    Two things to say about last nights meeting..

     

     

    1 - Well done to Mick and the track crew for getting the track in a decent condition considering the weather :approve:

     

    2 - I dont get upset/annoyed about Speedway anymore but one thing did make me think "even this is stupid for Speedway". Why on earth in the Semi Final and Final did the helmet covers not corespond to the gate positions?

    Not because of that at all, but it does prove it can be done.

    No it doesnt! (Assuming you're meaning it can be done and be worth doing)

     

    Fair play to Somerset for putting together that line up for £13, but it doesnt prove anything.. We will never know if it would have worked cuz the meeting didnt run :(

     

    I could run a meeting and charge £1 entry, pay Hancock, the Russian, Gollob, AJ, Crump, Nicki etc 10k each to turn up - I would make a huge loss, and certainly wouldnt be worth doing!

    Anders Mellgren also showed a lot of promise and was really entertaining, completing a brilliant overtake in his last ride. It's hard to believe he is the same age as some of the Hornets on display last Sunday......

    Really? :neutral:

     

    When you consider the probable facilities available to him in Sweden(?) compared to over here, it really doesnt suprise me at all!

    Actually he is. But to stay with his entourage (all five of them) cramped up in a van in this weather for a week just to ride a weather affected track after he had suffered from frozen hands at Scunthorpe which resulted in him struggling to complete his last two rides was probably just a penance too much to pay for such a privilege.

     

    I for one won't be blaming him for that. He pulled out early enough for the organisers to find a replacement.

    5 people! Surely he only needed 2 mechanics max - what are the other 3 for?!

     

    If he was using this as his chance to shine he should have made better arrangements for his trip over here. Christ, even me and missus had done enough preparation to my van to enure that we would have been comfortable had we had to sleep in the van in our recent road trip across Europe! I can almost gaurantee his van is bigger and better than my 1998 Ford Transit :wink:

    Glad to see fresh English blood in the GPs. tai was a dead cert and I for one am very pleased that BSI have gone against the grain, booted Nicholls and Harris into touch, and not gone with Richardson who had his day a couple of years ago and did nothing.

     

    Kennett is young, improving and British. I would rather he be in it than some non discript foriegner like Zagar. Eddie will try his heart out and while not likely to rock the boat, its a brand new fresh rider in the series and that is very important. I am sure he will not let himself down. Together with Tai he will do just as well as Harris and Nicholls have done this year. Lets face it they can't do much worse!!

     

    Good luck to both young Brits.
