stevebrum Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Good new for Freddie there, Steve. In fairness Vaculik would have needed to score something like 18 points to overhaul Fred anyway. Fred would be back next year anyway as top Swede.

nw42 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Can't see what all the fuss is about Watt taking part, it's only due to injuries and provides him with a taste of big time to bring the curtain down on a decent career. Great to see Doyle still prepared to get stuck in, could easily have switched off and nobody would have complained, respect to him for appreciated the fact that the crowd have paid good money and deserve as much racing as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 So name a stadium that can hold speedway for 25,000 in Melbourne or any other well populated city in Australia. Your comment makes no sense. Its like saying Cardiff is too big because only 40,000 attend a 70,000 seater stadium. . The AAMI stadium??? Capacity about 30000. Hosting speedway events in half empty stadiums js embarrasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILIPRISING Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 SO are some football matches in half empty stadiums but it doesn't mean they move elsewhere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 No great supporter of him really, but after the injury denied him last year, Jason Doyle deserves the title this year.Ditto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphrey Appleby Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 So name a stadium that can hold speedway for 25,000 in Melbourne or any other well populated city in Australia. The New Sydney Showground and Carrara Oval (Gold Coast) are 25,000. The Ekka (Brisbane) is probably around that too, although not sure its allowed to hold motorsports events anymore as a lot of residential properties are now around it. Of course, all these venues are outdoors. The problem is that after an initial reasonable first GP, little seems to have been done to build on that. And of course, its widely rumoured that its going to be the last Australian GP, with a bit of a scratch lineup, which probably isnt the best thing for encouraging people to turn up.

AND let's not forget the huge distances, as just mentioned by NP and KT, required to reach Melbourne from other parts of Australia. It's not exactly like Manchester to Cardiff Looks like Dudek has had his haircut for the SF IT'S stuffed under his cap ...

PHILIPRISING Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Strange that having it hanging out of his cap all meeting that he tucks it inside to pick a gate DOES that all the time FANTASTIC performance by Jason Doyle throughout the season and a very worthy World Champion. Let's just hope he continues to race in the UK next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheese Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Well done to Jason Doyle. And how often do we see someone win the title halfway through a meeting then tail off/don't bother, great to see none of that from Jason despite having the handy excuse of resting his injury if he wanted to. Congrats to Tai on the bronze as well 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPNY Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Imagine someone said in 2014 Doyle would be World Champion. Woulda laughed your plums off. Have to admire the guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Congratulation to Jason Doyle... I cannot think of a more deserving winner in recent years. When you consider what he has been through in the last two years it is absolutely remarkable that he has achieved his ultimate goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
