Will Chris Harrisattheback change engines now?

Sound is a bit busticated.Can hear Tatum and the other bloke,but the interviews were really hard to hear.Had to try to lip read Kildemand Just heard it is Jim Lawrence in charge!!!! No way should he be near another GP after his display at Warsaw.FIM holding the fans in utter contempt really.........

Phil did say there will be some interesting first corners.He didn't say it would be interesting after that.............. But we should give it 6 or so heats before making a judgement,maybe

Surely that wouldn't be the case.Each team would/should have cover for heatleaders in their squad,so when one is missing they call up another.The trouble is though that some riders in the squad probably wouldn't get enough meetings each season to get a fair average,so would be on false averages.It would though I guess mean even more foreign riders filling up squad positions.......

While they were far from popular winners,both were actually tipped at the start of those seasons.Ok Jerzy was tipped as an outside chance in the season preview mag,but Egon was tipped by none other than Briggo,so it wasn't quite so out of the blue as people later would try to make us believe On the thread question,i think obviously Wembley was better,but those days have gone and I am not sure what is to be gained from the comparison.Is of course a big big shame that it seems Cardiff is unlikely ever to host the final GP in any season which would boost the occasion by 5-10,000 if a British rider was in with a chance of the title,at a guess

Guess national titles can be run as open meetings.Seem to recall Christian Hefenbrock being Latvian Champ or at least in the title meeting and he didn't have a Latvian licence

I also remember my first visit there.Thought i'd do the usual of getting the train and then at the train station get a taxi to the track.Only problem was there was at the time only 2 taxis in the town and only 1 on duty at the time and I had to tramp through the place looking for him in some café(although that is too exotic a word for the place really)

And what about an Estonian one if all else fails?Finnish and Estonan are almost the same language,so I heard

Well don't stop at 2,try for all the Scandinavian licences then

As if that is going to make any difference to his performances

Read the sad news on Facebook earlier.For some strange reason I thought Geoff was already dead. RIP

Quite.Smolinski would probably be world champ by now if he hadn't have qualified for the speedway GP series and I have often said Chris Harris should take up LT if he wants to be a world champ.Wasting hi time finishing 14th or so in the speedway series.Guess it shows the level of professionalism in LT when part timers can take the sport up and within a few meetings are top of the world

I can only make an opinion from all the info I have Sid and so far that is the conclusion of all the info I have seen.Even thugh I am a fan of Antonio I have stated I don't think he should ever be allowed to drive a car again.And if he had of been found over the limit at a speedway track on 3 occasions I would say he should never be allowed to ride in a meeting again.Doesn't matter if I am a fan or not.There is a limit you don't cross

Ebony + Ivory,Sid.Antonio comes across as a decent bloke with some demons in the cupboard.I'd guess it hasn't been easy given his background.No wonder he has problems,but for me he does at least come out and admit to them.Darcy on the otherhand comes across as a complete pillock who denies everything.I like Antonio,but I have stated quite clearly he doesn't deserve a spot unless he really really has his life sorted out.It would be a backward step and I would be worried he is often used for the marketing side of things because of his skin colour to his detriment.

I too would much rather see him in the series than any other Swedish possibility............as long as he really has sorted himself out!!!! It is easy to say he is on the straight and narrow,just as it is easy to say "i'm not on drugs I just work harder than the rest....." We have heard it a thousand times.I thought he couldn't take the pressure at the top,but it seems he has an illness.Whatever it is,maybe full time back in the series will be too much for him?I hope not,but I also hope he never has a bad accident whilst under the influence of alcohol.........

Maybe couldn't hear the tannoy and possibly too stupid to fill in a programme.........?

I haven't been won over by him so far,but last night was great to watch with those cutbacks.Very good racing moves,but why the need for Tatum to keep going "Oh how did he do that?" etc ........was way over the top

I thought it warmed up to be a really good meeting and thought the crowd was very good considering the weather.Doubt I would have ventured along if I lived in the area,so well done to the crowd,riders and track staff for putting on one of the best meetings of the year

Give Kasprcrap a couple of grand to p off........

Even so,it seems the stadium can only be used for 12 events a year!Surely rules out speedway in the future,unless you can combine a speedway/greyhound day.And even then what about the stock car days...........n the other hand it seems the ore they fight the deeper they dig a hole for themselves as it appears they could have ended all the trouble by buying the house off the pair.Not right though......

The greyhound woman comes over as very bigoted against football,which isn't going to help her campaign I feel.If she was more reasonable with her points it might come over better to the general public

Denmark won the first meeting 46-44.So there was a chance to see some speedway over the weekend,even if tomorrow is cancelled

Think he is still doing the Wall of Death,and is probably still better than any other Dutch speedway rider even at his age

At this rate it won't be long before they are hosting a GP at some track in Dutchland

I know it's you Sidney .and I claim my prize
