speedway_dan Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Enthralling finish and not a bad meeting. Harris, Nicholls, Kennett and Woffy where head and shoulders above the rest. Not enough quality coming through behind the top British elite league boys im affraid. Shocking decision in the final. As a neutral i really wanted Tai to win. That could of been the catalyst to him pushing on to great things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandorum Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Amazing advert for the sport of speedway. Wuffy was really unlucky but it's a hard sport. Well done to Scott and also to everybody who took part especially Ed, Ben and Robbo who were entertainers. David Howe as well as he had every right to have a go. The two kids got a couple of rides there seemed a decent enthusiastic crowd and fantastic TV coverage. Breathtaking speedway and nice to see Britain with some damn good triers to choose a WC team from. Nice gesture from Chris at the end after being sent into orbit by his rival. Chris must have been gutted but showed he is a Big man! Once again a shame for Wuffy but he showed he was a Big man too. Best British Final for decades.

Bagpuss Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Nothing wrong with the pass in my book, was probably the only gap Nicholls was going to get so he had to go for it. I'm sure Bomber would have done exactly the same had it been the other way round. Poor refereeing to let that start go really. Hats off to all 17 riders for an excellent night's entertainment, just a pity the track slickened off so much towards the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fliss44 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Well done Scotty -- you did indeed do your daughter and family proud. Hard luck to a very brave Tai who continued to ride through obvious pain and discomfort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBee Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Inept decision in the last run of the final. Hard luck to Eddie who lost control just as he was hitting the front and even more so to Tai on a number of occasions. Congratulations to Nicholls.

MrMungo Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Nothing wrong with the pass in my book, was probably the only gap Nicholls was going to get so he had to go for it. Agreed. It was very, very hard, but bearing in mind the track conditions by then, you either had to be very forceful or first loser. Nicholls went for it and congratulations to him on his win. Credit to Harris for his actions. I was impressed. The track conditions at the end of the meeting were a bit disappointing, but other than that, it was a very entertaining British Final. Certainly the best I can remember for many a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Another fantastic speedway meeting ruined by Pearson's OTT commentary and his sucking up to his favourite riders. I enjoyed the meeting all the same but I have to admit the constant asking of the riders whether they thought winning the meeting to be British Champion or for the Cardiff ride was more important really, REALLY got on my nerves, the question should never have been asked ffs!! Talk about belittling the British title, what did they want them to say, "nah I'm only here cos I want the Cardiff ride!" Hardly the way to instill british pride!!!!!! Had to feel for Tai as I think he would have got the win in the 2nd running of the final, what was that move of Kennetts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) terrible meeting, nothing happened, doubt i'll bother watching speedway on tv again. well done Scott Nicholls. Other riders were unfortunate but he had the worst gate in the final and still won. felt sad for Tai as he looked in agony and Bomber did jump the start to push him wide. Wonder if we will see him race in the near future as he must have ruined his shoulder again with 3 falls Edited June 6, 2011 by Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josietoms Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Great meeting and from my eyes the perfect winner. If Harris had of won it still would of been the perfect winner. They got to tonights meeting on there riding skill. Unlike wuffy who sky wanted there, I can't see why as they back British speedway very well and Wuffy didn't even know if he was British last year. I also think it's time that it's held on a neutral track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Well Done Scott Nicholls, realy wanted young Tai to do it, and it did look as though he was going to even with the dodgey shoulder. For me Bomber was a credit to British Speedway, no tantrums about the move by Scott, and I would say a must to Captain the team for the WTC.

Blazeaway Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Decent enough meeting. For those whining about Steads inclusion here's what would've happened had he ridden. He would have scored 7 points, fallen off at least once and the screaming idiot would have lost his load whilst describing Steads "wonderful style". See, you didn't miss much. Well done Scotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think it's time that it's held on a neutral track. I think Wuffy proved on track that he deserved to be there. And when did he ever change allegiance from British? He has always denied any rumours and has stated he is British and always will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrenCook Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Haha, Woffinden so took a dive there Agreed. Classic Wolves' dive. Didn't gate, slid off. Think Freddie in heat 13 of the 2009 final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshiretyke Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Is that why he has an Aussie tattoo on his back. I have chinese writing on my arm, dont make me Chinese does it??? Tye is British through and through, born in Scunthorpe, not his choice he LIVED in Aussie is it? Give the lad a break!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert72 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 What a great british final, pleased that we now have our top 2 at cardiff, only negative was that silly woman sky still persist in letting lose with a microphone asking stupid questions all night.

josietoms Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Chinese writing is a bit different to a another national flag being tattooed. Wearing the Aussie team shirt in the world cup a couple of years ago didn't go down to well either. Just ask andy Murray what wearing a rivals team shirt does to your popularity.

r8gdp Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 The ref spoiled the meeting Harris jumped at the start pushing tai wide and out of the race should have been called back. Scot Nichols wins the meeting is crowned British champion god help us before that in the in the previous re run what was kennet doing the move was stupid no way could he dive in to the third bend like that with out causing trouble a stupid move by a rider riding above his ability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
