  1. Have a good one... let me know what it's like at 7pm
  2. Only on a Monday or Thursday... unless the driver is also driving for Sainsbury's and they have to draft a driver in from Asda
  3. Seems like every club needs one as part of their management team now!
  4. They don't have to provide a highly tuned delivery van to work for Tesco though, they get provided with a standardised diesel van that will drive to the moon and back, that requires a service every 10,000 miles. Hmm... there's an idea, has anybody thought of standardised equipment for Speedway
  5. Nobody? Well that's wrong because I do... and I'm pretty sure others do too
  6. Was hoping for better tbh. Have to disagree about Zmarzlik though, he's certainly not sub standard. He's certainly top 6 material
  7. Just having a bit of fun with young @chunky but 6 out of 11 in one country is not fair
  8. BREAKING NEWS: Bartek Zmarzlik sent shockwaves through the Speedway world earlier this evening by winning a third consecutive GP, all coincidentally in his home country despite 2 mediocre performances at the start of the season in Prague. It now shoots the current World Champion back to the top of the standings. When asked to comment on tonight's proceedings @chunky fumed "This is unbelievable! Zmarzlik winning again in his home country it makes a farce of the whole competition! And Dominik Kubera 2nd this just goes to prove that @iainb was right all along." @iainb was approached but declined to comment.
  9. If you'd read my original comments you'd see that I said as much as I dislike forecasted postponements I'll have to accept that they are now part of modern day speedway. I don't think any match should be called off until the day of the event though
  10. What you (and others) don't seem to be able to get is that you can't run 2 leagues of teams in this country when they're allowed to call meetings off 3 days in advance based on a weather forecast without penalty. Whether the decision was right or wrong is irrelevant really
  11. To be fair we had biblical rain last Friday yet we had the race of the century the next day on the Saturday... preceeded by a load of crap admittedly
  12. I remember Les Collins donning his overalls at Blackbird Road and breaking the track record in heat 1
  13. Funnily enough... been there done that when I used to follow Cov, turned round at Gatwick, not ideal but something I accept as a Speedway fan with actual real rain... you know the wet stuff that falls from the skies Year before last... turned around at Carlisle when the Glasgow v Leicester final was called off due to wet rain, had the journey back in the Friday rush... then went again on the Tuesday! Once did a Good Friday a number of years back... KL in the morning, Cancelled, Ippo in the afternoon, heavens opened in the car park, off to Arena for an evening kick off, cancelled, went for Peterborough on the way home, rained off!! I'll never forget that day!
  14. We've already established that @bigcatdiary doesn't know what a good speedway race looks like.
