that little bar outside doubles its beer price on the day! on thre practice it was 40 pence a budvar, it was almost a pound on thre day shocking!

just booked a golf and spa resort on the edge of cardiff 4star £66 quid. they wont know what hit them taking my girlfriend this time as she was so jelous of my drunken phone calls from Prague

im sure its just appeared on the BSI web site

if thats the case then i would wish to annonce my engagement to Julie Bradbury

actually i made thise bands up on the friday afternoon, does that mean ther correct?

next answer please... if you ar in the PL with an average of 6.99, you are rated grade 3 if you move up to the EL do you become grade 1.5? or grade 1? if the answer is the later you could get rusty harrison as a grade 1 rider

is there also a maximum of 13 points for heat leaders then? i havent heared that one?

on another point, if you have three riders with a grade of 2 does this mean you could choose which rider takes the reserve berth? or will underneath all these grades, averages still take precendent?

Ok, the realities the, present squad hamill 5 janirro 4 Richardson 5 Robson 3 jonsson 5 fisher 2 Bunyan 1 equals 25 lose 6 points (ok not saying this is going to happen!) best possible squad Jonsson 5 Fisher 2 Stead 3 Robson 3 Janirro 4 Bunyan 1 Risager 1

ok six grdaes 11.00-9.67 6 9.66-8.33 5 8.32-7.00 4 6.99-5.67 3 5.66-4.33 2 4.32-3.00 1 maximum 19 points

doesnt seem to have helped coventry much over the last couple of seasons!

just been looking at this wrt coventry we have 25 points, so we would lose hamill Robson and be replaced with two 1 "point" riders ie below 4 average giving you an idea Richardson another (sub 4.00) Janniro Fisher Jonsson bunyan another (sub 4.00) also the points between the leagues? would they be doubled/halfed?

you seem to know whats going on? do you have a hot line? and a grade with only Jason Crump in?

What has occured to me tho is that the grading will have to be last years top 10 and not based on averages (see prvious comments) however for this to work it would imply that the top 10 must confirm that they will all ride in the elite before the next grade can be completed. effectivley the top 30 of last year are guarenteed a team

This depends on the averages being used, which is a topic in itself! But the ones on this web site give 9 Richardson 8.76 10 hamill 8.72 13 jonsson 8.47 22 janirro 7.26 However if we would have to lose 2 of the 4 then i would without question keep Jonsson/Janirro

Ill amit it IM A FAN OF RIDER GRADING! Why? because the elite is too small with samll minds who just want to keep all the assets to themselves but have two extra teams to thrash at home with Ipswich almost like a british league cup team and then swindon and reading if we keep the present system, what top riders will they get? not many, so unless they were guarnteed top riders they wouldnt come up! I suspect this is the same for Ipswich. you either want an elite league or you dont, stop complaining. The premier league clearly doesnt want our teams, so its this or nothing! i would assume the top 10 riders are graded next 20 until you get three bands of three heat leaders, the rest is up to you! Although confused about which averages they will be using, but if you take the ones posted on this site Top 10 Jason Crump Leigh Adams Scott Nicholls Greg Hancock Ryan Sullivan Peter Karlsson Tony Rickardsson Nicki Pedersen Lee Richardson Billy Hamill So only Poole and coventry will have to lose a number 1. I dont think the grade can be average based ie above 8.50 is a grade A, because ther are 12 and that would imply 2 couldnt ride, restriction of trade its illegal, so it would have to be the top 12 averages. Althogh i can see many problems, ie if one of the top 10 above decides not to ride then number 11 will effectivley become grade A (MMAX) causing break up of teams due to other riders not coming back!

i dont think prague can hold that many

just realised why the polish fans sing about Tomas gollob to the tune of yellow submarine..... because he sinks without a trace! :twisted:

i ment julia bradbury sorry. I wish to make it clear that I never saw JULIE in the buff, this was a typo and one for which i appologise........ unless of course your offering! funnily enough i once did the full monty for charity and got 23p!

well thats a Falkirk Fc shirt for me, thats the coolest sponsor! and yes i have drunk it for many years paying a premium in the bottles, so it was nice to be able to afford a budvar bath, if you so wished!

all the budvar was away from the town square and mainly in me! two minutes walk and it was down to 15 krone!

full throttle, it was nice to see JUlie in the flesh so to speak, very quite, anyway i will pop round on monday and say hello

I'd love to come and see the dumps whereever your from???!! Marketa a dump!? It's the best place to run a GP, it has the big city like you'd find at Copenhagen etc.. But also a proper speedway surface like Bydgoszcz. It's everything you want from a GP all rolled into one in my opinion. PS - Going back next year for my 3rd Czech GP. what i meant by "dump" is not the city, most tracks in the Uk have better facilities than the Marketa, certainly the argument that coventry is not fit to hold a GP doesnt hold water, perhaps because i went to the practice, when you can see the stadium in its "glory". what im trying to say here is that if that stadard of stadium is acceptable to BSI, then lets go backl to proper tracks!

it seems that way, GP isnt a great advert for the sport. its a great event and i will go back to prague next year, the GP is run for Tv nothing more, very few armchair potatoes will make the effort to go. Even in the Uk the attendance at Cardiff was down on the previous year, a triumph of style over content! less gp's not more british polish swedish norway (as it can be run outside the season) Prague (even if the stadium is a dump)

hey lets get real here. Prague being an example, if it wasnt for the brits/poles & swedes there would have been little more than 200 in the stadium. The Gp's relly on travelling fans, there was no advetisment in prague. Plus a seat at Prague was the equivalent to a months wages over there, your not going to get any new supporters
