I agree I'm sure some of the people who post on here work for the BSPA To many clubs with dog tracks, rugby/football clubs would close as all other sports take priority over nights available for speedway.

Is there a full riders line up or have I missed it

Plrc - Line Up
Daniel Smith replied to The Icicle Thief's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Doolan's not to worried about this meeting, from his own mouth "I'm gonna just turn up race my races and see what happens, all I want to do for the rest of this season is win the remaining trophy's for King's Lynn without getting injuries and I'm pretty sure Tom feels the same". -
Does this mean a few riders groveling team promoters for a team spot next season over here?? This is from www.speedwayworld.tv today IF Jaroslaw Hampel keeps his place in the Grand Prix series, he may be forced to leave Atlas Wroclaw, as each Extraleague team is allowed to have two GP riders only. Hampel may be exchanged with Krzysztof Kasprzak from Unia Leszno. "I have heard that I may be the one to lose my place at Wroclaw," says Hampel, who will compete with Jason Crump and Hans Andersen, who have very strong positions in the Atlas team. "The signals I had were very unofficial. No-one from the club has contacted me. We will surely talk after the season," adds Hampel. Jarek admits that he already had some offers from other Polish clubs. "Unia Leszno have contacted me," says Hampel. It is very possible that Jarek would go to Leszno and Krzyszof Kasprzak would replace him at Wroclaw. Kasprzak has always been a transfer target for Atlas bosses.

Gb Get Speedway Wc Final 2006!
Daniel Smith replied to Brightonbob's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Why do these events always have to go to EL stadiums. With all the improvements happening at King's Lynn and the best race track surface in the country it could be held there, semi's or final -
My view is that if a rider doesn't touch the tapes, why pull it back. It's all about getting the jump first. A rider creeping back or forward doesn't always get the jump first. Touch the tapes excluded, miss the tapes let it go, simple as that.

British Gp Reserves Named
Daniel Smith replied to Lioness's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Chris Neath Stuart Robson Must in my opinion be better riders than Kennett -
British Gp Reserves Named
Daniel Smith replied to Lioness's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
What's wrong with an old boy, I'd even pick Chris Louis in front of Kennett and I'd even pick Smithy as long as there riding well enough You need riders who could mix it up a bit and Kennett won't do that. You may laugh about Lanham but I though Kennett was just as funny. -
British Gp Reserves Named
Daniel Smith replied to Lioness's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Just looked at the EL averages and Stead is a good pick but why not Leigh Lanham. Seams to be going much better than Kennett so far this season Stead 6.50 Lanham 6.45 Kennett 4.63 -
Why couldn't team averages total up to the previous league champions averages i.e. 2005 premier league winners where Kings Lynn with 52.31 average 2006 every team can build there teams to that average and the league winners can keep the same team to try and deffend there title

Grand Prix
Daniel Smith replied to SpeedieGonzalez's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
If thats the case, why didn't they say the top 13 qualify for next years GP rounds -
Tickets already on sale, who's going and who has already bought there tickets
-
It could happen in theory, goes like this, We have 3 and a half thousand members on this forum, Everyone puts £1000 in the kitty = £3,500,000, Vote in a chairman as it would become a full time job, £2,000,000 on the build of the stadium, £1,500,000 to keep it running for the next 2 years after, Buy then should start making a profit and everyone then starts claiming there money back with interest. Sounds all so simple doesn't it????????????????????

Shoot me down if ya think i'm wrong here, but i'm getting jacked off with the Poole fans now. There were 7000 at the track tonight and there was a lot of support for team GB, but they must of been from Eastbourne, i spotted loads of Sweden flags, Ricko hats and shirts, do Poole fans actually remember where they were born.

GP Predictions Round 2 - Prague
Daniel Smith replied to Lioness's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Leigh Adams said from his own mouth a couple of seasons ago that, i'll never be world champ and don't have the gutts to do things on the track as the likes of rickardsson or crump, i see this sport as a bread winner for my family as i have young children now and can't afford to get injured and not ride. If i get in a sticky position on the track i'll back off but i believe in my ability to get me out the gate first and win my races without having to pass anyone. When i was in my young teen years all i wanted was to be world champ and i still do now in a way, but when you have a family your focus on life changes a little. For me, it's family first, my job second. I believe he is a world class rider, you don't finish top 6 in the world season in season out because he's a great league rider. comments like that are just as criminal as Nicki Pedersen taking out Greg Hancock and not being excluded for it. Shame on that referee. TV replays and still can't get it right, what next? -
sky will never pull the plug on speedway because of the G.P.s and the fact that they wouldn't want to lose the rights to any of there sports to rival company's.

Just thinking about the way ahead for speedway and was just thinking that if there was any way of getting the big football clubs involved and in which area's to do it. New Tracks And Stadiums:- CHELSEA, ARSENAL, SPURS, FULHAM (London Hammers) MANCHESTER UNITED, MANCHESTER CITY (Manchester Aces) NEWCASTLE UNITED, SUNDERLAND. M'BORO (North-East Beasts) LIVERPOOL, EVERTON (Merseyside Mayhem) CELTIC, RANGERS (Glasgow Tigers) HEARTS, HIBS (Edinborogh Monachs) IPSWICH, NORWICH (East-Anglian Stars) BIRMINGHAM CITY, ASTON VILLA, WEST BROM (Birmingham Bandits) SOUTHAMPTON, PORTSMOUTH (South Coast ?????) A small piece of clubs money would go a long way in speedway and i think it would create a hole new fan base. Speedway was massive in the 50's, 60's and 70's. Sleeping giant that just needs a good kick up the back-side springs to my mind.

If it comes to England there are only a hand full of top race tracks, notice i've said race tracks not stadiums. The quality of racing is more important isn't it. I'm sure alot of you will disagree for sure but i just want to see good racing on a good track,so, here goes, King's Lynn Swindon Peterborough Sheffield

Nicki P - World Champion 2003
Daniel Smith replied to Shortcrust's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
nerves getting the better of someone is called bottling it. CRUMPY BOTTLED IT. he missed the start, was easally faster than holta so maybe he should of sat back and waited but instead went for a gap that wasn't there. imagine what would have been said had nicki done that move, most people would have called him, let me think, dangerous, suicidal, reckless and of course, he's gonna kill someone. crumpy did what nicki does week in week out, ride his arse off. -
Nicki P - World Champion 2003
Daniel Smith replied to Shortcrust's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
i'm a massive pedersen fan and i'd bet a million mr wagstaff is feeling a bit :oops: :oops: :oops: . i'm also starting to believe that mr crump is a bottler. 3 years in a row at being 2nd, certainly making me wonder wether he'll ever do it. in my opinion he needs to win it a couple of gp's before the last, that will take the pressure off him. nicki bashers, swollow ya pride and choke on it.
