spook Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 devastated about crumpy ..... best of luck to him and I hope that he comes back with all guns blazing like someone else posted the authorities were damned whatever they did...... but for me the three major factors should be 1) safety, 2) the nature of the track.... & 3) economics of restaging I think Laguta's first ride gave an indication of just how close they were riding to the wind on the safety issue IMHO the shape of the Gothenburg track was not going to give us any kind of positive racing in these weather conditions and re: the economics ... I have no idea of what it would cost for the GP to be held on the Sunday..... but FIM, IMG, the riders, travelling fans, TV viewers, Polish clubs etc etc know that Sunday is always a possibility............................ if it has come down to a likelyhood that the rain will continue well into tomorrow then I guess we go into costing figures that only IMG and the riders know...... but that should also be compared to the cost to the reputation of the series of serving up racing like tonight's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Where is KKS when you want to gloat!!?? Busy knocking Lindgren. Better than knocking one out Pitiful GP. Should never have started on a soaking track that was only going to get worse. To aim to get to heat 16 is taking the piss. We could not have it tomorrow though could we? That would upset the Poles. And we keep being told GB can't have two GPs until we fill up Cardiff, how do Sweden have to GPs? The place was empty and it consistently a rubbish GP.

manchesterpaul Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) And BSI give orders which the FIM implement. OMG! have you still not found the thing in life that gives you joy yet! (see my post above lol) Lol only joking....everyone 100% allowed to express their opinions etc. But you will be challenged in the future unless you cheer up. I'm being dragged out the door for a night out, wish everyone a good evening that has finished a little too early in some respects. Good night all.

I APPRECIATE nothing will change your somewhat warped mind but that actually isn't how it works. But, as has been mentioned recently on this particular post, your negativity is something to behold.

PHILIPRISING Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 And your subservience to BSI is also something to behold. Would you jump off the roof of the Ullevi if Teddy Forstmann told you to? NEVER met the man and unlikely to given his current state of health. You would do better to allow facts to determine your opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyluck Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 NEVER met the man and unlikely to given his current state of health. You would do better to allow facts to determine your opinions. Fact: people paid for twenty-three heats. Fact: it started raining mid afternoon. Fact: there was next to no racing during sixteen heats. Fact: as soon as heat sixteen is passed it is called off. Fact: the first GP not to go the distance - at least Ole Olsen always got a GP to the finish when he started one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.N.T. Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Shame about the weather deciding events in this GP as it looked like it was going to be close in the Semi's as Greg, Noddy, Emil and Gollob were all starting to look possible winners along with Lindback who looked like a different rider to the first round. Here we are in the dawning of a new era of riders that can dominate the world of speedway with the likes of Holder, Emil, Lindgren and Ward .... yet joint leaders after 2 rounds are the Over 40's of Hancock and Gollob on 24 points. 24 - HANCOCK, GOLLOB 22 - Sayfutdinov 21 - Pedersen 19 - Holder 17 - Lindgren 17 - Hampel 17 - Kolodiej 12 - Bjerre 11 - Jonsson 11 - Crump 11 - Harris 10 - Holta 10 - Lindback 2 - Laguta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh i agree, bit like Poland have how many GP's?. So tell me, where else can we hold a GP appart from Cardiff? And don't say Coventry.

Why do you always include Lindgren? He's done nothing of note on the global stage. Just because he's a big fish in the Elite League pond with your Wolverhampton?

Just because he's a big fish in the Elite League pond with your Wolverhampton? I was stating that there are new young riders coming to the scene now and at just 25 years of age, I consider Freddiue to be one of those and even you cant question his talent in the sport. Ok, he has yet to win a GP, but has come close a few times and true his scores in this country are considerably better than abroad, but I (along with many many more) believe he will be one of the front runners in the not too distant future.

gypilgrim Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Why not run the meeting tomorrow AM, like they did in Croatia last year ? Conditions were, if anything, better at Scunthorpe last night and not a wheel was turned. P**s Poor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
