Vojens for me.Easy to get to,great atmosphere,good food,lovely women. The only minus points are getting away from the place and the ever present rain

Tickets also on sale for Innsbruck here

Apart from the SWC or Team World Cup or whatever it is called next year.And maybe explains why it is only held in Denmark and Poland nowadays as a British promoter would be taking a huge gamble in applying for the meetings with no assurance that GB would be there.Whereas Poland and Denmark are pretty safe bets to get into the final,so the risk is very small

Don't think Joomla is a member of this forum,so i would blame a guy called Parsloes 1928 nearly.Not sure what you are on about though.Maybe ask a guy called Haggis he also talks a bit strange

This great site on Danish speedway tracks has just been updated with info on the old Fredericia stadium.Well worth a look,not only at this stadium but the rest of the website Fredericia

Yes Norbold.Lionel Wills was the man i was thinking of.........thanks

Wasn't the Crystal Palace promoter also partially responsible?Didn't he make a trip to Oz and was impressed by what he saw there speedway wise and thought it would be great in Britain.Thought he was doing Path racing at Crystal Palace pre 1928.Can't think of his name though

Mayb it hasn't stood the test of time,but i always avidly watched The Wild Wild West.Never seen the recent-ish film though.But the series was a great mix of western and James Bond style spy story.Then again i used to love Hogans Heroes as a kid,but when i watched the repeats some years later it seemed crap

Ouch! Anyway whilst we are on the subject of Music Hall where there any of the oldies from back then interested in speedway?We often get a thread about famous fans at the moment such as Mark Weber.But back when speedway was really popular i guess there must have been some pretty famous fans attending.Harry Lauder for one lived a hop,skip and a jump from Plough Lane.But he also had a cnnection with Millwall football club,so maybe he attended New Cross?

Ah you gotta admit it has almost become a music hall section....the old "tallest rider" catchphrase seems to get trotted out ever more frequently. No don't laugh!If you laugh he knows i am being rude. I fell in love with Mary from the dairy, But Mary didn't fall in love with me

I can quite believe you.Trouble is we are talking about GPs only here and he just isn't a GP rider.I'd rather see Nicolai in them than Harris And next year Nic will have to watch out that LiGlad doesn't overtake him anyway......At least Walasek and Ulamek managed to qualify by right.Only one of them with home track advantage,which Harris couldn't use.And just imagine where he would have finished if the thing was held on another track.It all feels a bit embarassing to be a Brit abroad and read and hear some of the things said.......how the tables have turned

The statement doesn't work once you include Harris unfortunately He brings very little to the GP table.About as much as Ulamek and Walasek i would say.....

Give over.It is bad enough now,but imagine a freak result from the likes of Stead,Screen......take your pick really.And you would want to give a spot in a GP series to them? Someone earlier hit the nail firmly on the head by saying years ago we used to complain that spots in the World Final were taken up by dodgy foreigners.How times have changed.Now the foreigners are shaking their heads that places in a GP series are taken up by dodgy Brits.If that is something to make some people proud,it isn't something that makes me proud i can tell you. Come the start of the GPs i will however be wanting the two of them to do well.But at the moment it is grounds for complaint.If we don't let those in charge know how we feel they will think everything is hunky dory.They will still carry on regardless,but at least if support drops off,they might just have an idea why.Pity we didn't have forums all those years ago when support of speedway dropped rapidly away from those boom years.maybe if those lost supporters had a forum on which they could air their views ...well Promoters would have probably ignored them as well.But they might have been wiser after the event to stop the sport going even further down the ladder

Surely one of the traits of being "english" is seeing fair play done.This is in no way fair play and goes against all that being "english" should stand for,imo.

Why is it obvious Steve?Two struggling Brits will get more attention than one Like people have said at Cardiff you will still get the one struggler and the meeting WC to gain more support.Just don't understand it myself and it won't make me want to see the GPs more because there are two Brits.It is quite clear that Tai has been promoted into the series over about 10 riders at the very least who are better.And why keep giving Harris another chance when there are at least 10 riders as good?

Sounds like a likely scenario.Last i heard Rune was going to think things over during the winter.So i guess he is still going through that process. Like others said Harris couldn't even make it on his own track,so shouldn't be there.And if your scenario pans out Smolinski will be second reserve for the GPs

Let's see him top the PL averages next year first.But share your sentiments

Wouldn't say i am sick of them.But i used to scan the net for livestreams to watch them.Now if the one i find doesn't work or cuts out i just get on with my evening without bothering.Guess that says a lot.It just isn't essential viewing any more

I can only agree with the above and guess that Lee turned the place down

Don't know how you can mention High Chaparral without mentioning one of the sexiest women on tv at the time.Big Johns wife and Manolito's sister.She was a cracker.She wasn't in too many scenes,but i always waited for those bits And Alias Smith and Jones was also superb tv

Original doesn't mean the best Jim. Anyway i prefer Patsy Montana or The Girls of the Golden West

So who did Dick Jones sidekick for?Bryn Wayne,the bowlegged cowboy.Ciggy dangling from his mouth.One holster full of Bundy and the other packed with bread pudding

Oh give me Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers any day.Can't beat a bit of yodelling And Champion the Wonder Horse was also a favourite of mine

And the Malmö track that hosted a World Final back in the 60s isn't the same venue that cureently hosts speedway in Malmö

The Teterow meeting has been scrapped for next year at least.A sponsor has dropped out,plus they seem to have miscalculated the thickness needed for Ice racing.The promoter was thinking 4cm was enough,like in Speed Skating
