Danish League Not On Tv In 2015

So was i.The one that that got me thinking was the "Henri" in the other ad,which seems a French name. Buffalo Velodrome in Paris was a cycling stadium that was used for speedway in the 30s,so could be a good guess?
-
Mucked it up a bit and posted the thread twice,but just edited on the other thread that having looked up "Wolber" it seems they were/are a French company involved in cycle racing and held a GP Wolber(for the very best cyclists in the world) up until 1931 funnily enough.So that could point to this being France.Possibly Paris.And maybe one of the alternative world championships even??? Guess on my part though
-
Not seen this before.Anyone know where and/or who is racing here?Looks a great stadium.Probably foreign.I thought maybe Paris or Germany by the ads...... http://www.dvarchive.com/stock-footage/999-2508/motorcycleracingin Seems Wolber were(maybe still are)a French company involved in cycle racing,so could be France....Paris

Absolutely rubbish argument and change of tack Dave.Of course it is the same thing or does it only go for speedway the argument if you can't do better don't criticise?And does that mean because one or two riders on here that comment couldn't do better they can only criticise riders who were worse than them?Crazy stuff.No-one can criticise Darcy Ward for attempting to ride under the influence or Antonio Lindbäck for serial drink driving because we haven't been under the pressure he has as an international speedway rider?Go back to the drawing board and think up a better argument,then come back and start the thread up again,because everyone had forgotten about Harris for a few weeks until you tried to stir things up again
-
They must see you coming then Dave.Using your argument any time you buy something dodgy you just stick with it because you can't make a better pair of trousers or a better tv or tarmac your drive or plaster your ceiling better than Mr Cowboy Anyway,the thread had died away until you decided to put new life into it.No idea why

There isn't an "anti-gustix brigade" John.It is just you continuously make imbecilic posts.If you posted in a normal fashion,people will treat you normally.But post like an imbecile and you end up getting treated like one.All quite simple and has been explained a number of times,but you seem to get worse with time

Ah,the good old days.Saw a pic of the Nike Lunna fan club at Scunny with their Lunna wigs
-
I was right Eastbourne,Wimbledon,Canterbury and Rye House.All the others were just guest appearances like you do
-
Think Roger rode for Eastbourne,then signed for Wimbledon,who loaned him to Canterbury?If my memory isn't playing tricks
-
So,no mention of the decline of speedway in Canada then?Hmmmmm
-
I wish people wouldn't do that.I always fear the worst when the title isn't clear

Coventry Bees V Poole Pirates 10th April 2015

If Poole haven't got any then they will be moaning to get them banned,like Holder and Ward were complaining about Smolinski last season -

Despite the criticism it has to be admitted that when they get it right it is a fantastic product.Parken was great when I went.Super stadium,great atmosphere and the racing went along at a good pace with amazing presentation.I was lucky enough to only go to the first Gelsenkirchen GP and it was the same,especially when Hefenbrock came out and won his first heat.What happened the next year was the downside of the BSI story.When they get it wrong,boy do they get it wrong. You do need a decent stadium to get the presentation and atmosphere over though.Vojens just doesn't do it,although I do say being there is always better than watching it on tv.I have come home after enjoying the meeting to see all the criticism on here about it being boring.I personally think they are too pricey though and although it is fairly close,Vojens can be a nightmare to get to on a Saturday(and with major motorway work for the next decade towards Denmark it is only going to get worse in that direction)and can also be a nightmare to get out of the car park afterwards which puts me off going -
I think Darcy is thanking the FIM for banning him at the moment with all the accidents on the tracks.The way it is going he will be the only fit rider left come summer

You know how this works......the locals get the blame BSI get the dosh and if by any chance it is a good GP then BSI take the credit,otherwise its the FInns,Latvians,Czechs(delete as applicable)fault Possibly the worst example seemed to be the love in with the NZ promoter until it became clear there would be no more NZ GPs then a hail of criticism came....... -
As a Millwall supporter it took me a few years to discover there was actually any football being played!!!!!

Rob Lambert Our Next British Hope?
iris123 replied to sommelier's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
You say that,but there was a track in Germany with a tree in the middle........of the centre green.Not there any more.Maybe Robert pulled it up on one of his visits -
Was good to read that Glasgow had a big crowd for the opener.Very positive, and good to see both sides could end up near the top of the league if not top.Always hope Kevin gets back to the form he showed when he first went over and if Erik gets going the side looks very strong.Still not sure who is the most talented of the Riss brothers though.Maybe you have signed the weaker of the two,but that augers well for the future if Mark joins his brother
