How did wearing the Union Flag go down in Wales?

Also worth noting that Denmark seems to be shut on a Sunday

Joe Screen and his zebra suit was memorable and the suit he had with arm tassels... I also remember Doug Wyer having arm tassels and was it the whole Mildenhall team or just I seem to remember Ray Bales?

Photo?

So they did, as did Sudden Sam for his title win... I do think the Kevlars are so much more brighter and striking though

As I'm a little bored at work and just seen the SGP Facebook post asking who had the best Race Suit this season... Got me thinking about the most memorable I've seen. Steve Bastable sticks out for me when he had black and white checks, I always think pure white is particularly striking and quite rare, I can only remember Eric Riss this season and Andreas Jonsson a few years back. Wiggy green with his splats, Jan Staechmann

Or one little one at the current rate of closures and for sale boards

So we see the same top teams in the semis and final? You'd just be replicating the league in miniture

Albert Einstein is widely credited with saying, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results."

KK is rubbish in a lot of stuff... But then he can put a season together from nowhere that bags him a world silver medal. That's possibly why the current qualification system doesn't suit a rider like him, he could have easily not qualified or got a wildcard for the series one year (10th) and then come 2nd in the world the next... And then rubbish again the year after (15th). He's the exception to the rule

I believe KK may have made the top 8, equally he could have gone through the whole series without scoring a point, that's what you get with KK. And I think Jarek Hampel may have done something, he's certainly got the experience and is still a world beater on his day, I'd like to think he has unfinished business in the GP's if he can put his mind to it

Better than "sorting" them the day before the grand final

Stayed at the Scandic in Kolding, flew into Aarhus on the Ryanair and hired a car for the weekend

Didn't Woffy win his 2nd championship when Emil elected not to compete? I think it was the year that Emil won the SEC, I remember thinking at the time can Woffy really claim to be World Champion when a rider of Emil's quality and the form he was in was not in the competition... Then I thought yes he can

The trouble is running the cup comps at the end of the season, as tends to happen now, is that you get the same teams in the league play offs and the cup comps due to them being the strongest at the end of the season and then you get clubs having to run double headers against the same team and having the same team visit 2 or 3 weeks on the trot. If they were run throughout the season as they used to be clubs that don't make the play offs would also have a chance at extending their season. If Leicester had been in the cup at the beginning of the season they may have got further than they did by the time their team had been decimated

You're a very silly person, don't dare to presume what I think

Does that include Sam Ermolenko, Ronnie Correy and all of the Karlsson's?

Brining it back to Britain's greatest ever speedway rider for a moment... Does anybody know what's happened to the real World Championship trophy and why he's not showing it off in place of that cheap piece of tat he's been given

I'm pretty sure Les was using one at Leicester in the lead up to the 82 world final... May explain his phenomenonal form that year

I'll agree that having a lot of meetings packed into a short space of time with double headers, against the same opposition is pretty poor but the last home match at Leicester was Monday September the 3rd... 2 months of the season still to go, Belle Vue finished a month early...

I thought he was one of the early riders to ride the new (at the time) GM engine. Les was one of the most underrated naturally talented riders I've ever seen

22degs at Peterborough on Saturday night

I think you need a new owner first!

It's ok to reflect society but the BBC massively over represents minorites that suit them, one assumes because the organisation is lead by people of these minorites. It's almost impossible to turn on a BBC programme these days without having one minority or another's issue being rammed in your face. I'm not opposed at all to any minority at all having air time but it must be proportional to their population. The same goes for Speedway, just because men's football is the most popular sport in the country/world doesn't automatically mean that the women's version of the game should also be equal, the quality is no where near the same as the men's game you only have to look at the attendances and the match scores to see this

The Speedway season runs from March until October, so as it's only halfway through October and it looks as if all the fixtures will be complete by the end of the month, I'd say that it's been planned to perfection
