Very sad to hear the passing of a speedway icon.God bless Malcolm Simmonds.

Depends how long you've been in the sauna with only a fig leaf to cover your knackers!

Very much so Sue.Having been at the meeting at Wroclaw,it's something that doesn't leave you.

It's 2 years ago today since Lee Richardson lost his life.Still remembering.

Could well be true Dave.I've never seen HT at a speedway meeting wearing proper trousers. Same could be said for his footwear attire too!

The Brewhouse (was it called The Ship a few years ago?) at the far end of the High St is a class boozer,and Pirate Nick used to work there too.

Recommendations for a few before heading to Newcastle Speedway would be Cumberland Arms,Free Trade Inn and Cluny,all in Byker and all real ale pubs.

The Victoria.Is it still there?Hansons Mild was a beer to leave home for,and the cheese and onion cobs were a treat too!

Which is the best track you have been to? Bydgoszcz - When they get track prep.right,the speedway action there is superb. Ostrow - Sensational speedway track (just ask Peter Karlssons' view on ul.Pilsudskiego) Which is the worst track you have been to? Armadale(apparently it's called speedway racing!! ).Apologies to any Monarchs supporters by the way. Wroclaw-I saw a rider lose his life there. Which has the best food you have tasted? Scunthorpe -Home-made steak pie(recommended by Mick Bratley ) takes some beating. Dudley Woods' - Pork and Stuffing Sarnies.Absolutely bostin!! Which has the worst food you have tasted? Economy burgers at Stoke,which I actually refused to let my dog eat! In terms of facility's ie toilets, seating, access which is the best place you have visited and worst? The best:-Torun.Does any regular speedway venue come close to the MotoArena? The worst:-Stoke.A work colleague of mine painted the ceiling in the bar 30 years ago,and it has been touched since!

Bedtime Tory!!

Who said kerb crawling doesn't pay!!

They should have asked you or Uncle Baz to do the Lynn season preview in my opinion.

24 cans would last you a year!

ZG bought over a delegation of club officials to look at track preparation back in 2010 as the club were looking into staging a GP.They were at the U21s World Team Cup at Rye House,but after witnessing the track after 4 heats,most of them ended up in the Rye Tavern next door!!

Please send me a pm,as I've been Torun a few times in the last 2 years,and can help.

Doug,that was something I questioned with Smoli yesterday as regards a GP in 2015 in Germany(info taken from this forum).He was sure there'd be one in 2014.

Always thought that BSI were looking to expand the GP series?

From what I heard yesterday Ghostwalker,the GP would be an extra round on the GP series calendar.Let us hope that this happens.

Speaking with Martin Smolinski yesterday at Birmingham Speedways Civic Reception,and he is sure that there will be a speedway GP staged in Germany next year.He reckons there will be an announcement regarding this within the next few weeks.

Been there and no I don't want to go again!

And this is why he's a legend in Torun:- The approach to the Marian Rose Moto Arena is named after him too Actually Tom,you can re-live that moment in 1990;_ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O3ij8AnGJU

One of the finest speedway riders i've ever witnessed in 40 years of watching the sport!

TYLKO FALUBAZ!!!!!!

From what I saw of DB last night at Swindon,and the company he beat,hes got every chance.Very impressive!

Can Foxhall stadium have their heater back too?
