Cracking race hope you recognise how lucky you are!!!!

Have to agree I spent just over 10 years watching Wolves before we came back and the racing most weeks was awesome. I remember getting home and babbling on about it to anyone who would listen to me. I haven't been to watch the Wolves as much in the last 8 years but when I have it hasn't been as good. Agree I'm not a regular so could have just been unlucky with the meetings I chose to go to

Hiya Vince when I said the standard of riders has gone down I meant over here, I totally agree with you that the top riders are the highest it's ever been. How they do what they do on the rocket ships of today il never know. Sorry not to have been clearer

Tbf the core product hasn't changed but the standard of the darts players has gone up massively overall whereas the standard in speedway has gone down. Massively

And me lol, I switched my broadband to bt 12 months ago but only got the first 3 months free, I'm looking forward to calling them to renew my contract. If I'm not happy with the deal I'm tempted to tell em to stick it. Trouble is I want the speedway. Just had Virgin cable down our road so am tempted to ditch Sky as well but I've heard bad reports on Virgin with prices going up while in contract. But they all seem to do that anyway

I might be able to get a better deal in May for 18 months instead of 12 to cover the 2018 and 2019 seasons. Then again they put the price up even if your in a contract. Had a letter today saying when I'm out of contract there's a £6.75 a month charge ontop of the usual cost

Thanks for that I'm going to phone in a couple of weeks il let you know how I get on

That will probably happen

My broadband and sport contract is up mid May, has anyone negotiated a deal with them lately. Broadband is the 52mb one I think it's called infinity. Seen in the paper it's £24.99 for new customers, surprise surprise I pay more than that by nearly 50%. I had a good deal when I started with them. I'm paying £10 for the sport, it's just gone up from £7.50.

You can't blame the star for non delivery this week it'll be chaos for delivery companies, I'm expecting something today if it doesn't come so what it'll get here sooner or later

Speaking as an outsider I've been to Poole and Swindon many times and always enjoy my visits but there's no way you can compare the racing to the NSS . Or Somerset and Scunny which are my top 3 tracks

You can get an injury shopping a washing machine, my poor back

Anyone think that the majority of races put on there are rubbish

Thanks for advice il bear it in mind, been with sky years so il phone in a few months and have a rant

Il have a look when I'm out of contract but I'm paying a lot more than that for just one room, old sky box and no extras except sky and BT sport. No movies , box sets , hd etc. Thought I had a good deal at the time

I've just had a look at Virgin and it looks a lot cheaper, may move to them when my broadband deal finishes with BT

Looks like it's 11 from the European final

In 1972 Bernie came 9th in the European qualifier and only 8 qualified, the top 8 seem to be in the final so why was Bernie in the 16 rather than a reserve? Any ideas anyone, I've probably missed something obvious

Fans tend to forget that for a time both Bomber and Scott came very close to joining the very top riders, it can be argued both didn't quite reach the very top but they were close. The one season in the final 5 or 6 gps Bomber was right on it finishing around joint 5th I think it was , with Hancock (I think it was) lol

I'm just out of contract with sky so need to phone them soon,I got a good deal last time but talking to my eldest the weekend I found out he pays a tenner a month less than me. I've got sport as extra only on one tv and the old box. My sons got sport,movies ,box sets , hd and a few other things including multi room and the q box. Will see what deal I can get and if I can get bt sports included which I pay for at the minute with bt broadband which I'm under contract with till mid April. Barmy you have to phone up for deals but that's the way it is I suppose. Virgin cables have just been laid down our road so another option I suppose

I've said before when I moved into my house opposite a school I knew I would have cars and people in the street for about 15 minutes in a morning and afternoon but it would be quiet at other times especially weekends and evenings plus it's a newish school so very unlikely anything else will be built there in my lifetime.I would never complain to the school about it because I knew what would happen. You get idiots parking illegally and I even had one park on my drive because he thought no one was in!!!!! He hasn't done it since. Lol. You have to weigh things up when you move somewhere

I went to the 78 world final when if memory serves me right Ivan was the current world champ I think, I stand to be corrected tho. He had a nightmare that night falling in one race. As a youngster of 17 I was gutted. Then I realised all Ole had to do was win he's last 2 races to be champ which he did. I think Ole was still at Wolves that year so I was not happy. Stand to be corrected on any of the above due to memory and a night up the pub

I started going in 75 but still remember Ivan being very special that year, some might say he was past his best after that but didn't he win another couple of world championships after that!!!!

Just not quite so many of them is a bit of an understatement Ommer Mon

And Olsen I reckon Steve and a fair few of a certain age even outside the sport would have heard of PC maybe?
