Get the spiked tyres out and get on with it!

I love that bet!! Won me a few quid last season.

1. Jason Crump 50k 6. Nicki Pedersen 45k (captain) 7. Rune Holta 35k 12. Chris Holder 35k 13. Jarek Hampel 25k Cheers for running this again.

There's a surprise!

I'm sure the three times world champion will take your advice on board mate. Who can blame him at the start of a long season on a less than perfect track.

Is Ferjan riding then?

What a shame they will be a season too late to watch an Aussie win the world championship!

Lets hope so, he seems to be flying at the moment. Emil is the bookies favourite I think.

Double woosh! I'm just gutted I can't go, hope the weather holds off and you guys get a great meeting. (won by Nicki of course)

Rubbish line up, Nicki apart I wouldn't open the curtains to watch that lot...

Anymore.

Oh dear...

After Wimbledon closed the first time I drifted away from the sport completely. Although this period coincided with my "raving days" so whether I would have been going every week is debateable anyway! Got back into the sport when SKY started broadcasting and my first meeting back was at Brandon where I think Crump and Sullivan were riding for Peterborough against Cov. Wimbledon came back a few years later and I missed all but a handful of home meetings and done a few aways. I mainly follow Nicki in the GP's now but despite living 20 mins from Rye I can rarely muster up the enthusiasm to go, even gto cheer on the opposition. I will never be able to "support" another team it just wouldn't feel right.

"Len Silver did a great job with the track - he gave us a slick track on the first day of the season, which was important. There was some good racing" Jason Crump in todays Spar.

Agree 100%. Wise words as ever young Chris.

Not today they didn't mate.

Like I said you did nothing particularly wrong and fairplay for stepping in at short notice.

It's bleedin NICKI!!!! (not Nikki) Mr Pedant.

One other thing, a shame Nigel "British speedway" Pearson couldn't have done the announcing. Craig Saul was great as ever but the other guy just didn't have anything about him, didn't do anything particularly wrong but was just a tad dull IMO.

£15.00 well worth it just to see Nicki smoke the ginger one a couple of times. KK, Niels and Jonno! Impressed. Tai, Shields and Barker didn't. Highlight of the day probably saying hello to Zonkers and meeting KevH.

In the programme at a guess...

Weather looks fine for tomorrow, see you all there.

This thread is fascinating.

Agreed, I'm only going cos it's 20 mins up the road...
