last time i went in the stadium, 2008

grew up going to Wimbledon, grandad worked there, mum and dad worked there and met there, i worked just behind in Copper Mill Lane and used to nip round in my lunch hour to chat with Maido, so many memories and that's all being smashed in :/

i preferred the old bigger track in the 80's

an example of what i mean

the issue i've noticed the last couple of years mainly is that more and more riders are using the neck brace, so whether it's kevlars or race jackets the sponsors are generally covered anyway, as well as team names in some cases. the straps for these braces go over the racejacket/kevlar and it looks pretty nasty so a redesign of where sponsors and team logos go is something that needs looking at

pay no attention to the Poole rider, you should be listening to Starman, he knows best!

shouldn't have to do a bank transfer, there were plenty of options and there were certainly card payment options

i'm doing 4 nights/5 days and don't speak Polish, did 3 last year and all fine. with regards to DECENT seats, you'll get right at the top as that is all that will be left

there would be a lot of riders not riding

always makes me wonder why the captain signs knowing full well that him and/or others are owed money

SWC/SoN break

AGM should be held in the summer break, lets know what's going on early, so everyone can plan ahead. No point waiting and arguing and then we're at season start

Kenny had a great sense of humour, always had a good laugh with him

i do know that Rye House are keeping their BMR girls at the tapes this year

never know, might be able to work around it .. i want to see Ted in the PL this season

i think grasstrack and longtrack might take up some time this year

a lot of time is taken between heat 14 and 15, if the riders in heat 14 aren't going to be in the last race i can't see why it takes so long

so why wasn't the Poole track sorted years ago?

not sure it's that, Guy Nicholls is still the main sponsor with some other very good sponsors involved too, plus some new ones

out of all the tracks the 4s could have gone to, i'm not too disappointed with Redcar. always like going there and have seen some good racing, although i'm another that would like to see the back straight used

something that needs to be thought about from the top is how seeding/grading will work, not just this year but also the future. if the competition becomes alternate years with the SWC then the pairs seeding/results from one year compared to a full 4 man team could be incredibly different

yeah looked at car prices from Hamburg and pretty reasonable, just might all depend on the draw now although i'm still thinking of going whatever

spoke to Robin Brundle yesterday and think he's certainly going to make a difference
