Speedway 2008

[arena boy]

With the new Speedway season starting in March who is going to be crowned 2008 Elite League champions?.

Lakeside Hammers

C'mon u 'ammers

[I am Spartacus]

Certainly NOT the ArenaLakeside Hammers. I think it will be the Swindon Robins or Eastbourne Eagles.

[CyberBully]

I'll go along with Swindon

 

Kings Lynn to take the Premier, and if the promotion/relegation play off ever happens they will beat Belle Vue.

 

GB probably won't win the World Cup.

 

Sky will show Chris Harris winning the British Grand Prix another 50 odd times.

 

End of predictions.

 

 

 

If you get the chance, read 'Simmo: The whole truth'. Just finished it, good book!

 

Anyone going to any meetings? I'll be at Kings Lynn on Good Friday, and Mildenhall on Easter Sunday. (Weather permiting)

[arena boy]

Good Friday will be at the Ipswich v Lakeside meeting in the afternoon and the return fixture later the same evening.

Rye House Rockets burn fuel !!!!!

I think that my predicition will be a dead cert and that is that my team, Sittingbourne Crusaders, will finish bottom of the conference again!

[CyberBully]

Only got to see 12 and a bit heats at Mildenhall yesterday, after a nasty crash on the first bend sent a couple of riders (and the medical staff) off to hospital.

 

Still at least the 'Fen Tigers' made more of a fist of it than last week.

 

Anyone else been to a meeting this season?

[MbrunoB]

Not yet but my first should hopefully be Rye House v Sittingbourne conference cup meeting may 3rd.

[ebbsfleet is for life]

[ebbsfleet is for life]

[CyberBully]

Interesting line up for the Grand Prix season.

Two in Denmark, two in Poland and the British grand prix in a country without a regular speedway track. Return to Wembley? Who knows?

 

[The Great Eckscape]

If Lakeside could have kept the team fit for longer than they did, I'm sure that the playoff final would have been a tighter affair. Losing riders like Shields and Kylmakoorpi is a massive blow for any team.

 

Question for any Arena fans out there - is that gonna be Leigh Lanham's last season? Has been a great servant, but his time is up in my opinion.

[CyberBully]

Anyone know how to get tickets for the World Cup round at Peterborough?

 

I've e-mailed them and they said look on Speedway.tv but that dosen't have anything on it for this meeting only Denmark!

[MbrunoB]

Sounds about right for the BSPA, promote other countries meetings and train their riders but ignore whats on their own door step!

[CyberBully]

They announced the tickets were on sale, on Sky Sports, Saturday night. Still can't find it on the site though!

 

Anyone got any idea whats going on?

 

[MbrunoB]

Even the Speedway GP site only has the opening round in Denmark on it.

 

Try this though SWC tickets

[CyberBully]

Got them!

 

Thanks MbrunoB!!

[Big J R]

I used to love Speedway when Wimbledon had a stadium !

[MbrunoB]

Sadly too many places now USED to have a speedway track.

[CyberBully]

It would be nice if it went back to Wembley, we would go to the Grand Prix then. The first four meetings I went to were there.

 

1973 England v Sweden/GB v Rest of World

and World Team Cup

1974 European Final

1975 World Final, That bloke Olsen won it, whatever became of him?
