  1. Won't be back from the GP in time, so BV will have to survive without my patronage.
  2. But neither Lakeside nor Poole are competing with The Aces for a play-off spot, which I think is the critical factor at play.
  3. Raining really heavily to the West of M/cr. If this is heading to Kirky Lane, it will be off
  4. That's a shame as he rode really well last night. Chasing a lost cause in heat 15 and came a right cropper exiting the fourth bend of the last lap
  5. If and and it's a big if, Belle Vue qualify, Cov will most probably pick BV, as they ride our track better than their own. Poole vs KL over two legs could be tight, depends who turns up on the nights.
  6. Would love to see him back riding at Belle Vue for the Peter Craven Memorial meeting at our new stadium.
  7. Was there on Friday watching the Aces and have to confess that I like my visits to Lakeside. It would be great for the sport if, as part of the deal (if there is a deal), Lakeside carried on with a new up-to-date stadium which was marketed well. Before the meeting I spent some time at the Lakeside shops and didn't see any evidence of a speedway meeting that evening being marketed. Lakeside, like Belle Vue, has a large catchment area and both should be getting better crowds than they do.
  8. And history does often repeat itself. With the new stadium and more control of income streams, the phoenix could well rise again.
  9. Oh dear - Can't see Aces getting much out of this
  10. Does anyone have any ideas as to who the guest riders are tomorrow? You get more coming out of a Masonic Lodge meeting than you do from either the Lakeside or Belle Vue web sites.
  11. And a quick mention for the much maligned GRA, who honoured their word from last week and made parking available free of charge on production of last weeks ticket.
  12. Don't think Zagar "let" HArris through. Fine ride by Bomber - give credit where it's due.
  13. No co-ordination at all. They were still letting people in to the Car Park after the meeting had been called off. As I objected to paying £2.50 for one minutes parking, I complained. The Showsec employee went to speak to someone from the "GRA Management" and I was told that I could obtain free parking on Monday if I retained my parking ticket and bring it with me, which I will do. Some people were asking me what to do with their admission ticket and hopefully I provided the correct advice. Really feel sorry for the Wolves fans. Rain-offs sadly are part and parcel of the sport, but this one could and should have been called earlier. One more nail in th ecoffin, I'm afraid to say
  14. If Bjarne is the answer, then it's a stupid question.
  15. But where would that leave the likes of Zagar and Vaculik who probably reside at home, where there are weak to non-existent leagues?
  16. Perhaps these are the key words: "I won’t be able to promote speedway in the Elite League or Premier League at Perry Barr next season." Does this leave the door open to Cradley at National League level, I wonder?
  17. Yep, we should leave it all up to Labour, the masters of knowing what's best for us.
  18. Excellent idea - so most probably won't happen. Boris has announced today that he's going to stand for parliament in 2015, so maybe the London slant might not be appropriate, but certainly a good idea to invite someone often pictured on two wheels along to our showcase event.
  19. Used to enjoy watching Bobby Ott & Frede Schott for Belle Vue and used to hate Sam Ermolenko and Ronnie Corrie for the Wolves in heat 15 at Belle Vue - invariably it ended in a 1-5 and a loss for BV
  20. He's still the same at Belle Vue.
