Hmmmm, tough one that, it's the usual suspects on Eurosport. What's with the Pearl & Dean type music, brilliant.

Hyde Road -- Peter Collins, Soren Sjosten, Chris Morton, Mark Loram, could watch that all night long, pure speedway. and for something a little more savoury... Owlerton -- Alan Wilkinson, Jack Millen, Roman Matousek, Sean Wilson, pick the bones out of that, no quarter asked or given.

Thanks for that, remember it now having seen it again, great first lap and then got out of Andersens way to allow him the freedom of the track, good race.

I was also one of the lucky ones, although I was introduced to speedway at around 5y/o I only really became a proper young supporter in 69/70, aged 10, it was Hyde Rd every Saturday with my dad. Soren Sjosten was my favourite rider back then but obviously I was aware of Ivan's qualities, you pick up on different aspects when you're a kid, like which riders sign your autograph book in the pits after the meeting, got to say I had Ivan's signature more than any other, he always obliged even though he was always in a rush, no doubt off to the continent for a Sunday Long Track, I can distinctly remember marvelling at his accent when he spoke with anyone in the pits, he was probably the first 'foreigner' I'd ever heard speak in real life, apart from Taffy Owen of course but I couldn't tell a word he said. For me it was a case of not knowing what you've got until it's gone, the season following Ivan's enforced move to Exeter was completely different, we weren't so invincible anymore, we'd just won the League 3 times on the trot, I'd love to know how few times he was beaten round Hyde Rd during those 3 seasons. Thanks so much for the memories Ivan, hope you enjoy many more restful years.

Good luck Ryan, very entertaining rider over the years. You chaps have made me want to see this heat 15 from 2006, is it online anywhere?

Doesn't mean it will be synchronised though Paul, I often use both mediums simultaneously for my sport but sometimes the commentary doesn't quite fit with the visual, we'll see.

Ok thanks for that, appreciated.

Can't see it being a patch on that but we live in hope. I actually think I prefer the Polish commentary and I only understand one word, dziękuję Apparently we are to be blessed with bbc 5live coverage of this weeks matches, should be interesting, I wonder if it will synchronise with the Sky pictures, worth a try I reckon. Oh right, my mistake, what's on offer on Sunday?

Enjoyed tonights 2 meetings, thanks for the company all, only 2 more nights entertainment left before hibernation time

Announcing riders for the last 2 heats.

Please no, not that, it's been good this last couple of weeks.

True but I think Zagar & Iversen beat each other up a bit in their efforts. He did a good job though.

Great ride by Madsen there, Gollob still making lines all of his own, anyone else almost fall off their chair during that race?

There's your answer Paul, he could just be another Kelvin..

Yeh and she even sounds like she knows what she's talking about, not that I can understand a word of it, just looks confident..

Thanks, so a fair old journey then, still got good away support there too, impressive. Agreed Paul, was in danger of petering out but that should hopefully liven it up a bit, here's hoping. Very fair ride from Gollob then, could have slammed the door on Hancock on back straight lap 2, costly though.

Great to see the live beam back for those who can't travel, just shows how big speedway is over there, most football clubs in UK could only dream of having that sort of support. Pawel, what is the distance between the 2 clubs?

Thanks Pawel, unusual to see a woman involved at such a level, attractive too.

Or preserves maybe. Sorry.

Is Agata the manager, or promoter, or....?

Is the next meeting on this same channel Alan, or do we need to change?

Agreed but he didn't let it show in the rerun, seemed determined to get himself in front out of trouble, rode well.

Got to agree, can't remember there ever being a decent GP from Vojens over the years, or any other televised meeting, usually for the reason that it's Ole's track, no dirt on it. Can't understand why anyone was expecting anything different last night. Fair play to MJJ, he does seem to be very grounded for a young lad, great to watch last night.

I thought so too but it's back on again. This works but not tried the sound, wouldn't make a lot of difference anyway, to me. http://pl-sport.tv/stream-3.htm Emil looks like he's casting for a part in a ninja turtle movie there.

Can't you get someone in to do the scratching Paul, if only to free you up to watch the Polish play-off tomorrow, got to be worth exploring, surely.
