it certainly isn't a "UK wide Speedway Photographers WhatsApp group", just a clique

The apps I used for the scooters were Lime and Hive .. just waiting at airport to come home but must have done around 25 miles on scooters this week

Scooters are fantastic, great fun getting around the city .. I admit they’re a bit of a menace, but using them is great. in Warsaw for another 2 days and will be using them a lot

it starts out like that Phil, but gets far worse, trust me

i'm sure if the team wasn't producing the goods and Neil & Ged were in charge something would have been changed before May 1st

Warsaw is my favourite GP by a long way, i love the stadium and the city is wonderful for exploring. next week is my 3rd time there and i can't wait

i think the only thing Buster is guilty of this year is trying to make the sport more financially viable. by setting strict pay caps it means the clubs are run to a proper budget and don't overstretch themselves, something that's been needed for many years, and by now having 3 teams it means nearly half the league adhear to that, instead of just 1 team each year. if the other teams followed suit then it would get rid of a lot of the "will they run won't they" every year ... ok, so there will be some riders that won't ride here, but surely it would then show who is bleeding the leagues dry without getting extra income on the terraces to cover that.

i'm an insomniac so only 2 more sleeps for me

you have to remember that there was a T Balfe sponsorship package in place while Ged and Neil were there, maybe this was to balance a few things

it all looked so promising in January ....

i've done 2 nights, 4 nights, and this year it's 7 nights, so much to explore

and Arena Essex

around the stadium it will be quite busy, and some of the bars on the city side of the bridge will be busy as well as the old town. we go into the old town after GP, some places will be buzzing. Warsaw is a fabulous city though, so worth a look around instead of drinking

does that mean they ran out of riders to try to sign?

my dad rode for South London Rangers at Garratt Park in the early 60s, will have to show him this next week when i see him, see if i can get any names.

when Kings Lynn had Topinka as their captain through the PL days the team really were a TEAM, the spirit in the pits lifted everyone and also had a lot of teams beaten before the meeting started

how was the racing? maybe buster is listening and trying to improve that?

to be honest, i wasn't actually told, i asked the question end of February as i had suspicions, to be told they were all sorted same with Peterborough too, not told anything until someone mentioned they heard i wasn't doing it anymore, so i asked and was told not needed. that's life, there's other things

not needed any more

snap

maybe Ged built a team that HE was going to track with the backing of T Balfe? Ged went and T Balfe went, leaving the shortfall? just a guess

i remember, maybe 5 years ago, at Kings Lynn all the riders had to have "Roger Warnes Transport" on their fork cover, but one rider refused. when i asked him how he got away with it he said "well if they want me to ride ...." so it's been done in the past

sad news
