Thanks for that Mateusz, I was getting rather confused.

You forgot to say how old he is.

Millard; Greg Hancock has changed his racing colours from last year, he is now going with green and black. Jonno; I think that is to do with his sponsors an energy drinks company, it is their colours. Millard; Oh well I bought a green car last week, what does that mean.

I don't think I heard him say that tonight.

I think Tony Millard said he was 19. :wink:

To right he has, but I don't think I heard him mention that Leigh Adams was from Mildura, but he did say that Freddie Lindgren was from Wolvehampton,and when Jonno point out why Greg Hancock changed his riding colours to match his sponsors colours he went on about a green car he had bought.

After tonights performance I think it fair to say that Scott Nicholls should step aside and let someone else have a crack at the Grand Prix, he looked sluggish and very slow, and very much off the pace. On the other hand although he did not qualify Bomber Harris looked alot better, and more on the pace, whether or not he makes it into the top 8 remains to be seen, but I think that Bomber has a far better chance than Scott Nicholls. The young Russian lad is one that I saw for the first time tonight, but I had heard from friends how good was, looked really good, a bit hairy at times, but fast and very exciting to watch. It is alright to have fast bikes but you need the skill to ride them, and tonight he excellent skills in my opinion , the way he balances on the bike is briliant. One question I would like to ask is what is the correct spelling of Emil's surname, in the Speedway Star it starts Saj, yet on Sky Sports it Say.

The thing about WJM, that you all have to learn is that with certain clubs he will jump on the bandwagon when ever says anything against that club, he will go on and on, until he has the last word, challenge him and he won't answer your question generally, if you do the same he will not shut up, in fact he should try a career in politics he would go far. If you do what I do, ignore his comments most of the time then he might just go away quietly, but get into an agruement is not worth it.

Total silence, Why on earth anyone thinks that bring up last seasons incident between Ricky Ashworth and Michal Makovsky does any good on this thread I don't know, but I will say this. (1) I was not at Berwick so I can only comment on the video evidence presented, upon watching that I would say watching that it is not conclusive, which does not mean I am saying that Ricky was innocent, but also that he is not guilty as far as I am concern you cannot tell from the video evidence provided by WJM again. (2) If I was Michal Makovsky or his Promoter I would have put in a complaint against Ricky Ashworth, if I felt that I was pushed off or my rider was pushed of a bike on purpose, I would want the rider dealing with. Now as far as I am aware there was no complaint from either rider or promoter,if anyone can prove that they did then I stand corrected, if it was so blatant why was there no complaint from either.

Were you there on Sunday?

Fair enough, but that was how I read the post.

I have nothing against your comments about Ricky Ashworth I did not see what you claim too have seen, but I take exception to the comment above, so you claim that every rider that has rode in Sheffield colours ride dangerously, or dirty.

Shame Simon will not be there as he is a joy to watch around Sheffield, Davey Watt should be a worthy replacement though.

The forecast I have seen says that it will be sunny and cloudy in the afternoon, with rain in the evening, I think that we should be okay.

Chris Harris was never in the line up, I don't know about Simon not heard that one.

Not quite true that Mick has hung up his trestle tables just yet,I did notice that he was selling magazines near the entrance.

Very interesting, where did you read that, Kev would be a sensible replacement as he lives in Sheffield.

Not as yet, wonder what Nicki Pedersen is doing.

Just got back in from this meeting, and really enjoyed it, the track was rather slick, but the riders still served up some decent races. To answer Midland Red question that the meeting was over in 70 minutes, this was to give Sheffield riders valuable track time as the Press and Practice Day was cancelled, and the Sheffield stadium has a 10pm curfew. Not sure where he or she was stood, but I have never had a problem with the lighting, and yes there was an error in the programme. Here is how I saw the riders performances; Sheffield Legends (1) Steve Johnston; Did enough tonight to show that he will be a class act in the Premier League, those who think he will struggle to average around over 9 think again. (2) Ricky Ashworth; Showed signs of rustiness, and breaking the tapes and getting excluded in heat 1 did not help. (3) Carl Stonehewer; Not vintage Stoney. (4) Andre Compton; When was the last time Andre failed to score a point at Sheffield, had a puncture in his opening ride, but appeared to be going backwards all night. (5) Rory Schlein; Wow, one of the stars of the show, and if he can maintain that kind of form he could be leading the Coventry averages and challenging for a Grand Prix spot next season (6) Tai Woffenden; I keep saying this, but Team GB has a star in the making with Tai, okay he is not the finished article, but if we are to be successful as a speedway nation we have to start looking at building a team around Tai. (7) Josh Auty; Rode very well, and if he can keep this kind of form up then we could be looking at someone who can make an significant improvement on his average. World Stars (1) Greg Hancock; Showed the form of a top Grand Prix rider, and apart from Rory Schlein lowering his colours his performances was faultless. (2) Travis McGowan; Looks like he has put last seasons nightmare behind him, which can only be good news for Swindon. (3) Sebastian Ulamek; On this performance I think that some Elite clubs might be giving him a call, looked very fast. (4) Karol Zabik; I was a bit disappointed with his performance after the last time he was at Sheffield. (5) Jason Crump; Beware Nicki, Jason looks as though he is up for the challenge, unbeaten all night and looked really good. (6) William Lawson; On his past performances at Sheffield young William rode well, I really think that Berwick could have found a capable replacement for Adrian Rymel. (7) Ricky Wells; Looked a little of the pace, but to be fair the lad has been riding in the States and has probably never seen anything like Sheffield before. I do worry though that the Elite League might be a step to far for him, a season or two in the Premier would have done him better. Once again Thank you to all the riders for their efforts tonight, and roll on next Sunday when the Scunthorpe Scorpions are in town.

Like WW says the weather is glorious up here in Sheffield and should be a very good meeting looking really forward for to tonight.

Cheers Mate All the Best for the season.

Classic BFD. :lol:

Cheers DB, I am certainly looking forward to this season, last season just felt very flat right from the start, but I am really looking forward to this one, but it must have been worse for you mate closing down part way through the season, but normal service resumed with Wato the Great back where he belongs . Only downside this season is my mate Birko has failed to secure a team place. Me controversial never, only time I am is when WJM starts posting, we have one of those Love Hate relationships we both love to hate each other, and I think that I have finally found out what the W stands for but this is a family forum so I will say no more, have happy season mate and hope you are starting to feel better.

Got to agree with you, this last week has been a long one.

Nearly time, and I cannot wait, really looking forward to this one, and the season ahead.
