Guest Schumi Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Think even Sub agrees there is a place for Scott at Cardiff,just none of the other GP's <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes but I wondered if anyone had ever heard Sub say "I agree".

Subedei Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) Yes, in that context, I agree. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just for you Schumi, you'll find it on page 49. we also knew at the start of the season BSI had 4 picks..... so quit whinging! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And, how many more times before people understand, Scott Nicholls already said he didn't want to be considered for a BSI pick - he was going to qualify on merit, or he didn't deserve to be there. Did he qualify on merit? No. So, your post and point is irrelevant and pointless. It could do the world of good that Nicholls misses a year, just like Lindback needs to take a serious look at their approaches generally the sport. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It could, justifiably, be argued that being nominated last season was the worst thing that happened to Richardson. Almost every other weekend this season he's been humiliated at various GPs, including a zero return at one, and has maybe had his confidence shattered. Andersen, on the other hand, went away and worked hard to improve and justify a return. This charity everyone is proposing is negative and does nothing but harm those it is intended to help. I don't need to qualify, so instead of trying I'll get wasted the night before a GP. Think even Sub agrees there is a place for Scott at Cardiff,just none of the other GP's <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, like Andersen this season, give him the wild card place at Cardiff.

Sir Jasper Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Just for you Schumi, you'll find it on page 49. And, how many more times before people understand, Scott Nicholls already said he didn't want to be considered for a BSI pick - he was going to qualify on merit, or he didn't deserve to be there. Did he qualify on merit? No. So, your post and point is irrelevant and pointless. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He however does not say that if offered he would turn it down, so your post and point is once again deemed irrelevant and pointless.

So, this is what you want it to come down to, British speedway as the equivalent of the family down the road living on benefits because they're too lazy to get off their backsides and work.

Subedei Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Can't argue with that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's probably more than he deserves. But throw the dog a bone, throw a couple of coppers in the beggar's cap. All this begging Nicholls has to do will mean his cap's wearing a bit thin.

All this begging Nicholls has to do will mean his cap's wearing a bit thin. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What makes you think for one moment that Scott will be begging for a place again? You harp on and on about this subject but still going over the same thing. If BSI invite Scott back it will be because they feel it is the right move for the GP Series, no doubt fuelled by Skys constant babblings about the Andersen/Nicholls fued. Heck if I was asked to name one Brit for the GP series it would be Mark Loram, if you asked on of my mates they would say Simon Stead, another would say Chris Harris but we don't get to choose to even run a poll on the subject! Although maybe if someone set up a Poll on here for people to vote against certain members may pass the information back to the powers that be (albeit so they could snub it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 What makes you think for one moment that Scott will be begging for a place again? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> History. There's a long history of begging for a place at the GP table in Nicholls' career. And because history has also shown that the powers that be are willing to throw a few coppers in his hat, it means he doesn't actually need to qualify, so he goes out and gets wasted before GPs instead of being professional. Once you get caught in the poverty trap, it's bloody hard to get out of it. Certainly too much like hard work for a serial failure used to living on charity.

Subedei Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) There obviously needs to be some mechanism in place to even up the incredible advantage the Swedes and Poles enjoy in having two home GPs. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What advantage? One of the Swedish GPs is held at Eskilstuna, Nicholls' home club in Sweden for the last 8-9 seasons. There's no advantage whatsoever. Jason Crump rides for Wroclaw, but his opinion, stated at the Wroclaw GP was that the track was totally different from a league meeting. Under such circumstances, it could be argued that it's a disadvantage to the Poles, since they could be caught out by differing track conditions. I do with you'd stop coming out with such nonsense.

Subedei Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Belle Vue v Reading, at no 2 for Reading Janusz Kolodziej --- 0,0,0,0 = 0. GP rider? Ha Ha Ha Ha <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Remind me how many GPs are raced on joke tracks like Kirkmanshulme Lane? And did you happen to catch Simon Stead's latest powerhouse display in Poland? A mere couple of points from four rides against second tier opposition. Stead would be a complete embarrassment in the GPs, while Kolodziej would more than hold his own.

speediebee Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Become, like myself, serene in the knowledge that truth and justice are your partners as you battle through to the New Jerusalem. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Whilst its an invitational there will always be riders who, in some peoples opinion, are not there on merit, the alternative is 100% qualification. The question then is on what basis do you do it? A totally open draw, no seeding, no regional qualifications, riders can be drawn on any track anywhere? Or do you use the national championships of each country as a filter with an open draw for semis? Or do you rank countries by their world ranking and proportion their qualifiers or representatives into the final by that method? I dont know the answer, Ive seen all the above methods used over the many many years Ive followed speedway, all have their merits but non are completely 100% fair, if your the rider that misses out.
