BluPanther Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 AND while you keep hammering Harris, he did score 10 points, was (I believe) leading at least once when a race was stopped, and probably fared better than any other British rider would have done. One thing you get from CH is 100 per cent effort. That may not be good enough but on a personal level he certainly doesn't deserve the abuse he gets on here. ABSOLUTELY agree with that 100%.....

Â I'm sorry, but after all the opportunities he's had (and largely wasted), I have absolutely no sympathy for Chris Harris. I'm sure there are plenty of riders who give '100%', but haven't received the charity he has. Â The fact remains, in his home country, in a meeting he didn't deserve to start, he still couldn't qualify. Â JT.

phillipsr Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Thats rubbish!!! British people allways hammer there own sportsmen/women. Look at football, rugby, tennis. Simple fact is Harris has been afforded more charity! Why does this keep happening?? How often will it keep happening?? Its embarassing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not me  He was superb at P'Boro this season when he visited.  Why shouldn't he take the opportunity when it's offered?  There's a lot more going on in speedway that's more embarrassing at the moment  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Niels Kristian Iversen Krzysztof Kasprzak Kenneth Bjerre  All GP riders next year!  Smoliski and Harris both scored 10! Dunno who gets 4th and 5th!  Has to be Harris all the conspiracy hunters on the forum moan how he got in so having consulted the FIM ACU BSPA Etc rulebooks it all comes down to alphabetic order Chrissy Boy do your best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 gate 4 looked impossible all night. shame that happened on such a big night as some riders would have had 2 gate 4's so chances of a good score were reduced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 back to tonights meeting. was there a decent size crowd, was the racing any good and was it worth 25 quid to get in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCookie Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 KK too crap to qualify by top 8 but can qualify through this weaker meeting every year? That's worse than Harris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 People care what people think...just not when it's the same thing over and over and over and over and over....   Touché! I really shouldn't get so irate, apologies for my inane rambling. Too many glasses of red… On a more positive note, I actually think a German in the series will be good for speedway as a whole. I can't see Smolinski finishing in the top 8 overall, but his inclusion should raise more interest in that part of Europe.  JT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
