Rob B Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) I'm in the main grandstand on Friday. Wouldn't mind a couple of beers before the event. Is there a bar in the Grandstand area or have I got to source a local hostelry in the area The main bar in Peter Craven suite won't be accessible as being used for restaurant hospitally. The food counters in the concourse sell lager, cider and bitter I think. Before opening time there is the Longsight Social club just down from stadium other side of the school.

racers and royals Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Was hoping to see NP ride, but I can understand why he hasnt been selected. I also approve of KK stepping in for the Poles. If his head is right, he could be unbeatable!? Does anyone know if the practice is open to the public and what time etc ?

mdmc82 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Woffinden and Lambert didn't turn up to GB practise session at NSS today, disappointing. Very disappointing esp as Tai hasn't even been on the track before. Lambert booked a holiday which is no excuse as he knew when the World Cup was. Lack of commitment. Cook, King & Worrall turned up. I could never see Harris missing it if he had been selected 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Lambert booked a holiday which is no excuse as he knew when the World Cup was. Lack of commitment. He is not due to ride until the weekend , if the practice was arranged a while ago I agree but if it was arranged very recently it's more understandable.

screm Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Woffinden and Lambert didn't turn up to GB practise session at NSS today, disappointing. Very disappointing, especially Tai, as best rider, captain and team leader hasnt yet rode there and you would think wouldve done everything possible to be there, Lambert at least has ridden there before. At least we can cross the lack of track time off the excuses list, should Tai offer it of course.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I always assumed practice was essential part of being competative but apparantly not. Chris Harris must miss half of all gp pratices due to riding Friday in the UK and King said Cardiff on Saturday night was nothing like practice on the Friday, hence two rides with nil points. So whats the benefit of practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILIPRISING Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 ONLY just realised that it will be 50 years to the day that England won soccer's World Cup at Wembley on Saturday. Should have remembered the date ... was lucky enough to be there. An omen perhaps ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Lets be honest he is not exactly having a decent run against the top men in GPs. I applaud Hans Nielsen`s stance over Pedersen, it seems Nicki has more interests and distractions away from speedway these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Practice sessions are less about track time and more about team camaraderie. Just meeting up for the Race-Off isn't enough in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dornier Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Tai insisted more testing was needed for GB to be more competitive. One was arranged in Croatia he didn't attend and he didn't attend today either.Didn`t Scott Nicholls also advocate get togethers and he didn`t turn up either in Croatia. I was a bit undecided about picking Bomber but its looking more like now that he should have been in the team he certainly would have turned up for practice. I`ve no time for these prima donnas like Nicholls and Woffy who think they can turn up when THEY want and expect to be in the team . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much if you not bought parking permit from Belle Vue. Park and ride set up at Etihad stadium, electronic signs will give info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Nicholls he said before Saturdays meeting in Vojens that Rossiter had made the correct decision with the team and that he hadn't been riding well enough to deserve a pick, so I don`t see Nicholls as the prima donor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
