nw42 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 HE'S fine ... and a good bet for this evening   Great shout Philip, hope you backed your instinct, well done. Todays Adrenalina's (Has A.J been given any nickname in Your country?) performance lets me have quite high hopes for a win of my Falubaz wth Wroclaw tomorrow. Love this guy! He considers himself a "Falubaz". In 2013 he wanted to sign 10 years long contract and therefore end his carreerin my town. Shamefully, my team's managers didn't agree.  Yes, we call him AJ.

OveFundinFan Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 That was 100% an awful meeting. Where was the crowd, must have been just a few thousand there, and the track was simply bad, not a race track at all, not a lot of passing, most races won from the gate. Â Why persist going to these pretty places with tracks which rate rock bottom as far as racing goes. Â And as said, where is the show next week.... Prague. Yes a beautiful city but not a racing track. Â I'm beginning to despair and say the same as some others have indicated.... the sport is dying if this is the best it can dish up. Â Big shake up needed from the top down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 What a bugger that the Gp in Tampere was on the same day as the womens institute was holding their annual knitting event.Must have knocked thousands off the gate 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YerRopes Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Didn't see all of tonight's meeting and for that I am very grateful... Â Forget individual countries and just race on the best tracks - ie Bydgoszcz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oleoleole Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Regarding the empty stadium, what did BSI expect. The racing last year was awful, I doubt many who were there would have bothered again. We sat there last year as the stadium emptied as the meeting went on. By the last few races two thirds of the crowd had left. Surely alarm bells must have been ringing somewhere?  There needed to be drastic and well documented track improvements and perhaps a reduction in prices to tempt people back.  However, a year on, the track was even worse and ticket prices started at €55.  Anybody up for another Tampere SGP next year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Leslie Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 The biggest talking point has to be the brilliant trophies. Â They should be able to get rid of them on ebay if ITV bring back Heartbeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
