21st century heathen

I seem to remember not knowing that you had to punch it (to give it a start date/time) yourself for a day or two. The woman that sold it to us didn't tell us that. We just thought you had to show it if anyone asked to see it.

Anyone know the full line-ups?

Stayed at an apartment block at the top of Wenceslas Square (just behind the museum) last time I went. It's got to be the best location.

Just talking about riders form at Brandon...that's all. It would be useful if any struggling rider developed a sudden, debilitating head ache so that Olly could come in though. Couldn't agree more. If the track is any different to normal it would be a disgrace.

But look what happened after the dirt moved out a bit. Same as usual. Don't get me wrong. He was very very good early on (see my match comments) but his form later in the meeting is a worry. His race cards at Brandon this season... 3 3 4 1 R 3 2 0 1 X 3 3 6 1 He tails off badly.

You pair know nothing!! And you've got other wearing the wrong one now as well.

As SCB said it's way too far to walk. You won't get lost though. Just follow all the other fans. Loads of Brits/Poles/Swedes. Definately get a travel pass. Worth their weight on gold. Those cobbles look lovely but they're a b!tch to walk on for a few days. How long you there for?

Try not to lose your voice Jenn.

At least the rest of us have the 'proper' one.

Bit slow off the mark aren't you?!! Changed mine ages ago.

True. You could have the same tenner, at the same odds, on Britain.

Welcome Sam. What are the kids prices?

Of course Suzie.

Good shout. I should've said 'at Poole' rather than 'at home'. Hope there's a large following from Eastbourne on Monday then.

Povazhny is out. Darkin comes in. Don't know what the injury is. Hopefully nothing too serious. Great to see Darkin back on a bike after his crash a while back. http://www.speedwayworld.tv/en/news/a8116?...b6cb14dde8491ae

Pepsi has a very decent record at Brandon. He could be a threat if he turns up confident. Shame AJ is out though. Says on speedwayworld.tv that he's out of the early stages. Perhaps he could come in for the final?

Here's the draw. Will have to study it when I see what odds are available on which riders. Jagus will be worth a quid e/w of anyones money on a big track like this.

Well if they let you lot in, I'll be okay. I'm sure we'll all see each other over the weekend anyway. On the speedway front...e/w bet on Zagar anyone? Bound to be a good price.

Either that, or both of us will get our @r$e$ kicked. Does anyone think "I only bought it because I like the colour" will cut any ice? This trip is likely to be more a p!$$ up than my site-seeing trip previously. So where are the best clubs...anyone?

Putting my economists hat on... Anything that is sold is only ever worth what someone will pay for it. So, while we may think £33 is a bit steep, Steve is right. Wait to see if anyone will pay for it. If the grandstand is full then £33 was too cheap, and they could have gone higher. If there is only the odd empty seat then they got it just about right. If there are large gaps then it was priced to high. Putting my speedway fans hat on... You thieving £*&$)"!%. That's a complete rip-off!!

Middlo should have at least waited until after Monday to see how Ed went. IMO he's let his heart rule his head on this one. Perhaps, but unless anyone has bought him sat nav to fit to them he still won't know his way around the track. That's not true. He knows the Bees bikes work well. He watched enough of them sail off into the distance on Monday night.

That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. I have almost certainly seen more racing at Cov than you. The riders I name have the best record there. The record Ed has elsewhere is of no important whatsoever. What did he get last night?

Shush!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm really looking forward to this now. It's been 5 years since I went. Wonder if much has changed?! It was pretty run down off the tourist trail. Has another 5 years of our tourist cash been spent wisely, or shoved in someone's back pocket?! I guess I should dig out my Sparta football shirt. Or would the Czech national shirt be the safer option?!

I see Ed scored just 4 at home tonight.

I'll take your word for it Gem, but I've been told some things start to droop over the years.
