  1. it was chaos at Birmingham last year when they "lost their signal", fortunately I had cash on me and got in using that... also some clubs (Leicester!) add a CC surcharge
  2. For me it wasn't as good as the weaker field line-up from the end of last season... but then this attracted double the crowd, so go figure. Heat 20! was worth the 3 hour trip up from Leicester including a 45 minute motorway closure and a 2 and a half hour trip home with another motorway closure! To those that say fans have no appetite for individual meetings, last night was a near sell out, proving that if you can assemble the right line-up the fans will turn out
  3. Are you suggesting that Leicester don't do enough to promote the sport in the city?
  4. There haven't been drawn matches for years with the league points scoring system
  5. After the recent shocking passing of Shane Warne "the ball of the century" got a lot of air play and it was amusing to listen to Richie Benaud & Bob Willis almost dead pan commentary. These days the windows of the commentary box would be blown out with the reaction!
  6. Let's not also forget that it was only a few years ago that it was Emil boycotting the SGP!
  7. Piers Morgan isn't shelling nuclear power stations though. I'm not disagreeing with you... it's a complete no win situation for everybody
  8. Emil "follows" the President of Russia on twitter... hardly a denouncement
  9. Yep, the whole world has just become a much more dangerous place... especially for Russian's. There's going to be a generation or more of Ukrainians that will have anyone or anything Russian in their sights. Such madness smh
  10. And if they denounce the war it'll probably be just as dangerous, especially if they travel to Cardiff via Salisbury! I can see both sides, they both seem like decent blokes (Emil) especially, it's a no win situation really without changing nationality but would you do that to ride Speedway and earn a good living if it meant possibly not seeing your family again.
  11. Probably true, but a bit harsh, on that thinking you could say why even run the match. But it's sport and anything could happen, that's why we watch it.
  12. Shame it's on a Monday evening, I'll still try an get up though, generally worth it at the NSS
  13. I always find listening to commentary of Tennis on the radio completely pointless... although silence on the radio doesn't work well either
  14. It was Colin Martin... I always like his style, for video at least, was never polished enough for TV imo
  15. I actually did ask them about this and whether they'd be available during the winter with a "season" pass... the reply was "The season pass will run until 31st October". Which of course means that you may miss the Play Off Finals
  16. Scott Nicholls also did a few, only available on YouTube though i think, is that the speedway chat show? Not sure. Speedway Social's Super Seven is another
  17. Greg Hancock does/did one. I've listened to a couple with Erik Gundersen and Per Jonsson and they were pretty good. Reel45
  18. they did like a greasy burger and chips from the burger van back in the day
