What a shame I will really miss JACK"he's turning left sorry there all turning left "Burnicle ,ok he made mistakes but he made up for that with enthusiasm & a fair bit of humour. As for ermolenko well he was a great rider but as a pundit he is on a par with havelock both bloody hopeless , my teenage stepson makes more sense than those two & he only says dunno ,whatever or can't be bothered

Just glad it was on we are for now a minority sport ,le mans is massive & equetrian so I am told does big business in europe. Before we all jump on eurosport remember when sky put the gp on the red button!!!?? I was bloody annoyed that night as none of the kids were around & I had no idea what the red button channel was ,as my teenage daughter pointed out the next day "duh dad like look at the remote & see the red button like & press it like & there it is like " pretty obvious really like

Hope the gps stay on eurosport/quest & scott nicholls is a revelation. Really hope tai wins he is a marvellous ambassador for our sport.

Just read that heaven forbid sky will oudbid eurosport for the SGP rights when there up for grabs. What a shame that would be a eurosport do a first class professional job & the thought of keith bloody heuwen & gary mumbling havelock in the drab studio fills me with dred. As my wife says & i always agree " scott suave nicholls or keith wig heuwen " sums it up really.

FABULOUS GP lovely stadium ,bumper crowd ,superb close racing ,excellent track & a punch up. I really have to commend the commentary team who were yes ok IMO very good (iversen in the vip tent was very funny) but most of all scott nicholls & his buddie (sorry don't know his name ) are a revelation ,they have real chemistry & really add to the whole GP. Well done to all involved especially tai & pedersen (boo) but boy is he great entertainment.

In my quest to find the live gp on sat I have had no luck ,on the 2 tvs we have the quest channels have no sgp listed ,the quest website has nothing & suggests trying another channel. Please reassure me someone that although I am old & not technically minded it is definitely on. Thankyou off for a lie down.

Imo thought the gp was ok brilliant coverage from eurosport ,lovely stadium & setting (having been its a great city) & a bumper crowd. Ok it wasn't the best gp but every sport you care to mention can't always be thrilling every match or meeting. Personally I am just glad its on the tv & produced by a company that whisper it quietly seems to care about our marvellous sport. One other thing that froch right hand was one in a million.

I remember 100 s of years ago olsen walking out on a meeting at eastville bristol v coventry ironically complaining about the track conditions which were pretty bad. Thought last nights meet was standard fair for a big flat track ,yes it was a bit rough but blimey we have seen an awful lot worse. Shame they can't get it right maybe they need stephen hawking to supervise with a more scientific approach he could even do a few laps to pack the surface down. Was it andy pipkin with lou from little britain who went to helsinki ?

So its really only an australian moron who rides for poole & his last name sounds like ford !!! A post like this deserves only one answer. Chris harris

I am happy to stand on a muddy bank ,stand in a field or use s*** toilets if I am paying less than £10. .upwards of £15 for that privilege is unacceptable IMO

Of course the quality of the racing is important but especially for familys most track facilities are rubbish & haven't been improved for donkeys years. When you consider how much we pay to get in at least a toilet facility which dosent resemble the somme isn't a lot to ask. Just as a matter of interest has health & safety ever inspected the toilets at swindon ?

Kelvin & nigel are most definitely to blame for the elite league shambles ,the toilets at swindon ,the track at poole ,promoters ,the cost of going ,meetings taking a lifetime. Its all there fault & i am not joking its obvious.

Yep the reason why british speedway is in such a state is because of nigel & kelvin. Bizarre Yep the reason why british speedway is in such a state is because of nigel & kelvin. Bizarre Yep the reason why british speedway is in such a state is because of nigel & kelvin. Bizarre

Yeh let's hope sky go & then we can go back to how it was ? So that's like it is now but not on tv. My god no other sport would think losing live tv coverage was a good thing apart from it seems ours. Yeh let's hope sky go & then we can go back to how it was ?

My god no other sport would think losing live tv coverage was a good thing apart from it seems ours. Yeh let's get rid of sky & get to how we were before they destroyed everything !! So that's the same as it is now but not on live tv. Can't think of any other sport that thinks being on the box is a bad thing.

Mr russell pocketed 20 % ??? Is that true ? That is one hell of an accusation to make but if it is true what a scandal. I am shocked by this but no doubt you will all tell me it was common knowledge ,sums up speedway etc etc.

I read on this forum that the sky contract was £900.000 per year between all the EL clubs. Crikey sky must be skint but I guess when you blow all your cash on footie & F *effing 1 cut backs must be made. Or is it just that they think the EL looks rubbish on tv ?

Brilliant post by Crazy sue. Spot on.

Mr the know could of sworn this was a forum for opinions & my opinion is poole is not a great race track.

So let me get this straight birmingham play "money money money " This is terrible what a crime the FBI ,mi5 ,mi6 ,bond ,jason bourne & the sweeney should be bought in & the perpetrator shot. Bloody hell with all the troubles in the world & our sport on its knees lighten up everyone FFS.

Yep let's make sure a really fantastic race track with multiple overtaking lines & an always superbly prepared surface like er um poole ????

Ok so sky give each team £100 grand each. They pay all previous bills off & guess what all the money has gone. Don't give it to the teams it needs to be invested into youth ,smartening up statiums etc. Surely we can all see what a complete arse the pleps have made with the sky money. Mr muppet thanks for your post so I guess we just stagger on with or without the sky money as everything is fine. I thought this was a forum for ideas so I didn't appreciate you calling my opinion silly.

What is the point of signing a new contract with sky if the money is just p***** away like before ? The sky money should be kept away from all promoters /owners etc.

Great post :is league speedway as it is worth covering. NO. & thats from a fan of 37 years.

£25 !!! & those bloody toilets. Even the riders can't we bothered.

Only 1 on each ?? !! Ok. Positive :-GPs look good live or on the box. Negative :-league speedway ON THE BOX looks scruffy etc etc etc. Premier league somerset.
