  1. 15 riders so they all start equally, so have a 1 in 15 chance of winning, Say for instance in the 1st round of heats in the 1st GP Lindgren, Woffinden, Madsen and Zmarzlik all got injured and were out for the season. You could say its highly unlikely but stranger things happen so who would win the World Title then ? I can tell you who will, one of the others ! but nobody knows which one, just as nobody knows who out of the 15 will win.
  2. Surely Martin Smolinski has a 15/1 chance the same as everyone else in the field. To write off anyones chances before a wheel has been turned is just plain daft, even moreso in the current circumstances.
  3. Having all the rounds in Poland could have a detrimental effect on the Polish riders as there will be so much pressure on them to win
  4. Moggo was worth the admission money wherever he rode, Great racer
  5. As much as riding at a technical track such as Newcastle 2 - 3 times a season would be for Dan Bewley i reckon 2nd or 3rd tier in Poland would be far better for his long term career in the sport
  6. Is'nt part of the reason for going to Warsaw that the city is not in a speedway hotbed so may attract spectators who have never witnessed live speedway in the hope that the Polish can maybe expand their leagues further.
  7. You're taking social distancing at a GP to a new level. Best of luck with rolling your tickets over to next year
  8. Whoops completely forgot about the curfew issues at Sittingbourne, but there again maybe the carrot of a televised World Championship event even with no crowd could tempt the council to relax the rules.
  9. Gordon Kennett is a top bloke always prepared to have a chat
  10. Will Brady and Manning be throwing the ball instead of hitting it ?
  11. If nobody, or very few booked their flights they would then read their reviews etc and the airlines customer service would no doubt rapidly improve.
  12. Ron Preston was a rider who i thought had a big future in the sport
  13. Cardiff university website has an accomodation section, you contact them through this and they email you the link for booking, Cheapest rooms are shared bathroom for a couple of quid more you get ensuite Heather12 i've PM'd you . If you still follow an active team or TBH an inactive one i can pretty much bet that you know someone who stays there or has stayed there. I booked for 18 people back in 2013 and we bumped into another 20 odd from Oxford staying on the same campus
  14. But that's the way of the world. Anywhere you go if there's a big event on prices rise. This year we booked to stay at the University again, we have stayed in numerous hotels in Cardiff in the early years and got fed up with the rip off prices, obviously at this time i don't know how we stand regarding refunds or maybe rolling the booking over to next year. Lets be honest there isn't going to be a GP in Cardiff in July unless there's some radical change in circumstances in the next 2-3 weeks. We've stayed at the university for a fair few years now, it's basic but clean and handy for getting into the City Centre. At the end of the day we're a group of blokes so it suits us down to the ground. Last year we went down the Air BnB route and we paid around £80 each and to be fair it was a nice place in Penarth and the locals in the pub around the corner gave us good advice on getting into the City Centre quickly and cheaply. We only stay in Cardiff on the saturday nowadays as make a weekend of it by going to the Pairs on the friday night and staying in the Vegas of the West, Burnham on Sea on the friday night
  15. Had an email from Premier Inn earlier, not that i have booked with them for Cardiff weekend, They have now done away with their No Refund/Changes booking terms and now have 3 options Flex. Semi Flex and advance. Anyone with a booking on a Non Flex booking will be automatically changed to advance. This gives the option of cancellation upto 28 days beforehand and booking can be amended upto 1pm on day of arrival. Semi Flex gives option to cancel upto 3 days before and can be amended upto 1pm on arrival day. Flex can be cancelled or amended upto 1pm on day of arrival
  16. Martin Goodwin was the other rider, he must have been made of India rubber i saw him have many a spectacular get off and he was generally ok afterwards.
  17. Richard Juul came back a couple of seasons later, was very tentative in his first ride but after that was back on the gas, Fair play to him he's got intestinal fortitude as they used to say in the WWF.
  18. That happened at Oxford early 80s in a challenge against an Italian touring side. One of the Italians fell and his helmet came off, they said at the time it was due to his helmet having a chin strap instead of a strap that went under his chin.
  19. Should have been called The Don as it was at Oxford that he came of age
  20. I'd have no problem with a 5 or 6 round GP series behind closed doors in Poland for this season only, but lets make it really interesting and riders bring their own rolling chassis and draw lots for standard engines. Lets see who the best rider/racer there is not who has the best tuner provided trickbit.
  21. Serious questions need asking of the site security or lack of it. How can a building be set alight in broad daylight during the current lockdown. Anyone in and around the site should stick out like a sore thumb.
