But Matt Ford knows that come the play offs we need our best possible team and getting Pawlicki for a month isn't going to break the bank.

Not at Brandon it wasn't i was able to stand no problem, it may have got to those levels later in the evening but certainly not at the start of the meeting and as i said the rain only got really heavy towards the end of the meeting when i was able to walk to my car without any trouble, I was definately there i can post you my programme if you like which is slightly wet but not soaked or i can e mail a picture of it. No i didn't have a drum, after heat 2 after getting a bit wet with the light rain i moved from the first/second bend area to the standing bit in front of the grandstand immediately to the left of the pits. You keep banging on about 6 seconds slower when the only races that were that slow was in heats 9 and 10.

Exactly windy but not gale force and only got v windy towards the end and 2 seconds slower at the start only 6 seconds at the end and only the last race was slower than your NL rider reserves

That is rubbish it was not gale force winds or heavy rain from the start it was windy and light rain it even stopped briefly on one or two occassions it only became really heavy at the end. The races were not noticeably slow at the start.

But when Iversen came down it was heat 10, so Middlo didn't tell them to go out in a subsequent race.

That depends on the conditions, they may say it can be called off after heat 10 because they expect the track to worsen so by the the time we get to after heat 10 it would be deemed dangerous or if the conditions improved they could continue after heat 10. if the majority of riders do not think it is too dangerous to ride why should the minority over rule them.

To improve our team, he could replace Watt.

What are mean't to do, dammed if they carry on and dammed if they stop it, especially when two riders on the same team have a different view, the riders cannot and should not be put in a position where they have the final say, that decision has to be made by a independent official, maybe all meetings should have an ex rider to assess it when needed.

Depends on your view of dangerous, one riders dangerous is another man's not dangerous, Harris thought it wasn't dangerous and Joonas had a different view.

So Peterborough can't find a couple of bikes he could ride?

Your representing your country not an organisation and you should always want to do that, would Rooney turn down england because he didnt like the way football was run in this country.

With the form he is showing in the world cup i hope we can fit Shamek in the team before the play offs.

Yes his choice to let down his country.

If scott nicholls thinks he has any chance he must be mad

Thats because the danes want us to win be different if that was nicki pedersen

Bit annoying listening to scotty he should be riding

Yes i see your point, i was thinking another team in the mix may make it tougher for the poles.

I thought the old 12 heat rule was fair at least you get better value 10 heats for 18 quid is a rip off. Can't believe i actually went knowing it would be a crap meeting or rained off. i think i need to see a doctor!!

We had a slight chance with Russia in the mix but not now, its like a straight match between us and Poland and they have better riders.

Russia turning up with 3 riders is like England turning up with 10 players for a football match.

The same sentiment could be levelled at Nicholls, why doesn't Scotty ride in the SWC. You shouldn't need paying to ride for your country.

So if i backed Russia and with the Laguta brothers it was not impossible for them to have a chance then would i get my money back from the bookies? I haven't of course because my patriotism doesn't allow but i bet some have.

You say league points should be adjusted for only doing 10 heats which i can see the logic in but how is it these points are only raised when Poole are involved?

Over many years on this forum a lot of us including me have tried to have a reasonable discussion with the voice of no reason but he always resorts to trying to make out he is of a higher intellect and trying to gain kudos by trying to make out us mere mortals are stupid and trying make out he knows more than the rest of us when in truth he doesn't which is why he harps on about facts but doesn't actually give any of his own and can't even spell, what's headgrear!!
