Yeah, we're crap. I don't know why we even try. Just tell all British riders to quit, and we'll all be happy...

No just recognise where they stand and stop having the powers that be build up mediocre riders and start from scratch. GB riders can rise to the top but at this moment they not on the pace and those in charge are doing these lads no favours. The riders are OK but they have a long way to go to be good.

If tomorrows Final delivers anything close to tonight for entertainment I'll be happy enough. I don't like seeing riders get hurt and it does detract from the overall spectacle but, for me, that was a cracking evening of speedway, thrills & spills as they used to put on the flyers outside Hyde Rd, all part and parcel of the sport.  Roll on tomorrow!!!

Can’t believe they never gave Flint a race  ,he can gate.Kemp didn’t look great IMO.

Flint rides at HL Number 5 with a .5 higher average than Kemp who rides at 2, can’t understand why he didn’t get a chance.

So you don't think  there are any British riders that are "on the pace"?

For me it was all a bit surreal

A really good meeting, which surprised me. But my opinion is a world championship being telvised in front of such a poor crowd, quite possibly does more damage than good. Absolutey no atmosphere, and how can there be, and despite the professional surroundings, it is just like it doesn't matter to anyone, apart from the few dozen people closely involved

the 3 meetings together probably haven't attracted a decent non league football crowd

That is one of the biggest problems with British speedway; it's tough to get any sort of atmosphere when you don't have a crowd.

Sounds like you're describing speedway in Britain.

Back to basics, team GB are not as good as they believe themselves to be and the powers that be need to stop pretending that GB are a force to be reckoned with. Let the youngsters mature over time, they need to grow into a force to be reckoned with, but at the moment they sit behind many of those on show tonight but can learn. 

Brennan second top scorer and if Kemp hadnt come off against the Aussies we could have had gate choice for the semi. Thought they looked very competitive

Brennan 20 points, only Gusts did better, impressive! Vatch too loyal to Drew to be honest, Flint having a better season

But apparently, there are those who don't think he's "on the pace"...
