Silver Bee

What a night of entertainment. Firstly, I think it's fair to say that as a Bees fan, we owe a thanks to a few people who made tonight very special. First up is Mr. Trevor Swales. Promising a track piled high with dirt, the man did not disappoint. When we arrived at just gone 6 it was absolutely stacked with massive clumps of dirt all the way around the track. Seemingly, based on the work done after the Peterborough riders track walk, this was not want Peterborough wanted at all, and then sought to try and get as much muck off of it as possible. Great entertainment when they even started bringing regular vans round to try and pack it down. Secondly, Kenneth Bjerre. Kenny rode an absolute blinder for us tonight. Easily the Bees man on the match. King Kenneth was surely looking to get himself a place at Brandon with an effort like that. To think there was genuine talk of him winning the world title this season Looked like an absolute junior. Got to be said that was a superb effort from Coventry who turned up on a diabolical surface and beat them for the second time this season in their back yard. I love the back straight at Peterborough when you've got a lot of support with you, last night was no exception, great fun with a great atmosphere. Meeting wasn't much cop but then on that track you were more likely to find spuds growing than good racing. Hope KK's balls are alright after that trip into the fence. Reckon he is probably feeling it this morning. Sweetman was our star man. Did a lot better than expected, only losing to 1 opposition rider in his completed heats. Top stuff. Barker has his best Peterborough performance yet, including a comical heat 12 to let the Peterborough reserve round him. Cracking effort in 15 though although it was always looking likely he;d either get there or bin it. Kennett again was better than I expected considering Kennet Barker and Sweetman at 2 3 and 4 were the worries before the meeting. Haris was Harris, had 2 more points than he should thanks to a diabolical decision, Pawlicki was extremely disappointing but he's probably never seen anything prepared even remotely like that, and Bridger did more than enough, including a brilliant first bend and ride in heat 14. All in all I won't be losing much sleep about the Panthers gutless performance and I will be "enjoying this while it lasts" - which is longer than Peterborough will be enjoying the play offs for Just a quick note though, the Rory exclusion was horrific. Harris is already near enough on his arse before Rory straightens up. I can't understand anyone who says differently. We were lucky but in reality, does it really matter?

and last.

You're ignoring what I have posted completely. I've not talked down Harris, he was superb, but he did not come from the back in every race!

You're an idiot. I love Chris Harris, but clearly you ignored his first race and the semi where he made the gate. Didn't make a pass in the final either, come to add. As "Ladyluck" said, it was a fine performance from Harris, but don't just make stuff up.

I won't remember that, because it didn't happen.

I'd like Kolodziej, Lindback and Harris. Certainly not beyond the realms of possibility either.

Erm, Iversen?

Nicholls, Harris, Richardson, Stead and Woffinden have all ridden in world under 21 finals. Richardson has won it, Harris has finished second, Woffinden finished joint third before losing the run off, Stead was 5th and Nicholls also got a bronze medal.

One of these 'suspects' actually went to an awful lot of trouble when Rory broke his back in 2005 to raise him a fair old bit of money organising an auction in the bar at Coventry. So no, I don't just 'snipe from the sidelines'. I don't hate Rory, I've never hated Rory and I don't know where the myth comes from that I do. Lukas Dryml, yes. Rory, no. I didn't cheer because Rory fell, as has been pointed out a million times, but it's pointless arguing about it on here though. It can go on forever and other people are still going to say what they think they've seen and still be wrong.

Flammable and inflammable mean the same thing. Odd policy to allow one but not the other.

You can get family tickets from the small ticket office by the POW on the day.

3. Jason Crump. Ta

Almost certainly going to this. In the past we've gone as a bigger group and had an apartment, anyone able to advise a decent place to stay for just 2 people?

Not with so many riders, though. Needs a new format if it's to be brought back.

Clearly not much of a gater then

Just make stuff up then. Bydgoszcz 05.

He can't even make the GP qualifier final. There's no way he could have made a world final. Same sort of qualifying system but ultimately easier without most of the worlds top riders.

Kennett is a world away from Harris and Nicholls. Watching the way riders have moved him out the way at first bends, especially Shields on Friday, even when he has gated suggests he hasn't got a hope. It's alright, no doubt he will give 100%, but so would I, and after all I "couldn't do much worse than Nicholls and Harris" so why not put me in?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha :lol: It's just not true. Kennett failed to beat 1 non Slovenian at the world cup this year and was the second lowest scoring wildcard (only beaten into last by the Italian. There's no way they have put him in. Doesn't make any sense from a business point of view either, who's going to bring in the crowds? Zagar/Lindback or Eddie Kennett? Hmmm. Not even as if he's got any big name sponsors to speak of. It was reported in the media last year that Zagar had got a pick when he hadn't. Can only assume this is the same.

Jonsson as captain.
