DavidC Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 What a fantastic meeting - a cracking advert for speedway but yet again Tony Millard's ramblings and mistakes make cringeworthy TV - get rid of him Sky for christ's sake!

iris123 Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Didn't Scott say he'd bow out if he didn't qualify in the top 8? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh,don't mention that Especially while you are wearing an anklet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Agreed but can you see a GP series running without a Brit?I think BSI are shrewd enough to realise where their markets are strongest. I'm sure they will pull the old "injured for a GP" and " rostrum place" arguments <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â One single, solitary rostrum in the last three seasons? In fact, one single, solitary final appearance in the last three seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jontaberer Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Wouldnt it be great if they had a microphone near Nicki on the rstrum as the National Anthem was played "Oh I am the one, the only one, I take no prisoners , I stand alone, So move out of my way on the track, or you will be in the fence and on your back, Now watch me race again and again Where's that xxxxing xxxxer, Ole Olsen" <{POST_SNAPBACK}>  LOL i love the last line!!

poole play off pirate Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 One single, solitary rostrum in the last three seasons? In fact, one single, solitary final appearance in the last three seasons. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â Maybe if they had two gp's on home tracks like the poles and swedes they may have a better chance . Â The brits have one home gp on a one off track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 The brits have one home gp on a one off track. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>  The Danes have their GP on a one-off track. The last Danish GP was won by a Dane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 The Danes have their GP on a one-off track. The last Danish GP was won by a Dane. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But the danes also have a couple of world class riders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner_girl4eva Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Fantastic gp - cant remember enjoying a gp like that for a long time! Big congrats to Nicki - what a star he was tonight - very happy he secured the bronze medal position and a well deserved gp win. Did anyone else notice Leigh Adams mechanics having "words" with Nicki after he found he had got his bronze medal in the pits - something was definitely said towards Nicki from the look on his face - found that so childish on their behalf. Â Good performance by Jagus and some great rides by Gollob & AJ tonight -so entertaining. Cant wait for next year already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwf Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Think Scott Nicholls has got as far as he is going to go now. Top 10 is about as good as it will get. Nice to see Lazarus Lindback turn up tonight. Agree with SS, he really should have given it a miss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Sat and watched tonight with a couple of speedway vigins. They loved it. They'll be watching the play-offs on Monday now but would not be convinced to come to Peterborough.  Brilliant meeting, great racing and I don't believe a single rider ended up on the floor all night.  My one complaint, Scott Nicholls, WAHT WERE YOU DOING IN YOUR 4TH RIDE?!?!? A near certain 2nd, probably 1st had you stuck to your line and rode your own race but NO, you did a Naughty Nicki and moved the main contender over and let everyone pass you! You plonker! you bloody great big plonker!!!!  BTW, glad Lee is now out of the GP's, that'll save me £10 a GP. Stan James will be gutted, it'll be £10 a GP less for him now! So much for my theory, "He has to come good eventually!". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jontaberer Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 The danes also have two world class riders who can win anywhere . <{POST_SNAPBACK}>  too right, gona have a punt on Hans Anderson getting a medal position next season (even though i dont like him).

And you may enjoy watching speedway around the abortions that pass for tracks at Cardiff and Copenhagen, but I think you'll find most people enjoy watching the mastercraftsman Tomasz Gollob around a proper track in Bydgoszcz.

Mr. Clemens Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Average to good GP tonight - lacked the bite and atmosphere to make it a true classic - though certain races eg heat 7 were great  Best man won = clean slick and professional = Nicki laying down his marker for 2007 = the real Dane to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caristom Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Wonder how Crump gets on with "God save the Queen"? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â Â Â he was probably expecting a wurzels song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 (edited) Next time that sad excuse of a commentator Millard blights our sport, I'm going to make a note of how many times he mentions variations of the world 'disappoint'. I swear I was ready to hurl the TV out of the door by the end of tonights meeting. I was waiting for even the winner of a race to have bloody 'disappointment'!!! Â And wtf was he on about at the rostrom presentations...first the flowers were genuine, then the smiles and then the celebrations. Arrgghhhhhhhh! Â In spite of his abomination of a commentary (the Final heat has to be the worst yet) there was some cracking racing tonight. Definitely one of the best and heat 7 has to rival the Gollob/Nilsen heat from a few years back as my all-time favourite GP race. Â Now the wait on the wildcards begins...
