Presumably Stead is the second reserve as he finished third in the last chance heat?

 

Or will they nominate James Wright to be reserve alongside Tai in order to give him the experience?

 

Surely that would be of greater benefit to British Speedway. Stead has already ridden in some GP's previously so would he really want to be reserve this time?

Nicholls to win the meeting at a canter, Kennett for the wild card.

Hopefully on the Sunday. :P

2 out of 3 ain't bad, as a portly American once sang. Well done Scott and Eddie.

 

It was just one big cider fuelled love-in outside the terrace Bar :wink:

The one meeting I've missed all season, and look what happens! One big 60's style Californian love-in! Typical. Sounds like everyone certainly had a good evening! :P

 

Gutted to have missed it, especially as former Forum favourite sirmatty was in the house! Hope to see you again soon, mate.

 

Finally - good to see Jimmy put on a decent show for the home fans in attendance. As mentioned, he should now be in for a profitable spell down at reserve. :)

What GP did Steady ride in as I cant remember?

Went to Swindon, thought the whole meeting was crap. There must have been 4 or 5 passing moves in 22 heats. Totally boring stuff, fill in the scorecard after Lap 1, YAWN. A terrible advert for the sport.

 

This follows on from the PL champs that James Wright won last year. That was the same. I was there that day, rubbish to watch, left after 15 heats. Missed nothing.

 

Why pick Swindon ?. No racing lines, always a boring meeting. As a speedway supporter, who wants some racing, I shall not be going to Swindon again, even for a league meeting.

 

Congratultions to Scott Nicholls for winning. At Wolves, last year, he only lost due to unfaourable gate positions in the heats. Bomber, top man that he is, is 2nd best for sure in UK.

I remember seeing him ride at Cardiff. Not sure the year. 2005 perhaps? Nicki Pedersen won the meeting.

Sound like a normal speedway match ....... speedway is nearly always from the gate .

Stead rode at Cardiff twice I believe. 2003 (Howe + Bomber also rode) and in 2006 I think. Pretty sure he was track reserve and did get a ride in 2005 too, although Norris was the wildcard.

Just go to skysports.com and the speedway bit - big bit on right hand side. Firewall shouldnt be an issue unless you cant surf on the net.

Love the bit at the end where after Eddie and Tai soak Scott with champers he rips off a tear off from his goggles :)
