Paulco Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Bit surprised Wright won it, I was adamant it would be Holder tbh Still fairplay to him as he sounded like the best on the night and nice to see young, British rider doing well. Also, I'd be annoyed if I had gone down to support my team's rider and if any Sheffield fans did go I'd be interested to hear their feedback on Andre's awesome score <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe he's just not took these events seriously . Certainly hasn't looked like a 10 point rider in any of the superseven events . Might still be angry about the British Final snub . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Addison Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 You obviously have no idea what goes on at accidents especially serious ones,the M/Way would need to be closed whilst the AIP carry out there forensic work to determine the cause of the crash,speak to any present witnessess ect,ect,ect,as for fiddleling with thier plonkers,i'm affraid the only plonker is you,my friend. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I read the posts on here about the obvious tragedy and Bob C summed it up perfectly before we knew a baby girl hed been killed, then the following comments from Islanders fans who had a nightmare 12 hours wasted but put it into perspective and then low and behold you get this post from Chris the forum number one pratt. What a dik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might still be angry about the British Final snub . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That does not wear with me, there were alot of Sheffield fans who went down to support him, so if that was the reason then he has gone the wrong way about it. To be honest, only Andre knows the true answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymundo-iow Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 i was one of the unfortunate people stuck on the motorway, having travelled up from the isle of wight and getting so close to the meeting, pav and crouch were a few cars up so we were updated on how holder was doing which was a bit of luck. we managed to get through the traffic and into the stadium just in time for the last race. congratulations to james wright. on are way back we pulled into a service station and saw james king, he came and asked if we managed to get there and who had won. hopefully they raise quite a bit from auctioning his tyre if he is stung with a fine for not appearing as someone said earlier as that is plain stupid, he did his best to get ther. come on noddy and the islanders lets win these playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 yeah is there any photos available of the event and will there be a dvd of the match??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanisnumber1 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Well done to wrighty on winning the PLRC a suprise winner by all accounts. We all have theories why Andre has done so badly in super seven events this season and i know i dont ride a bike before anyone says that but surely his commitment must be questioned. The number of teams for next season that dont include Andre which have been posted must tell you all something or give people hints!!

Buck Rogers Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 More proof that neutral venues don't work - Sheffield have had healthy crowds for this meeting in the past and is bloody easy to get to via the M1. Five year plan should now be put into plan with Tracks decided for these events and stuck to. Well done Jimmy - must now step up to the EL full time and progress at that Level. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Swindon is bloody easy to get to along the M4, apart from the poor family that had a tyre blow out on them, causing all 6 lanes to be shut for a time. Don't you also think that the crowd would've been far healthier if the crash hadn't happened? A conservative estimate would be about 10,000 people stuck on the motorway, and if 5% of them were fans, well you do the maths. Agree that perhaps things like this should be on their own leagues tracks though, to make sure of a healthy crowd, and if it was on some sort of rota between tracks in the league, then it might go some way to eliminate home bias' As it happened, sounds like a good job we missed the meeting, no noddy in the final, and more passing on a gridlocked motorway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jamie Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 On behalf of Jason King and Mildenhall may I apologise for his non-appearance at Swindon. not sure there's any need for an apology given the circumstances but thanks for making the effort anyway! Had to take a half day as i was shattered i took Monday and Tuesday off Also, I'd be annoyed if I had gone down to support my team's rider and if any Sheffield fans did go I'd be interested to hear their feedback on Andre's awesome score i blame his mechanic ------------------------------------------------------------ anyway, had an excellent evening in the company of Seb the Snail (all night) and Grachan (most of the night). was also good to see again / meet for the first time SCB, Silver Bee, Jotrez, a very shy (and startled!) najjer, Iffoid and the PoS chaps and chapesses who actually made it, namely Foldsey, Leigh and Ruckeroo. sadly, i have to agree with those who said the racing was somewhat poor. i've never been a great fan of the Swindon track but, having watched the EL play off Final last Monday, i hoped it might have changed for the better. hats off to young Mr Wright - a thoroughly deserved win. at least p1shy Nermark didn't win, even if i did 'land' him in the sweep Kaj with a j was a tad unlucky to only score 7. kinda sums up our year apart from that, i have to say the Blunsdon chicken burger was bl00dy awful... sack the chef! and the event as a whole? i can only repeat what i've said before... super7even - same sh1te, different banner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pollyanna Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 congratulations to james wright. on are way back we pulled into a service station and saw james king, he came and asked if we managed to get there and who had won. hopefully they raise quite a bit from auctioning his tyre if he is stung with a fine for not appearing as someone said earlier as that is plain stupid, he did his best to get ther. I quite agree, Jason King should not be fined for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutz Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Firstly, ban from the forum Chris the idiot who was "unfortunately stuck in the tragedy on the M4" - Maybe it's only a little consolation that it wasn't the only thing he was stuck in, as to also have his head up his own ar$e stopped him from seeing the true scale of the tragedy. Ridiculous if Jason King is fined for this. How can you predict something like that happening? From an Edinburgh point of view, Kaj was very unlucky, and would've easily made the semi final. Some of the moves on turn 1 & 2 were as good as any on the night. For the meeting? After turn 2, then it was processional with the odd exception. But Turn 1 & 2 is what a lot of it is about and some of the moves made, were classic to watch. Messr's Wright, Woffinden, Laukkanen and Lyons - take a bow. Also surprised, like many that the likes of Holder etc. didn't trouble the finalists, but you can only have 4 men in the final and they were all there on merit through the evening. Congratulations to James Wright. Venue... Ok, if it needed to be Swindon, then why oh why, have it at 6pm on a Sunday? This (excluding the M4 incident) was the reason for the low gate. Surely buses would've run from the Northern tracks if it was on a Saturday or even earlier on a Sunday. How can you justify going to a meeting when you need to get back to work the next day with probably 1 or 2hrs sleep maximum? Still a believer that it should be on a neutral track, but in a more central location. Surely if the Super7 is the way to promote the sport, then it should also look at a track - ala Millenium stadium (Yeah, ok, not so extravagant) to run all these meetings on? Hire football stadium in the Midlands and transform it? Then everything is neutral... Only reason it should go back to Sheffield is if they move elite league next year!!!!

SCB Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Not a bad meeting tonight although it was fairly apparent that most of the field had not ridden the track before.As an educated guess, it's only Nermark, Kerr and Holder who have never rode there before. One made the final, one was 6th and Chris Kerr had one amazing race! Wrighty a worthy winner, however I can't help thinking that any of the finalists could have won if they had been able to choose gate three <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know you're not complaining but it should be pointed out to people, he EARNED that gate 3 in his 5 programmed riders by winning (or nearly winning) off all 4 gates. Everyone had a even (more or less) chance of getting the good gates (ok, who ever had 2 of gate 3 or 4 had a better chance than the poor sods who got 2 of gate 2!!!) How many times have you seen him ride?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> About 8 or 9 times now. He's entertained me, wowed me, left me scratching my head, impressed me and made me wonder if I'm watching the same rider two races running every time I think! Subedeis name for him is spot on! SCB, if you like him that much, Newport may be able to snap him up for next season to ride with Rajek, as I don't think many Berwick fans want him back. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've seen Newport ride once since last June and that was at Brum, I'd welcome him to Coventry if he fitted in (or Auty and/or Roynon wanted another year in the PL) Its hard to generalise a rider over one meeting. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not really. This thread is about the PLRC, so generalising about it on this thread is not harsh, it's actually the whole idea Seb, youn were able to stay at Brandon then. I bet you wish Billy had won heat 1 now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frigbo Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) As an educated guess, it's only Nermark, Kerr and Holder who have never rode there before. One made the final, one was 6th and Chris Kerr had one amazing race! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nermark and Holder have both been there before, despite Nermark saying he hadn't in the SS this week! He rode in a Swedish u-21 side alongside the likes of Bergstrom, Kramer, Late Kenny Olsson and the mighty Tobias Johansson back in the early 2000's when we were Prem League.

Nutz Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 cost? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That would depend on the stadium that you hired Was just a thought... Surely it gets rid of the squabbles between PL and EL every year... How about the fact that a training track is used? That'd separate the men from the boys! Come on KJ, where's your sense of adventure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
