You should watch it again then, he's faster than anyone tonight but he just let that go, very wise ride, good on you Tai. If anyone ever wonders why he has Peter Adams along then there's your answer.

Really, I'd not noticed them yet

Lucky lad there Tai, I'm glad the ref used his discretion and didn't rob us of a potentially good race. That rerun produced one of the most intelligent first corners I've seen, brilliant.

Ah right, thought it was Gomolski, sure it was a Pole anyway. Yes Lastword, afters at the pit gate, no doubt due to that first bend move, he took the other lad right out on the fence, it happens.

He was a bit ruthless in that one, still, it's a mans game. Payback on Gomolski I suppose.

No messing there from Gomolski, chopped the front off the other fella. Those blue pom poms look really heavy, poor girl.

Great little clip that Gary, thanks for posting it, I'd be inclined to go for West Ham as he mentioned a big stadium, more likely Custom house. Either way it was clear that he did used to attend, thought his description for the American presenter was brilliant. cheers.

But he's right, so how about putting your view forward instead of name calling. I'm first hand evidence of the fact that it doesn't damage like you claim, I've many friends who would testify to this. I'm sorry if you've seen someone close to you have problems with drugs, it's not an easy thing to experience, but you're being unfair in making such sweeping statements. Maybe that person would have taken whichever route they chose whether or not they had used cannabis, had they used anything besides cannabis, did they blame cannabis, who did blame cannabis? Lots of questions, no need to answer, just saying, that's all. Just like the fella said, alcohol causes many more problems in this world than a bit weed ever did, or will. For the record, I'm not a 'free the weed' campaigner of any sort, I'm quite happy just to get on with my own life and leave others to their's but if people like me don't speak up at times like these then too many folk will carry on with their blinkered view of anyone who might enjoy a different type of tipple to their own particular favourite. Each to their own. thanks for listening

Don't even think about apologising mate, your posts in this thread have been a revelation, exactly what forums should be about, people sharing their views. It's great to have someone who clearly knew a bit about what was going on back then, it's not about the headlines, we've all seen those over the years, it's the incidental stuff, tales from the pits etc. Thanks for giving us the insight.

What's the main issue with the polyfoam, expense, storage, or something else? Obviously it's right that improvements are constantly sought with regard to safety but we've come a long way from just having boards, thankfully .

Well done Emil, sign of a champion is when they can come back from what looked like an off night and take the spoils, great ride. He must be heading for the sort of status Gollob has held in Poland for so many years. Being a national hero in Russia will probably eclipse anything TG has experienced, such a vast nation, good luck to the lad All in all not a bad meeting, good to see a different track/stadium, no real complaints with the coverage, I really like Scott Nicholls style, Steve Day is learning all the time, I can live the odd errors, lets face it none of us could do better, or we'd be doing it.

Seeing the crowd shots it so good to see so many families there, creating supporters of tomorrow, looks a really well promoted venue, would love to attend a meeting there.

I think we've done well tonight, I mean the thread has pretty much stayed on topic right through until heat 20, lets all congratulate each other before it kicks off big time I'm not a big fan of cars but that Audi R8 ad does have a certain appeal, want one.

Don't be so pompous, I wasn't aware of his title, otherwise I would have laughed at your joke.

You don't say.

Well pray tell us all which utopia you watch your speedway in, I mean where do you go to find 15, 20, or even 22 heats of close, exciting speedway with more passes in every race than you could shake a stick at, where you could throw a proverbial blanket over all 4 riders for all 4 laps. Go on you miserable soul, share the secret of speedway heaven. You either know nothing about the sport or you're on the wind up, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and congratulate you on reeling me in, well done.

Is that your customary comment for the night? Bang on time. Dull indeed.

Ok thanks. These cameras are something else in terms of the quality of view they give, really impressed.

Exactly, it's almost speedway every Saturday at the moment, loving it. This season could have been so so different for those of us who watch the coverage. Long may it continue.

Woffinden was brilliant there to dive under Pedersen, did a Nicki on Nicki. Seemed to lose something off the back of his bike on bend 3/4, good ride Tai.

Bit like the speedway updates board then I suppose.

Hans Andersen, brilliant, he'd done ever so well and then blew it with his final word, classic.

You can mate, she's nice but she'd do my head in with that laugh..

I'm all for ensuring that the starts are fair and it's quite right they bring them back when someone gets a jump but surely they should bring the start girls out on track each time, surely to God.

Ah right, thanks. Was flapping then..
