That mean zero to anyone. It's up to the rider

Agree, I can definitely see Iversen being asked to turn out for Peterborough now in 2013. Whether he wants to or not is another matter but Bjerre will require a recovery season to get over a pretty serious leg break injury.

If he had signed for us he would have said nothing at all regardless of the number of people asking. -
Tai Woffinden
Daniel Smith replied to David Haddock's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I use to back Tai on everything. Riding for GB, when he would swear on TV & his "they ride like girls" comment. He would get smashed by all and sundry but I defended him & supported him. Then he joined Twitter and OMG. Banged on about how great home was (Australia) dissed almost everything British / English, then topped that all off with he may not ride in Britain if he get a GP pick. How on earth is any passionate Brit meant to react???? I have my reasons and would happily not see him in a GB race bib again. I still believe if he makes the top 8 in the GP's he'll be riding for Australia in the 2014 World Cup Saying that, I'd still love to see him ride for my club King's Lynn week in week out. As a rider he's brilliant. I have no problem with that at all as were a rider comes from is irrelevant. Just doesn't sit right representing TeamGB for me -
I've been to a few NL fixtures this season and have to say, not been impressed. It just doesn't cut it for me. Shall not be attending next season at all. I'm just gonna stick with the first team

Confirmed 2013 Gp Riders!
Daniel Smith replied to Hunty's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Seeing Darcy blasting round the Millennium Stadium is going to be a sight to behold. Most definitely going this year. As long as the tracks don't get screwed over, 2013 should be the greatest World Championship in living memory & there's no Brits to support. Bring it on!!!!!!!! -

So, not British riders in the series for the first time. Just shows the decline of speedway in the UK. -
PEARCE'S MEN VISIT THE NORFOLK ARENA The England Under-21 football team will make a surprise visit to the Norfolk Arena this Wednesday evening as VIP guests of the King's Lynn Young Stars who will be racing against the Rye House Raiders in National League action. The young Lions are playing at Carrow Road on Friday in a European play-off against Serbia, and manager Stuart Pearce has decided to give them a break from their pre-match preparations to come and enjoy a night of Speedway action, which for many of the 26 man squad will be the first time. Fans there on the night will get a chance to meet the players, including Liverpool's in-form midfield trio Jordan Henderson, Jonjo Shelvey and Raheem Sterling as well as Manchester United's summer signing Nick Powell. With the club’s close connection to the towns own club, players from King’s Lynn Town Football Club have also been invited along to join them for the evening. Stars promoter Jonathan Chapman said " Both speedway teams feature some young and exciting riders under the age of 21 so all parties felt it would be a massive positive for both sports if the England team were to come along and watch. We will be taking the players around the pits to meet the riders, and hopefully everyone involved can take some inspiration from each other which can only help towards future success for the country both on the football pitch and the speedway track."

Referee Just Bottled Semi Decision
Daniel Smith replied to TheReturn's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I most certainly ain't in the 'We Hate Nicki' gang as I'm a Nicki Pedersen fan and have been since he rode for Kings Lynn. I'm just not blinded. How on earth you can come to the conclusion that Holder rode in to Nicki is amazing when Holder was off gate 1 and had the only option of riding the curb once Nicki came across. What exactly was Holder meant to do. Shutting off wasn't an option. -
Referee Just Bottled Semi Decision
Daniel Smith replied to TheReturn's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
After watching replay after replay after replay some nuggets are still coming to the conclusion that Holder should have been excluded. Unbelievable!!!!!!!! 1, Pedersen wasn't in front into the first turn. 2, Contact was made right on the cusp of the first turn which caused Holder to lift. Can you others not see that??????? 3, If you did see that, it's all 4 back in any meeting is it not?????? Dear o'dear Some are quite clearly just up for an argument just because they can and don't have balls big enough to admit they've called it wrong. -

Daniel Smith replied to TheReturn's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
People really need to watch the replays properly. It's as clear as day in the Semi Final Pedersen came across Holder, contact was made which caused Holder to lift. All 4 was the only option, I can't for the life of me see how any other decision could have been made. -

Harris Threatens To Quit Team Gb
Daniel Smith replied to JT's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Agreed and the rider to replace him IMO who's exciting to watch - Adam Roynon and look forward to see if Richie Worrall can recover and progress next year. He's next in line. I think we are seeing progression in British riders but they require jobs abroad and we seem unable to get that move. That's where the money is to support better sponsorship & buying top quality equipment -

Nicki Or Chris?
Daniel Smith replied to June01's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I too am hoping Holder wins it but for the first time I think Holder is physically starting to crack. This no longer about having a laugh & a good time, it's a job & it's now serious. There were signs in the NordicGP that he found it tough to deal with leading the Championship. Nicki to knick it but so hope Holder can seal up the nerves and hang in -
Sgp 2013 Riders
Daniel Smith replied to smiles's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
With Woffinden's attitude recently I believe it's a given that if he gets the pick & makes top 8 in 2013 he will revert to riding for Australia in the 2014 World Cup and beyond. Without any doubt.
