Italian Grand Prix
philfromcov replied to ladyluck's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
couldn't agree more perhaps we underestimate the effort and cost to become established? for all the plaudits for holders season, his going to finish 8th with a gp win, pretty much identical to harris's first season (equal 8th!) what new faces have actually broke into the top 8 over the last 10 years? the russian emil, and thats about it? its essentially a closed shop -
Swc Final, Vojens, 31/07/2010
philfromcov replied to Mateusz's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
yes a dam fine effort, much better than the pugwash manager, which will be where all the negative comments come from. you cant blame bomber it is a team of five! thought he was outstanding and at last shows how to mix it at gp level, pitty we donr see it at brandon! -
Olympic Stadium Gp 2013?
philfromcov replied to philfromcov's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
with the best will in the world i go to canary wharf twice a week and if thats the east end then im a dutch man, no jellied eels to be seen! The east end around hackney & west ham are dangerous places to us who are not used to it! i have onlt eber felt unsafe twice in england once in sunderland and once around the west ham ground, whilst supporting england i might add. the locals pretty much threw us out of pubs -
Swc Event 2, King's Lynn, 26/7
philfromcov replied to Bagpuss's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
yeed it was great to see kings lynn on the big stage, considering all the aussies were track speciallist we did very well indeed. at least weve reached the final, more than australia, sweden, denmark & russia good to see th tesam doing the business on a non "trick track" pitty the finals at vojens! -
Swc Event 2, King's Lynn, 26/7
philfromcov replied to Bagpuss's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
makes you proud for a change, brilliant to see Nicholls back to his best. nice to see the aussies get a shock to there egos too! -
having just seen the Olympic stadium on the tele this morning, it looks like a large Torun. would make a great venue especially as its an oval and not a football square. could be good for the sport being in the capital rather than a "backwater" ... as far as london centric Tv i mean. have only been to the east end of london once, and have decided never to return can you "polish a turd?"

Cardiff Grand Prix
philfromcov replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
dont people complain about everything these days, half the forum complaining that not enough there the other half complaining that too many people causing problems, you just cant win. you have to except some bad beahviour in a 44 000 crowd if you had 44 000 police in a crowd half would be drunk and the other half would be stoned fighting each other! the reality is that a few people standing up (god forbid) and how dare they WAVE FLAGS shocking! a punch up on a Saturday night.... only 1 in 44 000 i call that good. take a walk down your local town center sometime you might realise how well the crowd is controlled! -

Cardiff Grand Prix
philfromcov replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
my only complaint? i printed off the race order before i went so that the kids could fill in the programme too! Imagine my surprise when after spending £8 for a programme i had to write the riders down myself! the web programmes were better than the real one, i wont make that mistake again! -
10th Year Pre Cardiff Entertainment
philfromcov replied to sportsnut's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
nope dont agree to that kind of stuff, i have my principles and i wont be swayed just because of 40 000! i you want to stand up like mind controlled sheep thats your problem, as i say i don't stand up for the british one either! the entertainment was very good... or it had the effect that the kids wont watch X factor again! when bombers on his GP bikes around brandon his normally miles ahead, just goes to show how poor the elite is! well done Mr holder, excellent to see someone determined to get to the top and still have a smile! -

10th Year Pre Cardiff Entertainment
philfromcov replied to sportsnut's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
to be fair: who actually goes for the pre meeting stuff? no one! if you were going to get any good no one could agree with that size of crowd! so why even bother. my biggest gripe is all the people standing for the welsh anthem, im not welsh so i dont! mind you i dont stand for th British one either as im not german! lets do away with pompus rubbish like this -

tickets just turned up! do they still have the young riders performing? -
the madness of the ticket system, is that im taking 2 kids so its cheaper to buy a family ticket for 4 and throw 1 away than buy three tickets, mind boggling!

philfromcov replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
is old people remember singing at speedway meetings, but then we had a crowd mentality then.. who remembers singing "when the red red robin..." shoot the b***tard shoot the b***tard for the swindon fans! -
can you still buy them on the day? thats how i did it the first few times, still not sure how many im taking yet so that might be an option, where do they sell them?
