SPEEDY69

Not that many rain offs though. 94 was a good event, didn't want TR to win but that's speedway.

Will be going to this - second time I've been, first was 1994. Few days break for us & staying in Haderslev. Taking a brolly!

Been to Latvia twice. First time I travelled from Riga to Daugavpils for the GP and the second time stayed in Riga on the weekend of the postponed/moved GP. Great place, very rural outside of Riga but had a good place to stay in the second city - I travelled to Dauga on the bus. Didn't have any additional vaccinations, didn't get ill and food and drink were fine - Riga is a lovely city.

Difficult to avoid for live events, which is why I always prefer BBC coverage and have drifted away from other sports I used to enjoy such as Cricket. Can just about bear it to watch speedway coverage.

So, let's say 10 years at 5 minutes a day, that's over 300 hours sat fast forwarding. Good use of time.

The licence fee used to cover it all There's just too many channels now available and far too many bl00dy adverts.

I also could only watch it from the main Sky Q box - did you have to pay extra for multiroom access Geoff58? My subscription was the £10 a month through Sky.

I think he'd be awful - a few times I saw him last year in Sweden and was not impressed.

And they're only second strings these days.

Agreed. Complete toilet at that level.

I agree and also totally unnecessary. English is a rich language and if you cannot express yourself without using unnecessary words then it points to something. I also dislike 'like' 'revert back' 'literally' 'even' but I guess language evolves although with a 9 year old I do occasionally have to respond!

Guy Nicholls?

For himself/individually but not above him as far as team contribution goes. I'd never say Muller was above Jessup for example.

I think he'd be pony to be honest, no thanks.

Nicki not been quite the same rider since his facial work

Did it involve a semi-naked pic of Nicki?

Sadly, you're right.

I said this before, to have such a problem with a visa for work, must be a criminal matter.

I agree. Only Allen and Heeps for me, King is past his best, but can't see Hawkins staying without his best mate.

10 week season, no thanks.

Learnt that at Rye House.

I quite enjoyed watching it, seeing how some of the riders adapted and used their mind and skill, compared to those who are just throttle jockeys.

I also feel the GPs need shaking up - maybe less rounds, or new faces. It does feel like we're watching the same guys racing too many times and the results in one meeting have less significance to the title overall because there are a lot of rounds. However, it is a commercial enterprise so understand they need to maximise income. If, as you suggest, they give wildcards to 9/10th or this year 11/12th then why not simply make it the top 10 of those not already qualified? I think it's more to do with the countries they represent and for me, Laguta is as dull as.

Redcar definitely in the driving seat. Guest will strengthen them.

I'd keep Heeps, Allen and Sarjeant.
