Meh Tailed off under pressure at the end of the meeting. The boy done good!!

Hans as captain please mate. Or pus.....

I plan on being there. Should be good.

I bought some Euro on Saturday. Thomas Cook were selling at 1.16 to the pound. I'll have to have a look at what they are selling Koruna at, and what I had last year (if I still have my receipt).

Fair point. With costs naturally rising over there and a weak Pound Prague is not the bargain it was. It will still be comparitively cheap though. A damn sight cheaper than Denmark or Sweden, that's for sure.

I think it's too early. He's a real talent, but I would want to see him have a season (or at least half a season running up to the SWC) in the EL before I put him in. The British Final was weak, although he did very well. Beating Chris Harris from the back was a cracking ride. That would be the same Olly Allen that tops the Coventry averages, with a near 9 point average, at Brandon. Off the top of my head he's only finished 3rd or 4th a couple of times, and had an engine failure at the gate on one occasion. He's a dead cert starter. Horses for courses mate.

I've been to Copenhagen once and Prague twice. I'm going to Prague again this year. It's certianly the cheapest, especially if you want to out for drinks as well. There's nothing wrong with Copenhagen, as such, but Prague is a much nicer city. There's plenty to see and do and all at a very reasonable cost. Both cities offer you the chance to travel to the GP quickly and easily. If you 'search' for Prague and Copenhagen in this section you should find old threads with all the information you could possibly want.

It would be crazy to put Tai in, although I would take him along to be generally involved and pick up experience that way. Jim hinted that he wants to go with horses-for-courses. I would suggest that the team all-but picks itself. For Coventry... Scott Chris Lee Olly as dead-certs, with either Simon or Ed. If we make the p/o and final there may be a case for Olly out and both Simon and Ed in.

Just realised my post may have been misleading.

So, perhaps you jinxed them then?!

I think I've jinxed my entire team. Hans and AJ are having problems staying on two wheels. Jason, Scott and Chris haven't even come close to showing their best form. Cheers Bert.

You will need a HD tv and Sky HD box. Hopefully more will follow. I might just have to put my hand in my pocket. *scoots off to see how much the box is these days* *edit* The robbing b@$&@^#$. £30 set up for new customers. £60 set up for exisiting customers.

I'll change my captain please. Captain - AJ Hans Jason Chris Scott Cheers

Disappointing. I was hoping Right Said Fred would get the call after their performance in Germany last year.

They'll come good on the temp. tracks. ...and Crump will win as soon as I make someone else captain.

Wish I could sack the lot of them and start again!!

I'll be using it again. Very good, and thank you.

No change for me. I'll give Crump another chance as captain. Cheers Bert.

Admittedly I've only speed read the thread but I didn't see Cradley & Stoke Heathens 1996.

I'll definitely stick around to watch.

Great race for third in the first of those clips. Good effort by Bridger in the second, and a cracking start by Ben. Finished the others' challenge on the first turn.

I wasn't specifically replying to your comment alone. A fair few people mention it so my response was a general one.

So you think you can inspire Gollob to take an interest in Cardiff, Copenhagen and Gelsenkirchen then? Lets hope for more performances like the one he gave in Prague last year. Even your favourite rider could have beaten him in Prague, and I don't mean Matt Davis.

I can't believe people still b!tch about Lewis doing wheelies before a race. Has it not crossed peoples minds that maybe he's just a young lad playing around with the bike on the way to the gate? If he starts actively playing to the crowd that's a different matter. I've never seen him strike a pose, so-to-speak, whilst doing a wheelie before a race. Quite rightly, that's reserved for after a race. I don't see the problem with just lifting the front wheel down the back straight.

It's not often I genuinely laugh out loud at a monitor, but that was one of them. I assume you meant twit?!! I suspect we'll be hearing from our Kitten a fair bit over the next few weeks. Enjoy it while it lasts mate because once we get to the temporary tracks it'll be a different story.
