounce his name. Is it Evan? or Ivan? Just kidding, Ivy, if you're reading. You are the best ever. This Swedish upstart is still thinking about driving touring cars because he's worried about the opposition. Sorry Tony. You know I think you're the best ever. (I hope Ivan's not really reading this). Time for bed, said Zebede.

Well, I and 19 forum friends (sorry, dear friends) are in M1 hopefully waving a forum banner between rows 12 and 14, If there is a row 13, heaven help them. We are going to be a bit of a nuisance. Sky, please note. We're busting a gut, so give us some air time.

And me [hic! - I'm not driving on Saturday... OR SUNDAY]

Sam's Bar from 2:00pm and then the Prince Of Wales from 4:00pm. Personally, as long as they serve beer, I don't give a chuff.

Oh go on. You can wear the flag.

Well I offered, but they haven't rung yet. 8)

Oh, my kids don't think I'm mad. They know. 8)

I'm hoping that Steve Turner will bring the one he made for the British Final last year. If he does, look out for 20 of the forum family waving madly on the middle tier on bend 1.

Are you psychic? I've just spent 10 minutes searching the TV listings for this. Sometimes CH4 put the highlights on two weeks after the meeting, but I can't find a listing for next Saturday anywhere.

Well said 21ch. Perhaps we should start a new thread called, "The most naturally gifted poster". You'd be in my shortlist after that contribution.

I'll try and find my programme from this meeting and give you the full story. I remember writing a report on it and thinking I didn't want to go to speedway anymore. But then I was a hot headed youngster back then. No, he's called Eric. Unless Nigel really is making a very rare visit to England.

Who could. He single handedly caused the whole Coventry team (except Nigel Boocock) to walk out of a league match at Blackbird road.

Do you think we could sneak into Blackbird Road and knock down a few houses to make way for a new stadium? You know I've gone through Coventry/Cradley, Coventry/Wolves and even a bit of Coventry/Birmingham. But there will never be a rivally like Coventry/Leicester. I bet if Ray (Wilson) could be pursuaded to manage a side in Leicester, Nigel (Boocock) would come back from Oz.

Well I'd buy an advance ticket just on the off chance you might run this meeing again. The very best of luck on this and your other ventures.

How would it be if Wimbledon ran this meeting now? The alternative World Championship for the many lovers of the one off finals. I wonder how many people would turn out to see that one? An interesting experiment?

I heard that Tony had, appropriately, switched to Classic FM.

Neil Collins is the only one I know who has always worn one and is still riding.

Don't worry Sir L. I've been posting the odd pic (*) for a while now and I think I got away with it. Track extension? Crickey, I've raced on smaller grasstrack circuits. (*) So who's going to have fun with this then?

I used to make the trip to Blackbird Road every Tuesday when I was at University up the road in Loughborough in the 70's. Two of us used to travel on the Loughborough Speedway Supporters coach and we'd support the opposition every week. How many sports could you do that in and get away with it?

There will more GP's. Sorry to be boring but your education will stand you in good stead. Believe me, I know.

Come on CHK, I thought I had exclusive rights on talking to myself. 8) Really Fd? :?
