Nicki Or Chris?
mickthemuppet replied to June01's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
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. -
Nicki Or Chris?
mickthemuppet replied to June01's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
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. -

no it cannot because if it could Workington would have used it in the first leg -
Is Speedway Too Expensive Now ?
mickthemuppet replied to Super Blue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
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. -
Is Speedway Too Expensive Now ?
mickthemuppet replied to Super Blue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
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

It's going to be a tough choice on October 6th whether to go to see Rye House v Ipswich or stay at home and watch the final GP from Torun. How can they possibly arrange a local derby on that date
-
Will be good to see Rye house again. And I thought one of the reasons for dropping down a league was so we would not see the same teams.

There are plenty .Look on EBay or try Amazon

British Grand Prix 2012
mickthemuppet replied to willstaxi's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I said months ago that the attendance for Cardiff would be down . What do you expect . Every single GP this season has been down on the previous season. The gates at Ullevi and Italian GP's were truly terrible. People have only so much money to spend and coming after the Olympics a little less .Then there was the problem of Cardiff with the cricket in competition and the hotel prices going through the roof. -

Perhaps Old saint should not go to Wimbledon tennis then. The forces have helped with administration at this tournament ever since I have being going there -

Late Availability Cardiff Rooms

Price at the Holiday Inn Cardiff for one night 25/26 August for a double room £225 Price at the Holiday Inn Cardiff for one night 1/2 Sept (the next weekend) £88 -
Nice try but the Elite League would last about a month. Look at how many people are at Speedway meeting on a monday night when it is televised.. You would be lucky to get 700 people and you would only ever have an income every other week . Not very well thought out on the league issue with only 11 home matches in a season. The rest I quite like.

Ipswich 2012
mickthemuppet replied to cowboy cookie returns?'s topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I thought two of the main reasons for dropping down from the Elite League to the premier league was regular Thursday night racing and not keep seeing the same teams back at Foxhall. They are not doing very well are they. We are now up to meeting Rye House eight times this season . Will it eventually get into double figures. I don't think John Berry would have been very pleased to see a match like this in his memory. Surely he deserves better that this.? -
British Grand Prix 2012
mickthemuppet replied to willstaxi's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
It will be interesting to see how much the gate will be down for Cardiff this year as every GP gate has been lower than last season. Surely the gate for the Italian GP (around 2,500) must be the lowest ever for a GP.. Some of the Cardiff hotel prices are scandalous but then there are three big events over the week end and they are just cashing in. -
Ipswich 2012
mickthemuppet replied to cowboy cookie returns?'s topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Perhaps somebody could explain something to me like Dave Love who seems to know everything . Its easy to work out that more peoople come to Speedway when the weather is good. The next thing is get in as many meetings in during the summer school holidays,so why has Ipswich got four vacant Thursday during this time -

The fixture list issued at the beginning of the season showed 16th August Scunthorpe 23rd August Glasgow Why are these not now taking place? -
Of course it should have been all four back in the final. The crash was as much the fault of ES as MV. You are robbing the public of a big race final. A little bit of sense should be applied. After 22 heats who wants to see a three man race off final. If ES had gone down would he have been excluded?
