Air horns are a bit like canned laughter.The stadium could just play the noise over the loudspeakers to save all those people the bother and also help the environment

Tbh i was wondering yesterday if this was a poor year for the U21's.Ok i am willing to give the track a fair bit of the blame,but Drabik aside the quality seemed poor.The two Danes,especially Partick Hansen looked well off the pace.Lyager only finished a point behind Lambert(i think) but looked nowhere near as good.Lambert did look good at the start and give him the benefit of the doubt that he might have injured himself and that caused his poor form afterwards.But his gating looks like it will hinder his progress.There are just going to be tracks like this one where it will be hard to impossible to pass and when you add opposition who will be hard to impossible to pass,you have no chance if you give them a few metres head start to the first bend.How much Brady Kurtz injury hampered him i can't say.Kostigovs was about the best of the rest without doing much Just have to wait until Güstrow to get a better idea,although as i mentioned elsewhere i am hoping to make it to the Danish U21 final at the weekend to see just where these two Danes stand against some of the other hopefulls

I thought Spiller was born in Kent?Not sure on that but sure he can hold dual passports until the UK leave the EU.Winning the German U21 title doesn't stop him riding for GB.Robert Lambert also rode in the German U21 championship

Looked like one of our old members there with Henrik Möller standing by the ambulance.Rasmus Terkelsen? Haven't seen Jesper,but had to laugh at the old Polish guy who must have been wearing the same green stuff with the green cap for 10 years or more?????

You've been a member for 11 years and you don't know?????

Really the price is no excuse not to attend.Learn a few tunes on the guitar or paint yourself silver and stand around for an hour or two busking and you got the ticket money

GP format

Track poor and pretty much no racing.Far too many engine problems for a world final.....but i guess we should be happy the meeting is on and so far nobody has been injured.I do wonder with all the faffing about holding a long parade and now all these stoppages with the bad forecast that was on sportowefaktly before the meeting saying the weather would get worse as the evening went on...Fingers crossed for Robert And a tip on how to pronounce Fienhage.....it isn't Finhadje https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRyz2CKWBFs

From memory it wasn't just anyone out there putting the sawdust down,but Maido himself pulling the bags out of the tractor and spreading it around.Got to take my hat off to him for that

Confusing the life out of me, as to what he is trying to explain, at times!!! Racing pretty poor so far.And so many e.f's at this level

Was that Kostigovs or Woentin?I know Kostigovs moved,but looked like the tapes broke on Woentins helmet.....

Going to get his life story if they don't start soon!!!

Not me.Perfect

Riders all ready now for the paradde,so it will get started

And looking at the weather forecast for the next few hours it looks unlikely it will be concluded even if it gets started!!!!

Rain heavier now i think......

Practise cancelled a few hours back.Not sure of the state now?

Not picking a fight at all.Just telling the truth and i think Jesper might have seen enough Dutch cars and caravans travelling through Germany in the summer Unfortunatelly for me and others in Hamburg,we live on the gateway to the north and south.All the Danes coming through Hamburg to get to the south of Germany,Austria and Italy,possibly even the Netherlands.Even get the odd Swede and this week a group of bikers from Norway.Then all those from the Netherlands and south,middle Germany travelling up to the coast of Germany and Denmark.Bad enugh at the best of times in the summer,but one silly mistake by a lorry or car and that is it.Stand still........ for the last couple of years while they build this roof on the motorway through Hamburg Todays news,apart from the visit of William and Kate to Hamburg... http://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/schleswig-holstein/Im-Schritttempo-in-die-Sommerferien,autobahn1744.html

Yes and that is a sad situation.But totally different to Wimbledon,which this thread is about

Tell me about it.Every day i go on the motorway to and from work and a couple of weeks back it took over 4,5 hours to do the journey which should take about 35 minutes!!! grrr.F*****g tourists from the Netherlands with their caravans etc partly to blame

But there is absolutely no chance of giving thr Wimbledon track 'another go' as you put it.None.Probably more chance of getting a track in the High Beech area,which i am making a complete guess at,isn't as well built up as the area where Wimbledon raced

I won hands down.Wasn't worth carrying on.It was like that Monty Python film where the guy kept chopping an arm and a leg of and the legless,armless guy still wouldn't give up

Was it as good as German beer though? Although i would guess through the Austro-Hungarian empire it probably has similar traditions as Czech etc but you don't get Hungarian beer in the supermarket here.Talking of supermarket,if you go to Aldi you can actually get very cheap German beer.Dirt cheap.

Each to their own,but i just don't understand why?What is the point of just keeping the name in the public eye.Not really even doing that as most of the public aren't interested in speedway and if someone outthere hasn't followed speedway for years and is attracted by the name Wimbledon they are going to be disappointed and maybe even ripped off.Wimbledon doesn't exist any more and for the vast majority of the time it did exist it didn't put riders out at this level It is about as relevant as getting some non league football players together and putting on a game between Belfast Celtic and Thames Ironworks.Great names from the past but the clubs died a long time ago.At least years back they put on meetings between ex-West Ham or ex-Wembley and the riders generally had some connection with those clubs.The only connection these riders have with Wimbledon is they might have watched the tennis on tv....

What actually is it?Do they have 12 riders from each country that hosts a GP turn up for a morning of coaching or is it the same 12 riders that go to each GP and get a morning/day of coaching?
