Another awful GP. How sad that the pinnacle of our sport has come to this.

That's why I said 'given the chance'.

Yet again the joker is pivotal. Same for everyone given the chance but still seems wrong.

Adams chokes yet again when it really matters.

Yep, Chris holder is really looking world class now.

I mean no disrespect but in 30+ years of following speedway I'd never heard of him before the thread on here. To my mind, he wasn't a major figure in British speedway.

Brilliant meeting on an all-round excellent track. Lots of great moments but Ht20 was salient. More of the same on thursday will do nicely.

Thought it was the SWC

My mistake - I was unsure from that line-up. That must be the meeting that induced them to make the rule change.

I don't doubt it, but it wasn't an FIM event.

That's how I understand it too.

On that we do agree.

Not crap at all. Name me any Scot who could score points at this level?

Really? Zagar will score more on his own than a whole Scottish team.

I wonder if that is Alf Kaines who went on to ride for Southampton post-war.

In my view, on track exploits and achievements transcend any personal views however distasteful. I still play the odd Gary Glitter record too. Does that make me as bad as him?

So you think being patriotic to England is xenophobic? There's a world of difference between the two. And since when have speedway crowds been known for their skinhead/BNP following? Or did you mean BSF?

How could Scott hear him? You've already mentioned the muffling effect of the helmets. Add to that the noise of their engines and the crowd and you expect him to hear every word!

Track reserves can only be used to replace riders who commit a starting offence, i.e tape touching or 2mins exclusion. Once a race is underway they cannot replace an excluded rider.

How old IS Jason then ? BTW, I agree with speedyguy, sorry.

Agreed. You don't pay to enter a shop, which is effectively what this is!

Why was it controversial? I thought Biggs just blew it under pressure.

Malcolm Simmons did, and may have been the first to, in 1979/80.
