We'd off loved him to add another one following Cardiff, we'd also have loved him, Scotty, Richardson, Allen, Stead to have done well @ Coventry in the WTC then backed up Tai in Denmark, but hey i expect we expect too much of the ones that always seem to be picked.

Maybe maybe not, there's been plenty over the years who've been in that have done squat diddly, about time some took some risks. Some said Casey Stoner was too young for Moto GP, second year in he was World Champ, some also said the same about Lewis Hamilton, i know they're in a different kind of motor sport, but hey give the youngster/youngsters ago.

Harris, Nicholls and some of the foreigners have failed to light any fires, new blood is needed, some said Tai was too young for the WTC, well he showed what some of us knew about him and how lack luster the others were, too young, not enough experience well only time will tell, those that have the experience and have been allowed in have seriously under achieved imo

Can't see what all the fuss is about regarding slick tracks, surely if all the GP tracks are slick then it will suit all the riders, yes i would prefer dirt on them but most EL tracks are slick unless it seems only those that are shown on Sky. As with every meeting Tatum, Pearson, Louis go on about how slick the track is tonight and in between races when the riders are interviewed they say tracks slick and/or slicker than normal. With regards exciting new riders that the SGP promotion team are going on about ONLY Emil is the shining STAR, why oh why have they gone with the other 3, what was wrong with Holder, Woffinden, Pavlic IMO

I loved the Groveway and Elfield Park living in Hatfield was only a stones throw away and used to go every Tuesday night to the later and remember a very good meeting against a Russian select

Come and ride @ Rye - Alot closer than Redcar

What's wrong with moving a club, Terry Russel did it with Crayford when they decided to Turn another stadium into a supermarket, Crayford Kestrels became Hackney Kestrels and what a fantastic few seasons followed with the emergence of Galvin, Louis and Loram to name a few. Hackney Stadium that then became the London Stadium to be finally bulldozed and soon to become the Olympic Stadium which will after the Olympics be bulldozed again and turned into whatever - God we waste money.

99% it seems, get a good rider and KNOCK HIM

My mistake sorry

If you were asking what Martin Hagon, Sean Willmott, Olly Allen, Simon Stead, or even Andre Compton had achieved in their 1st 2 seasons then squat diddly, but looking at this and last season, try telling even the dumbest EL Speedway fan that Tais' achievements are nothing special.

Did it with Carter and Wigg. Carter couldn't win with the British public or his so called British team mates, if he rode well noone noticed, if he came last he got loads of abuse. Wigg won the WLT twice but that didn't seem to matter everyone was on his case as he couldn't get it together in the Individual Championship, but he was a good rider. Joe Screen was another that had the World on his shoulders but never seemed to get beyond the British League. Loram could have been better but for serious injuries that curtailed him chasing another world title.

Yes and there's plenty of hype coming from Denmark, Sweden and Poland and when some of them come over here you just wonder what they hell have they achieved - Emil is a Great Rider as we've witnessed on the Polish TV Speedway Channel, he had a good meeting last year @ Rye but that was the only time we've seen him here, would he be able to do it on a regular basis, WHO KNOWS. Plenty of hype about Nicholls and Harris but what have they achieved NOTHING (Cardiff 2007 HARRIS exception). Both should now be out of the GP's along with a few others.

How many more clubs have to close for financial reasons before they realise that if the prices were dropped and families etc were encourage to go along they might survive - @ Rye it costs me £13 for me and £3 each for my 2 daughters and nephew, £2 per programe that isnt even worth 50p, fish chips from the local chippy as its cheaper and 100% better than they serve up @ Rye plus diesel to get to and from the track. Some away tracks are even more of a rip off Reading and Birmingham £5 per child. I'd like to see a promoter with balls and go £5 a head for everyone including a race card. I live in Hatfield about 12 miles from Rye House, there has never been any advertising in our local papers, posters in or around Hatfield, WGC, Potters Bar, St. Albans, Watford, Hemel, Harpenden, Luton, most have large shopping malls where a stand could be put up with riders taking it in turns to show of their gear. Why do promoters constantly advertise in Speedway star etc, speedway supporters already know what's on. We are now a multi cultural society yet our tracks see very little of the Polish fraternity, and we all know how big it is in Poland. The sport also needs a big revamp and the removal of the points limit.

We qualified then did we - Apart from Tai it was bad - Maybe he should have taken all of Richardsons rides as he certainly didn't warrant being there.

Give it 3 or 4 Years no - next year we've waited far too long, young Tai looks certain to fill the shoes vacated by the late Great Kenny Carter - Richardson is pants and the way things are going so are our 2 GP contenders - The only good thing about tonight was young Tai, who needs the EL.
