Other way round.A few years back Brokstedt had a local band on before the meeting.Didn't make much difference to the crowd even though his concerts sell out the stadium in Hamburg.I was quite surprised at the lack of crowd really http://www.lottokingkarl.de/ Found a report,it was 2010 http://www.shz.de/lokales/norddeutsche-rundschau/msc-brokstedt-show-und-sport-im-holstein-ring-id2825796.html Of course how could I forget Egon Müller?He often played a concert after meetings.And there are often bands after or even before weekend meetings at speedway,ice speedway but more often longtrack/grasstrack if there is a meeting at the track on both Saturday and sunday then usually Saturday night they put on a concert.But with small local bands

Think I last saw him down at Kingstonians old ground:he was player manager there.Got replaced in the Chelsea side by my old school mate Colin Pates,who also had a spell at Charlton and The Arse

A Final scores are 4,3,2,1.....so you get a point minimum as long as you have qualified I only watched 4 heats and gave up,but good service,can't complain.Guess Phil didn't get a mention when they were greeting all the overseas guys including Rosco,Tony Steele and Andy P

I don't think he was at Hull an awful lot longer was he? But I guess this must be the period he was talking about,as normally he is dismissed at least on here as being a one hit wonder and one of the worst world champs in history

Look,i was liking his post for the fact that he said that signs are that bosses won't go on agreeing to high rider demands and absolutely nothing to do with anything you post mate.If you can understand this,i find it great that bosses at sometime will come around to thinking we can't go on like this forever.That is it,full stop.I don't really care for most of your posts and my liking of the post had absolutely zero to do with you

That's right,Dave Webb.For some reason Micky Droy always comes into my head.....memories eh?

Yes,speedway was big back then and people like Briggo were also friends with football players and even got to know stars like Steve McQueen!!!! And I think even earlier George Formby was a bit of a speedway fan

Think in 1964 he finished behind Mary Rand......but if I use a quote from Parsloes from a few years back in answer to the rigged vote

Not sure what you are looking for Steve,but every year there is a Sports personality thread started and I think every year this comes up in the thread .2015,2014,2013 etc Have a search and I am sure you will find lots of posts on the subject

What about Tom Stenner?Never read any of his annuals or his book Thrilling the million,so have no idea whether his work is a good read or not

Yes we, or should I say I now know despite a couple of things on the net calling him Seifert including this report from last years German championship http://www.racetrack-news.de/2015/03/eisspeedway-dm-legend-never-ends.html

I often get called Dough......and then my last Danish speedway league pass was John!!!!!

Could be,but last season he was known as Seifert I am sure But I know Timo is often called Lathi or something in Germany and he finds it quite funny I agree with you on Annti

I know everyone seems to be spelling it Seifter,but I think his real name is Seifert!!!! Bit of a surprise as is Aakko's poor performance.Still not fit or what? And is just over 600 a decent crowd?I'd guess it is Looks like I got that wrong and he is called Seifter!!! despite those calling him Seifert http://www.speedway-forum.de/index.php/Thread/11553-Eisspeedway-Labberfred-2015-2016/?pageNo=21

Live updates from Ylitornio.Seems all ok now http://nicesport.pl/live/198144/ice-racing-rk-ims-ylitornio-finlandia-09012016-godz-1230

Kurtz at least took advantage of the Danish speedway season to get some early experience.Saw him at a young age on 80cc as I also remember seeing Masters.But I also saw Brady when he came over for a season in Denmark and seems to have paid dividends.

Yes some people have bad memories and other people make up stories Two occasions I remember Egon Müller telling what seemed t me to be untruths..... One time in a tv interview he said how he wasn't appreciated in his home country but was worshiped in England!!!!! Really not sure about that Another time,it was at the indoor meeting in Herning,Denmark a few years back during an interval he was interviewed on the centre and before he started to sing said "This was a big hit for me in England" Shock,horror again when I heard that,but not as horrified as I was once he started his song We shouldn't believe everything we are told

So you should get on the phone to Jouni or another contact there to get the full story.Guess if it has gone t**s up then the "do not disturb sign" will be on Jounis phone.....

I thought Jouni was the top FIM man now.So surely he is the one who gives the track the FIM approval?

Straw bales and safety fence and yes the high snow wall. I seem to remember it was unfair regs that caused Berlin to pull out of FIM meetings a few years ago.At least what they thought were unfair as other tracks got away with things Berlin were pulled up for.But to be honest surely straw bales are a minimum and a catch fence is preferable to a large safety zone,but necessary if the safety zone is not large.Sounds like chaos.Hope they manage to get it sorted.....

Another side to the Ylitornio story http://www.speedweek.com/eisspeedwaywm/news/86285/Skandal-in-Ylitornio-Kein-Zaun-keine-Bahnabnahme.html

Actually I didn't even realise that Brendan Johnson has taken a break from the sport to my shame.I remember there was a nice Poole fan(yes there are some ) on here who was close to him and I think sponsored him.Best of luck to all of them

I'm not sure who is coming back into the sport,that you are talking about,but I always have doubts.Think to my knowledge the only rider I know of who had a rest and came back that was any good was Ronnie Moore.Have seen a number in recent years including one who I thought was highly talented(Arthur Sissis) and others who people thought were talented like Charlie Möller,Jonas Raun in Denmark who never got back to anything like their old form.Will be interesting to see if Gjedde can get anywhere near his old form,but like I say it hardly ever works out

Not realy sure what all this is about,but of course things have been looking somewhat better for a while now.We have a 2 time world champion and also a great prospect in Robert Lambert,who has been around for a few years now.So no surprise.Also a few young kids looking good for the future behind Robert,like Zak Wajknecht + Kyle Bickley.Can't work out the IoW connection though

All a mystery.Are there any examples of advertising posters or newspaper ads etc to get the crowd interested? At least we have two more names in Ross Garrigan and Nigel Bird(who I must admit is a new name to me)
