No really, Scotland is the plaice to be.

It's not so bad, we're having a whale of a time really.

Wouldn't surprise me. Feels like it. Salmon in the streets.

And if all this is so, what has JDC as promoter done to push / resolve the issue? Or is he exempt?

Agree with your sentiments about the sport. Speedway is in the same boat as everyone else, especially in a recession. When I hear about some of the money spent on engine tuning alone, I can't help but think someone somewhere needs to a have a reality check. And if lower crowds forces the issue then all well and good. Speedway can't keep playing on the heart strings of supporters and producing the begging bowl continually. Sponsors too deserve a fairer crack of the whip, as the majority in my opinion get a poor return on their investment and could easily get more elsewhere. It's not for the supporters to bail speedway out, it's for the promoters and riders to put on a show that's value for money.

More to the point, where has Kris Ad gone?

Bad news indeed, but who can blame him after 29 years? Embra promotion have to be commended for the 'show' they put on week in week out, but if the numbers don't come through the gate, then what else can they do? I'm sure it won't see the end of the Monarchs.

What? Another one!

Well done Craig Cook. A good way to finish a season where he's come to the fore as a top PL rider and justified his move to the Monarchs. Quite true. He had the ability to stay on the bike when others didn't.

Que? i was looking for clarity.

Did Chris say he was lucky it was all four back because he deserved to go? Or could he have meant that referees often exclude a rider in that type of incident?

I wanted Chris to win the championship. When the incident happened my immediate reaction was that Chris had to be excluded. I don't know all the rules and don't profess to. Having just watched it again now on Sky, Nicki definitely cut across Chris and leaves him no room. Am I right in thinking the rider in front is allowed to choose his race line, provided he's not turning left on an opponent? Chris, I assume, has to keep the throttle on to control the bike. He could of course have come off in the hope he gets NP excluded, but doesn't. Chris then hits Nicki. If NP did cut across CH 'illegally', then that's the first incident and the one that should be judged. If illegal NP should have been excluded. If not, then CH should have been excluded for bringing NP down.

Pretty damn good!

Well done Chris. Deserved champion.

Sky should get a camera in there. That would liven up the programme!

Find it funny that people think Holder plays to cameras (which he does), but equally so does Nikki when a refereeing decision goes against him.

Holder. Though the heats the two share, if more than one, could be interesting.

Wouldn't want to be Nicki Pedersen's cat when he gets home tonight.

Beat me to it

Box of Kleenex at his (her?) side!

Delighted it wasn't.

Might be repeated in the final.

Vojens yet again produces dull racing!

You feeling OK Dekker?
