There's lots about this in the other Cardiff thread. http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/ind...0&start=210

As Scott was walking down the pit tunnel after the incident, Emils pit crew came running up towards the track. As the one ran past he shoulder barged and pushed Scott to the floor. Scott got back up and was flustered for a while while he located his goggles and gloves... he was then ushered away into the pits. Emils pit crew were nowhere to be seen. To me Scott did nothing wrong, any man would stand their corner like he did. Emil riding him into the pit gate was the straw that broke the camels back.

This one? Shame, they probably still had crowds that we would envy over here. You could still take photo's and send them into speedwayplus?

Just because he's peaked doesn't mean he can't still be your favourite rider. How shallow!

Not this old chestnut again... perhaps we should go back to the pre GP attendances too, I don't mean the last Wembley 90,000 neither. Cardiff comes around every year, it'll be once every eight to ten years if we go back to the on off. Poland would be first preferance

Onwards and upwards anyway

I remember either Johnson or Tattum commentating on an incident like this some time ago on SKY. A similar incident and the rider on the outside was excluded, their take on it was. When going down the straight and you are in line with the rider on the inside at some point that back wheel will swing out. If it takes you off, you will be excluded as it's your responsibility to allow for it. We see this countless times in league racing so why should the decisions be any different at GP level! I'm no Nicki fan, but, Emil didn't need to pull that stunt either he could have passed him on the inside again like the previous bend.

So are we all saying that a refs decision should now be based on the riders involved and not the incident? It was a dodgy decision.

So we don't like any of the commentary team then? No wonder they don't listen, there are very very few exceptional commentators and all of those are booked for the big audience sports. We are a minority so will only get what's left, every time.

Just do what the Irish do..... if you are a 700th generation decendant or a cousin 900 times removed ... your in!

Some people on here do have a habit of picking up on errors and detail rather than answering the question or topic sometimes don't they.? I actually favour a seven man team format with just two teams per meeting over two weeks, like the football world cup. But this will never happen as it would be unviable and there isn't enough riders and neither is there enough quality teams. Although this would open the gates for the likes of wales and scotland to compete although the usual few teams will stand heads and shoulders above others.

Cheers gents... I had a feeling I wasn't going nuts and he did discuss it. Shame it never happened.

If my memory serves me correctly, when Sam Ermolenko became world champion, he said in an interview for the Speedway Star he wished to participate in match races. This was to race the highest home scorer at every track including Division two tracks over the following season, to help bring bodies through the turnstiles. Did he ever complete this feat? If not did it ever get off the ground? Did he win them all or some? I can't remember him doing it which is why I'm asking.

Two threads have been joined here haven't they.. well I hope they have or I'm going a tad nutty!!! Very good though.

This is devastating news... I wish you every success in whatever journey you take next.

Isn't Setanta free on cable?

Quite, but being big tracks they can get pretty strung out too.

Who's to say Polish speedway is any better? It's still four bikes going around and around?

No worries buddy, I actually thought it was very unselfish of you to pass by, take pics and take the trouble to post them up. (different smilie )

Err there wasn't a problem... I was thanking you for putting them up..

Thank you for sharing those.

The only way that would be achieved and that is as long as the facilities are equally as good as the current venue. It's all well and good having a carbon copy race track, but if people have to stand in the wind when at the moment they don't have to.
