  1. Annoyingly it has been looked at before but I believe due to the banking on the outside of the track on the backstraight and 3rd/4th bends its not possible. Admittedly I have a lot of Bias but I do think that Peterborough is one of if not the best race track in the country when prepared right and its a little bit gutting when you make a small trip down the road to the Greyhound stadium which has considerably better facilities. Their big problem is the showground though, they won't be able to get the showground to spend any money on the place and its very hard doing work on something which doesn't belong to you
  2. Nice of you to only quote part of that sentance to back up your point. I cheered because Rory got out of shape NOT because he fell off. I also cheered when Zorro pulled up to let Stead through and had done the same a few times at Peterborough this season when opposing sides riders have pulled lockers to allow one of our guys through. Just because a rider is out of shape or pulls a locker doesn't mean that they are going to fall off, Rory was just unlucky enough to pick up more drive when out of shape which flicked him off the bike. My views on the majority of young Aussies is fairly well documented and I stand by them but to be honest Rory is one of the few Aussies that I actually like and will get behind. He has always seemed like a good lad and not an arrogant little tool. I wish no rider injury, even the riders that I truly dislike of which Rory is definately not one.
  3. Actually I was referring to someone to the right of our group referring to us as "Disrespectful <unacceptable language removed>"
  4. I was stood with Silverbee and SCB and we were cheering for Tero all night, How could you not cheer for someone who is a premier league reserve riding in one of the biggest meetings in the world and actually mixing it pretty well? I admit that I cheered when Schlein got out of shape much the same way that I cheered when others did during the night (like Ward etc) but I didn't expect him to fall off the back of his bike and go into the fence like he did, The last thing I want to see is a rider get injured and a Panthers rider at that! We weren't cheering that Rory crashed, we were cheering that he let Tero through, Though unfortunately some very rude people jumped to conclusions and decided to yell abuse at us.
  5. How about Lakeside then? Small tight track and EL riders will have ridden it regularly. Frankly I'd rather see good racing and for the final 2/3s of the meeting tonight Kings Lynn provided it brilliantly much like Peterborough last season. There is no denying that with Crump and Adams riding it would have been a different prospect but the Aussie team was designed around Kings Lynn specialists tonight and the Brits did a great job of beating them.
  6. Absolutely fantastic meeting! I've got to admit I went into the meeting expecting the Aussies to walk away with it and for us to struggle to keep on terms with the Swedes but the Brit boys really stepped up tonight, If Harris, Nicholls etc had ridden like that at Cardiff then it would have been a much happier night! It was great to see the arrogant Aussies get knocked down a peg though, looking into the pits you could see Ward, Holder, Smith etc messing around while the Brits were actually getting their heads down and concentrating. Oh and I apologise to Rico if he thought the people on the 1st bend were booing him after one of his heats, we were actually booing the Aussie who was riding next to him (I think it was Ward)
  7. If you think Harris was bad for that then get ready for Holder, It wouldn't surprise me if he turned up for GPs with a hangover.
  8. Good start by the boys, can anyone tell me how to work out the lettering on the polish updates? What does each letter mean eg (3,d)
  9. Good luck to the british boys today! Should be a good meeting Come on Danny!!
  10. Congrats Nicki! To be honest after the first couple of Gps you could tell that it was gonna be his year as no-one could touch him! He was really something special this year! Hans for next year!
