Crump99 Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 (edited) I would crack open a bottle of Krug and drink down the lot in one go. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> After a post like that you must have started early. You won't be celebrating after Norway (apart from toasting Crump 2004) so you might as well empty the bottle after the sad events in Poland for the still as always 5 times bloke Shovlar's not an ar*e (although he does support Poole and there's no law against that, yet ), he does it to get a reaction and he generally succeeds. Just take it for what it is, a bit of banter Edited September 19, 2004 by Crump99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 If Rickardsson was to somehow come out as winner in Hamar I would have to hit Shovlar over the head with his bottle of Krug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ukdolfan Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Crumpy needs to get to Semi-Final to be 100% sure. As if TR wins and Crumpy goes out as 3rd place in last eliminator he would have 8 pts, which would leave both level on 155 pts and this would mean a run-off for World Championship as confirmed in GP rules. Having followed Phil Crump in 70's and Jason since he started, I booked my flight and tickets yesterday to be there on the night the best rider in World Speedway in each of the past 3 years and about the only rider who gives 100% in EVERY race no matter what competition, finally gets his just rewards! Go Jason! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest little bow Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 i think it will be a sad day for speedway if crump wins world championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I think it'll be a sad day if he doesn't win it. He's been the best rider in the world for three years now and absolutely deserves to take the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds On Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 dear o dear Steve,seems that the only guy choaking at the moment is dear old Tony,blown away by Crumpie when he was on gate one,fell by his own doing in the final!! Tell me Steve who was the last Poole assett to win a world title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjw ministerofport Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Well done Jason, love him or hate him he will be a good World Champ and in some ways as conroversial as Niki. Another great character and a great racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potters_Lass Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 I'm really pleased for Crumpy. After being runner-up on more than one occasion in recent years, he's basically got the cat in the bag. I was fortunate enough to meet him in March at Jan Staechmann's Juiblee. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! Potters Lass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HenryW Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 He's been the best rider in the world for three years now and absolutely deserves to take the title. I'll be delighted to see Crumpy win the title, but I'm confused as to where this oft stated "fact" comes from. Over the last 3 seasons Tony has achieved a higher average in the UK twice, a higher average in Sweden twice and a higher average in Poland every year. In the GP series Jason finished 2nd last year to Tony's third, whilst the year before he finished 2nd to Tony's first. Looks like Jason might finish ahead again this year. By my calculations they have the same number of GP wins over this period. Jason has more seconds and Tony far more thirds (thanks mainly to this season). Obviously when playing with statistics, you can make them say what you want, but I certainly don't think these figures suggest Jason has been the best over the 3 years.

BritPete Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 ......And poor old Rickardsson was VERY unlucky with injuries, and VERY unlucky not to be on his sixth win! But, next season? maybe, not impossible is it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
