CONGRATS TAI YA BEAUT What an ass Tatum is proclaiming that Miedzinski has won the title for Tai....nope Tai won the title for Tai a fantastic race win.

or before you go out?

In their clash in the next race Tai and Hampel got the current best gates.

Hope the tv commentators who seem to be sat in a tin can calm down it wasn't that fantastic a race. Anyone seeing that race and thinking that is the best the sport has to offer won't be heading for their local track anytime soon lol. Ouch feeling a little queasy for most of that race come on Tai do a little better.

Nice win by Greg. I wonder if he realizes he's got to keep on rollin' for at least two more years as no point in having a US GP without an American in with a chance of winning the meeting.

He faces three poles including Hampel in heat 5...hmmm i think he best dawdle around at the back in that one out of range lol

Has he got his ear lobes done yet? Woweeee hasty edit the Monster girls stunningly (un)dressed tonight. Ok i keep to the speedway from now on.

Re Thread title Yessss! someone else using wUffy and not the ever so posh sounding wOffy lol.

So you reckon Hampel is going to win every one of his races including the semi-final and final!

??? There is a 'sticky' thread at the very top of the forum titled "S G P And S W C Race Cards Links Only " I've got three different versions available but rather than blow my own trumpet lol i'll link to them all. http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=72860&st=60

Maybe one of us has a strange accent lol but, whilst i know his name is spelt with an 'O', i would have thought the chant is pronounced WUFFY and not WOFFY? Can't remember Pearson shouting Woffy it would sound a very upper-class posh way of saying the word lol.

That's great news as he obviously won't need even 6 points and one would fear his biggest danger was if he was incapable of riding/racing his bike.

It's pretty unlikely he's going to need 6 points.

TBH i think the writing was on the wall well aside from the PL deal. I remember posting in 2011 that the writing was on the wall for speedway when in addition to the huge amounts they spent on a F1 channel they also signed up for every Golf tournament one could imagine. I think that was to give them a wall to wall filler as undoubtedly they would have got a discounted price for purchasing so much Golf. Which leaves us with blanket coverage of the same old, same old ball sports and no money for anything else.

Honestly R&R absolutely not, just the 1,2,3. However, like i say there is an option named 'custom' and upon clicking that it allows you to select 'all' from a drop down menu. It's on the blue bar under the 1,2,3 " Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 NEXT Recently Updated Start Date Most Replies Most Viewed Custom So no biggie all sorted

Where? I'm well puzzled now lol. All i see is the same as at the bottom, options to click on page 1, 2, 3 next. If one goes to page 3 the next option disappears. I know from a previous thread and it's responses i'm not the only one to only see three pages available. EDIT. Just seen though that there is a drop down menu available (under 'custom') that lets you see older threads.

No choice necessary BOTH at the same time of course Now Now behave! lol it's how the final table stands that matters which since the advent of the Premier League is usually with Manchester United on top

? who said that 16 or 29 million were watching at one time? I think it's clear even from the translated* (*just realised i'm quoting the English version) article that those are the TOTAL figures over all rounds, especially seeing it refers to 'REPEATS'.

Further information from the official site "SEC watched by 29 million views! Eurosport, which has been the exclusive broadcaster of the SEC, transmitted the series to over 70 countries in Europe and Asia Pacific. Average ratings of the four final rounds, held in Gdansk, Togliatti, Gorican, and Rzeszow, amounted to 210.000 viewers in Poland, and nearly a million in the rest of Europe. International transmission range covered 16.7 million, and 29 million including repeats. The most interesting was the last round of the battle for the European title, which took place in Rzeszow on 29th September. In Poland the transmission was watched by 273.000 viewers, and 1.2 million viewers globally. The potential audience for the competition that was held in the heart of the Podkarpacia region was 7.5 million viewers." Bearing in mind the Eurosport figures for the SGP were, if i remember rightly, around the 5-6 million mark* then i would have expected the SEC to have gained a larger number of viewers than they did. However it's still great for the sport to have made an impact and we got to see live in HD all the meetings so no complaints from me. I can't get the exact numbers off hand as sadly and very disappointingly the 'international' section of the forum now only goes back a paltry 3 pages!!! That's a great shame indeed as it is without a doubt the most informative section, it is/WAS full of a swathe of information that one could repeatedly refer to.

Cheers a timely reminder to jog and unfog one's memory.

Similarly output from FIM/FIM EUROPE/BSI etc and their cohorts are equally unbalanced. The solution is simple and do what i do with any story in the media to do with anything and that is seek out partizan media sources and read both sides of an argument or belief etc. even if the view you disagree with is distasteful to you, then use your own noggin to try and discern what is what. And nooooo don't ask me what is what lol.

Matt Ford named the group not me, hence the commas and italicised font indicating a quote Indeed many of us have all season long in a variety of threads, but guess the promoter doesn't check out what fans are thinking by dropping into the forum. Mind you they'd probably need to be very thick-skinned and not prone to depression to do so lol.

Surprised that in this discussion nobody has picked up on Matt Ford's comments the other day in a Bournemouth Echo article http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/speedway/piratesnews/10706087.Pirates__Ford_reveals_fears_over_possible_big_name_exodus/ A couple of snippets; PIRATES chief Matt Ford has issued a stark warning to sports fans: Tomorrow night could be your last chance to see Darcy Ward in the skull and crossbones. The Poole promoter claimed big-name riders – including Australian superstar Ward – might not return to Britain next year should the shale sport lose TV funding. “As things stand at the moment, it could be the last time people see the likes of Darcy Ward, Greg Hancock, Hans Andersen and Maciej Janowski in British speedway for the foreseeable future." “People haven’t really thought about it. If the Sky deal, which comes to an end at the end of this season, (is not renewed) or a new deal found, then British speedway will have to make enormous changes because the revenues coming in would be substantially less."

Sadly this is getting even more souped up now and possibly dragging in the World Team Cup. A few sample snippets from Sportowefakty regarding today's news that it's likely riders will not be able to participate in both the SEC and SGP. "The information we reported a month ago , confirmed John Konikiewicz . Conflict between the SGP - SEC appeared a few months ago. As explained by a representative of One Sport, the organizer of the competition for the European Championship Individual representatives of BSI want to go one step too far. - In the beginning was the question that has to be included in the contracts of players. At the moment, there are reports that it will be in the FIM and grand principles. This would mean that none of the riders riding in the Grand Prix will not be able to compete well in the European Championships. We have received such information, but we do not know who and how it takes. Later this week we want to know about it - said John Konikiewicz . Unofficially, they also said that the ban may be extended to the players participating in the World Team Cup." "Outrage solution such we have not only the organizers, but they speedway riders wishing to compete in both the SEC and the Grand Prix. - The participants also heard about this idea and they were not happy to say the least. Surely this matter is not complete without a loud echo." "It should also be noted that Sunday's winner, Martin Vaculik, earned 10,500 euros and it is more than the money they receive for winning the Grand Prix round. We try to do their own, and if someone will try to prevent this, I assure you that we have a few tricks up our sleeve and will not hesitate to use them. " "Although the FIM shall be a non-profit organization, the most important of all the money - declared Konikiewicz"
