Do they normally race when the National Anthem is being played????? That is a disgrace or you are an idiot.I can guess which one is correct

Patryk Dudeks suppliers?

If you go tomorrow then you will see him.Same as you might see that British world champion just the once this year if you go to Silverstone And of course there is the other chance to 'not see him' at Belle Vue.The meeting this thread is about.Any more chances this season?

Not great news on 'El Loco' http://labrujula24.com/noticias/2015/17136_Triple-A-detienen-al-ex-piloto-de-Speedway-Juan-Carlos-Curzio

When one is old you can be confused,lonely and frustrated.I don't say that is the case here-but on the other hand it might well be in regards to gustix's posts

But what about the previous post.What is the point in stating he started in the bottom league when Aussie youngsters of the same age also did?The progress was the same

Think it is just showing ignorance.All Aussies that come over at the age Tai did start at the same level as Tai did.So what is the point of a comparison?

Similar to the Bundesliga.Swapped from one to the other.Would be a bit strange to recognise the Bundesliga champs from a few years and not from others just because some years it was a 4tt format

Ex-riders.Let them in for free you b....u.....g.....g....e.....r......s.Spoiling the sport not being able to stand next to some old guy you have never heard of telling you throughout the meeting what a great feeling it was racing around Hyde Road and how the riders of today don't know how good they have it and how we are better out of the EU and should send back all the scrounging foreigners etc

So far as i know watching a stream won't get you into trouble.Only if you have to download something like Sopcast to watch them, could get your collar felt,though very unlikely

Hahahaha Comedy Gold.A Reading fan and a Mickey Mouse fan having a battle of wits

Is this post saying that once someone retires the access passwords should automatically be handed over? Do we know if Dave Hunting or Huntley or both have retired?Or at least were retired before they passed away?Seems like you might have stumbled on another scandal ripping pensioners off.Then again,maybe he didn't pay his fees and the people with access took the site down? Pity,because if that was the site with all the British Champions etc listed from the 40s or 50s it was a very informative site

What if he qualifies and then decides not to ride in the EL?

The Racers and St.Heliers Saints were based by Mitcham Common.The Broadsiders in Streatham.So would seem to have nothing to do with Mitcham Stadium or Jimmy Kilsby By the time of the St.Helier Saints he league consisted of Tooting Tigers, Wandsworth Aces, Washington Wasps, Cheam Cherokees, Chessington Aces, Battersea Broadsiders, Battersea Racers, Clapham Racers, Clapham Phantoms, Beddington Hammers, Carshalton Comets, Tolworth Tigers, Raynes Park Racers, St. Helier Saints,and Morden Stars. http://www.heliermemories.org.uk/page_id__289.aspx

Holland definitely in the past few years had a league of sorts.3 or 4 teams.Austria had clubs challenges(Ove Fundon amongst others riding for the Vienna club i think,but have never seen any evidence of a league

If i remember rightly Hungary did field a team in the lowest polish leage in the last 10 years,just like Prague had a team as well as Daugavpils from Latvia,who are the only survivors of the foreign teams Sandor Levai is listed as having raced for Honved i think,but might have just been a club like Debrecen that organised meetings and had a few challenge matches against others?

I have posted a few times the numbers over the years and i do seem to remember a lot more 50cc riders than are now active.Must be a bit of a worry that they are nearly 50% down on a few years ago.Just a blip or more permanent?

Just in Denmark(ok there are a few Germans etc included) There are about 100 500cc,120 85cc and 80 50cc(quite a bit down on a few years ago I think) and then about 40 old boys riding

Did get a few mentins some years back and i did manage to find a photo http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=42554&hl=+mitcham%20+stadium

Yes,that is why i tried to put up some photos from that period.Doesn't show the pitch from a birds-eye view,which would be better,but does show how far the crowd is from the pitch and how low they stand at the front

That would be my guess

I do wonder how suitable the old Arsenal Stadium was for speedway.Don't think it was that big,there was no fencing around the pitch,and the front rows of the terracing werea few feet below the pitch so spectators heads were about pitch level.Any speedway fence would have made the use of the first dozen terrace steps useless,i'd guess.Not the same at Stamford Bridge and Wembley and White City for instance as they had a different shape that allowed a track outside the football pitch.Ok Wembley had to have the corners up,but at Arsenal the track would have caused far greater problems i would have thought http://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/worlds-greatest-ground-photographic-centenary-celebration-highbury?page=0%2C4

Think people in England have other things on their mind this week,rather than how poor Harris has rode for some rubbish polish team.Krakow must be Krackers to make the same mistake twice.No sympathy

Maybe there were two attempts at speedway in Charlton?I am sure I read it in the Speedway Star and found the article in one of my Stars a few years back.And I didn't start buying the Star until 1973........

That is what I thought re rules changed.Glad you seem to agree with me
