Shadders

Rye House Rockets are unbeaten at home since September 2006.

Did young Tai take part in the meeting?

It's going to be difficult at the business end of the season with most of the PL teams fighting to get into the Young Shield or play offs.

Chris Louis comment before heat 9 was interesting. "There's not much dirt down as in a Swedish League meeting" Why was the track prepared differently? What would Ole Olsen gain from preparing a slick track?

Sittingbourne or ex Sittingbourne?

Can't think of many that will make the grade as possible GP stars of the future. I'm discounting Tai as he learned his craft in Oz. Adam Roynon springs to mind.

I think Snyper was refering to the lack of training facilities for Scottish riders north of the border. To my knowledge neither Scottish side has dedicated training for up and coming talent. I know Glasgow have second halves, but they are for established riders with a little more experience than I suspect Snyper has. This may explain the lack of Scottish speedway riders coming though the system

Home track advantage my ar$e

Thanks

Is the Cardiff photo of White City or Penarth Stadium?

I can see the advantage pricewise of an out of town hotel, but the disadvantages far outweigh the price difference in my opinion. I'd quite like to return to the hotel to freshen up, change clothes and have a "lie down" . And after all that at the end of a very long day, a five minute walk (10 minute stagger) back to your bed, rather than a rip off taxi ride to Newport or a 2 mile queue for the train. Thanks, but I'd rather spend a little more and have the convenience of a city centre hotel , especially since stopping smoking is saving me around £30 a week, more than ample to pay for hotels, GP tickets, food and drink for the entire weekend.

Couldn't get free entry to the Millennium Stadium?

I managed to book the last available room last night at 10pm in the same hotel we stayed at on Saturday, 10 minutes walk from the stadium, so well pleased.

I'm surprised you remember seeing as you've been skiving off for so long

I don't know what you mean DB..I merely meant that I tend to move about in bed a lot due to this bad back I've got from carrying loaded mail bags 5 days a week

On my other halfs lap top..not used to it

I just phoned and secured the last room in the Big Sleep Hotel where we stayed on Saturday. I read some poor reviews on an internet site, but to be honest we found it ok. The only problems we encountered were the lack of parking (the reduced rate at the NCP next door solved that) and the creaky beds, although again that wasn't a problem for us, only the neighbours Looking forward to it already

I heard a rumour he's down to ref the final GP in Germany, including the Super Prix final. $120,000 riding on the decision of this man.

I wasn't booing him either. The ref was clearly to blame for the exclusions. All the Poles around me were booing him. Does that mean he's thinking about not riding in Poland?

I have a programme from every speedway meeting I've been to since my first in 1985. I'm gonna have to spend £8+ to buy one

Oh dear. We had a guy who was off sick for 9 months..came back for a week just before Christmas and hasn't been seen since. Someone said they saw him recently and it looks like he's put on about 5 stone!!

I can't STAND em...Jellied eels AND Chas 'n Dave!!!

I do..every day when my alarm goes off at 5am!!

Our ain't arrived either!!
