Train tickets from Carlisle £261.00 Hotel Friday/Saturday £365.00 Hotel Sunday £110.00 (included breakfast and evening meal). Cardiff GP tickets £120.00 Food and drinks 0ver the weekend Somerset meeting on Friday £20.00 (plus programme/drinks) It all added up to over £1k. Ok i could have gone for two nights and not bothered to go to Somerset to save some money......

Still Undecided about whether to go next year, apart from the expense (over £1k for 2 people, 3 nights)it would mean taking 3 days A/L, thats if i can get the time off next year...?

Crying off, Scott Nicholls may have a very valid reason for missing the weekend (personal family reason?)too many people jump on a rider for putting family before the sport.

Agree, chill out guys.

Peter out for 3-4 weeks torn shoulder ligaments.

Hard to say whats the lay off for a dislocated shoulder, 4-8 weeks?.....bad news for Peter, Workington and Coventry.

Any news on Peter Kildemand, i did hear he was injured last night.

On Friday afternoon Greg gave a young fan a signed cap (after some other fan shouted down to the parking area to him) nice one Greg.

Did anyone else have trouble buying a programme for the GP, i left it late in the afternoon and by then were all sold out and did not see any for sale at the stadium? Will they be for sale in this weeks Speedway Star?

Is that the Wetherspoons on the main st in front of the stadium?

I agree..... Go Herbie!!

Sorry bit off topic but just watched the "Bomber legend"...clip, still fires up all the emotions, thanks Truebee. If Steady and King were fully fit and in form they could also have been in the frame.....i know all ifs and buts.

It was ..... notice the emblem in the corner...

Sorry guys it was a wind up.............

Ben Barker in Team GB,the guy is a PL rider with no ambition.

Disagree George, a fan or the ref should hopefully judge a race on the helmet colour/rider not the personality.....but we are all human!

I went to Copenhagen a few years ago, not for the Speedway though, as you say its not cheap but a good city to visit and the Carls Special is very nice.

Very good post.

I respect your opinion Phil but i disagree...

Heat 9 ref decision a JOKE......

Damn, will probably be at Derwent Park............

Great GP from Leszno, some awesome moves from the riders... Greg Hancock unlucky not to be in the final, hey but thats racing. Kolodez was very lucky to walk away from that high speed crash!!

Great season for the Buxton club, well done.

I do not think Tai Woffinden is not quite ready for the GP's, mabe in a couple of years, the trouble is once you are out of the series it's very difficult to get back in. He would have to rely on a Wild card nomination because its very difficult to qualfy with the amount of Poles and a few Russians as well who are coming through the ranks.
