You didn't miss much.Very much from the gate.A couple of good heats and that was it really. Disappointed in Bjarne after reading how aggresive he was last night.Impressed with Frederik Jakobsen.Think it might be the first time i have seen him live since he won the YGT.In fact probably the first time i have seen Sam Jensen,Jeppesen and Thaysen since YGT appearances Made a thing about Jensen being the new U21 champ with a presentation before the meeting.Was quite impressed with the club feel to it all.Plenty of Holsted stuff on sale and plenty wearing it.Nice little Holsted fan group and same with Fjelsted with flags and smoke signals adding to the atmosphere,which is relatively new.I don't remember much on my previous visits
-
It seems an added attraction for tonights meeting is the appearance of legendary Brazilian footballer Jairzinho !!! Weather looks good,so i will be setting off for Holsted later

Jensen Nicki Pedersen Jonas Jeppesen Mads Korneliussen Anders Thomsen Peter Kildemand Patrick Hansen Rene Bach Mikkel Michelsen Hans Andersen Kenneth Bjerre Jonas Andersen Niels-Kristian Iversen Michael Jepsen Jensen Bjarne Pedersen Nikolaj Busk Ulrich Østergaard Just put up,but i guess Nikolaj Busk is out injured,unless i am confusing him as he is Busk Jakobsen....

Ulrich Østergaard Holstebro 3P 15. Jesper Søgaard Glumsø 3p 16. Martin Steen Hansen Holsted 1p -
Think Kenneth Bjerre had a long relationship with his father in the pits.Not sure if he always came over for every meeting in the Uk though nor when or if that ever stopped.As i say,it is something other have mentioned and i am sure if Robert was doing great in the SWC,World U21s and the recnt World Games then it wouldn't be a subject of discussion
-
You are getting me wrong.I am not saying it is.Each individual is different and what works for one won't work for another.But it is something that has been mentioned a number of times and by someone like Phil Rising and maybe others in the sport he has talked to

2018 Grand Prix Venues
iris123 replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
What happened to Gorican?Decent weather for anearly GP,but are they not interested now Pavlic doesn't look like establishing himself as a top rider? -
Don't shoot the messenger If you look at a couple of his rivals in the world U21s i think both Woryna and Drabik have their fathers in there helping them.But trees was suggesting Robert is his own man,which could be questioned if he hasn't started to form his own team and stand on his own
-
Well if someone with the longevity in the sport like Phil Rising mentions it then maybe it isn't natural But that is neither here nor there.It just doesn't sound like someone who is independant and stands on his own two feet,which was what you were suggesting.Maybe not the best example to pick out imo
-
As i say,i am not wanting to slag him off,just on a few other threads it is mentioned alongside the worry that it doesn't 'work for him' given his poor scores in big meetings lately.Although imo injury must be a reason as well

2018 Grand Prix Venues
iris123 replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Whatever reasons people put up they might have a point,but when i see this one(and i have seen it a number of times)i just have to wonder how alll those thousands and thousands manage to get to the big events at Wembley?Do they all set off a week before on some sort of Pilgrimage like those that trek to Santiago de Compostella with b&b's at a distance for every night? There is a reason London is the capital and that was because of its location and over the centuries the connections to the outside world have only got better -
Not wanting to put him down,but the fact that he travels around with his parents and girlfriend in the pits etc with him is often a worry even a criticism
-
He has criticized tracks ok,but he has never gone the route of these two,has he?
-
As i mentioned a few weeks back,possibly on the Dane drain thread or something to do with the Danish problems,Mikkel Michelsen has been unhappy(unhappy is probably putting it politely) with his lack of rides in Poland.Now it looks like he might be after a move to Czestochowa https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/701851/mikkel-michelsen-czestym-gosciem-w-czestochowie-trafi-do-wlokniarza

Said on a thread at the start of the season that we shouldn't employ Aussie riders.Don't give them the step to use to build their career,don't help them build a better national team than we have.Don't give them the chance to moan.They must have seen what our climate is like.Ffs it is what we are famous for!!!Don't like our weather and our wages then stay in luvvly Oz.Nuff said

Love it.Man after my own heart,as they say.Ave summa dat

You just seem to be compiling a list of purpose built tracks,instead of tracks suitable to host a GP,so my guess is as good as yours -
Capacity Of Uk Speedway Stadiums
iris123 replied to mickthemuppet's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
From arial views it is sometimes possible to see stone age or roman,viking structures etc,so as long as something hasn't been built on 68 years isn't very long at all..... -
Thanks for your often enlightening and interesting contributions Always add something to the debate

Capacity Of Uk Speedway Stadiums
iris123 replied to mickthemuppet's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
What about Iwade and the training tracks for instance in or near Workington and Linlithgow? -
Not being a speedway rider i wonder how much difference it would make to cut 25 yards off the length.2 secoonds off the track record sounds quite a bit,but it was the 'smaller' track that most here saw and Briggo among others loved Hard for me as just a fan to really jiudge whether it made that much difference and made the track less of a full throttle to a more technical track.Plus again guessing i would have thought Young would have been used to big tracks in Australia?

Just seen on the World Games thread that Berwick have special dispensation to hold Romano Hummel as an 'asset' even though he only rode 3 meeting.It is all a big joke that would never hold up if threatened in court.Always the trouble with speedway is they make a rule then allow clubs to do their own thing anyway.... But if you search for 'assets' i do think there was a thread done before where people took the time to make a list.Possibly a bit out of date now,but a good place to start
