Italian Gp Terenzano
Speedy swindon pete replied to nbaynes's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
rofl @ zagar.....great stuff. -
why is bridger still doing this ridiculous leg thing. it looks like hes trying to joust the opposition. he looks fine going into the bends, but as soon as he takes his right foot off the peg, you can see the bike squirming about all over the place. so frustrating. has middlo got a nail gun over there? could just pin bridger's foot to his peg and he'll fly.

Copenhagon 2011

dont understand why nicki doesnt just try and stay on the bike, why fall off and take the risk of being excluded. he wouldve easily got second if he just backed off a bit and cut back.as far as im concerned lindback was in front there, by a long way. -

Elitserien Round 2
Speedy swindon pete replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
after a turgid start, theres some cracking racing going on here...mallila is always a brilliant track. the irish chappy much better today also, quite a quick learner he seems! well done to him. the dealy between the match and broadcast is really working too with the long waits edited out...nice flow too the racing. -
Elitserien Round 1
Speedy swindon pete replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
trying to be diplomatic as the chap obviously doesnt know too much about speedway......but god this commentary is painful. he's still getting Janowski and Davidsson confused! argh! -
Grigory had exactly the same problem in the Criterion of Aces match at bydgoszsz at the start of the season.\ looked massively fast, kept getting to the front from behind, and would then have an EF once he'd hit the front. i think he had 4 EF's out of 5 rides! he wouldve won the meeting comfortably if he kept his positions....such a shame, brilliant rider to watch.

Why No Second British Gp?
Speedy swindon pete replied to BARNES's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
thats the one, small place...not much going on... wembley doesnt have the immediacy of the centre of town right next to it, like cardiff has though. cardiff you can stumble out of the shopping centre / restaurants / bars / pubs and straight into the stadium, and then do the journey in reverse after! wembley has nothing like that without getting on the tube or bus. -
Why No Second British Gp?
Speedy swindon pete replied to BARNES's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
i think if the new Belle Vue stadium materialises in the coming years, with the facilities they say it will have. i can see a second GP being held there. Much smaller crowd than cardiff, but still a healthy number (7000-10000 guess). but much cheaper to rent out, track already in place and with decent facilities. other than that, cant see one happening, wembley too expensive alongside cardiff, plus theres naff all there near it! -
Leigh Adams' Cheerio
Speedy swindon pete replied to BigFatDave's topic in International World of Speedway
First chance i've had to make a comment on this meeting. me and a couple of mates decided to make the trip from the UK to Leszno especially for this meeting after all the Bydgozsz tickets had all sold out, and we were all very glad we did make the journey. what a cracking weekend and cracking meeting. my first taste of polish speedway in the flesh so it was all very new to me. firstly, what a stadium it is in Leszno, stunning bowl all seated with perfect views of the track from every single seat. i knew the track was very good before heading out there and it didnt disappoint at all on the sunday. If only we had the combination of beautiful stadium and cracking track in the UK. (hopefully the proposed BelleVue site will offer a similar experience. The fans were all superb aswell, i knew leigh was massively popular there but wasnt expecting a 10000 (at least) strong crowd. brilliant. and the chanting and singing were superb, i wish british speedway meetings had an atmosphere like that. although it would be great if the stands had a roof to keep all that atmosphere in (like torun). I was amazed by the amount of respect every single person in the stadium had for all the riders and demo riders too. everyone getting to their feet and clapping every time Jarmula (what an entertainer) or even little Declyn passed. As previously said, racing was cracking and was a real treat to see Leigh fly round his home turf out there, something ive wanted to see for many years. Meidzinski just reaffirmed why ive wanted him back in the swindon side for the last couple of years, the boy is class. Janus was fantastic too, shame he had to pull out, and of course Leigh was really winding it on all meeting. Heard alot of good things about Pawlicki's younger brother, so was good to see him get a spin, he really does look classy for such a young guy...like a half pint version of Leigh! other highlights were Jarmula taking one of the start girls round the track on the back of his old bike, only to open up the taps and nearly spit her off the back of it at high speed...dont think ive heard such a loud collective gasp around the stadium as she clung on for dear life Janowski doing stand up wheelies after his last ride was brilliant too...trying to make it round the 3rd and 4th bend still stood up wheelieing, then to decide that it wasnt such a good idea after all, dropping it and slipping off, classic. just one thing for anyone that was there that spoke polish...what was the big reaction about when Hampel was speaking on the centre green at half time with the Leszno manager(?)..? all the young girls (in which there were loads on the back straight) positively squealed in delight a couple of times as Hampel was on the mic. was it about a contract for next season or something else? We're already planning the next trip out there, it was that good. I'd strongly recommend anyone thinking of going, to enjoy a weekend out there, it was superb, poznan is a great city to stay. Cheers Leigh for a cracking meeting, those poles really do know how to send you off in style. -
