I don't think so. this has nothing to do with Neils association with his Team GB managierial position. Nor while we are at it, his position as Poole manager before anybody starts digging holes...

Really...

So am i somewhere, but where is the question?? As i said, i would be very suprised withstanding other companies screening the GP's that Sky don't do the British as a one off.

Its all on the christmas cracker thread, on shared events..

No value whatsoever.. Not saying he'l win it, but Anton will go well next season.. Certainly top 5.

Shergar PARKED in the car park. Shergar was a horse, not a bloody car...

Very nice. Unfortunately, that is the state of this country today, Its called i couldn't give a Monkeys...

16 Speedway superstars, where? Superstars is an over used expression. We have a Grand Prix series, why the hell would riders want to take on more. The schedual is already over the top... What a load of rubbish. Really, that i would like to see. Believe me, it won't happen...

Maybe because you can get a deal to watch 1-2 on your laptop i believe. So the answer to that question is, put the GP's on one or two... Simples.

Although all this said, im very very suprised that Sky will not do the British GP as a one off in the series, given its actually in this country... Yes i can understand if they don't want to renew their contract due to cut backs, But they will feel the wrath from speedway fans, and i do feel they would be cutting their nose off to spite their face by not at least showing the British GP.

Nope....

At 7/2, no value to my mind.

So mr Sky from Edinbourgh, it seems the majority on here are going to cancel Their Sky subscriptions because we have no GP's this year. I don't have a dislike of Sky, but you certainly have a general consensus on here now!!

Keep sleeping mate!!!

This is starting to make me larf. Electric Speedway Bikes... yeh right, ok...

And smell that has never dissapeared or been any different. Can see it now, Boffin, ang on a minute, i'l just un-plug the bike, and start it up... Whuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Promoter, Jeezs, thats quiet, Boffin, its Electric. Only one small drawback, when you finish a race you have to plug it in to a socket to charge it up for the next race, just hope nobody breaks the tapes and goes off 15 metres or comes off!!

The voice of reason...

Ang on, Brakes and Headlights as well. Don't forget the indicators when riders turn left!!!

Then your very easily pleased. Speedway should be Speedway, no subtitutes should be allowed.

Ow gawd, don't give the Boffins any more amunition.

Question has to be asked, how do the rest survive!!

Might be looking good at poole this year then!

You do make me Laugh sometimes...

Sadly thats is more to the point. In todays climate people now pick and choose their meetings. Sadly gone have the days where we at poole had 6 deep on the bends in the early 70's, although we still get good crowds for this day and age, and the racing can still be very good, but the crux of it is all round cost. I still say promoters need to make more of an effort to attract kids through the gates, and a little more of a concession for the OAP's, maybe the same addmision price but chuck them a programme. What i will say is our riders are very accomodating when it comes to the kids, and sign Autograpghs have photo's taken at will, and talk to the kids, But with rising costs in fuel addmission programmes Speedway Star and food,etc its now sadly out of reach for many fans to attend every week. in a day and age where speedway needs all the fans it can get.. Oh, and i nearly forgot. Then there's them rules!!
