Swc Event 1 - Rybnik
philfromcov replied to Mateusz's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
the joker doesnt bother me we all no the score good result nice to see the brits really mising it! old loram cleary enjoyed it all, could be a trump card! i think putting mcgowan in for schlien will be a big mistake for the aussies. i know rory didnt score that many, but in a fina i suspect travis will be way out of his depth, no ammount of home track advantage will change that! -
Lee Richardson
philfromcov replied to Vincent Vega's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
dont worry about next year... what about the world cup coming up? would struccle to beat slovenia on the present form! i think havelock is trying tio ruin scotts concentration so he can ride for redcar, what a british disgrace! and as for poor old sick note, well i wont wear down my skin on him! -
thats russel brought sky to el not bspa! that poast sounds fun, offer it too a track that cant run saturdays, oh no we will have to have it at reading afterall!

i wish people would stop slagging bsi off, at least they have transformed the GP's and the world cup into fast exciting events, left to the bspa what would have happened? no wtc, maybe a grand prix at a boring normal track. sometimes you need to sit back and see what they have done, how quickly we forget whos idea cardiff was? from a business point of view, it was probably cheaper to buy the reading outfit than rent say poole, or coventry for that matter, perhaps the bspa were trying to spong too much off without contributing too much! at the end of the day the majority of th bspa stadiums are rubbish tips run by a bunch of dodgy used car salesman. im not saying bsi are perfect, but for god sake they have brought glamour and a bit more exposure to the sport, something the bspa wouldnt have a clue how to start!

"the Truth Behind The Gosford Fiasco"
philfromcov replied to tarabanko's topic in International World of Speedway
i cant make a judgement on the track and of what happened, because clearly i wasnt there. the only thing i can say however in this being my 30 years of supporting speedway is, never never Believe a word a speedway promoter has to say, theres always an alternative spin reason for what they say. i dont think publiclly attacking riders is going to great things for the future of the sport at that venue... or was that the idea? having condemed half the aussie speedway riders, due you really think they would want to ride there again? as i said i dont know what really happened, but i always look for alterio motives where speedway promoters are concerened, they dont have a great track recored! -
obviously not! if you own an event and own a stadium, why would you rent someone elses? obvious, plus good for local coverage
-
its fairly obvious anyway bsi run the world cup bsi own reading qed

probablt BSI pumped up the price i like sullivans comments "jason who?" maybe a falling out1 mind you "flyin ryan" needs some adjustment these days too! isnt he still on thiose tractors tuned by tatum? the ones Aj threw in the bin after 6 weeks? looking at the poles and sweden, team GB will have alot of hard work, but lets hope they can do it!

philfromcov replied to Matt Davis's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
if he has a polish passport then i dont see the problem, clearly e has joint nationality, rider on a polish licence would be a farse but if his contry has given him a passport then i dont see a problem -
Trip To Prague....
philfromcov replied to Phil's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
there is another route to the stadium, it comes up on the other side, less fans much quicker, cant remember which line, but you end up by the bar next to the ticket tent! very quick back to the centre too, by 11 if i remember! -
Great Gp!
philfromcov replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
its very easy to predict this sport! a first timer to speedway kept asking me lots of questions, like why did you prdict that crash when pederson was in red i also predicted B.pederson would not get excluded because it does say rule 63.1 not poole rider can be excluded! apart from the first exclusion what can crump complain about? way too slow and desperate, the other two exclusions were fair, a good fun night, but ther appeared less than normal? or was that because where i was sitting? oh and got into bed in coventry at 12:15 sorry mr policeman! -
in taking my dad for a birthday present so i will be driving... which means the profits at sams bar may be a bit of a slump!

Actually i didnt laugh when they saked him. i thought "too bloody right" if you bite the hand that feeds you...... on a generall point, the danes are becoming unpopoular, is it just the UK?

Blimey what a fuss! The meeting was lost before the heat, never liked Anderson his action just confirms what i thought! however coming off gate 1 (the slowest of the night) Scott was never going to catch PK! he was "impeded" for half a back straight, plenty of track left. Regarding Richardson, i agree this was very odd, however, lee avoided the Pole, it would have been better i suppose for him to plough into him? the pole in this situation would have been excluded anyway, so a correct result if a tad biased! How about Lindbacks last ride? Am i the only one to notice that he had TWO wheels over the white line on the first turn? thats an exclusion to me? could have made all the difference.

GP Format next year
philfromcov replied to KrisB's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
i think it should be a combination of both. 20 permanate riders and 4 wild cards the top 8 do not compete in the first section. you are left with the bottom 12 plus the four wild cards. these are reduced to 8 by the present GP method, ie two strikes and your out. these 8 and the top 8 then ride the traditional 20 heat system, with all points counting as GP. then the top 4 race of for the final, 10 pts for a win 5 for second 3 for third 0 for last -
How was your GP day??
philfromcov replied to Vincent Vega's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
i had a fab day, stayed in the Hotel with Westlife! im sure they spent more than £60 for a 4 star room , but hey ho. lots of ale at sams bar had a chat to Les Collins who sat on our table for two hours, i requested that he becomes a grade 1 for coventry then down the back staright. i took the girlfriend, first time GP for her, i had to calm her down, got well into it, shouting and screaming and drinking my beer appologies for all around me but if you will sit like dolls then thats your problem -
