Yet Premier League teams Ipswich met Rye House 8 times during the season Surely a record for any league.

Keep all of this years team and move up to the Premier League

It was going to be at the old Gloucester City football ground in Horton Road but to my knowledge no Speedway track was ever built there or and meetings held. It was something to do with the multi track owner Mike Parker

A very good line up but you will not be able to see it unless you go to the stadiums.

The best bets ever were the first four races at the GP in Gelschenkirken which were are recordings when shown. Except the bookmakers never knew.. The first heat winner was returned at 16/1. Now they were certainly worth a bet.

Philip The Wrestling was always a recording. It is still shown on weekdays on Men and Movies channel on Sky. The Horse Racing was always live.I don't think it would be very interesting if it was recorded. Speedway was always recorded

There would be no way that parts of the programme would be kept after they have been edited as they would never have room to store it all. As most WoS programmes for speedway were on from 15.05 until 15.50 . That is about 35 to 40 mins taking out the adverts which is roughly one third of the actual meeting. I seem to read somewhere that a lot of the WoS programmes they no longer have.

Perhaps as most of the Northern teams have fixture problems they will all withdraw from the PCT. This would leave the two legged final against Rye House. as they are the only two teams left in the competition.

Suggest you look at the history of Speedway- Mike Parker promoted at around 12 Speedway tracks and if it had not been for him Speedway as we know it would have died out. John Berry promoted at Ipswich and Birmingham in the same league. There have numerous promoters who have promoted at more than one track in the same league.

Not quite sure what you mean when you say the Gelsenkirchen GP did not work. I went to that GP (the one that took place) and it was a great weekend ,a terrific stadium with a great atmosphere and a good crowd. The only thing wrong was the racing, which to put it nicely was not very good . But since then the man made tracks have improved greatly. I dont think that Ullevi has ever recovered from the meeting that had to be aborted becauce the track resembled a ploughed field and was impossible to race on.

Ipswich go through as they won the first leg as per Birmingham v Belle Vue tie. All two leg matches will now be decided on the first leg only otherwise all the matches will not get raced

Rubbish , nobody complains when David Blunkett has his dog with him when he is working

I always thought is a race was stopped in a Grand Prix, somebody must be excluded . .You cannot call it unsatifactory start as the crash occured coming out of the second bend which is probably 60 metres from the start line.

I want Chris Holder to be World champion but he should have been excluded

you are very right

It will be quite a job for him as he is guesting for Glasgow tonight as is Sam Masters. Do all teams in the Premier League use guests?

The rules clearly state all races will be 4 laps and they always have done.

Must be void and re run

Parsloes, would it not be great if we could have a world championship like we used to have. Surely thay could still have the GP's as well . This should be run completely by Speedway people and non IMG creaming off all the profits. It's nor really worth having a bet on who win this years championship until the draw is made of friday.

So you must have hated Ivan Mauger and Tony Richardsson winning so many world titles? To win world title it has to be Chris Holder . Surely there is going to be one race where Nicki is going to clatter into someone and get excluded. Chris also has a two point start. It would be great if they tie and there is a race of. It would be excellent if it was the best of three so gate position would not be such an advantage.

Got it on chrome but too many adverts. Dawid Stachyra for Ipswich Number One Shirt next season?

no it cannot because if it could Workington would have used it in the first leg

I did not call you stupid I called your analogy of Speedway stupid. They must be going pretty fast in GP's if they can do all that in 15 minutes.

Saying Speedway is just 15 minutes of action is stupid. Would you classify going horse racing as 10 minutes of action or Greyhound meetings as 7 minutes of action. Of course you would not. How about tennis which is roughly 12 0f minutes of play per hour. Then is you went to the British Golf Open , how much actual play would you see in 12 hours Perhaps 30 minutes. You have to take the whole package at Speedway with Falls exclusions, Crashes, tape exclusions , riders lap of honour. That's all part of the evening entertainment

I think he prefers to be called by the single letter R" rather than Ray
