Well done Tomasz!

My daughter had a count up and came up with 185 plus 4 watching on the bank outside! Good to see Jo Jacobs and Ben Morley scoring plenty of points.

Not am armchair viewer I'm afraid - if I wanted to watch Gollob win (and I hope he does) I would be in Terenzano but I'll save myself for Bydgoszcz which should be a great occasion, in the meantine it'll be Rye v Plymouth for me (and a handful of others)

Less than 24 hours to go so I thought it about time we had a thread. Anyone else going apart from me and cityrebel?

When I arrived and looked at the track my first words were 'Bjerre won't be able to cope with that' but little did I think he would only score one point and then only because Lewis Bridger had already stopped. One point from the rider in red in the first six heats tells it's own story. Well done all of the Bees you were a credit to your club.

Very pleased to hear Marc is out of hospital and best wishes to him for a speedy recovery. All being well he'll get a few more laps in this season!

That never changes so I know what to expect there Rick.

Yes it's a shame that no real effort ever seems to be made by anyone to get these meetings moving along although as you say things did quicken up eventually. We have 30 heats to look forward to at Rye on Saturday. I think I'll be checking who the ref is before I decide whether to go or not.

I agree with you Mick about the increased numbers watching Speedway (and many other things) via the internet and I certainly know of Speedway fans who no longer bother with Sky because of this.

Yes after two really nice days it is a bit wet down this way this morning. We are in Slovenia at Terme Catez which I believe is about 1 hour 30 minutes away. Fingers crossed for later.

Good luck Bomber!

According to the BSPA website it is the second part of a double header on 11 September - Rye House v Newport x 2 then!

I might venture down to Newport for the second week running. Any news on line ups?

Scott obviously forgot that he has ridden at reserve for Vargarna earlier this season then! Of the incidents in heat 5 I feel THJ should have been excluded for knocking off Adam Shields in the first running of the race. Scott was probably a little fortunate not to go in the rerun although all three back was arguable and indeed this is what the ref decided.In the second rerun I thought the main fault was with THJ again and indeed the referee excluded him this time. As others have said these were simply racing incidents. Anyway I hope both riders quickly recover and are racing again soon.

Must have been something you said philcrumpisgod as the BSPA site has now withdrawn the section relating to all KOC results!

Good luck Danny - I'm sure it will not be long before you have a team place again.

Poole made a late recovery from a bad position in a KOC final at Coventry a few years ago. I'll have to dig out my programme to check but I do recall that Coventry also helped by gifting some silly points in heat 14!

Well done Poland and Tomasz Gollob in particular. I hope he goes on to be World Champion this year.

Well done Brendan!

Another double header on the cards!

Best seven I've seen ride based on all time achievement are: Ivan Mauger Tony Rickardsson Ove Fundin Barry Briggs Hans Nielsen and two from Ole Olsen/Erik Gundersen/Nick Pedersen/Jason Crump Best seven based on me watching them are: Ivan Mauger Tony Rickardsson Hans Nielsen Bruce Penhall Michael Lee Peter Collins Ole Olsen Fundin and Briggo were past their best when I first saw them.

Well done Chris, Scott, Lee, Tai and Simon! Made me proud to be British watching you last night!

Well done to the Cobra's for putting up a good fight with a depleted team and well done to Bournemouth for making the most of the chance of victory that was handed to them. It was also good to see Shane Hazelden scoring plenty of points.

I'm glad someone else has said that as I thought it was just my hearing going - I couldn't hardly understand a single word all night! Fortunately it didn't spoil my enjoyment as it was easy enough to follow what was happening!

There is no accounting for taste when it comes to sport and I am sure there will even be some people watching a football match from South Africa right now!
