Congratulations Peter/Simon Yes - bookmark this page and look at it again in ten years time. There's even a lad called Jonas Davidsen - now that could get confusing! http://www.dmusport.dk/images/stories/Stil...v_rangliste.pdf

It looks like 3 for a win and one for a defeat, and one for the aggregate bonus.

1 Nobody wants to stage the world cup as it is (hence the spread over three countries this year) 2 With 6-8 man teams even fewer nations would compete - either because of cost or lack of strength in depth (remember USA found 5 man teams too much and didn't take part last year) 3 too many matches not involving the host nation would be a financial risk However what I would like to see is a format that allows team racing so that every race involves two pairs of riders from two of the four participating countries

Ah yes White City Grand Prix Final(83 I think) run-off for first Nielsen from the gate but Sigalos wins from the back Great Stuff

Reached World under-21 semis in 1999 (finishing 10th, between Josef Franc and Lukas Dryml) Then disappeaered until this season!

Spot on. People are writing off Nicholls, yet Scotty was averaging over six in the Elite league when he was the age that Wright, Kennett and King now are. All three are talented but there is no evidence yet that any of them are as good as Scott Nicholls, let alone good enough to win a GP. Even Lee Richardson who is often cited as the example of a late developer was averaging 9.6 in the Premier League when he was the same age as Wright/King/Kennett People underestimate just how special a future world champion has to be

Came across this on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0...6379205-6755020 A new book from Norbold. So Norbs tell us what's in it And yes I'll be ordering a copy.

Long Eaton published their crowds in the programme for a couple of years in the mid ninties - average figure was 8-900 which I would say was accurate (John Turner wasn't the kind of promoter to diddle the taxman) Coincidentially I'm currently reading the history of Ipswich speedway (Barber & Feakes) which quotes crowds in 1954 of: 19,029 v Glasgow White City and 19,184 v Norwich and this was a division 2 track at a time of decline in speedway!

Yes - mine arrived yesterday Thanks

Nothing to do with planning It concerns the granting of a licence by the SCB In general planning law is blind to competition

I was standing on the fourth bend right where it happened. Cook and Doncaster needed a 5-1 in the final heat of the second leg to win the cup 78-77 on aggregate. For 3/4 quarters of a lap they had it. Then coming out of the fourth bend Cook (on the inside) appeared to nudge Donkey pushing him towards the fence and letting the Oxford pairing thru for the minor places. Was it deliberate or a racing accident? - hard to judge . And not withstanding this Cook was the most entrtaining rider I've ever seen
