  1. i've booked Premier Inn Denton, stayed there before and it's a 10 minute drive away, £48 on the friday
  2. https://shop.gbspeedwayteam.com/
  3. Ellis signing certainly a game changer, number 1 most of the season i reckon
  4. Cardiff and Warsaw both need to remain on the calendar, fantastic weekends at both but slightly different reasons. Cardiff very much a 'mix' in the city before and after, very social, with some good racing mixed in, Warsaw is an amazing atmosphere with a full 55,000 noisy fans and some good racing (although i love the city too). i just wish it was possible sometime to have the world champion crowned in the UK
  5. might be why they are looking at earlier in March?
  6. happening the week before season starts according to CVS at the recent WSRA dinner in talks with one track but there's a backup if necessary
  7. i am another that thinks Ulrich will thrive at Glasgow, it's a good RACE track which he needs more than many
  8. and confidence is one of the biggest traits in a speedway rider - no confidence in equipment will show in rider body language
  9. any ideas when the Monster sponsorship deal runs to? i know people don't like it but it IS a big name sponsor
  10. i was quite vocal that Adam needed replacing .. nice bloke and all that but was a liability away, Webbo couldn't see it and said he'd never go again if they got rid of Adam. the trophies soon flooded in for the PL days including either 2 or 3 trebles
  11. reminds me of Adam Allott .. the rest of the team pretty much knew they would be one rider down at away meetings which has a massive affect on the mentality. as soon as Allott was replaced by the fit again Doolan the club started winning trophies
  12. my pictures from the WSRA Gala Dinner 23.11.19 https://www.flickr.com/photos/the_womble/albums/72157711954067898
  13. so they have to change the scoring for SoN too then regarding qualifying, i definitely feel for Mikkelsen, with the extra wildcards it just gives more scope for riders in the World Championship to be chosen around a desk, depending on what country they are from. i love the GPs, but we need unbiased qualifying. After the final GP of the season have the challenge how they started to do it years ago, bottom 8 from GP and 8 qualifiers, top 7 going through
  14. greyhound toilet from what i remember! agree about the track though, made wider could get it back to being one of the best
  15. it certainly used to be .. i worked for Phil Pratt for a bit around '83 and that's pretty much how it was when he was one of the top tuners, and i've also been to Peter Johns shed in his mums garden
  16. shame clubs can't think about sorting track surfaces etc with tv money instead of wages, better racing will keep people happy
  17. was under the impression Iversen was only doing Poland next year
  18. so links with F1, wonder if Robin Brundle gave Buster the heads up?
  19. but in the "good old days" doubling up was only a British & Commonwealth thing, now it's anyone
  20. if domestic speedway is to be shown then surely it would make sense to have a highlights show instead of live. with all the moaning and compaints about the live meetings it has to be better to compile the best races from various meetings and show what the sport CAN offer, rather than letting people sit through 2 hours of boredom. if that encourages people to go watch a live meeting there is always the chance they will stay as regulars, any sport is better live
