Mk bees Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Forecast is very good. Sunny and warm with lighter winds. Should be a cracker of a meeting tonight. Lets hope for plenty of controvesy, great racing, and let the best man win. It would like to see a young gun make Cardiff. Good luck to Eddie Kennett. I think he stands an excellent chance. Agree this has the makings of a great meeting, the best for years IMO, with the young riders in much better form that the old guard but the old boys will want to make a point. Can't see Bomber being a factor, he has been poor all season and just looks slow but i am sure Scott will not go down without a fight, i agree re Kennett, must have a great chance as he is riding well and knows the track well. Hope Tai doesnt win as the luv in on Sky would be unbearable!! One thng that is puzzling me though is why this meet is not next Wed during school hols, surely the gate would have been bigger,i would have gone wth my two lads for sure but wont get back to MK until well past midnight so out of the question on a school night? Any thoughts or even reasons for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd v Barcelona - Champions League Final Yeah fair point having little interest in the overpaid prima donnas these days i had forgot but i think my point was surely half term week would have been better, plus i doubt they knew who the final was between in January when the dates were agreed.

That I agree, and I am not a football person either (thankfully neither is my husband) I actually only know this as we don't have speedway at Poole next week due to this Football match!

LisaColette Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I wouldn't rule bomber out, he may not be on the best form atm but he is really good around poole. Could be the meeting he needs to kickstart his season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be a football fan but became seriously disallusioned with it about 10 years ago, thankfully thanks to Sky one Evening in 1999 i rediscovered Speedway after about 10 years away!!

Take your point but i just think the guy has lost it, not just speed but his interest, his body language looks awful and the couple of times i have been in the pits b4 meetings with the kids this season getting autographs of riders they haven't already got he just looks fed up. Hope he comes back, as at his best he is great to watch but i fear we have seen the best of him, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Man Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hi Tomcat The track you remember at MK, when you said the word "bowl" I knew it to be Elfield Park, that was the second track at MK, the first being Groveway Stadium, an old Dog Track. Elfield Park was indeed like a Bowl, the viewing for the customers was terrific, everyone looking down at the track, nobody's feet were below the top of the safety fence You would have seen me when you came to the tapes as I was the Start Marshal They were really happy days, Speedway was fun, I've made some good mates over the years, Riders, Promoters, Mechanics, Refs, the list goes on Sorry everyone didn't mean to hijack the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk bees Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 thats what i was wondering Bet 365 have just opened up a book, first seven in list as below, i imagine others will be pricing up by lunchtime as its live on Sky. go to www.oddschecker.com and click on motor sport then British Speedway to find out the best odds on your fancy. Nicholls 2/1 Richardson/Harris 4/1 Kennet 7/1 Bridger 9/1 Tai 12/1 King 16/1 20/1 or more others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 For anyone undecided on whether to travel or to sully themselves by crossing the threshold of the den of iniquity that is Wimborne Road for this one, it's a lovely sunny day down here with decent weather forecast for the rest of it. Could think of worse ways to spend a later afternoon and evening. Jay has actually managed to leave behind the rain in the Midlands this time.

Sir Jasper Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Eddie at 7's hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk bees Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Eddie at 7's hmmmm Exactly my thoughts 1/4 odds the first 3 as well, so if he makes the final you have a small profit as long as he doesnt come last and a much larger one if he wins it, which sounds very good as in any one off race he can get beat but i would be pretty suprised if he didn't at least make the 'gig'. last 4 will be Eddie, Scott, Tai and Harris or bridger i reckon.

21st century heathen Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Slightly odd to see Scott as fave for this but a massive outsider for the GP, well below Bomber. Seems a little contradictory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are 250/1 to win the GP, in any individual GP Scott is always a shorter price than Harris, something like 20/1 and 33/1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
