maybe GB should have got a go last year?

heard the rumours, have to listen to them i'm afraid

hey Silver Cheetah, oops, Silver Bee, are you still sending people snidey little PM's because your boys didn't perform for you? one thing is for sure, you need to now run around and pick up all the dummies you spat out when you pm'd me

waiting for some of these Team GB fans to start cursing about home track advantage ... before you do, think back a year.

maybe Team GB had bike problems all night then, would you agree?

taxi for Middlo!!

bitter

i thought a reserve could be used up to 5 times ... are GB losing by any chance?

lets hope there's none of those red flares let off tonight, let alone someone with a camera!! poor old Scotty won't know what to do

thought it was really funny at the end when Adams was interviewed ... he said that it'll be tough on Saturday in the final as the Danes will be up for it, and Poland looked strong .............. nothing else tell you what i also thought was good, whenever riders were interviewed i didn't hear Team GB mentioned at all, i kept hearing the word ENGLAND please take note!!

sorted

have i?? where? had a Russian avatar since last Saturday!!

Hans who?? come on the Ruskies!!

so basically most people, including the England captain, will class the meeting as a victory if they don't finish last

sounds to me like he will be happy to finish in the top 3 surely as England captain he should be saying he wants to finish in the top 1

there you are then, maybe that's just one of the England problems. if the captain thinks they can get 3rd, what do the rest of them think, and that's before they even know two of their oponents!!

so the GP's have ripped the heart out of what we used to get.

shame that, don't you have the cheapest airhorns

patriotism has been ripped out of the sport anyway ... how can anyone really 'follow' a team that is only in action once or twice a year? there are no test matches like we used to have, which gave us a chance to follow England and go to different tracks to support them. now, with the world cup being the only time they race, either there has to be a meeting in England, or people have to go abroad to see their national team, which surely can't be right. so, one meeting this year in England with the English team ... really makes you feel part of it doesn't it. and in the GP's ... the racejackets, riders used to be able to be proud of their flag on their chest, now all they get is a 2 inch block in the corner. i used to go and support England in test matches, in world cup, and in pairs if i could, but now there is no affinity to the team whatsoever for that one meeting per year. in my opinion, the GP circus has basically ripped the heart out of the sport when it comes to the national team, leaving no dates for any type of series and giving you the chance to support anyone.

well that's you and Christopher's Dad that want to take the piss, fair enough, do what you want ... always comes down to having a go at my riding when people run out of arguments. maybe you should come out of retirement and sell a few programmes, that'll help Team GB

maybe Nicholls should learn to whistle

that's right, but like i said earlier, there is nobody else, that's why the team picks itself, that's why there's no fighting for places, all of the riders there last night knew they'd be there as there's no competition for their places.

on a speedway track totally if only there were a few British riders like these about ...... can but hope. so come on J, who would you put in their place?

well all the Danes seemed to sing their national anthem on Saturday ... all comes back to pride and passion i reckon.

and as Star Lady said, it was also a fight for freedom of choice. that, basically, means i can support who i want in the Speedway World Cup, same as you, as you have that freedom too. i won't disagree about bringing on the youngsters, limit the number of foreigners that ride in the UK ... lets have the riders that want to ride in our leagues, not just here to take the money then get out when they want.
