TOTALLY UNFORGIVEABLE!! What's wrong with these blokes??!! There are too many riders that take the fans for granted, no fans no bloody jobs, do they realise that or not??

The GPs coincided with the birth of satellite tv didn't they, certainly since BSI bought 25 years of rights anyway ..........

That's interesting to note, thanks Chris Louis NOT! Seems to me that on the whole it's take, take, take from most top boys, don't they ever dream of giving?? You sure about that? I'm not usually one to moan about too much grading but that guy on the tractor was going round probably about 4 to 6 times with the blade, then 2 or 3 times with the grader and there were no ruts and no shale and it took 10- 15 mins each time! There was a guy from one of the teams came out and tried to find a little shale himself to rake, the actual track rakers were also constantly searching for a piece of shale or two to justify their job!

And why did Len's track man spend so much time grading nothing??

Yeah you're right Lovey I think I'll send em a new one!! Have to say though the young Poles today restored my faith in some riders. After noticing that not one of the riders who fell today acknowledged the crowd whilst walking back to the pits (not that fans expect acknowledgement but it would have been a nice gesture!) these boys walked off the track at the end of the meeting and shook hands, had a word with and had photos with their supporters, totally off the cuff, great

The promoters have to realise that they can't pull the wool over the fan's eyes, just come clean that is all we ask, we know what a draw Poland is and that GB comes 2nd best so just tell us as it is and stop fans summising or even worse getting to a meeting expecting a rider to be there then he isn't, thankfully that doesn't happen to much these days cos that really does take the wee wee!!

No bloody wonder speedway has hardly any supporters left

Oh god, where do I start, if it wasn't for Bridger's celebrations, watching the Poles shaking hands with their supporters at the end and having pics taken and the danes giving Jan Steachmann and another larger member of their team the bumps I'd have had a totally wasted day, at least they showed passion and caring. I really should have known that the bloody Rye track is almost impossible to pass on anyways, £60 down the swanny

I missed this foolishly thinking Rye House would be better today, unfortunately not

Did you really expect more?????

Guzzumped by Poland, oh dear At least Holder put BEL first??

I'd much rather the world championship was a series of qualifiers and maybe the best of 3 final. More riders would be involved starting from scratch every year, every ride would be absolutely crucial. Sounds more exciting to me than the 11 round series we have now.

Owwwwwwwww yes cos every ride counted big time in every qualifier and of course hugely in the final, the tension was massive unlike in the GP series ...........

This thread has got to be the bsf at one of it's worse

Is this meeting worth bothering with then, do the riders give a toss????

Well yeah, doesn't everyone get annoyed when important things go wrong, particularly in sport? Of course the TV people must love winding them up more than they already are, anyone could tell by Holder's body language in particular that he was ermmmmmm "annoyed" lol Time to leave well alone if they didn't want the viewers to hear expletives I'd have thought??!!

So good to see a brit do so well and from the back too, brilliantly well done Bomber!! Great to see Ted showing his support too

Let's hope it's something different from the norm.

Yep King's Lynn

Sounds like you have probably got it right, it was in the Star this week.

What company produced the programme?

Most British fans would prefer if the brits qualified properly, in fact I think most would prefer all the riders to qualify.

This would be good for Polish Speedway and BSI. I hope Gollob does it. It's odd that Poland, being the main speedway nation, haven't produced more world champs!

I wondered if that bit of lift he got meant that he couldn't pass Emil as tight/wasn't then on as tighter line, as he hoped, hence the clash?

Just a shame he can't race under the flag of his home nation though or doesn't he care?
