sjw ministerofport Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 In years to come the actions of nominating riders to fight for the World Championship will be judged by the history books. Every rider deserves a chance to qualify for the ultimate prize, every track should run a number of qualifying rounds like they did in the past, but would people bother to turn up to watch these meetings as they used to, i wonder when some fans say that running individual meetings are pointless. As for the BSI they have pushed the GP series and the World Cup to heights only dreamed of a few years ago. They need to have large crowds and make decent returns to continue to support speedway. I for one love the GPs for what they are, however nothing can compare to a one off championship meeting at Wembley like we used to have. And our wonderful sport that more or less paid for Wembley stadium was kicked out not wanted by the football asscoation. As for who rides in 2006 i just hope that they all give their very best and reward the fans as they should because following the GP series is not a cheap passtime. Sorry for the spelling and grammer, just starting my second bottle of good red wine so don't be to harsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 They both failed, they should both be out. The qualification criteria was quite simple: you finished in the top 8 and you qualified. Nicholls didn't, Chrzanowski didn't. But you keep trying to justify it, although deep down you know Nicholls is only there because he's British. It's been 21 GPs since he last made a final. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yawn....

rabbit Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 And who cares? They're both so far down the list the chance of either of them getting a ride is minimal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shale Eater Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 (edited) I'm in agreement with Subedei here. Tomasz wasn't expected to do much, if at all anything, in the GP's while Scotty and Lee have both been in it for about 4(?) years now and what have they achieved? Not much. As far as I'm concerned, Lee and Scotty, for all there skill and promise, always seem to bottle the big occasions. Scotty didn't even make a final and had, really one decent round (Czecho - where he bottled it) while Lee was crap all year, apart from Bydgoszcz, yet he get's in ahead of Hans Andersen who made a couple of semis and the Cardiff Final. If I was Scotty or Lee I would seriously consider doing the qualifying rounds next year because they WILL NOT finish in the top 8 and the novelty of a nomination will be wearing very, very thin.
