  1. Ironic that the american air base Mildenhall has jets flying in 24 hours a day with noise that is a 100 times louder that a speedway bike .the US base is about half a mile from the speedway track
  2. Mildenhall Stadium could be forced to close after the Supreme Court awarded costs against them of £500,000 due to complaints about noise.
  3. The film was adapted from a 1902 story by W W Jacobs. Any sort of relation. The film was directed by Norman Lee. Alfie Bass was the Speedway Promoter but he only had a small part.It also starred Sydney Tafler
  4. Quite enjoyed tonights GP but the avantage of Gate One ruined it. Not one gate winner from the outslde. Now that cannot be fair. Anyone who got gate four twice might just have not turned up
  5. You missed the biggest sport taking place this weekend-The Tour de France
  6. elite league betting

  7. For me Majiec Janowski @ 16/1 but I shall not be betting. I am laying all the odds on Betfair for either win or place.
  8. Far better than the Grand Prix's even though we missed the first three heats. I wonder what people would prefer like as it was last night or a recording of the whole meeting from heat one?
  9. How can you have a world competition like the Speedway World Cup which is shown all over Europe on live television and not afford to pay for reserves for the teams. Correct that, there were reserves there but were not allowed to ride. Where is the money going for a three hour live programme. . The "Joker " idea should be chucked out immiediately. The riders are being paid a pittance for their skills . The time must come that money from TV and attendances should go back into Speedway., No wonder there is a shortage of riders. Even Sweden is now suffering from a drop,.they are even swopping their nationalities. For youngsters it's not just worth it with the expenses and such poor returns. You can earn more on a game show in an hour than all the riders would have done tonight.
  10. I think you will find that Chris rode on after the incident with the starting pole in Poland which happened in 2001. He actually rode for Ipswich up to 2008.. The incident that finished his career was the crash at Foxhall with Sam Simota.
  11. Sometimes boxing matches are completed with only !0% of the time used
  12. The problem is Speedway live matches should not be on television. Televising Speedway has done no favours in this country. The sooner it is taken off the TV the better. I would think the gates have gone down by two thirds since the Elite League has been on Sky.
  13. All Witches riders hitting form. Although a very one sided match there were some good races out there. Nic Covatti is getting better and better. Expensive night for John Louis
  14. Why don't you ask Belle Vue. When then move into their own stadium their race night will certainly not be a Monday. Years ago they always raced on a Saturday night but they only race on a Monday as that is the night the greyhound people will give them. For All entertainment Monday is a bad night whether Cinema , Theatre or any Sports presentation. How many football teams ever play on a Monday night unless it is Televised.. Was there ever a boxing tournament put on on a Monday night or a darts competition.
  15. How can the costs be kept down with two meetings a month. Do you think the landlord is going to half the rent. I would think EL racing on a Monday night there would be less star riders than there are now with poland on Sunday and Sweden on Tuesday. Besides Monday night is the worst night of the week to promote speedway.
  16. What a great idea for all clubs to race on a Monday night. With a live speedway match on Sky how many people do you think will be there. In less than a season every team would be bankrupt.Mind you it would get rid of guests if every team was racing on a monday.
  17. With the results this week it seems that Coventry are a far superior team than Poole yet the Bookmakers make Poole slight favourutes
  18. Go watcher a golfer play in a tournament and you will only see about 16 minutes of action in 16 hours Go horse racing and see about 8 minutes action in 3 hours Go greyhound racing and see 6 minutes action in 3 hours Makes Speedway seem jet propelled.
