I agree with that for ALL riders. Scrap the nominations and make riders earn their place either by finishing in the top 8 (or 10) and then the other places go to the riders who battle through a long qualifying process Gimmee's should be eliminated immediately. There is NO reason why all the GP riders couldn't enter the qualifying process and if they fail on both counts then there should be no way back until the following year

As the championship is decided over cumulative points over the 3 rounds, I am not sure that the run off is siignificant unless I guess two riders finish level after 3 rounds

Exactly Well we all think ourselves lucky it is not on terrestrial TV because the fact it was cancelled would have meant the meeting would not have been shown the following day SKY messed up their entire Sunday schedule to show it and people complain because their SKY + didn't work as they wanted it to

I fancy the Czechs would have been a lot more competitive in this round as opposed to Denmark whereas maybe the Slovenians it would make no difference for

Thats is the beauty of the qualication system. Whoever does qualify will do so on merit and therefore good luck to them

27th June

Its a very nice city. Quite small but the town centre has plenty of architecture and decent shopping...............so I am told.

have certainly stayed there and its good I am told the Labe is a bit naff to be honest although the riders have generally stayed there

Because the main beneficiaries from British Speedway are overseas riders and any additional maney funnelled into the sport would almost certainly go the same way. UK Lottery money is not for the benefit of overseas sportsman

As well as Ales I believe

Clearly many go for the GP but if you want a trip to the Czech Republic, save your money and go over for the Golden Helmet weekend. The speedway will be infinately better and you get to see Prague and Pardubice which is also a decent city

But in the scheme of things its not a lot which is why the footy, superleague, rugby union etc get the sorts of programmes that I suspect speedway can only dream of

Bet they will be when it all goes belly up Geepers, those costs are simply not sustainable

Lots of cost and very few viewers and therefore little advertising revenue Its costs a fortune to broadcast live and if there is no return then it will not happen Whatever you may think of cricket it pulls in the viewers and therefore the advertising revenue

Tony certainly rode for Oxford from the start of the 1991 season in the British League but was released mid season after finding it pretty tough

Best suggestion I have seen for ages. Sadly thoough there are sound sponsirship and financial reason s why this would never happen. And there was us dreaming of a world championship that ANY rider had a chance of winning

Agree 100% about the prize money and it was the lure of that and that alone which tempted Andreas Jonsson to attempt an outrageous and frankly dangerous pass on Freddie Lindgren. At the end of the day AJ had the chance of £70k all resting on a sh*t or bust dnagerous move For goodness sake take away these obscene amounts of money, this sport is dangerous and the lure of £70k makes riders do stupid things

Sadly it has been proved correct that BSI/IMG or whatever they are calling themselves today are a disaster for our sport and the sooner this circus is stopped the better They couldn't give a damn about speedway supporters and the limp press release and pitiful offer of a ticket for a GP next year is a joke. The great news is that there are already sat on loads of your money for next years Cardiff GP and taking a small fortune out of our sport which is on its knees Get rid of the GP circus once and for all

To be fair SCB he was mighty impressive in winning the Golden Sash last season at Pardubice. Without doubt the best rider on the day. Having said that he was a very rich vein of form this time last year He will be a different kettle of fish there and I suspect not too many of the others in the field will have done too many laps at Pardubice which is just a bit different to what many of them would ride week in week out

Yes its been done to death but it does hold true. IMO no rider that did not enter the qualification process should be given a wild card, end of story. Nicholls would carry a lot more credibility as a nomination if he entered the qualification process rather than rely on the 'got to have 2 Brits in it' assumption.

I also remember Martin landing on e of Brian Karger as Karger was on his slow down lap at Oxford on the 2nd bend. That battle was an ongoing one as for some reason there seemed to a number of incidents between them Also memories of Eric Monoghan flying at Jens 'Rambo' Rasmussen with some implement from his tool kit in the pits at Oxford in the 80's Shouldn't also forget Jason Crump clipping his then team mate Todd Wiltshire round the ear at Oxford for daring to get anywhere near him There has certainly been a few over the years

Many would agree but if he gets in by qualification then he will have an absoluite right to be there. The qualifiers are there to help people who want to try to get in to the GP series the correct way get in. Those who don't bother banking on the Britishness getting them in should not be in with a shout.
