ten years after

Looking forward to the GP catching up with my Ausie mates then spending 2 weeks traveling poss round southern island with a nice beach stop off on the way home. Will be looking for good bars and restaurants while there.

Is any one going to Auckland for New Zealand GP

Bryn Boy. What ever you do make sure you don't need two boat journeys, or maybe with this weather its inevitable.

The current promotion don't own the stadium, and too many car events run better on tarmac. You would never fit a speedway track inside current track. I would say no chance of speedway running. Many people have looked at it. There was a time when speedway ran very successfully on the present shape track though.

Bit of a drum roll that one.

Unlike you 1 word answers

Great talent that never properly fulfilled his potential. Maybe accidents at the wrong time one at Kings Lynne and one on the Grass track spring to mind.I personally would like to see him on the Grass again but not sure that will happen. You could argue a case for quality ex riders to remain in the sport, I think we have a few but we always need more.

One could talk long and hard about Cookie at Eastbourne that night. I am sure all will be revealed one day. It amazes me how 13 years later that season is still talked about. But we were conned that night.

A flamboyant ,Charismatic true gent,and he could take a picture.

Ask Jason Crump the day Gollub put him into the air fence in the Swedish GP and he somehow got up and won the final.

Nothing new there!!

Oxford proved this point in 2005

You know what, when you look at it like that, he has a point. It IS farcical. What other sport in the world allows that to happen? Imagine footballers say, one plays for Man. Utd. AND plays for Reading Town AND plays for Galatasary. And he's not alone, not by a long chalk. It looks utterly preposterous. It's little wonder we don't get the credo we actually richly deserve. To those of us who are supporters, we see nothing wrong with that, but to outsiders, we must look like the provincial aunt Sallies who are just playing at being " a sport " in the accepted sense. We have little credibility. What to do about it ? Not a lot I fear. Being the dangerous sport it is there's not a lot of riders to go round, hence the current setup, but my goodness, it does look plain daft. Nothing wrong with Aunt Sallie especially if you come from Oxford.
