Jan,
Sorry but they HAVE LIED TO YOU.
The date of July 24th at 11:30 pm was ALREADY SCHEDULED. The other date is
July 28th at 8:30pm. Thus Saturday Nights telecast was CANCELLED.
This is not the first time Fox have messed up. They showed the same match
Eastbourne V Poole three times on successive Fridays earlier this year.
They obviously have no idea or just don't care.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Folks,
Have just spoken to Steven at Fox Sports regarding Saturday Night's stuffup.
He passed the buck onto someone called Greg who is not there and it
diverted to his voice mail.
Hopefully he will call me back.

First of all, Jablonski did not qualify for the GP challenge.
Only 4 qualifiers (not German) + 1 german will go into that meeting.
Robert Barth is given as the certain Wild Card at Abensberg.
Apparently there will not be any reserve at the GP Challenge.
The next in line (now Jablonski will be called as qualified rider if there
will be any other missing riders (among thise finished in front of him)
already a few days before the meeting.

Subject: The way forward ???
Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 17:04:58 +0100
I have been reading the various contributions on these lists, about
the way forward with some interest. Basically I can see one vital
flaw with these ideas ( I am not saying that they are wrong), and
that is that they tend to be relatively short term ideas, and do very
little for the long term future of our sport. We need to be giving
consideration to where the sport will be in 10 years ( or more) time.
As Terry Cheney has pointed out already, Speedway has a habit of
going round in circles, what we need to do is to break those
circles, and start heading forwards. As far as the UK is concerned I
think we need to get our heads out of the sands, and realise that
the UK is no longer the centre of the speedway universe, and to
understand the reasons that we are no longer in that position.
There is no doubt that over the next few years, Polish speedway
will continue to dominate world speedway, Both Swedish and
Australian speedway is on the way up, before long we will be
languishing in 4th place in the big picture, unless we make
changes.
I have just been on holiday in Sweden, and took the time to visit
the Baltic Island of Gotland, home of Bysarna. On Thursday
evening they had a come and try speedway evening, for children of
between 5 & 16 years old. This evening was completely free, and
no charge was made for any part of this evening. There were 4
bikes available of differing sizes (physical & power), and these
bikes were allocated to the individual children by the coaches, all
recently retired Swedish League riders. Every rider had full
protective clothing, and was given a chance to have several laps to
see what they thought. The club had expected around 15-20 kids
to turn up, in actual fact there were more than 40, and the amount
of time that each child could have on the bike had to be reduced so
that everybody could have a go. They rode on the 80cc track that
adorns the centre green ( Do you remember them, and the national
speedway academy that was to happen in the UK?- Jan O
Pedersen). The excitement and pleasure on the kids faces was a
sight to behold, and I have no doubts that many of them will take
the chance to ride again given the opportunity.
There was however, one aspect of this that brought home to me
one of the major differences between Swedish speedway, and
British speedway - In Sweden speedway is still a sport, and not a
business. All of the protective clothing at this try speedway evening
had been provided by the local council, and they were more than
happy to help out the club (NOT a business). The club is run by a
committee, and a team of enthusiastic volunteers - I believe that
this set up is common to most of the clubs in Sweden, if not them
all.
So my final comment is that we should all get our heads from out
of the sands, and look to the successful speedway nations to see
how they are doing things, and maybe borrow their ideas.
Anybody else have any thoughts?

All,
It has come to my attention that there is a slight problem with the recent
release of my Speedway Meeting game. The original distribution file that
contains the default settings, only appears to work on Windows 2000. The
symptoms are that after installation, no competitions appear on the
Competitions Menu.
I think I've now fixed the problem, and have included a fixed settings file
within the distribution package. You can download this from:
http://www.meynell.com/speedway-meeting/SpwyMtg49.zip
Alternatively, you can just download the settings file from:
http://www.meynell.com/speedway-meeting/Speedway.reg
You can update the settings by double-clicking on the new file. A dialog
box should then appear asking you to confirm the update.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Subject: Continental Final - report
Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 20:05:58 +0200
Slovenian champion Matej Ferjan is the first rider to have qualified for the
2001 GP series after being crowned continental champion at Lonigo on Sunday.
The meeting scheduled for Saturday evening had to be postponed to Sunday
afternoon after an heavy thunderstorm had flooded the track during the
afternoon with the rain continuing throughout the whole evening.
It was literally a Polish invasion with 6 riders filling the top seven
places but with Slovenian Matej Ferjan taking the only place that really
counted in this particular meeting.
The young Slovenian, World Junior runner-up in 1998 and currently one of the
most committed rider in Europe, had already won his two previous world
championship rounds this year, finishing on top of the rostrum both on home
soil at Krsko in the qualifier and then again in the Olching semi-final two
weeks ago.
He was certainly a deserved winner of the continental crown as he twice
defeated second placed Piotr Protasiewicz during the proper meeting, in heat
12 when both were still unbeaten after two outings, and then again in the
decisive run-off after they had tied on 14 when the 20 conventional heats
were completed.
But things could have gone the other way round had heat 19, Ferjan’s last
outing, not been stopped during the first lap when Piotr Swist and Robert
Nagy collided, with the former crashing heavily and receiving medical
attention for several minutes on the track and the latter being excluded by
English GP referee Tony Steele.
Ferjan was in fourth place at the time of the stoppage, and this could have
meant only a qualification spot for the GP Challenge at Abensberg later in
October.
Instead he managed to score 2 vital points in the re-run, helped again by
some good luck when, trailing behind a resurrected Swist and Armando
Castagna, saw the Italian rider slip in front of him during lap three.
The large contingent of his fans, who had remained at Lonigo after the
previous night postponement finding some eleventh hour accommodation, were
particularly noisy and finally invaded the track after the decisive run-off
to give him the traditional bumps.
Piotr Protasiewicz looked very disappointed on the rostrum afterwards,
especially as during the run-off he completely missed the start but showed
the capability to pass Ferjan only to be kept behind by the wise lines the
Slovenian was able to dictate from the front. In a last effort to pass
Ferjan at the beginning of lap four he slipped and crashed on the pits bend
seeing his chances of catching the through train to the GP series disappear
in the dust of the Lonigo track.
With the poor performance from the two Germans, Barth and Kugelman both
finishing on three points, only four places became available for
qualification to the GP Challenge.
And the Polish contingent filled all the remaining valuable places with
Swist 3rd , Ulamek 4th and Walasek 5th obtaining their passport to Abensberg
and the pair of Jablonski and Skornicki finishing next in line in 6th and
7th place respectively.
Grzegor Walasek had to defeat fellow compatriot Krzystof Jablonski in the
run-off that took place as heat 21 for the last qualifying spot available
after both had finished on 10.
Czech international Bohumil Brehl, even scoring 7 points in his last three
outings had seen his chances of qualifying shattered when he was excluded in
heat 3 failing to score again next time out in heat 5.
Armando Castagna, who had been seeded into the meeting as Wild Card, wasted
his second chances of a qualification to the 2001 GPs after having being
already eliminated from the semi-final at Olching. His hopes were still
alive until heat 13 when he was on six point having scored 3 second places
in his first three outings. But even without any possibility to repeat his
1997 triumph, when he clinched his one and only continental title on the
same track, he was still in the hunt for a qualifying spot to Abensberg. Not
convinced about the bike he had used before, he jumped on his second machine
only to finish last in that heat and say good bye to his world championship
hopes.
Disappointment came also for the seventh Polish in the meeting Tomasz
Bajerski ,who had begun with a win and a second but failed to score in his
remaining 3 outing and finished 10th on 5 points.
The two Germans, Kugelman and Barth, never entered in the hunt, the latter
probably relying on the fact that with Kugelman not going well either, he
will have a guaranteed place at Abensberg as Wild Card as previously
announced by the German federation.
The afternoon was not a shining one for the two Hungarians either. Robert
Nagy finishing 11th on 5 and Zoltan Adorjan solitary last on 2 points.
Czech Toni Svab and Slovenian Izak Santej were never in contention too,
scoring 4 point each and finishing 12th and 13th respectively after being
split by a ballot.

qualified from the Continental Final at Lonigo to the GP Challenge at
Abensberg!
Sending to you the CF results I took in the account stipulations of the
Appendix 077 of FIM Sporting Code:
"[...] 5 riders from the Continental Final (places 2 tro 50 [...] will all
directly be qualified for the Individual Speedway World Championship Grand
Prix Challenge."
Unfortunaterly I forget to read once again the very short (two pages only)
Appendix 071, containing another important statement, that the FMNR of the
GP Challenge (in Abensberg the German DMSB) is guaranted at least one rider
from its nation.
So only four riders from the CF 2000 are qualified to the GP Challenge at
Abensberg, the fit\fth place is given to Germany.
