And i did say look at justin.tv but there you go. Glad you got to see it.

I would give him alot more than 1 meeting ban. There is absolutely no need for that sort of behaviour. One of the three remaining riders could have been seriously injured due to that.

Well Done Jason
Lets hope the BSPA members were watching and saw Darcy

You wont find anything when it hasnt even started yet.

Thanks for that Humphrey you have summed up perfectly the mentality in the British Leagues. Blame everything you can before actually looking for ways around it. You blamed the weather, the road system, the number of meetings, the stadium rental system. Just about everything you could possibly conjure up, yet after all that blaming the sport is still where it was before it. So yet again alot of hot air and nothing done to fix the fixture clashes.
Lets take Edinburgh and Glasgow for instance. 4 meetings a season between the two clubs for nothing more than a challenge exhibition. That could be 4 league meetings. Or half of our PT qualifiers. We dont need a Spring Trophy and a Scottish Cup. I cant think of a single club that doesnt have some form of micky mouse trophy taking up space in a season. That could infact be used to stage more meetings. Meaning more space in the calendar to work around FIM meetings and the like.
EDIT Just like to point out that this was not a personal attack on you Humphrey. More a generalised observation of how the BSPA and British Speedway as a whole is run

Great !! even more disruption to racing in this country then next year and this time probably affecting the PL as well. Presumably SGP & the FI whatever are really looking to kill the sport off here.Sorry but i cant agree with you here. If anyone is killing off speedway in the UK its the BSPA and the promotions. Every other league manages to run meetings on one race night and keep it away from GP fixtures and World Cup fixtures etc. We seem to be the only ones who spread racing over a whole 7day period and complain about everyone else but ourselves when we have riders missing due to a certain competition. Maybe if the BSPA etc got together and agreed to make a season work using only 2 maybe even 3 nights we wouldnt have to use R/R as much and wouldnt have riders missing for FIM meetings all over the place.
-
Hmm, whereas in the alternative universe you live in, apparently Lee Richardson IS a world beater!!!!
I think you're being a little harsh on Iris. This is Denmark or Poland we are talking about. There isnt an endless sea of talent. When it comes to picking a "Brit" to ride at the GP level you dont really have much choice. 3-4 guys max therefore you are bound to start seeing the same names etc. Also as mentioned Lee is proving he can score at the top with his continental form.
-
I cannot believe people are mentioning Tai and Emil in the same sentence. They are miles apart in ability. Ok the law of averages mean that Tai will beat the top boys at some point or other as he faces them so regularly in league meetings. But on a consistancy level over a whole GP series Tai's inexperience will leave him close to the bottom for all to see.
-
That could well be one reason that the "Brits" have been left wanting recently. if, as you say they actually had to earn their places they may well step up their game and be competitive in the series.
-
Because Iris its common practice now that if i say anything remotely negative about an English rider im accused of being bias and anti Englsih etc. The only English rider to start a GP next year should be the wild card at Cardiff. Just my opinion.
-
At the risk of being called anti English etc, there is not one English rider that is good enough to be in the GP series. So why not gain more fans by actually showing riders that will challenge for the positions rather than ones that will prop up the rest.
-
And arguably never have done in any World Final, be it traditional or GP.I would rather see someone earn their place through riding than have it handed to them due to their birth place. I will more than happily watch Zorro in the GPs as he earned his place there. Unlike others who appear in the series year in year out.
-
Well i also would turn up at Cardiff regardless of the 16 riders nationality. Aslong as they are regarded as the 16 best in the world. Which even now we aint getting.
-
Ok heres a question. Would a lack of "Brits" stop you going to Cardiff or tuning in for a GP on Sky?
-
Being devils advocate for a second herewhy is it ridiculous?
The most successful motorsport of all doesnt have a qualifying system and is all down to nationalities and audiences
or am I missing something?
(By the way this doesnt mean that I agree with the F1 system)
What does a F1 drivers nationality have to do with anything?
-
Its a complete farce that someone can be slipped into the biggest event in speedway just because of where they was born. Just another reason why the sport gets laughed at. Yes i agree that the Danish GP should have a Danish Wilcard and the British GP etc etc etc. But for someone to have a place in the series as a whole just because of their nationality is rediculous.
-
Worrying this
- Snyper1010 - I find myself agreeing with you 100%. You are absolutely SPOT ON!! 
Im glad we finally agree Ian.
Going off topic a little here do you (everyone as a whole) think that the GP series makes somone less of a champion than a on the night winner of a world final? Giving that the pressure as mentioned is reduced due to it being a season long event and not a one off. I hope im getting my point across here.
Do you think Nikki P would be 3 times World Champ under the old system, or do you think that he would have allowed his hot temper ruin a one of final?
-
Agree but under the old one off system was it easier to be World Champ,Id say it was.I mean would Egon Muller ever have been World Champ under this GP system.Wasnt really a "one off" was it. I mean there was qualifiers to be won to actually be there. So the riders that did take part in the "one off" final were all there on merit. Shame the same cant be said for todays GP series.
-
Snyper, it's obviously Ryan Fisher.
All the best
Rob
He aint retired or deceased yet
It can be riders from either format. But i would have to agree that Leigh Adams has long been of World Champion quality. Do you really feel its his "nice guy" personality that has let him down as people sometimes say or do you think there is more to it than that?
-
Ok i aint sure if this has ever been done and if it has i apologise. But being halfway through the "Tragedy" book about Kenny Carter i got thinking who people would class as the best rider never to actually be World Champion. So i was thinking that we could name who we think it was and if you wanted you could maybe put your own reason/thoughts/analysis as to why said rider never got their hands on the most sought after prize in speedway.
-
Like other individual and shared events that were mickey mouse, but the winning fans were still thinking they were the greatest thing since shortbread.
Im sure your mob would be chanting all kinds of rubbish if Shane or James won the Open. So....... COME ON FISH.
-
Fisher the king of Ashfield. That wont lie well with the Chickens.
Well done Fish fantastic. Also a well done to Stormy and Raj with two very respectable scores.
-
Nice one Hans 3rd place cant complain with that. He was never going to win that from gate 3
Gollob - 2010 Race Suspension?

Please tell me you aint referring to the coming togethers in the heat in question. Nicki was racing what Gollob done was a pure disgrace.
