  1. ...and what about that super Haggis who rode for the Wembley Lions back in 1970/71 - one of my first idols!
  2. It looked very nasty from what I could see - unfortunately the live stream was freezing quite a bit tonight for some reason. Although I couldn't understand any of the commentary, which was in Polish, it was clear that Hans was able to walk, unaided, back to the pits. Hopefully nothing more than a bit shaken up.
  3. I think I'm lucky too - my daughters have had photos taken with Scott and got autographs on dozens of occasions and he is always very friendly, but there again I cannot recall ever having had a bad experience with any rider.
  4. I would like to endorse that - I always look forward to reading your previews and round ups each week Anders - thank you very much.
  5. Thanks too from me r&r. I'm getting quite a fan of watching these meetings whilst having my tea on a Tuesday!
  6. I've no problem over Scott and Emil - it was heat of the moment stuff which they later regretted and apologised for. These things happen. However, the actions of Ashley Holloway is a different matter altogether and needs addressing.
  7. Any news on the sanctions that must surely be taken against Holloway?
  8. Just back home and I would like to say well done Jason who was terrific. Hard luck to Bomber, on another day or if he had not been at the back, Hans might not have fallen. Whilst not condoning the actions of Scott I have been thinking for sometime now that sooner or later someone was going to lamp Sayfutdinov. I didn't actually realise how unpopular he (Sayfutdinov) is until attending the Copenhagen and Cardiff GP's. As for Ashley Holloway surely he must be banned from entering the pits area in future.
  9. The station at the airport (at terminal 3) is Kastrup. The main central station in Copenhagen is I believe Kobenhavn H in danish. Hope this helps.
  10. Yes he certainly looked better last night. It was my first visit to Copenhagen and although the racing might have been better I enjoyed being at Parken. Copenhagen is a most enjoyable place to visit for the weekend and it was also nice to see so many other fans travelling out yesterday and coming back this evening.
  11. Remember hearing the news on the local radio - LBC - very sad. R.I.P Tommy
  12. The fixtures are on Griparna's website - www.griparna.nu
  13. Linlithgow for me - the only UK track that has staged league racing in the last 30 years that I missed out on visiting. The previous miss was Coatbridge. Also Landshut in Germany as I have been there (29 years ago) and it was postponed. Still a chance of getting back there though! Being either London/South East based since I started watching Speedway I'm sorry to have missed out on West Ham, Rayleigh, Romford and Reading Tilehurst.
  14. I think Scott will be back simply because he is the best GP rider outside the top eight. He should be in it regardless of nationality. As for the rest like many of you I would be inclined to give Lindgren another go and bring in some new blood in Emil and Noddy.
  15. I think it's August 1st for Prague. Should find out for sure soon though!
  16. Possibly Ellesmere Port because of the football pitch, but I'm not really sure as I only went there a few times and that was a long time ago.
  17. Just finishing packing our bags and then we're off to Stansted for an overnight stop (well a few hours kip) before joining the Travel Plus Tour tomorrow am. Might also get Ipswich v Wolves in if the weather is kind to us. Really looking forward to it and to all those travelling out I hope you all have a safe journey and a great time in Prague.
  18. Canada - Timmy Joe Shepherd (one meeting for Hackney in 1975)
  19. Kai Niemi being excluded at White City in 1976 - the reason - no crash helmet!! Two dead heats in one meeting! - a test match at Birmingham in 1975. An awarded dead heat at Rye House v Peterborough in 1974. This came about when both Rye riders were excluded and instaed of a second rerun the ref. awarded the Peterborough riders 2.5 points each. King's Lynn finishing bottom of the league mid 80's - 4 points I think from two away victories - no points from home fixtures!
  20. Len Silver - Nel Revlis After his riding days I seem to recall Len promoted at Sunderland under the name of Nel Revlis (Len Silver backwards).
  21. Can anyone help by providing the times for heats 12, 23 and 25? Thanks very much.
