Going to cancel our hotel and re-book it AGAIN in the morning. It keeps dropping its price. They will be paying us eventually!!

OUCHIE!!! That answers a few questions as to why the Junior meeting was on for so long last night. We had a couple of Aussies to buy a drink for before they head back home on Wednesday so we disappeared into the bar. Hope your feeling better soon Ashley

Sitting for us SCB. Means more time outside drinking and in at the last minute. You also know Im too short for crowds!!! However - a mini-meet in the Red Hot and Blues on the friday night is called for!!! SCB is going to MacDonalds still so we wont invite him!!!

Sorry if this has been posted already but couldnt see it. This afternoons edition of Living in the Sun is: 'SPEEDWAY - Nadia Sawalha meets Russell Payne and Claire Evans who are trying to set up a speedway track in Spain' I know its an repeat and things have moved on but maybe worth wtaching.

Ha bloomin ha!!!! Seriously though - I Asked Phil where I could find this old thread as it has lots of useful tips for those travelling to Prague - but remember it was started in 2005 so may be a little out of date. But suspect tram numbers and travel from airport to town etc will still be good. Thanks Phil

Thanks

Not really read the other posts fully but I just wanted to add - During the World cup round at Coventry we boo-ed Nicki EVERY time he came past us. Unfortunately Im not sure it cam out as boo-ing as we were laughing along with it. Nicki played along and kept pointing to his race jacket - not sure if he was trying to tell us his was the Danish Number one or encouraging us to use the sponsors on the jacket!!! But to us it all became a bit of fun with (I hope and think) Nicki joining in. You have to boo him but you have to do it with a modicum of sense and fun. Its all good fun

Greg Check out this thread - Oz Title dates 2009

Think Nick Simmons has a good claim to that. Its 5 minutes up the road from home!!!!

Thanks CHK

Hope everyone and especially Paul had a reat night but on a selfish Coventry note can anyone update us on what Olly has done please. Bloomin heck!!

Question - According to a guest with us tonight the rule book says that that back mud guard is required to have a push bar! Is this still a rule. If YES - can we have all of Freddie Lindgren's points back please!!??? Check out his bike

I know the world cup is still in progress but I realised today that in 15 days time we wil be heading of to Prague. This seems to be a popular GP so who is heading off there as well? Queen Bee and myself will be heading out of Birmingham on the Thursday and returning Sunday. I know a few others on this flight as well - wonder if its not to late to change!!!!

lol - may just stand a chance then!!!!! Sorry for being dense but what is it you dont like - the name / the riders / the performance?? All three maybe?? The riders wouldnt change whatever you called them so why not get behind them?

LOL - Not watched the Sky version yet (just cant bring myself to do it yet!) but I think we got that feeling in the stadium too!! That is totally up to you and we all make choices - no problem there. Not sure whether you are saying you dont like the whole International thing or the GB v England debate. My view on the GB v England arguement is: If you call it England then you close the door to any Scots/Welssh or Irish who come along in the future and they (scots etc) need to register as an indepedent nation for the benefit of this tournament. The fact there are only English riders at present is just a temporary measure - long term temporary maybe but the door is open for all.

That said - why bother with this whole event then. I accept your point of view but the arguement to that is - they are riding for their Nation therefore that goes along with it. If it is just speedway meeting then drop this whole competition - they are riding for National pride and for the country. Not individual glory, thats what the GP series is all about. As it happens the National Anthem used at brandon was absolute pants and it was very hard to get any motivation from it at all. We just looked at each other and said - "What is this?" A very disapointing choice. But we wont need to worry about an anthem unfortunately. Thursday is in Denmark, therefore the Denmark anthem will be played so no gee-ing the boys up from that Im afraid. And I doubt we will hear it at the end of the meeting either.

Very nice to meet you too. And I must remember its BTL not BLT!!!!

Not sure Iris but reading between the lines there I reckon thats a street that good abiding citizens should not have gone down - however well lit it was!!

Correct!! The only thing good about the local area was a Pizza place not far from the stadium which baked Pizza's that were too big to go through the fron door faceup!!(The Aussie Haunt I believe!) But that was a s good as it got!!!

Christ - around heat 13 tonight I was beginning to wish I was at home waching the TV, pottering on the laptop and having a few drinks. Im actually glad I was at the stadium as I think the last few thread on this forum have actually been more depressing than being at the meeting. Middlo, Lynch, Rosco. Who knows but right now - this week, we should all be trying to get behind what we have. Debate the future of the manager once this week is over. Chanel that agression into something positive for cripe sake!! Unless of course you revel in the glory of GB being cr*p!

Oh great! But thanks for the warning

just watched the forecast before heading off to bed - dry, dry, warm and dry!! Bring It on!!!

It must be possible somehow. I remember earleir in the season when Rory Schlein was injured in Poland he and Jason Crump flew home that night into Manacher (I think). SO check out Manchester airport and arrivals on a Sunday and work backwards

Got mine today - delivered through the letter box - the normal way!!!!!

Not got mine yet. So please dont decide to strike or do anything silly in the next 48hours and I would be very grateful. After that you can do whatever you like to keep your jobs in Coventry
