How many times has Millard seen Hancock this year and yet he still mistook him for Jagus .

Any chance of getting the trackman for tonight to do Cardiff ?

May i be the first to wish you all the best in your chosen career .

It's probably a bit overworked at the moment

I don't get paid to be a professional e-mailer though do i smartarse

Just sent this to the sky sports editor, i wonder if it will even get read ?. I have often felt like e-mailing on this subject but i now have no choice. Tony Millard's commentary on the Czech Speedway G.P. was the worst i have ever heard. The guy is usually terrible but this was awful. Constant repetition, wrong riders, he was even told by his co-commentator that it was not a wrong decision by the ref, but it was in-fact the rules. Please do something with him. I subscribe to sky sports purely for speedway but i will re-consider next season if this incompitent is still ruining your otherwise excellent coverage. Come on folks - let's get him out for next year.

At least i've put a smile on someone's face today

Before i go any further with this, i'm not goingto argue with anyone about this. I beleive a forum is created to discuss opinions and that is all i am giving - my opinion. According to the info i have just looked up, Mark's average in 2000 for Poole was 10.10. According to Steve Turners stats on this site, his average for all matches so far this year is 8.96. Mark also hold's the distinction of becoming world champion without actually winning a g.p. - not his fault i know, but if that was the case in 2000, he's hardly likely to better it next year is he ?. Mark seems a nice guy and has reached the top but at 36 next year, my opinion is that someone younger should be given a chance.

Sure, let's get Loram in the G.P.'s. And while we're at it let's name next year's world cup team : 1. Dave Jessup 2. Peter Collins 3. Gordon Kennett 4. Chris Morton 5. Ted Hubbard (just to please Shazzy). Come on Guys, with due respect to Marky boy, he's had his moment in the spotlight and whilst i agree that world class british riders are thin on the ground, we need riders who are on the way up - not down. Bomber may be a bit rough around the edges but with a bit of decent sponsorship and guidance ( a la Havvy with Nicholls ), he can do the businass.

Two of the most relevant comments made on this forum in months.

This article from the excellent SPEEDWAYPLUS website should answer most of your questions. http://www.speedwayplus.com/elfield_park.shtml

Do you mean the end of speedway at Groveway stadium (greyhound track), or the end of Elfield park (standalone speedway) ?.

I wonder if this performance will get Harris a wildcard place ?

Well done A.J., a thoroughly deserved win .

I wonder why ?

Anderson shows Harris how it's done. As Scotty just said " you're having a ******* laugh".

The more i see the replays, the more i think Jason was lucky to get the decision.

Well done Crumpy, the best man won

Simple answer is ban alcohol from the stadium. But then judging by the threads that build up prior to Cardiff, it seems that that is the main reason for people to go to the g.p. there. At least, it seemed that the main argument pro Cardiff / against Wembly earlier this year was the lack of pubs/bars. Whatever happened to going to speedway to watch speedway. I wasn't at Reading last night but i heard the booing of the Danish anthem on Sky and i too felt ashamed that it came to that.

What is it with you Danes and the F-word ???

Words fail me. Edit : No they don't............. Idiot.

And this from the bloke who told Middlo to pick Chris Louis !!!

Oh how true

No, please don't get me wrong, our boys on the whole have been awful so far. I was referring to the track preparation favouring the Danes and their preference for slickness.

Is it me, or does Ole Olsen seem to be spending a lot of time with the Danish team in the pits ?
