Thanks.Thought you lot would still be having your afternoon kip at the mo'

Norbold,clivehitch or The Artist formerly known as Dick A question remains unanswered,namely who were The Rangers main rivals?I know at your age the old grey matter isn't what it used to be but surely one of you can remember Or did you think you had already answered

Not even a mention of Terry Betts in your back up list

clivehitch Had a couple of friends(Man Utd fans) who went to the Old Den,wandering lost around the back streets and were approached by someone saying "you ain't Millwall fans are ya".They both promptly legged it,in different directions i may add and only one went in to see the match Remember having to produce my season ticket once when i was with a couple of friends who were looking for someone selling ticket for a Chelsea or West Ham game.We walked up to the Cold Blow end,no luck,turned around and was walking back when we were challenged.Great place,great atmosphere.Can't say the same about the new place

Any chance of some info. Never heard of the series.What is already released and what is the cost

Just out of interest,in your day who was considered the main rivals? Wembley,Wimbledon or West Ham i guess

Speedway is almost like boxing,making up World titles and intercontinental titles just to have a more important sounding meeting.But i agree that speedway should consolidate in the countries where there is already a history of speedway participation.Interesting that nothing much is mentioned about Russia,seeing as (Chelsea)there is obviously money there and speedway is established and in the past produced some good riders,Plechanov,Gordeev brothers,etc.

Training 11:30 Meeting 12:30 After the meeting is training for Golden Helmet and 4 races

But he also shows(like some footballers) that give sportsmen more money and they will want to spend it.So giving speedway riders more won't neccesarily make them sit at home in Britain counting the dosh

Well Coulthard was racing up and down the Reeperbahn last year

Personally i would be interested to hear his opinion of Tommy Jansson,as a follow on from the previous article.Don't think i have seen anything from Tommy's contempories on how good they thought he was

His car broke down on the motorway

New Champs are Parchim-Wolfslake who beat Güstrow in a run off(Ferjan vs Karlsson) .Unfortunatelly Brokstedt had rode without Iversen so finished 4th. Congratulations to Par-Wola

I can send you the magazine if you e-mail me your address as someone sent me one and i already have a subscription

I think it's a cost cutting thing.Couldn't see Sweden carrying on with 2 GP's either for too long,same as Poland.When they only get 8,000 for a GP and some league matches are getting 15,000,it's not sustainable.Seems like Bydgoszcz have got themselves in enough financial trouble.As for a GP in Norway is that secure for the future?. Can't see any of the other choices taking off,maybe France for a while.Personally i think in a few years they will be hard pushed to get 6 Countries/GP's

There will be a short report of the Bundesliga Finals from Olching on the Bayern Channel at 21:45 Sunday night for anyone who has that available. Olching(Lee Richardson,Martin Smolinski) Brokstedt(N.K.Iversen) Güstrow(Peter Karlsson) Parchim/Wolfslake(Matej Ferjan)

Any thoughts on the meeting at Stralsund at the weekend? Was a bit dissapointed that the qualifying system allowed some riders to drop out of their last race. Are you coming over again soon?

Good answer Kevin My point though is exceptions have and will be made,why is the F.I.M being so strict.Even this year there were 'B' teams to make up the numbers.I can't see any other such situations arising as Belgium can't get a team let alone a Flemish one or a Catalonian team seeking a place.

Isn't the whole Britain/England thing full of strange exceptions.Thinking of the Olympics,Boxers from N.Ireland are in the Republic's team.Derry City play in the League of Ireland,Berwick in Scotland.Celtic want to play in the Premier League.Britain don`t enter the Olympic football competition basically because they want to keep the power that they get from individual representation.You would have thought though seeing as International matches were basically started in Britain,speedway wise that Scotland could still be represented.They must have been affiliated through the British A.C.U in the 70's so why the change?

Congrats from me too

Result of final from Stralsund 1.J.Hampel 2.M.Puszakowski 3.A.Smith 4.M.Schultz 5.E.Andersson 6.B.Hamill Billy Hamill won the final on both days at Teterow and Stralsund but the main final based on placings over the 2 days was won by Jarek.Phil Morris had a good day at Stralsund winning the kleines Finale and so finished 7th on the day.Danny Knakowski had a good day at his home track but had a fall in his second race yesterday as did Fritz Wallner and both pulled out of their last ride Hope its nothing serious The B Lizenz at Stralsund was won by Sönke Petersen followed by Kevin Wölbert and Toby Busch but the results below don`t somehow match up with what i saw.The loud speaker system where i was, was pretty poor so i couldn`t follow Also had my first sighting of the young Erik Pudel winning 80cc race Full Results here http://www.mcnordsternstralsund.de/5015519...954810b1e02.htm
