21st century heathen

I don't have time to read through this thread, so it's just a quickie from me. Chris was nothing short of a sensation on Saturday. Congratulations Chris. It'll force you into the spotlight perhaps a little more than you would like though. Continue to let it all wash over you like water off a ducks back, and you'll be fine. More of the same in future please.

Can't believe she was bothered mate. I do it every week at Brandon, and she loves the attention. There were quite a number there, but from several clubs. Cradley Coventry Ipswich Exeter Peterborough Swindon Reading Edinburgh Oxford (Well...ish. Depends what mood SB is in. His parents weren't far away though) All represented in our little group at one stage or another. Now someone tell me the ones I've missed out on that list. Worse things she could have dangled over the bar. Take a sleeping bag next year. I'm sure you can just crash on someones floor.

I think it is a typo. What TNT has failed to mention is that we did win the one-leg final at their place in '99. The '96 Trophy was a farce as the top 4 riders refused to ride with 'solid block' tyres (remember that fiasco?! ), so that doesn't really count. The last proper Dudley/Wolves Trophy was in '95, and guess what? We won that one, in a winning streak that went back to a one point aggregate win that Wolves scraped in '89. Face it Wolves fans...we rock...you suck...end of!!

Bl00dy he!! mate. How did you manage that? Did you have £500 on Gollob to win or something?!! I forgot to mention that I also met Shortoi for the first time. Sorry. Did I forget anyone else?

Why raise something if you don't think it was an issue? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the link iris. For those that didn't follow the link, the Germans refer to Chris Harris as Bomber Harris in their link to the GP results.

You two (and Sandie) dragged the good name of the forum ladies into the gutter this weekend. Shocking behaviour from all three of you, and when the rest of us were on such good behaviour as well. *tuts and shakes head disapprovingly* I've got a few new names to add to my 'member met list'. Shazzy (the 'orgasm' tee-shirt is class ) MD Pammie (the first forum member to get p!$$ed this weekend ) General Melchitt Robyn1972 Pinny And I'm told it's entirely possible that I spoke to... King Jamie Nevs without knowing who they were. Off to Monmore in a minute, but you'll all be added soon.

I doubt it. There's a big difference between the RAF and what Hitler tried/partially succeeded to do/in doing. I really don't see why we should be getting in to this after such a fantastic weekend for British Speedway.

He made a mistake. It's commonplace with the human species.

It was daft to climb over the netting. It's hardly the stewards fault. I have no doubt they were under strict instruction to keep fans off it.

If this is all you've got Steve perhaps it's time for you to hang up the keyboard?

Cheers. If you don't see me it's because I was turned away at the gate for not having a ticket. That's about the cost I was expecting. I'll be in Cardiff.

Get a grip!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll be there. Two questions though. 1) I assume I can buy tickets on the gate. Correct or not? 2) How much is it?

No contest.

Cradley won it a massive 20 times (a monumental effort) and Wolves could only muster 13 wins (a poor return). If you're really interested head over to the Cradley website. Go to the 'features' link on the left, and then go to the Dudley/Wolves Trophy link. The final aggregate score for every season it took place can be found there.

Nice to read that fans still have fond memories of visiting Dudley Wood. As for our return...well fingers crossed. Latest news here and here.

Me too. I thought it was the best thing Sam has ever said. Made me laugh out loud. Class. ------------------------ I didn't know he'd been having a problem either.

Well done indeed. It turned out to be a good nights work after a dodgy start. He certainly had a bit of luck in my opinion. He should have been excluded in the semi. Why? He took it very well all things considered.

R.I.P.

Very sad to read this update. It's not really the place to start the debate again, but what price an air fence? Perhaps it's time to look at the helmets the guys use as well. (although I have no idea whether it would've helped in this incident)

Thanks for the translation Anders. My very best wishes for a full recovery go out to Olsson.

Very sad to hear of another crash resulting in serious injury. Thanks for letting us know. If anyone can give us the gist of what it says on those links we'd (sure I can speak for everyone) appreciate it.

??? I don't that's ever been a problem for Scott. I think it's a case of the smaller tracks suiting him better all round really. In fact, the Brits generally do better on smaller tracks. It's what they're used to.

I really hope he can find an answer to whatever the problem is, and fast. I'd love to see him realise his true potential on the world stage, and we really need him on top form in the WC. He may not have quite enough to challenge for a world title, but there's no reason he can't be a top 5 rider.

Good call. He could make the final with Nicki and Hans. You have to say that it looks as though the Danes are on the verge of repeating their domination of the 80's. Led by Nicki and Hans they have a group of young riders that are all on the up. The Aussies and the Swedes have riders the wrong side of 30 with a gap to the next generation. Even the Brits could be put in that bracket. The Poles are only good enough at home IMO.

Did I hear that he's back on his 'old' equipment? And still nothing of note. It looks as though the confidence switch has been turned off in his head. It could take a long while for him to get going this season, if at all.
