Couldn't agree more mate

Made our own entertainment in the POW , before heading to the stadium at 5 to 5 . Wouldn't bother myself with all that singing nonsense when there's ale to be had .

Our coach was parked down near the parliament building . When i walked back to it after the GP , there was an army of traffic wardens swarming round all the cars that were parked on the grassy bits . There was also a big , fat , drunken English bloke giving them dog's abuse What a way to entend the welcome branch to visiters to your country . p.s . how was the hangover this morning SCB

Oh for christ sakes If they're all using them - what's the problem ?

They were only talking about " winding it all on " whatever that does . Must be important though as they mentioned it at least half a dozen times during each race .

Is there a point to this thread ? We've got Tony Millard , but you don't see any threads started about him ..................well on second thoughts

Depressing thread , but i suppose it could happen to any of us at any time . We've lived a charmed life in Glasgow as we are now operating out of our 7th home in my lifetime ( and i'm not counting the brief tenancy in Workington in 1987 ) . Probably the most nomadic team in British Speedway history , but we're still there and long may that continue .

It is . We always stayed in Newport , as we used to ride there on the Friday night , but found the traffic a complete nightmare trying to get to Somerset for the Pairs - hence the move to Bristol .

We stayed at the Ramada hotel last year .

No Drac , that's only our billet for when the Tigers are at Somerset . We either stay in Newport or , as we did last year , Bristol when it's GP weekend .

That's where we stay when we're down for Somerset v Glasgow meetings . Nice friendly wee place and you get a cracking breakfast .

I think it's a wonderful idea . Fixing it in would be easy too , as there are too many Tigers/Monarchs meetings anyway and the Spring Trophy could easily be consigned to the dustbin ( where that hideous trophy deserves to be btw ) . Would be a great curtain raiser , we could have one test each on both Scottish tracks .

Looks like the Rebels could have a star on their hands .

Brazil or Spain will win the World Cup

You jest surely young lady . They'll be back arguing which decade 1965 was in next .

What was it they were called then ? Was it Archers ? I know they were Invaders , but that was much later .

Great , we had a great time back at our hotel last year , thanks to getting there around tenish ( i think ) . Still plenty time beforehand for a few beers and catch up with people . Roll on July .

I'm quite sure if England find themselves in it , it will be a more relevant match than the final itself .

Which one

The best is yet to come . Once we have a Scottish GP at Hampden Park , that will blow all that Polish nonsense away .

Erm , i don't know any non-speedway fan who watches the GP 's . In fact i know quite a few speedway fans who have stopped watching the GP's , and it's got absolutely nothing to do with the amount of Brits competing .

Because they're Brits my boy . In the continued travesty of the two best candidates , Lee Dicken and Stuart Swales , once again being ignored - Woffinden and Harris have been installed as the candidates to show Johnny Foreigner how it's done .

I couldn't really care less as the GP's have become dullsville .
