Bet Chris Brown was crying in his coffee cup yesterday. He had just booked 18 tickets for golden helmet when someone told him the date had changed. Anyone know a good coach company from Prague to Gelsenkirchen!!!! (sorry Chris - hope you can sort it without to much loss of income)

I cant ask for your number kev - someone may shoot me!!! But if you send it to me I wont tell if you dont tell!!!

That would have been nice but unless they have a laminator at the stadium you wouldnt have been able to read it pinned tl the gate. Sue - I plan on going next week. Send me a PM with your mobile. We will have a good source inside the stadium and hear quickly. We let others know today soon as we got the news.

Lora sent me a text from Cardiff saying it's been dry all afternoon. But the decision was made and I accept that

Its s*ds law really. South of Coventry its now a lovely day. Very dry and very mild. In fact its warm enough for me to do that big garage sort out I promised I would do as soon as possible. Ah well - these things happened. Will try again next week

Thanks Cat, I generally shop in Stratford and they dont do it in town. So I may go over to Leam on Monday and hope they still have a copy. Cheers Jo - i will let you know - thanks

This problem should be resolved by the end of March. I sound authorative but thats because I have this information from a VERY good source! Pillow talk Thats nice! No where locally sells it anymore so unless its in he season and I get one from the stadium I cant purchase the SS when I want a particular copy. And I wanted this one for the guide!

Ive tried but it wont let me. Technology is beyond me!

I am thank Bryn - spoke to Lynette the other night. After Roo had beaten Jason and Leigh, You could hear how pleased they all were. Hopefully he will keep it up although Sydney not as good as Newcastle. A qualifer place is all he can hope for really with Jason in such good form. And that is looking good

Sorry if I didnt name them personally Bryn. but I thought I had thanked them Dont normally see personal thank you's on the Live Updates website - just thanks to the team.

my name is Sandie - not sheila

With respect Bryn you will have noticed that at the start of my post I say that Yahoo has now come through with results and how grateful we are. I also paste frequently the website that the results come from on numerous threads. Also if you boher to go onto the Yahoo site you will see that I have thanked Ron on that site for their work and how we appreciate it in the Uk but maybe I wont bother in the future Edit - Just been to the Yahoo website to have a read about todays meting and I cant see my post. I added it as a reply to one of Shona's scores but obviously Im doing something wrong. Couldnt get to grips with it last season either. So - if anyone goes on there looking for my post it isnt there. But I will be sending my apologies to Ron (if I can use the site) for upsetting him and Bryn 2nd Edit - Now I cant even send a personal message to Ron. it wont let me. Guess I will just stay away from these pages for the rest of the tour. Just read the information for myself and not bother sharing as I dont want to upset people

There's a couple of results confussing me as well RacerX but need to look carefully at my scribbings when not a work to see where I went wrong. Also I was under the impression that FINAL scores didnt get added to the totals for the series. But that great spreadsheet of scores shows differently. Im confussed!!

Sorry - doing this from work and someone had the cheek to call as I was typing. Dont they know this is more important!!! Edit - Which 2 of the many are your Aussies Buck?? Edit (again) - http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/aus_speedway_bikes/

Yahoo now coming through with some results. (I was just impatient - and grateful to the Aussies for keeping us updated ) Heat 1 Crump, Woodward, Schlein, McGowan Heat 2 Gathercole, Harding, Proctor, Stead (ef) Heat 3 Adams, Batchelor, Holder, Doyle Heat 4 Nicholls, Lemon, Johnstone, Hedley heat 5 Adams, Schlein, lemon, Proctor Heat 6 Stead, Doyle, Nicholls, McGowan Heat 7 Johnston, Woodward, Gathercole, Batchelor Heat 8 Crump, Hedley, Holder, Harding Heat 9 Schlein, Stead, Batchelor, Holder Heat 10 Johnston, Proctor, Holder, McGowan Heat 11 Adams, Nicholls, Woodward, Harding Heat 12 Crump, Gathercole, Lemon, Doyle Heat 13 Holder, Gathercole, Nicholls, Schlein Heat 14 McGowan, Lemon, Batchelor, Harding Heat 15 Doyle, Woodward, Hedley, Proctor Heat 16 Crump, Johnstone, Adams, Stead Heat 17 Schlein, Doyle, Johnstone, Harding Heat 18 Adams, Hedley, Gathercole, McGowan Heat 19 Lemon, Holder, Stead, Woodward Heat 20 Crump, Nicholls, Batchelor, Proctor B FINAL 1st Chris Holder 2nd Mark Lemon 3rd Cory Gathercole 4th Scott Nicholls (EF) A FINAL 1st Jason Crump 2nd leigh Adams 3rd Rory Schlein 4th Steve Johnstone

Anyone got anything. Please. Cant even find anything on the Yahoo site.

Bydgoscz is the most popular but as its right at the end of the season and there are no hotel spaces left in the town I would pick something else Prague is great, very popular and you always bump into somone from speedway as its cheap. Copenhagen was fun but more expensive and not as much atmosphere as people tend to do the cheaper ones. See what accomodation is about for them all, that might help. Also why not look at the travel plus tours - that way if you going alone you have agroup of like minded people with you. Let us know what you pick ad good luck - enjoy

I know this is only one heat but to read the reports about Rory's racing is great and why I plan on an extra bottle or two tonight!! Blimy Jason - I've heard of some excuses but this one is the best!! Next youll be telling us the colour of the kit was wrong and the grey was getting lost in the dull conditions!! (Thats one for Saints fans everywhere! )

and you can fnd the points here post #23 http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/ind...pic=30602&st=20 hopefully I have got them right!!

No problem Oz. I know I am being a bit premature here but is the title decided on an accumilation of points gathered over the 20 heats per meeting? Or do you get anything for the final as well. If Rory can keep this up I will be very pleased. Lunch - what happened to Rory in the final - I need details please!!!! (when your sober!! )

Using the great service from http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/aus_speedway_bikes I have put the following together Heat 1 Nicholls, McGowan Doyle, Stead Heat 2 Johnston, Batchelor, woodward, Gathercole Heat 3 Schlein, Crump, Lemon, Harding Hear 4 Adams, Holder, Headley, proctor Heat 5 Headley, Doyle, Lemon, woodward Heat 6 Schlein, Adams, Johnston,McGowan Heat 7 Crump, Stead, Batchelor, Proctor Heat 8 Nicholls, Holder, Gathercole, Harding Heat 9 Crump, Holder, JHohnston, Doyle Heat 10 McGowan, HArding, Woodward, Proctor Heat 11 Stead, lemon, Gathercole, Adams (EF) Heat 12 Nicholls, Hedley, Schlein, Batchelor Heat 13 Adams, Doyle, Batchelor, Harding Heat 14 Crump, Headley, McGowan, Gathercole Heat 15 Schelin, Holder, Stead, Woodward (EF) Heat 16 Johnston, Nicholls, Lemon, Proctor Heat 17 Schlein, Doyle, Gathercole, Proctor Heat 18 Lemon, Holder, Batchelor, McGowan Heat 19 Johnston, Hedley, Stead, Harding Heat 20 Crump, Nicholls, Woodward, Adams (EF) A FINAL CRUMP JOHNSTON NICHOLLS SCHLEIN (EF) B FINAL Adams Holder Headley Lemon Any errors blame that fact that I cant find my glasses at the moment and doing this by braille!!!! Also if someone lets me know the scoring format (I assume its 3,2,1,) I will add that as well.

And so they begin. Good luck Rory - There is some stiff competition out there this year but a Aussie GP Qualifing Place will be perfect. Good Luck

Sorry Trackman - but my mummy taught me to share!!! Seems as if Cory Gathercole is the overall winner today and off to play with the big boys. How many qualify and what happened to Harding and others? Maybe someone will be able to post all the details when they have them. Thanks
