Well i've heard a rumour that the start line girls at Prague will all be sporting anklets next year.Maybe that will change your mind

Good win for Fritz.I hope he can really come on next year and stay clear of injury

Thanks Tomaz.Now that is a line up worth travelling south for

Looking on one of the German sites it has the line up for Abensberg as England,Germany,Sweden,USA i guess its an error.anyone know for defo its wrong,even pressuming that England is wrong and it is Britain

You are all forgetting Uncle Lens idea the Champions Chase Knockout.Rather like a forerunner of the GPs.32 rider lineup won by Banger Jansson the first year,1973

Admission is no problem,normally 10 euros,its the train thats going to cost 80 euros.To get a cheaper ticket i need to wait around for a few hours,change 3 times and get home with enough time for about 3 hours sleep before i get up for work

Was rumoured that we were going to get some Ice Speedway here in Hamburg.Were trials done last winter.Just seen that the Freezers Ice Hockey Team(crowds av 12,000) are looking at the possibility of playing one match in the AOL Arena.Apparently Edmonton played a match vs Montreal in an outdoor stadium and got a crowd of 56,000.Maybe in conjunction with an Ice speedway meeting the costs could be shared

Thanks Jeffster Hope the weather holds out.Hope i can make it,as my daughter locked us out,cost 60 odd quid for the locksmith and that was the money i was gonna spend on Stralsund

Line up for anyone who fancies some speedway during the winter Nikolaus

Thanks for the link NoFear.Following in Joel and Bo's footsteps Is Bo a taxi driver in Eskilstuna?I wonder if i go to speedway there will Bo be driving a taxi

Was only there once but i do remember a giant piece of meat being carved.Didn't sample it myself,always took my own food when i travelled north

Thanks for the info,both.As for the track shops,i have been trying to get some stuff from Smederna & Masarna,but had no luck so far

Anyone know the capacity of both stadiums? Always fancied a trip to Eskilstuna because of the link with the Jansson brothers and S.Salomonsson.

Can't pretend i know Walthamstow well.But my mum had a couple of uncles who lived there and she was born there.So we did make regular visits when i was young.As they lived in adjoining streets that was all i ever saw of the place

Reckon it's the "fly" syndrome.Hackney fans forget they have already had a look and go"oh,that looks interesting ".

Always wondered who bought them Not quite as bad as the face mask for fans that was advertised though.Never saw anyone with one of those

Ronnie was truely an amazing talent and even after more than 20 years what was his average(something like 10 point).Says something about him that C.O at Coventry was trying desperatly to sign him in '74(?). Briggo as well,not really much needed to be said about his speedway talent but he was a media mans dream.There was always a story to be had from Briggo,he knew how important the media was and he was willing do put the work in.Someone like that is what the sport desperatly needs

More info on places available for each country here

Good to see speedway is still going in NZ.Thought it was all but gone.Remember seeing Ronnie,Briggo,Graeme Stapleton and Larry Ross riding for the Dons Hope all goes well.Thanx for the link Cablehogue,will look in to keep up to date with developments

Oddly enough they all had that look in the 70's <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You must have seen some dodgy films Shazzy if you have seen a Ken McKinlay and a Dave Gifford lookalike in them :wink:Somehow get the picture of that Holsten add,Bert Harkins siding up to some babe with his thick glasses saying "This could be your lucky day!"

It's all very tempting.Only trouble is i took the "other half" to a meeting at Eastbourne once and she won't go again Came with me to Vojens once but stayed at the hotel.S'pose i have a better chance at Prague,but doubt i could dissapear 5 days in a row
