Would I do a thing like that. You know me better than that dont you!!!!!

I tend to buy my flags off e-bay these days. All Nations available. And about £3.50 each instead of £10 (thats just a guess and exageration) at the track.

Think you may still get a bit of the atmosphere!! And airhorn free simply means there wont be someone behind you sounding one off in your ear!!! You could however be just one aisle away from them!!!!!!!

Just been looking at the ticket website. As I read it - seated = 55 euros standing = 28 euros kids = 5 euros Firstly can anyone confirm if this is correct and then does anyone know if there is a site where you can pick where you sit! Thanks

Halo Add this web site to your favourites. It is very useful.

crump please

nice one! 100 swedish krona in Gothenberg a couple of weeks ago! 10 flippin pound Edit - £9 / £10 all in the exchange rate!!!!

okay .......just enough to buy an over-inflatedly priced GP Programme then!!!!

That is always a good idea and definately a cost effective way of doing it. Saves money for booze and food as well!!! Stayed in student accom before for conference and no problems at all.

LOL - Nano nano!!!!!

Not acceptable - it needs to be bought over in person!!!! xxx

JC - you have a good point and I am fortunate thats its a small 2 hour journey for me. So nice and convenient. It is a great place to meet up with friends but this year I really do have doubts, as this forum used to be such a fun place to be. Nowadays it - who can attack who the hardest. Its the promoters and the managers that are getting it wrong - not the supporters!!! So why are, best of friends one moment, attacking each other so viciously on here these days!!!! A very unpleasant read at he moment

Are you lot still going!! Im off to bed - maybe my the time I get up again you'll have given up!!!! But then again.........................

Sorry - I try not to do that - Kako(?) Nieminen. And Ryan pulled out of the meeting after 2 /3 heats. He took a knock and withdrew. BUT Swerve says he isnt badly injured - withdrew more as a precaution than anything else. Swerve knows the Yanks well so I would trust his word implicitly.

Which is why we buy cheap seats tickets. Never brilliant racing, apart from the year Harris won. But its an event I would not miss for the whole atmosphere. Depends on what time we finish breakfast!!!!!

No problems. Just carrying out a public service. And for selfish reasons obviously!!!!!! Bloomin phone bill now will be horrible - Italy / Australia and lots more here!!!!!! But it was worth it.

Hang on - reading all this again - it is possible that they have both gone through. That way its 6 through Ulamek, Pedersen, Nemo, JB, Followed by Rory and Jonasson and Tai reserve. Text received from track - its as I have said above. Those 6 and Tai at reserve Sorry everyone. Beginning to wish I hadnt started this!!!! Have now amended my post with the results in - sorry to confuzzle everyone. And Andy - I use THIS SITE - it is very informative

Do you know - I wrote down Nieminen first time in the bad signal call. And then when it was repeated he said Monberg!!! I didnt pick up on that until after the call. So apologies for the fans of both riders. You may need to wait for the official sites to post the results on that one. Both could be possible as they were both on 9 after 4 Sorry everyone

I have text the track again but if that was the case then I can see no reason for the run off. It would be nice though.

The info from the track was it was a race off from 3 riders for 2 spots and reserve. Looking at the german site 6 riders are higlighted green from the 1st qualifier but it didnt say if Smolinski was reserve or not!!

1st.........Seb Ulamek 2nd........J B Monberg 3rd........Bjarne Pedersen 4th........K Nieminen Race off last two place between Rory / Tai and Johansson with the result as follows: 5th......T H Johansson 6th......Rory Schlein Reserve......... Tai Woffinden Obviously Im over the moon about Rory but would have been happier if Tai had been in there too. And I am really very grateful to Ian Hewlett from SWERVE RACEWEAR for phoning through from Italy. EDIT - PLACINGS AMENDED BECAUSE IM A PILLOCK!!!!!!!
