That's a great help Dave, thanks very much.

I am looking at organising a trip to Pardubice for the three meetings there on the 27th, 28th and 29th September. Couple of questions for those in the know. 1. Any good reccomendations for accommodation in Pardubice? 2. What are the train services like between Prague and Pardubice, in particular the Sunday after the third day of racing, and how far is it? 3. Distance from Pardubice centre to the track, and taxi availability? Any help is greatly appreciated.

This post must have been used as an incentive.

Nick Morris in for Landshut.

It is good to see Barker's unsavoury antics brought to light at last, he's gone unoticed in other high profile events, which have seen others dragged through the gutter (obviously couldn't buy himself out of this one).... AND yes generally I do agree, its what they do on track that should count. Named at last - Thats all i'll say on the matter.

Looking forward to this meeting. The Devils do look quite handy on paper. Quite a few Aussies on show by the way.

It is relevent to the story because it sounds like Dick is trying to start a bidding war, he's entitled to do that but Nick still has to agree to a transfer. Nick Morris has to want to go to A particular track. . In this case he wanted to go to Swindon, and double up with Somerset, and i'm sure it will all get sorted out very shortly.

It needs to be remembered that a rider has to agree to a transfer. A club can't just ship a rider off to any old club, the rider has to be in agreement. Mr Dick forgot to mention that in the speedway star story.

Very very vulnerable bottom end. My guess is plenty of points to play with when the first lot of averages are released. If the good old boys don't hold there averages...oh dear.

Very true, but I don't think there was the interest in them at the time as there is in Fricke now...don't get me wrong Scotland is a great place to start a British career, i'm just surprised with this one.

Very surprised at Fricke's decision to head so far North. I'm sure he had other offers, and has gone against the advice of some keen observers no doubt. On the other hand i'm sure Horwood would have taken a huge chunck off any hand offering him a deal.

I'll take any bets that Horwood will not be anywhere near best newcomer.

Very big step for any young Aussie. Will do well to maintain the 5 point average in my opinion.

I think you are warm....very warm

A young Aussie with British patriality would fit nicely

Liking the look of this team

I have heard many other variations though.

Getting the pronounciation of the last signing right may take a while

Stretching this out aren't they? Record Thursday night beer sales at the OTA.

As mascot or chief motivator?????

Very plausible rumour I'd say

My mistake, I meant to say Royno had a good look.

I think Royno was at fault yes, but thats racing. The main talking point seems to be about the referee changing his mind after being influemced by someone who basically shouldn't have been anywhere near the referees box. Lets face it refs generally do not change their minds. Get well soon Adam, surely the unluckiest rider in speedway, time to seriously consider his future in the sport after so many bad injuries I think.

White takes out blue in my opinion. Neilsen has a good look then throws his body and back wheel into Roynon. Can't see how it could possibly be called any other way if the video was looked at.

Should be two cracking meetings, looks fairly even to me. My thoughts on the Sam Masters issue, well I know if I was sacked / deprived of earning money, I'd certainly give my all to make my former boss regeret their decision....could be a great choice of guest, and I bet its playing on the mind of certain people. If Auty is fully fit and Nick Morris can improve on his previous OTA performances, I think Scunny may well shade this....just.
