Trees

It is so hard for these youngsters unless they have a rich family or benefactor behind them, if only there was enough tv money to help them . .

Coming over?

All fans, riders and officials should donate to their tracks fund!!!! Put your hands in your pockets for a very important cause!!!! As a Lynn fan I have sent money to the Newcastle fund ............ lots of small amounts adds up to loads of money £18,000 for the Buxton fence so that's 900 people donating £20 ............ not impossible!!

No NEVER thank goodness, how sad! But that passion keeps speedway at the top of the tree in your country eh!!!! Is it just because of the speedway or wouldn't ordinary people shop for instance in each others city without problems? I love your patriotism, how fantastic it was to watch everyone singing the National Anthem at Gorzow last night B-)

It's a chicken and egg situation surely? Elite League promoters are really up against it with all the various fixtures their riders are taking part in and so having to fit around! Premier League promoters have it relatively easier imo and so don't need such a complicated set of rules! I guess the only way to make running EL teams easier would be for all teams to run on only 2 nights of the week. It would certainly make it better for tv for starters and riders' calendars! But will this ever happen? Speedway could also do with more tv money so they could use it to attract more fans particularly for tv matches!! I'd be all for having more PL together with EL meetings on tv, it's good to see lots of different tracks and riders! I realise that this wouldn't go down well with EL promoters but I guess British speedway isn't really in a position to pick and choose?? I guess PL promoters know their job is easier than EL promoters as far as sorting their fixtures and signing riders is concerned? We'll see what happens!

Oops Tai chucked his lovingly prepared bunch of flowers away there at the end of the presentations, naughty! Mind u if the promoters just forgot the flowers altogether they wouldn't be a miss! Well done to Hampel on his win, the Poles are so patriotic, fantastic hearing them proudly sing their National Anthem!

Or Kelvin Tat - um? :-)

Or Kings Lynn Young Stars

I also used to like when the riders got on their bikes outside the pit gate, that way anyone you detested could start receiving abuse as soon as they appeared LOL = all Ipswich riders .................. Nah it added to the meeting somehow

I used to like it when the terrace lighting went off during races, more atmosphere!!!!

As long as the fans keep buying them they will keep charging a tenner!

Who are promoting these Pairs and Euro Champs!

Great meeting, great racing Can't all SKY matches take place there ................ so that's the answer to british speedway, change your track to make it like Somerset!! ha

Hmmm listening to Bikerfm tonight and it seems OneSport are certainly in correspondence with BSI, through their solicitors!!!

Cannot compare!

But how BSI owes all our leagues!

Yes Skidder, that's certainly what the meeting was about!

At least I added to the viewing figures, that's a bonus for them ;-) Seriously though, our leagues are the backbone n speedway, these commercial companies are not welcome in my book! Having said that IF this Polish company are a rival to BSI and IF they can wrestle the World Championship off them and do the right thing by the world's leagues then I'll back them 100% but I don't know that!

I had noticed that BSI are against this competition. They obviously think they will steal their thunder in some way. Of course they could easily start an unofficial world championship of their own I guess . . So how much has this new company got to do with the Polish Speedway Clubs?

Didn't have the slightest bit of interest in this meeting although I did watch it, total nothing meeting for me, it certainly was NOT a World Pairs Final!!! Not keen at all in this new development, having BSI involved in the sport is bad enough but now this, oh dear!!!!

I'm with the BSPA then! This Pairs event is a nothing event, all that is riding on it is money!

Probably agree with that Bagpuss

It seems my enthusiasm for the sport has rubbed off on many of my work mates and customers Having said that I only live 10 miles from Norwich and the amount of people who used to go there and remember it like yesterday is legendary
