TFI THURSDAY Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Gary Havelock is Premier league for gods sake just like Compton.But Gary Havelock was asked at the beginning of the season by Chris Van Straten if he would like to be in it. Now if thats not a case of 'If your face fits' then i dont know what is!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 . Exactly. He just gated and went. The bike did the rest. Renowned for his gating skills was Shawn. Lucky that his jet propelled starts meant that no one could ever get near enough to him to make him have to race. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wooooosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if thats not a case of 'If your face fits' then i dont know what is!!!!!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't know the answer to that one. I'd have to go along with others and say he may have got a place due to his long standing career at World Championship and EL levels? Who knows for sure!

21st century heathen Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 One thing he won't struggle for is pace, his bikes are as quick as anyones. His gating will have to be super sharp though. I fancy him and Lewis to really get amongst the more favoured names and ruffle a few feathers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fair enough. I've not seen much from him.

bazaar3 Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Tai will outscore Ed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ehhhh...no. To reply to your previous post, did you read my post correctly?? Just to remind you Howe scored 6. Kennett guesting for Eastie 11. And just for the record your saying Tai who probably has the same average in the PL that Kennett has in the EL is going to beat Kennett who demolished Tai in the U21 field. If Tai does finish higher, I will eat green ants for one week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pollyanna Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Whats Ed done at Monmore this season? Did he guest for Eastie on telly??? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, Eddie did guest for Eastbourne at Wolves recently, scored 11 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerdj Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 This meeting should have qualifying rounds (as it used to) then no-one can argue over it's credibility as the riders would select themselves on current form. It would then truly be the current best 16 british riders in the final. I suspect that would rule out Havelock and King and include Compton and Ashworth but we will never know. If not qualification then averages should be used starting with the elite and working down through the premier and conference leagues. Because there is hardly any brits in the "elite" league, you would probably find that Andy Moore would have a stronger claim to be included rather than Gary Havelock under those rules ! Still, I might go and have a look, but they should hold an important meeting like this on a "proper" speedway track. Wolves is more "way" than "speed" !

superguest Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Yes, Eddie did guest for Eastbourne at Wolves recently, scored 11 points <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wasnt 3 of those from a tactical. And Baazar your also forgetting that David had a 2min exclusion in his 1st ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 (edited) Bad news for Eddie is that he will have a 3 hour flight(plus checkin/out) back to the UK on Monday morning from Hungary. Hardly ideal preperation for an important meeting like this. Buut come on Eddie, you can do it, and if a rider deserved it after your performances this season, it has to be you.

Bazski Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 (edited) Someone should tell that to Tai. he has an English father, and Aussie mother, bt was born in the UK. He should be a Brit but wants to be an Aussie. Thats worse than being an Aussie. Its downright appalling. He would make money money with sponsorship etc if he was a Brit, so hasn't thought it through. Probably too young to realise the benefits of being a Brit over an Aussie. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Tais mom is english not an aussie so is his dad, he is doing a good job for young british kids in this sport, when was the last time we had any Phenomenal brit kids like Tai in the 80's Kenny Carter & Micheal Lee, if you lot who are baiting him spent less time on your Computers and more time being intersted in speedway you will see the benifits Tai will bring to this sport, and as he has choosen to represent britain than you should support him lets face it what other young brits are even in the running, brit kids get no support from the control board or the bspa.

Piccolo Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Can't blame for picking king instead of andre at least king has the bottle for the el unlike compton who sticks in the pl on a gate and go track like sheffield . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've said it before and I'll say it again, if an Elite League club had talked to Andre he may have been riding in the EL but do bear in mind that his previous sojourn into that league got him dumped and replaced by Johnny Foreigner. You assume far too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.N.T. Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Ha - Kennett kicked his G.I Joe, the last time they met and that was a couple of weeks ago scoring 11 points to Howe's 6.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just to remind you Howe scored 6. Kennett guesting for Eastie 11.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Lets get this straight David Howe only had 3 rides and scored 6 paid 7 in those three races. The only point he dropped in the match was to Edward Kennett in heat six, losing by a bikes length. David then won heat eight and then it heat 10 he finished second behind PK beating Davey Watt and Edward Kennett from the back Edward Kennett scored 11 points from 6 rides and three of those were as a tactical in heat 14. The riders he beat to get these points were Heat 3 = Theo Pjiper Heat 6 = David Howe Heat 7 = Will Lawson (Davey Watt ef) Heat 10 = Last Heat 14 = Will Lawson and Theo Pjiper as a tactical Heat 15 = Last IMPRESSIVE STUFF . . . If Tai does finish higher, I will eat green ants for one week. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "C'Mon BAZAAR3, I WILL HAVE YOU FOR BREAKFAST BOY !"

"C'Mon BAZAAR3, I WILL HAVE YOU FOR BREAKFAST BOY !" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, Howe had 4 rides TNT. Although technically he rode 3 times, a time exclusion actully counts as a nil pwoi, so its 4 rides. Hey its not Eddy's fault DH was too scared to ride against him. You may say impressive stuff, but he did beat Howe which is the point I was making. So thank you and good night. And do me a favour, if you rate Eddy so badly, why don't you put him down as my 100BSF bet on your betting topic for the British Final instead of Loramski because according to you he has no chance of winning anyway, so why not eh.

Steve Shovlar Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Sue was born and bred in Scunthorpe, I'll pass on the apology Mr Shovlar - when you post it! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So his parents are British. That makes it EVEN worse if he wants to ride as an Aussie. Let's have a statement from him pledging his allegence to the UK and Team GB for his career as a speedway rider. Then I will say I was wrong. Until then..................... On another note, I really hope there's not going to be a semi and final at this event. The non GP rider scoring the highest should be deemed the rider to be represented in the GP, not the winner of the final. Imagine if Stead, Kennett or Howe scored the highest in the 20 heats, only to lose out in a final or semi. Whilst it might not mean they are the winner of the event, their scoring in the heats should count to qualfy for the berth. If Stead scored 13 points in his five heats, only to lose out to, say, Kennett in the final, that would be unfair on Stead, who proved it over 5 races rather than one.
