  1. It's speedway, I love speedway and of course want to get my money's worth out of SKY every month Funny you say that though because I didn't watch the last GP at all and I only really watched bits of this one, I continue to maintain that there are tooooooooo many of them to make each one compulsive viewing.
  2. Excluded Nicholls when it should have either been all 4 back or an exclusion for Holta, where do they get these guys from!!! Makes the GP series a laughing stock! hehe
  3. That's what I thought someone told me, pretty bad organisation imo! Why not leave Tai out for that one, give the other boys a chance!
  4. Do these tests take precedent over league matches?
  5. Yeah I'm a little surprised cos I'd certainly include those two somewhere in the line ups. Howwwwwwwwww I wish we had one of the tests at Lynn ............ I may try to get to the Wolves one, hmmmmmmm
  6. No LOL and I'm so annoyed that there are no Polish meetings on Sunday either, not league meetings anyhow ............. cos then the sh*t would hit the fan ............ oh could be some individuals though hehe
  7. For gord's sake don't turn this thread into a piss take, win or lose the matches give the young riders some much needed experience riding as a national team, as I said I wish one of the tests was at Lynn, it would be great!
  8. Exciting news for the fans of these three clubs, wish one of these tests was at Lynn Missed this news when it came out on the BSPA website and haven't read about the matches on here so thought I'd post, Wolverhampton on the 8th September, Swindon 11th September and Somerset 12th September! You lucky people, sound like some pretty exciting matches!!!!!
  9. Oh dear, have to race it on the Sunday then ...............
  10. Aw diddums, does Nicki not think he's getting the praise he deserves, geez I've heard that already this season (Edinburgh), of course Nigel and Kelv should give the riders who are racing in GB more of a plug, we have to look after our own
  11. At Lynn we are paying £12 per adult, £8 concession, £4 12-16 and nothing 11 and under, everything else is up to you really, I never do the raffle I'm afraid or a fuel fund and have a couple of coffees at £2 a night. Of course u can print off your own scorecard as many people do these days, it would be quite interesting if each promoter printed a one sheet scorecard with sponsors names on the back costing 50p and the usual £2 prog to see which ones the fans went for
  12. Well plenty of us had the pleasure of meeting Lunchy at Lynn last night, he's harmless, what u running on about He's certainly looking forward to his marathon speedway holiday, he'll have a ball
  13. The Danish riders were meant to keep the scoreline between them and Poland to under 6 points so the Poles couldn't put in a tactical rider (that is the rule, when a team is 6 or more points down on the team who is winning at the time they can nominate a rider to ride as a double point tactical substitute) who could would score double but they made a mistake and did so, but luckily for them Mr Gollob didn't manage to get the win. They had to make sure their placings in their races kept them under the 6. It's totally wrong really because you could end up with a farce of a race, speedway needs every rider to be giving 100% effort to win a race not riders tactically throttling off
  14. Yep, I, too, thought they gave up the ghost, apart from CH when Crumpy got injured, perhaps the olduns amongst them decided that they would let the other 3 countries fight it out amongst themselves and not get involved in any dodgy manouvres, either that or they literally didn't fancy racing in the conditions ............. hmmmmmm that adds up .......... TCH! Or perhaps they did a TeamGB on it and couldn't work out the right set ups ........... hmmmmmmmm
  15. Almost, apart from the first bend, one of the most important parts of the track lol
  16. It must be so good to have everyone in your country on your side like Denmark, I'm thinking the DMU and fans of course, not many national speedway teams have that. It's really no wonder that the danes are so determined and patriotic to the cause, they have no cause not to be eh! They had what seemed like a great team spirit and a team with strength all the way through, well done to them.
  17. Nah Shaz I'm not Amused at the dramas everyone is having to go through to be relieved of their hard earnt money!
  18. Well I could be very wrong but he certainly doesn't seem to have a good rapport with the team??? Give the job to Rob Lyon, his ways seem to work pretty darn well!
  19. How SAD it is that this thread is discussing how pissed riders get or not ................... professional sportsmen should never get pissed imo
  20. Just hope for a decent meeting to watch on the box and wish good luck to the aussies, most of em anyways
  21. Leave the boy alone for goodness sake, it's what he does on track that matters!! Seems to me that Tai's father might be the one for the BSPA to talk to, they need to find out just how he nurtured Tai into the rider he is today and hopefully put something in place for the youngsters along the same lines? He only races in the PL because he enjoys it more doesn't he? He was a 7-8 point EL rider a few years back before he broke his legs and is now back to good form again.
  22. Well if he makes it to be an english world champion he'll receive more plaudits from the british press than Jason did the aussie press! Does this tell us that he gives 100% effort when racing for his country but perhaps only 75% to racing in GB? Didn't expect much more really did you? It was a tall order for Tai and Eddie to come in there and race against vastly more experienced riders and come out on top every time which is what we needed to win the bleeding thing as well as the others doing it too. Richardson seemed low in confidence and speed, Scott failed to pull anything out of the bag, Harris certainly had his moments and rode a lot better but all in all just not enough. Never mind, there's always next year, we have a year to plan our 09 assault! Noticed the crowd was poor, what a shame
