  1. Take those glasses off.I thought SS had left the forum.I use to value your post's as being unbiased but lately their becoming quite the opposite. Darcy got beat,even after trying for four full laps but to no avail.
  2. That's the one I was thinking of Starlady.But didn't google that as I assumed Bunce was looking for something different to the one played at Norwich.But that is the one Bunce is looking for I think. Great tune,love it.
  3. I'm sure this has been mentioned before,i think Starlady had the answer.I know the tune but can't put a name to it. Try to pm Starlady I'm sure she will know.
  4. No,as I said I don't take anything to the SWC.Only my wallet and the clothes I am wearing.
  5. Seems like ColinMills doesn't like anything about King's Lynn speedway. In my umpteen years of going to Lynn I have never had my bag searched or food/drinks taken off me.Only at the SWC does this occur so we know not to take anything,blimey you even have to drink the free monster energy drink you get just before you get in. There are signs saying about no personal food/drink allowed into the stadium,it's been there a while not sure how long though.I'm afraid this happens at most major events throughout the UK. As regards the men searching your bags,i have never ever seen these at King's Lynn speedway before.If you look at the terms and conditions of your ticket the event organisers can search you bags although this is meant to be on safety grounds. I think people are making mountains out of molehills here,just on one event that happens to occur at King's Lynn.It could be at another track and I bet the same would happen. You also mentioned it's common knowledge you cant take your own food/drink to the cinema is it common knowledge?
  6. Totally agree with you on this.People just seem to complain no matter what. God I remember seeing and odd race on World of Sport from the world finals years ago.I am so happy how far it has come as far as television goes.Not really bothered about the commentary,some of it makes me laugh,some of it makes me cringe but hey we have live speedway.If people are that bothered I am sure they have a mute button on their remote controls
  7. Something against the Danes?Terrific servants to the British leagues over the years. Anyway money has to be on Poland,then I think Aussies and Denmark not far behind.But I will be behind the underdogs all the way,bring out the bulldog spirit,come on team GB
  8. Think he should have been excluded first time out,but certainly wasn't anything wrong with his move on Franc in the re-run.Franc didn't seem to bothered by it neither,he made a small mistake and Kildemand was through.
  9. The tracks named are mostly PL where I think sides are more balanced and should give better racing.And the strength of the Swedish league also should give better racing.What could tell us a bit about the NA is to get a couple of Swedish teams,Lynn And Poole to have a four team tournament around it
  10. Let's be honest the shape has been pretty much the same for years.So surely it's not got much to do with the shape.The constant watering down of the league and many mis-matched races may be one reason,and what someone else said earlier the bikes themselves are a contributing factor.
  11. Don't think Star Fever has Poole tinted glasses on.
  12. I am going to contradict myself here on the Darcy thing,I think he enjoys the camera in front of him when he's winning so must also expect the camera to be there when he is losing under whatever circumstances.He's just got to live with it.On the other hand incidents like this really get the crowd going and is great for the atmosphere of the meeting.More incidents like this in may bring some fans back who knows. A friend of mine came for the first time and he loved that sort of thing it just gave him an excuse to boo the Aussies,and the time it looked like Woodward gave a hand gesture to the crowd.So while I think it's stupid I also think it's brilliant
  13. Quite agree racing wasn't that good last night,possibly down to practice a few hours earlier or even the weather being too damn hot all week and not being able to get a good bit of moisture in the track,i dunno.They said Buster had been putting water down all day,apart from when they were practising of course.And after a few heats it became a bit dusty. Having said all of the above the atmosphere does it for me aswell and with 90% of the crowd cheering team GB on I love it.Took a couple of mates last night aswell one for the first time and he absolutely loved it.So it proves if you can get a good atmosphere at matches the racing doesn't always have to be brilliant to encourage people to come.Incidentally I probably wouldn't go to Cardiff if the atmosphere wasn't as good as it is as we have seen some poor ones there as well. No traffic problems for me neither,mind you I did come the back roads Come unstuck going home though got stuck in the middle of 5 bloody combines for about 3 miles before I could take another alternative route home
  14. On the USA situation they didn't have an option but to put young Ruml in.Fisher was going to ride until he got injured.
  15. What a great GP so far,can we have every GP at Malilla please.Iversen had some balls in ht 8.
  16. Don't normally watch Polish speedway but thought I would give it a go on the little magic box on the tv.Managed to find it on LSHunter and watching it now on a 40inch
  17. Can't quite believe all the crap aimed at a 15 year old lad on here.So what if he said what he said.The lad is sure to think GB has turned there back on him,would he be where he is today if it wasn't for having those competitive meetings on the continent.Probably not. Can't believe,assuming we are mainly adults on here that a few of you have to slate a young lad who wants to make his way in the sport.At least he isn't out there doing what a lot of teenagers are doing. Oh and I love the comment about adjusting his starting average so Lynn would have to find a replacement,because King's Lynn could just replace him with yes you've got it Robert Lambert himself.
  18. Why would it take out four wages?The NL boys could be in demand so could get a higher points money.And at the end of the day there will always be the same amount of points up for grabs in a match.At present teams have to be paid on 90pts in a match regardless of who rides for who.The only way to bring costs down is to pay less per point.
  19. Yeah,enjoyed my travels to Dudley Wood,especially for the pork sarnies,gorgeous
  20. Quite looking forward to KL v Mildenhall with the tie nicely poised.Can't stop to watch the MDL as I have to be at work by 21:45 in Wisbech.
  21. He obviously has had his comitments abroad sorted early on,so why should he ride here and let the others down.I like his ambition especially by going abroad so he could get competitive racing from a young age.
  22. Was looking forward to going to this meeting,but with all the absences it has a feel of a normal EL meeting.Bit disappointed but if my daughter still wants to I will go,if she don't I won't simples.
  23. No I don't mean it is fair to do it that way.What I meant is if say Leicester's last meeting was called off and couldn't get the re-staging before the cut off date they would have been in sixth.
  24. To be fair though if you took Leicester's last match off so you had both ridden 23 matches each.Leicester would then be in the play-offs.Crazy eh.
  25. Don't forget he is still only a kid of 15 yrs old.Things he will learn in good time.How many kids do behave like this anyway,when he gets to 18,19,20yrs old then that would be the time to judge whether he's a spoilt brat or not .What I have seen of him this year he certainly has the talent,courage and speed to go further in the sport.Lets not knock our kids before they really get going in the sport they all need our encouragement.
