Simple answer, go out under cover of darkness with some spray paints and spray the Kings logo all over the side of Allied Carpets, it what the little street chavs do and they get away with it scott free, so why can't anyone else In honesty though, good luck to the Kings fans on getting your plaque, a small token which will obviously mean a lot to so many, some people make no sense in not allowing something like this.

That is generally due to fans not wanting to travel across Europe or even half way across the World for a one off meeting which their team may not be in and who wants to watch a meeting with teams that they don't support, especially at higher prices than a usual league meeting. If this was to be a big tournament then fans would have a guarentee of group matches etc that they could travel and watch plus more if their team is succesful, most if not all speedway nations have at least 7/8 riders, whether they are household names in Britain is irrelevant, if they aren't up to World standard then they won't qualify

Yes they can... Football's World Cup is a HUGE spectacle, Speedway's unfortunately is not in comparison, moving from country to country meeting to meeting is not coherent and a pointless excercise, the meetings are pretty hypocritical, racing for your country but not taking to the track with another countryman in the whole tournament as the races are all individual affairs, maybe run a world cup every other year, with the off year being used for qualifiers, then make the world cup a week/fortnight long (as long as it is at the moment) spectacle in one nation comprising of test matches. qualification would also be staged as test matches and nations such as Romania, Austria, New Zealand could get a look in for once...

Presumably, if there is footage of the crash, there must be more from the meeting floating around, the 6 second clip is over in a flash and it is hard to draw any conclusions from it, if Bishop is right and it was a first bend incident, then it would be interesting to see this and work out from that if his views were correct.

Even in the 50's how can you let that happen Raniszewski seems to just disappear on impact and having watched the video in slow motion, I may be wrong but it looks like a large amount of blood on the wall behind which wasn't there before the crash... absolutely horrible.

change the record

Mon the Jessie!!

Sorry, there is no other answer here than the simple one. Rico was droped from the Peterboroguh squad, it gave him a kick up the backside, he gets his chance back in the side last night and gets 17 point because he knows he has to do well and is not irreplaceable. Think Button this year in F1 or Becks in the England football team. The bloke has the talent that is certain, he just has to apply himself a bit more and he could still do a lot in this sport.

Personally I think it is simple. If we had gone into the meeting with Nicholls, Richardson etc, riders who, with all will in the world have reached their level and are on the way down if anything. We would still have finished third, putting ourselves in the same situation we are already in. The way it has been done however has helped our up and coming lads get valuable experience at one of the highest levels. Come the run-off, we probably will see the older guard back in, whether this will get us to the final or not is debateable, if I was in charge however, i'd stick with the young lads, let them have a go, who knows what they could do.

Ridiculous post completely 1.) The track was Peterborough, not Kings Lynn. 2.) GB had no home advantage, the GB riders don't race for Peterborough every week. 3.) Oh and hang on, perhaps he was asked because his team's manager is also in charge of the national team. PS: You only need to use 1 piece of punctuation, three question/exclamation marks don't make the point important.

Sayfutdinov, look at his website

Would be good for sure, but a cautionary note, once you have subscribed to Setanta, they are a bugger to cancel. I had a free month's viewing on a freeview box which you had to claim once you had cancelled your subscription, which I did, got my months free viewing then they started to take money again, so I have had to cancel the direct Debit and have a logn converation with a man from Setanta about whether i meant to cancel or to quote him, was it "an error of judgement" anyway rant over, but beware

Any in Britain which has hosted speedway but now shut down that i haven't been too, with special mention to Wembley, Trelawny, New Cross, Hackney and Hyde Road i'd say.

How about a World Cup every four years. 1.) Adds Prestige to the event. 2.) Could be run in one nation over two weeks. Qualifiers take place in the three non World Cup years and are done 1 via location and 2 via seeding, very much like the football world cup. Format would take some adjusting but it could work.

wuld be a good competition even if it had to be that only the top 2 divisions were involved it would still create a lot of revenue and would be a great spectacle.

This could possibly be solved by riders who double up ride for their lower division team and their spots in the higher division team go to riders who have been frozen out in the winter, thus giving frozen out riders a chance to still have some competitive racing

But because of the money the fixture would generate it wouldnt matter as it would help with financial stability still like i say it would need more in depth planning but there must be a way of doing it and making it fair.

Why not? Would be a great draw for any conference league team even if they were going to get beaten, the money coming in from the amount of fans who would go to watch would help the clubs no end, plus fans would get a chance to visit a track they would otherwise not go to.

How about: All teams in from the start. No EL riders over a 7.5 average. EL Riders over a 7.5 average replaced by CL grade 1/2's If 2 teams from different leagues: one leg at lower league teams track. If 2 teams from same league: one leg at each track Final to be raced at a neutral Venue not in the league of either final competitiors and in between the two tracks geographically. would have flaws but that could be a good basis of such competition and if planned in more detail it could come to something.

Yeah Brighton counts you may remember Redcar trying to run a meeting last December, they had to say it was Grasstrack and have 5 riders a race as otherwise they wouldnt have been able to run it. In the end it was rained off though.

Cant be done over the close season either only one meeting per month is permitted between November and February

R.I.P Kenny Words cannot describe how i feel you will be missed by all
