I really , really , really hope the world champion in 2007 is ..........Hans Andersen

Aye , we can have that at Wembley

She'll love every minute Snapper . I took my 11 year old daughter this year and she was awestruck . She is used to watching speedway at Ashfield along with just a few hundred people . Take plenty of money to run the gauntlet of airhorn and flag sellers . And after last Friday i suspect it will be a Danish flag for 2007.

Never mind talking about another club in Scotland or Wales as South coast robin mentions - how the hell does it seem impossible now to have a club in the nations capital . It's criminal that there isn't a thriving league club in London .

We did have another team in Scotland (briefly in the mid-seventies ) at Paisley , but that quickly folded . Geographically we are too far north to support any more sides - the three that have been mentioned struggle to crack the 1000 barrier as it is . Plus being this far north the travelling expenses paid out to riders is huge and it is a tough task to attract them in the first place .

One never knows Mods are a breed apart

BTL So i take it you're not going to be pounding the motorways with the rest of us on the three day trip .

Grahame Dawson was present at the recent glasgow 60th anniversary meeting . He was looking very well considering and i was happy to see he was walking and talking and seemed in good health .

But the danes also have a couple of world class riders

Is there a rule there has to be a british rider in it , because try as he might , scott just doesnt look up to it at that level .

There is only ever 4 riders in a race - how hard can it be to identify 4 riders correctly

Best GP of the season . Nicki P was a worthy winner on the night , but has any televised sport had a more clueless commentator . That effort in the final was a joke .

Didnt help him though did it .

Ht 13 looks a cracker Jonsson ,Jagus , Nicki P + Crump . Whats the odds on crump being last .

This is turning into a fantastic GP - but at the moment its hard to look beyond Nicki Pedersen or Jagus .

Brilliant from Pedersen , but what is wrong with the aussies ?

Here we go Nicki + Gollob

Before this race millard informed us lindback hadnt scored in 6 GP races here . So you just knew what was going to happen next . Well done antonio

Ht 7 - that was fantastic speedway .

Another race where the outside gates were out of it from the 1st and 2nd bend . Its only been the poles , who had to battle from the back , who have coped from the outside gates .

Yes , brilliant ride from Jagus .

Looks like gates 3 + 4 are not going to throw up many race winners . Richardson made a decent enough start , but there was no grip on the outside .

Suppose it all depends on him having a GP place or not .

Some of us are usually at newport on the friday

After reading this in the scottish sun today i wish i was going now - From the tartan armys travel handbook Under the section - women of the world Boozy polish girls score full marks in the availability stakes . The guide says :- "If a bloater like me can get propositioned dailly , then you cannot fail " . The DRUNKS OF THE WORLD section dismisses the notion that scots are the worlds most notorious boozers . A tartan army member reveals :-" Poland must be the drunkest country in europe - fuelled by industrial-strength beer and top-drawer vodka ." So i hope you all enjoy yourselves and return safely and im dead jealous . One footnote for the latvian GP . In the TOILETS OF THE WORLD section a fan revealed :- "Majori station toilets in latvia consisted of a sloping gutter with standing and squatting positions and best of all , a single toilet roll on the opposite wall .If it wasnt for the grizzled babushka charging 15p a go , i would have been in for photos like a shot ." So you have been warned
