I think the fairest system was when they had qualifying heats before the main meeting, at least that gave more riders a chance to participate, not to mention the fact that it stirred the shale up for the main event.

Good news indeed.

Maybe, maybe not, but that does not excuse the horrendous move that Gollob pulled on Jonsson.

Gollob was very lucky not to be excluded in that race. He was mad when the race was stopped and he gesticulated his anger to the referee, in spite of the fact that another rider was down and receiving treatment. In the re-run his madness continued, and he turned into to Jonsson in a crazy fashion. Sheer lunacy, and he was the one that should have been booted. I just hope that the unfortunate Jonsson is ok.

If he put as much effort into his league racing he would be here now. His average last year was less than 6. It seems that he is only out of his depth in league racing!

Nicki V crump. It all depends on which one has the fastest bike this season!

He looks like catweazle

Nicki Pedersen: 60,000 Jason Crump: 50,000 Hans Andersen: 40,000 Niels Iversen: 25,000 Lukas Dryml: 20,000 Captain: Nicki Pedersen Total: 195,000. Edited to ask: Do I get any change? Ta.

Pure jealousy from the non-Poole fans in my opinion, because they know that this meeting will give Poole all the early season publicity.

Because that post was so absurd I C & P'd it, and told that it would come back to haunt him!

I wasn't going to post this, but to hell with it. This is what that Sub dude posted just over a year ago! "can't see anyone getting within 50 points of Crump again" Oh dear, but I did say it would come back to haunt him!!

Anyone's better than grump as the champ! Great show by Nicki!

You really are funny. At least "little Nicki" has been world champion and will be again. Something that big Gollob will never achieve.

Millard is a legend and this thread simply proves it!

Nicki would have done the same thing in the same situation. He has given it out in the past but he cannot take it when others do it to him. And yes, he has been the best rider in the world this year.

Is Hans Andersen destined to become speedways nearly man? There is no doubting his class...but it does seem he lacks the ability to finish the job off. In the Swedish GP grand final he was leading only for Adams to sweep past him. In the speedway world cup he was in the final heat with Denmark still in the hunt, but he was a poor third. At Swindon recently he was involved in a run-off for the aggregate point and even though he lead from the gate he still lost the race. And he admitted in his interview that he had "lost his head" And it was the same again in the GP last night. He made the final, gated in third place, lost control, Crump went passed and Andersen was stone last. There seems to be a recurring theme here! P.S. It was a fine meeting with plenty of passing. I really do not know understand all the moaning about it.

I think that Middlo has had a decent enough run as TM now, I know that whoever comes next cannot wave a magic wand but I do think someone else should take charge. My short list would be, in no particular order: Rosco, Eric Boocock, Shazzy.

A few weeks I'd say!

Mateusz, what are Zielona Gora like on their own track? Torun seem to have a very strong team. Could they give them a good scrap?

You're such a clever clogs Iris, and your post about the feeding of the 5,000 yesterday was hilarious!

Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Now is the hour, and Rosco is the man. You know it makes sense.

The girl did good! Most impressed with her.

It's obvious to me that the final, when held in the UK, should be at Lakeside. After all, can you imagine that this team would lose to anyone: 1) Loram 2) Hurry 3) Lanham 4) Louis 5) Stead. I rest my case.

Wow, either way it's something to brag about!
