If yer cannit tak it - divvent dish it oot. :)

No it isn't. True it is good NOW - but - it was GREAT THEN!! :approve:

.............................. and Councils aren't renowned for having much of that. :rolleyes:

I'd rather have a Bovril.

Paul Starke would be in my Team.

.............. again - we must wait and see. The proof of the pudding will be in the eating. Eurosport are off to an EXCELLENT start though. :approve:

Were you there? If not - I would keep quiet if I were you. :rolleyes:

Desperately bad News about Andrew. I thought he looked good yesterday. Let's hope that he gets well soon. Hopefully he will be able to resume his career. I thought he was a super signing for us.

I didn't know that - but - very sensible. :approve:

Yes - and I've Posted a Topic about this before I read your Post Dave.

I attended the Official Practice at Newcastle Speedway's Brough Park on Sunday and I have rarely been so cold in my life. Imagine my surprise then, when I went to the Track Shop to get a couple of Bovrils, I was given my Drinks and I offered my money for payment and was told "That is quite all right the Hot Drinks are Free of Charge". I would like to THANK the Newcastle Promotion for this. On a day as cold as Sunday they probably could have made a real killing on Hot Drinks - BUT - they looked after the welfare of their Supporters (Customers) instead. I think that this was a tremendous gesture in these tight Financial times. I, for one, will always be grateful for this effort. Once again - Many Thanks Newcastle Speedway. Oh!!! - The Drink warmed me up beautifully too.

:rofl:

True - but I was just putting another point of view (mine)......................................... I was offering a Debate not trying to cause a fight.. Oh - and are the Rules RIGHT about this sort of thing?

BUT crucially, in my opinion, Eurosport showed EVERYTHING including the Presentation at the end. With SKY's coverage they rarely showed the Presentation and one was left with a sense of anticlimax.

So basically we are saying that Ward got himself in to difficulty and, because Iversen 'laid down' his Bike to avoid hitting him, he should be excluded (I don't go along with this Disqualified rubbish either). What about another scenario - same accident Ward falls. Iversen doesn't 'Lay Down', ploughs in to him and puts him in Hospital with broken bones. I know that in that scenario Ward would be excluded for causing the stoppage. To me - in the actual Meeting Ward caused Iversen to 'Lay Down' his Bike - ergo - Ward caused the stoppage. The action taken by the Referee on Saturday Evening is hardly going to encourage Riders to 'Lay Down' their Machines - is it?

Well I don't HT. I doubt if that "one GB youngster" does either. There is also the argument that Cameron Heeps was that good - he shouldn't have been in the National League anyway. He should have started in the Premier League.

I totally agree - the Presentation by Eurosport was superb. I thought that Bunyan and Iversen were BOTH very badly treated by the Referee. Sadly this seems to happen in GPs. Over the years I have seen a lot of questionable Decisions. More so, I think, in League Meetings. I wonder why? Pressure on the Referee perhaps?

See yew jummy.

Good question. PLEASE advise.

First of all, I would like to THANK Eurosport very much for adding Speedway to their stable of Motorcycling Events. Thoroughly enjoyed the coverage of the GP by Eurosport. Commentary Team was excellent, Pictures were super. I actually enjoyed the whole experience. VERY, VERY Well Done to Eurosport you did a superb job - we even got to see the Presentation. Nice one!!

Keeping my fingers crossed for Hancock. Just hope that there are no injuries.

Very true - but - there are also some Football Matches that are over before Half Time. Nobody gives anything to the losing Team in order to 'make things closer and more interesting'. Nice to see you quoting the GREAT Cloughie. A former Sunderland player you know. Best Centre Forward I ever saw - however I never saw Bobby Gurney.

Looking forward to it BW - even though, as you know, I'm not keen on the System. It will be GREAT to be watching Speedway again. :approve:

Come on folks - calm down. This Forum is supposed to be FUN!!!

Top Man. :approve:
