LINDGREN ANDERSON LINDBACK WOOFY Wether I agree with this lot getting a card I'm not sure but this is what I think will happen because of the commercial BSI needs.

or maybe not

Why bother posting such negative words. If your not interested fine, leave it to those who are

Which Brit Should Get A Wild Card?
Mark replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Pearson did say he hoped for 2 wild cards Woofenden said he wanted to do the GP's and was getting his bikes ready for it. So maybe he already knows he is a wild card. strange if he does but what do i know. The interview was with Chris Harris but time prevented a question about the GPs being asked. Hans Andersen must surely get a wild card as it's his first bad season after a few top 5 finishes. -
Which Brit Should Get A Wild Card?
Mark replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Nicholls is better than Harris yet neither should get a wild card. Tai too young and not yet good enough. Another year maybe Eddie K, don't make me laugh, wouldn't score a point unless each GP was run at Eastbourne or Rye House King, that has made me laugh. Big heart but one good show in the world cup doesn't make him a GP rider Bridger has loads of potential for such a young guy but not ready If we get 1 entry I would pick Rico as he did well enough in GP's and has had a good year on the continent. We should see the best 16 riders compete. -
Slovenian Gp, Krsko 12.9.
Mark replied to tomazpozrl's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
a very poor meeting and also why I'll never go to a gp other than Cardiff. Even that was slick this year so that may be dumped soon. -
agreed. hardly any passing and a bore fest

thank you

No one said it, it was written by a scribe. Therefore (look in the dictionary for a definition) it's not a QUOTE. What was Richardson's best placing in a GP series in relation to Scott's placings. What is Rico's best placing in a GB Championship. Has he won one of those yet & how many has Scott Nicholls won ? I have nothing against Rico as he is a top rider, done super for GB and all clubs.

The 2nd para isn't a quote from Nicholls - so you cant read. It was written by the journalist. As for Carl Wilkinson, that is stupid to use him as an example of lack of contact. Scott Nicholls was made captain of his country by Rob Lyon but was then dropped because of poor form. That's fine and may have been the right call but he's the best we have got (proven over the last few years) so perhaps he deserved either an invite to be in the pits (might have stopped the where is Scotty, he's letting his country down threads as now we know he wasn't asked) or an explanation why he wasn't selected. At worst a phone call to your ex captain is courteous The simple truth is that had Nicholls ridden at Leszno, probably in place of King or Bridger, we would have been in the final. Then Rob Lyon would have been a tactical genius.

I never cease to have a laugh when a nameless and faceless person is asked to stand up & be counted by the very person they criticise. Yet they hide down a mole hole. I dont know Bryn but his offer seems a friendly gesture. Have some balls and meet him. You'll probably get on well

The Joker Rule Must Go
Mark replied to father jack's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Even though that stat is correct it means nothing. it's total points scored that count and that is the only stat, in team sport, that matters -
your right the aussies haven't made a fuss as rules are rules. the point of the thread is to say the rules are plain daft
-
No I dont agree with coming 2nd, 3rd or last deliberately. it makes a farce of the sport and takes away exactly what each rider should try to do which is get ss many points as he can for his team In what other sport are you rewarded for doing badly ? Only the team doing best today, the Aussies, could not use the joker. Stupid and cost them a win. the idea of sport is to find who is the best. the best didn't get the title today as hampel took a joker and then a sub ride.
-
Crump rode to win, that is the object of the sport
-
the SWC was today won by Poland but they had use of a joker but Australia were penalised by being in front and riding to win. Crump tried to beat the Pole in heat 22 which shot themselves in the foot Australia were the better team and should have won get rid of jokers polish home track as well so its a stupid rule
-
yes I agree they have done superbly given that we haven't had any racing for a long time As for Charlie Webster bothering riders there are two points to consider. firstly she is probably being told to get interviews between races to fill in the gaps so it's her job. She made a point of not interupting a team meeting so i reckon she's getting it right. As for antonio, well he's been a pillock since he started riding, hence a two year gap to sort himself out, so grow up lad secondly sky tv goes a long way to paying riders wages plus they get there sponsors on tv when interviewed. It is the riders job to be helpful when ever possible and get sponsors on the telly

she's a good presenter and getting better

Mr Kieth Chapman
Mark replied to gatekeeper522's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
credit where it's due, a super track, but heavy rain helped as they had to put more dirt down to soak up the water. The TV lads said that last night so not rumour. More of the same please. -
Swc Event 2, Peterborough 13.7.
Mark replied to tomazpozrl's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I agree with the posters who say we'll get beaten on thursday on a track we have virtually no experience of. But we may do better than some think and, given the age of the team, it looks healthier for the future. Some good experience gained tonight. That meeting will have done King more good than any other he has raced. Rico a definate replacement for Kennett as EK is rubbish on big tracks Maybe Scott for Woofy as TW looked slow and well off the pace tonight doubt we will come last. -
Swc Event 2, Peterborough 13.7.
Mark replied to tomazpozrl's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
great meeting. I thought King was a poor choice but well done to him, a top class perfromance. Harris did well and Bridger showed real courage Woofy was very average and so was kennett who , once again, showed he does not like the track. With Rico replacing kennett and maybe Nicholls in for Woofy we might have a chjance in Poland. -
Will Hans Ride In A World Cup On Saturday?
Mark replied to krompa's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
it was stupid / over eager by the russian, and that put 3 in the fence. He needs to tone it down a bit as he is almost touches a back wheel when behind or does stupid things like this. He lent / touched on hans front wheel and caused the crash. A yound fearless man he'll only stop doing these things when he puts himself in hospital with a serious injury. Hopefully he wont put someone else in there first. hope hans is fine.
