Lioness Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Sigh, resorting to veiled threats of violence. Little wonder you support your buddy Greg. Greg doesn't even start running until Nicki is almost all the way back round to him, why is Nicki going to 'get off his bike' before then? You see perhaps Nicki doesn't consider fighting an appropriate way to go about things? Some call him a coward, I call him sensible. Never thought I'd see those two words in the same sentence. The pedant in me really wants to point out they're not in the same sentence.....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 One thing for sure, the footage of Greg running and launching himself into Nicki, is bound to be used for a "what happened next" proggie. Bet nobody gets's answer A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remembertheracers Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 If I ever see crap like that again, it will be my last visit to speedway. All rather contrived but Swindon need a #1. Can Middlo make Darcy's Swindon parties as an OAP guest s he is usually there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooversquash Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Are you starman's less intelligent twin? Do you know what "national" means? And are you aware that Sweden is not in Britain? Point acknowledged everyone about my posting, but the point was there is a governing body to complain to about the individual actions of riders. Sadly, we miss the opportunity to make any real impact on riders (and don't give me any wasted posting about 'Human rights', when I say, give extended bans to those who step over the line, the UK is likely to withdraw from this farcical law in due course). I'm seriously considering going through the process of obtaining a League Referee's Licence if only to impose some justice to some of the riders I whine about during the season. I'll be happy to 'kick em out of a meeting'. Bring it on. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruiser McHuge Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I think this is an argument that will just go round in circles .....it's obvious many people seem to dislike Nicki Pedersen so if Greg Hancock had produced a shotgun and shot him at point blank rage you'd still get people on here defending him !...so people aren't going to change their minds.. I've no agenda with either rider so all my comments are from watching the incident and seeing the responses....I think the incident has many comments that are judging their opinions of the riders involved rather than the incident itself 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwatcher Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I hope tht when the day arrives, for the British GP, that all the riders have cooled down. Nikki needs to think a little bit more about his fellow riders, and the other riders also need to calm down some, what happened the other night has now gone, I hope that we see no revenge extracted by any rider, as doing so is otally wrong. We don't need to see any rider, pushed into the fence, because one of these days it will end very bad. So I hope that all this talk is forgoten and they come out and ride a good meting. Any rider who pushes another in the fence at the up coming one or any others for that mater, should be taken out of the meeting and also given a 2 or 3 match ban. It has to be stopped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 The SCB seeks to act as the independent body to ensure that the BSPA, Member’s Tracks, Riders and Officials all act within the Rules and Regulations of the SCB and most importantly within the best interest of Speedway motorcycle racing. The SCB each year produces a Rule Book known as the Speedway Regulations which covers all aspects of the National sport including the general rules of the Auto Cycle Union (disciplinary), the BSPA Rules (Team Formations, Meeting Rules) as well as Regulations concerning Technical, Medical and other Legislative matters. I think they might have something to say about it BWitcher don't you! You'll be campaigning for Jerran Hart to be released, next. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully things will have calmed down for Cardiff as we don't want to see the retribution scenario that idiot Rising was babbling on about. If Nicki gets injured at Cardiff because of someone taking revenge or simply an innocent racing incident as you said his foolish boast will come back to haunt him. One thing is certain a lot of people will be waiting with interest for the next time they race together. It's a bit like when Jack Millen came to town. A bit of niggle is good for the sport as long as nobody takes it too far. Hancock made a dick of himself and if he watches the replay will realise that it was not that bad in the scheme of things and a bit of an over reaction from him. Or maybe he won't. Cardiff will be very interesting with the potential for 3 clashes of Hancock/Pedersen. Should be a lively couple of hours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Maybe Nicki should try and get sponsored by 'marmite',,, :-) and Greg by 'dulux' or sumink,,, :-( Edited June 19, 2015 by ruffdiamond 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like watching Greg too but he is not as much a draw as Nicki. I am sure someone likes Nicki and that Greg is not universally liked by all speedway fans. he is a nice bloke and comes across well on TV whilst Nicki blames everybody and never accepts he did wrong but I would argue Nicki puts more bums on seats than Greg but have no basis to prove that of course anymore than those who argue the opposite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may not agree with people's point of view occasionally, but to get a contribution from someone who has more inside information than you and I will ever have, is something that needs to be respected - along with everybody else's views on here.

It doesn't mean that person is always right, or all of his/her opinions should be automatically respected. Anyway, in this case any inside information appears to have been kept to himself, not shared with the forum, which is fine if that information is being passed on to the relevant authorities so ALL riders can be warned about their conduct for the safety of ALL riders. But is it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is it? Is anyone always right ? No Should people's opinions be respected ? Surely Yes? We are talking about speedway here ! A few on this forum do not subscribe to that view, which for me immediately lessons the impact of the sometimes very good points they make. As for sharing information, I would imagine as a journalist you have must be very choosy as to what you pass on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, you have to be careful what you pass on, but information of the nature posted on the forum MUST be passed on to the relevant authorities, especially in light of what's happened to nip this in the bud. Should people's opinions be respected ? Surely Yes? We are talking about speedway here ! No. I respect people's right to an opinion. I reserve the right to disrespect the actual opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thischarmingman Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Noticed on twitter that the owner/founder of Meridian Lifts, who as far as I can tell are one of the SGP's main sponsors, is on a major anti-Nicki tirade. Fair enough he is entitled to his opinion, but when he is wishing bodily harm on NP ('hopefully laid up soon with a couple of broken legs and one arm' and hoping he ends up in an ambulance amongst other gems), this is going well over the score and doesn't reflect well on the SGP. Classy.... If this spills over to Cardiff and beyond, I hope Greg is satisfied with the s***storm he has created. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
