Noodles Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) This might be of interest to some who want to take in more of Wales as part of their Cardiff trip: https://cadw.gov.wales/about-us/news/open-doors-2019 Map here if it helps https://cadw.gov.wales/visit/places-to-visit/find-a-place-to-visit/map Edited August 11, 2019 by Noodles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksman Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) I see that King and Harris are the track reserves, surely they should change the track reserves to be a nomination rather than who finishes 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. With all due respect King and Harris have been to Cardiff multiple times before, and experience for our younger riders would be more beneficial. Cookie has obviously declined this and it's passed down to Harris next in line. Winning the British Final is a different matter, if Harris wins obviously he deserves to be there etc. Surely if it's a nomination, common sense will prevail, i.e If say Danny Ayres finished top 3, although he can't be classed as younger rider he would deserve at least one shot at Cardiff based on the British Final result. It makes GB Speedway look a mockery to the rest of the speedway world IMO, and looks like we have no talent coming through.

Star Lady Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Nominating King and Harris just about sums up the way British Speedway is run....head, feet and everything else rooted firmly in the past. What the hell will giving those 2 track time do to benefit British Speedway...answers on a postage stamp! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted August 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) It should be Dan Bewley and Drew Kemp- ridiculous decision. !!!! I hope someone asks Tai his thought’s on that selection when he appears on the BT match at Wolves tonight.

Sings4Speedway Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Terrible choices both been there done it and heading backwards riders. Give Bewley & Worrall a crack (obviously i wished it could have been Danny but now he is crocked it won't be the same without him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 I didnt believe Marksman a few posts ago when he said King and Harris are the 2 meeting reserves for Cardiff GP. That is unbelievable. Obviously the powers that be dont believe in giving youngsters a chance to get a feel for the atmosphere at one of these big events and encourage them to reach out British speedway may as well drop the shutters now and close the shop. Its as good as finished here. Recovery of British speedway was going to be tough, but with management decisions like that there is no hope. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midland Red Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Perhaps Chris Harris qualifies as the highest average British rider in the latest GSA issue after Lambert and Cook (apart from Rory Schlein) Edited August 12, 2019 by Midland Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Who exactly has decided the reserves? unbelievable decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Just as we were starting to move forward seemed to have taken a backwards step recently. This being one of these backwards steps. Least cook made the sensible decision of declining it unlike the other two looking to grasp on to any chance at high level speedway they can get. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dornier Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Seeing as the Cardiff wild card is decided by the winner of the British Final it follows on that the track reserves should be the next riders in order of finish at the British Final namely King. Cook. Harris. I would lmagine those are the rules. Personally think King fully deserves his chance at track reserve, he was as good as Wright on the night. You just cant go around changing rules just because it doesn`t suit your own preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 No one has disputed that the winner of the British final gets the wild card (or the next one down if winner is already in the meeting). Dornier - you said “You just can’t go changing the rules just because it doesn’t suit you own preference”, yet just a couple of sentences earlier you said just as the winner of the British final gets the wild card it follows the next two should be the track reserves, then added “I would imagine those are the rules”, implying you don’t know the rules..... so how can you say “You just can’t go changing the rules”. what a fine experience it would have been for Dan Bewley, plus another, to have of driving down to Cardiff, drawing up outside the stadium, taking bikes into the pits and soaking up the atmosphere, experiencing track time with the worlds best, being in the mix to hear the roar of the crowd, and possibly even getting a ride on the big night. Moment lost. Apart from anything else, it has been known speedway management has changed the rules to suit itself many times before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted August 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Can someone confirm that the reserves at Cardiff are not every year 2nd and 3rd in the British Final- in 2017 Josh Bates was reserve and i`m pretty sure he wasn`t in the British final !!
