Tommy, What's your opinion on G.Klopot? Any good

Think they must be out.Have seen the following for the opening day 2.May: Smederna-Luxo Stars Indianerna-Rospiggarna VMS Elit-Vargarna Västervik-Masarna Bajen-Piraterna

Draw for the U21 SWC seems to have been done Teams for Abensberg Germany,Denmark,GB and Lotwa(Latvia?) Teams for Kumla Sweden,Czech,Russia,Finland

Here is the Wilmersdorf site

If the beaches caught your eye or not they are still there.Anyway,if Copenhagen didn't have beaches it still doesn't relate to Steve's point which you seem to have missed by a country mile.Prague and Copenhagen host GP's which are a 1 day meeting,2 if you include practice.There is really no need for the type of holiday facilities which Steve is saying would make the hosting of meetings for the SWC a better destination.For GP's people are in and out that weekend,there are no rest days in between where people could spend days on the beach.But it doesn't matter so much now that the tournament is again shared between a few countries.

No,but look what happened to Fredericia in taking the title.To challenge Holsted you either overstrech your funds or like Outrup maybe hardly make an effort to run a competetive team but stay within budget. Similar thing happened here with Parchim.Ran out of money part way through the season and fielded a very weak side in the last quali round,even though they still had a good chance of going through to the final

Seems to have forgotten that Copenhagen lies on the coast and that in this of all years was besieged by Nelson.Don't know if he landed on one of the beaches though

Take a look at the map,plenty of beaches around Copenhagen,some probably within the city limits

No garf,i wasn't saying PUK was in the top 3,thats why i put "top" like that.So called top 3,so to say,if they are the 3 riders riding for the World Championship.Hopefully with the qualification coming back it will be better next year,because as things are at the moment the strong nations(Sweden,Poland and Denmark)suffer by having a limit on the amount of riders in the GP. It also worries me a bit that Holsted have the 3 GP riders.Can't be good for Danish league speedway.

Interesting that a lot of people are seeing Olsen behind the decision to swap Iversen for Andersen.Just a thought,but seeing as Nicki,Bjarne and Puk all ride for Holsted and Holsted seem to host most of the top meetings now in Denmark,maybe its the man in power there that has the big say in things.Wonder if there has ever been a team that has had all the "top" riders from one country.Remember Gorzow with Plech and Jancarz,but 3 riders. Just a thought

Still can't make up my mind where i'm going.Think Berlin is the least likely,what with the weakness of the other teams and last years Team Europa stuff.The Russians could field a B and a C team and take all the top spots and it only needs an injury from one of the main European riders and ...... Assen would be my choice but it really has to be a last minute thing and that isn't so easy at Assen so maybe Inzell or Erfurt for me Funnily enough talking about 5 Brits training in Sweden,there is an invitation for up to 5 German riders to train with Jarmo Hirvasoja in Finland.He would then be prepared to help them throughout the season.

Fair enough! One of the local football clubs here,regularly publish plans for a new stadium and none have ever been started Think everyone has got bored of hearing the same thing for the last 20 years Well there's no turning back from that!

Looks pretty impressive indeed.That is just a model though,does it say it will be finished for the next season?Just wondering.Teterow have also published "plans" for their stadium which look very nice,but doubt they will be built.Obviously a Polish team have a much better chance of acheiving such plans.

Thanks Tommy, Yes the reason i asked about other countries was because i thought Miszkolc were being considered.What has happened to Lodz?Just a sponsor change or name change? Was the border trouble,travelling to Ukraine/Latvia less this year?

Any news on 2.Liga? What teams will start.Will the Ukraine and Latvians be back?Will more countries enter?

I was going to say it all looked a bit tame on that tight track,until that rider went straight for the crowd.One of them seems to lose his head a few times Thanks Grachan Maybe you can find the footage of Galloway and McKay at Stamford Bridge 1927?

According to speedway.org the german nominations are sorted Fin Quali P.Bondarenko S.Gegenbauer A.Roth Saalfelden Quali F.mayerbüchler V.Nikulin D.Tschatschin Russ semi M.Kreklau Inzell semi R.Eibl S.Pletschacher

Was at a meeting the other day Gem and because of riders not turning up and injuries in one heat there was only one rider.He came out done a lap and was awarded the heat

Yes,Bauer still has another operation ahead of him, then 4 months rehab.His father also died during the summer.He will be Pits boss at Inzell,though. More on the Golden Spike series can be found on the Erfurt site here.

Well the Ice season is almost upon us.Seems the important news is that the World title has gone from 4 weekends down to just 2.The 25/26.02. in Saransk and the 11/12.03 in Assen.Was going to be another weekend in Russia but it seems to have been cancelled. Golden Spike series: 7.1 St.Johann im Pongau 8.1 Weißenbach 20/21.1 Flims(+Swiss championship) 28/29.1 Divisov(+Czech championship) 10.3 Assen 25/26.3 Erfurt 7/8.1 Russian championship Ufa 11/12.2 Russian Team final Saransk 18/19.2 Russian Junior championship Sterlitamak

The 65-0 match at Peterborough when Birmingham walked out after the ref declared the track fit.Peterborough rode all the heats alone,then drew straws or something to decide who would take the Silver Helmet that Doug Wyer didn't defend.After that there was a junior meeting between the Panthers and Wimbledon rode without incident

What is the situation with training schools.Are all clubs left to do there own thing or is the polish federation involved.Where are the best schools.See that a group of youngsters from South Germany spent a week in Poland and also a group from a Danish club had a training camp there as well.

Yes,Golden October!It was certainly colder for the Himmelsfahrt meeting.Was just a pity that so few people were there.

Just lucky your birthday isn't in March,then your cheeks would have been red

Hope it goes well for him.Now he has finished his studies he can concentrate on his speedway career next season.I think Martin done the right thing this year by dropping other commitments and concentrating on the Elite league.To be honest,i hope he does the same next season and really gets up into the top half of the averages before taking on other leagues. Didn't realise it was Team Bikab Matze is riding for!
