Chris Brown

I saw the band play at Lol Hare's benefit dinner in Ipswich and they are very good. There's loads of them

Fritx Wallner is on his own track and is certainly no mug, certainly likely to be a spoiler

But not committed enough to miss a TV photo shoot to ride for his club in an important fixture on Thursday it appears. Maybe its commitment to individual events you were talking about Steve.

Wouldn't it be nice to hear an interview with him before a meeting where he wasn't giving an excuse why things may go wrong. One day he will be interviewed and say that everything is perfect rather than his tuner is ill, he's ill or sopme other sympathy grabbing scenario. Not saying he wasn't ill but geez doesn't it get tiring

Just a reminder that they are Team GB......yes GB. Maybe someone should remind Scott Nicholls and Floppy that its GB.................not England

I am certainly looking forward to seeing Schultz mixing it with these guys. I have seen him look very impressive on the continent and he clearly has a bright future

Bit touchy Minder !!! What did you think Bryn meant other than they way most people would read it

I guess I was watching the same one. Its all about opinions though, and as has been said many times none of them are wrong

Garbage in my view. Rickardsson knew he was going to get nothing a took a chance which paid off. Had the two riders positions been changed the decision would have been different. My criticism of the referee was that he was inconsistent. He didn't look at the video of the Rickardsson one but didi on the others. Crump was unfortunate in the first exclusion which should have been all 4 back yet when Bjarne Pedersen gets out of shape on his own he let him back in !! Greg surely had the racing line on Jason and Jason chose not to shut off, can't exclude the guy who is clearly in front. Let s get away from this the referee has cost Crump the title, its crap. Crump caused his own problems by getting himself into impossible situations, it wasn't the referee who missed the start and made the mistakes he did. The referee was responsible for one mistake of the 3 and in this format he should be able to cope with one nil pointer to his name.

Come on down and see him Trees, Star Lady is coming on Thursday !

Row 17 is where my season ticket is for the Welsh football internationals and you can see the whole stadium from there, much further back and you will not be able to see the whole of the stands opposite if you are the side of the pitch

Should have added that if you want to fly from the south to Prague for thr GP weekend you can do it for £65 out of Stansted, £65 out of Gatwick or £100 from Nottingham going Friday coming back Sunday with Easyjet

For the Czech Golden Helmet weekend going Wed 28 Sept PM and coming back Tuesday 4 Oct Evening Easyjet - £52 BMIBaby - £85 Czech Airlines - £161 I guess it depends on when you want to go but for me in September I stand by my £100 difference. The Easyjet price was for a booking of 14 people, the other two for for single travellers. If you increase the CZA booking to the max allowed in one transaction (5 people) the price goes to £200.70 each. So I reckon I am saving £2080 on my 14 bookings. I reckon I could buy a few airline meals for that

I booked a flight for 14 people to Prague for the Golden Helmet weekend just before Xmas with Easyjet out of Nottingham for £52 pp. So far I have flown to Prague with Czech Airlines, BMIBaby and Easyjet and only had an issue with BMI where I couldn't get on the return flight and had to be transferred to Easyjet. Paid £150 with CSA, and around £50 with the other two. All flights have been on time except a 3 hour delay leaving Nottingham with BMI in 2003 To be honest on a 90 minute flight I can do without an airline meal and I am happy to save £100 by doing that.

No riders going round but you can a few pictures of the stadium here http://www.apwj49.dsl.pipex.com/lost/eastvill.htm

If you want a cheap option not to far away from Marketa I can recommend Pension Klara. I've stayed there on 4 occassions Its basic, about £25 per night including breakfast for a double room and in Holsovice about 10 minutes by Tram No 1 or 18) from Marketa. It can be found at the link below http://www.prague-accommodation.cz/ The guy to talk to is Karol Holecek whose number is +420 220 80 90 09. He speaks perfect English and lives at the pension

And for me Nielsen beats the pair of them ! The GP argument is blown away with Nielsen. NOBODY else would have won a World Title between 1985 and 1995 had the GP format been in during those years. For sheer consistency Nielsen was the absolute master, was it 4 wins and SIX 2nd's in his time. The other thing Nielsen had that Rickardsson certainly has NEVER had was the ability to team ride, apart from Bobby Schwartz nobody was in his class in this. Nielsen also done it at Longtrack level. His ability to help his team mates was 2nd to none. Add to that the fact that when Nielsen was at his prime so were Gundersen, Jan O Pedersen and Tommy Knudsen. The strength in depth at the top was far far higher than today. For me Nielsen stands out as the greatest all round speedway rider. Mauger is up there with him but sorry, Rickardsson is a great rider but not even in the remote same class as Hans

I was very impressed with Filip Sitera throughout the weekend, at all 3 meetings. What is his background and which Czech club does he ride for. Could also say that Marco Muller put himself about in the evening meeting. Didn't even know the afternoon meeting was on, juts assumed it was the evening only

He was very very good indeed. As indeed he was on Monday. I guess from a Coventry fans perspective that doesn't help !!

Not sure if anyone has news of Jan Jaros who suffered an awful looking crash when Hynek Stichauer ran into him after he had fallen. Really looked very nasty

Just returned from Czecho and can confirm that it was in fact Jonas Davidsson that rode in this meeting not Daniel.

Expect to see Lukas Dryml added to that as he has a broken hip

See you there Jeff, we will be around the start/finish line. I will call you mobile and we can meet up. Are you on your UK mobile while you are there ??
