    I was wondering if it's time that FIM/GPs started to speculate in regards to national media coverage for instance could they pay TalkSport a sum to guarantee the results are mentioned over the weekend and monday mornings?

     

    Surely, with some national coverage such as this they would be able to recoup it with a few new sponsors? Perhaps the results segment could be sponsored to help pay for this.

    'WOLFY WINS and the union jacks are up! The pommies are going mad!' - I was cracking up!

     

    Really enjoyed the commentary and not an (English) cliché in sight!

     

    Edit: F*ck me some people are never happy - you all finally got rid of Pearson and you're still moaning - AT LEAST IT WAS ON TELLY! Get real.

    Did anyone see AJ as top points scorer after 20 heats? I didn't! He's a curse that man! Everytime I bet on him he flunks and vice versa!

     

    YOU'RE AN ENIGMA AJ!

     

    Was going great guns until Holder knocked out Sayfutdinov and Lindgren on countback Grrrr... still - had £5 e/w on Hampel for the meeting (real money) so happy as larry!

     

    Does anyone think we should have a seperate discussion thread for this game? I'm happy to start it if so...

    Why are you so aggressive? I've read his idea the same as you have. If his information gives me "absolutely no idea" then it's the same information that you're getting orgasmic about when you also have absolutely no idea either.

     

    The guy asked for opinions on whether he'd be able to sell his Top Trumps style Speedway cigarette card game to Speedway fans.

     

    Being a Speedway fan, I'm quite qualified to give an opinion.

     

    And my opinion is that someone would have to be barking mad to buy 100 bits of printed card for £18. But maybe you'd buy it.

     

    To be fair you're way off the mark, MCS approached me to stock the game in Speedwaystore, the game is far more than 'top trumps' and looks like it's had a lot of time spent on it.

     

    You have the right to an opinion of course but there's no need to belittle the product.

    It's alright slagging off the BSPA/SCB but what if next year the UK Speedway Series decides to run every Friday? Then the year after decided to run twice a week? Then it realises, hang on, we could set up our own league? The SCB have to stop it now.

     

    If they grow their promotions that quickly they'll be doing something very right considering the state of the ahem - sport in this country.

    you....mirror...now.... :D

     

    In truth I would have been calling for Nikki's head had that been in reverse, I've watched him try to put so many people in the fence this GP series, get away with it calling it 'hard racing' and yet whinge when someone had the audacity to give him some back. For once, his antics went against him and it happened to be against the guy he was competing for the World title with... better luck next time Nikki.

    Nicki made a better start then Holder and Holder couldn't accept and and striked Nicki, CH wasn't particular much in control either.

    You know when someone outgates you, you have to accept that and don't try to ride through them.

     

    NP outgated Holder so Nicki was fully entitled to take the inside line. Why should he, who did the better gate, move aisde and let CH past?

     

    Isn't Nikki always the one moaning about being given room to race when he goes down? He gated Holder but then got greedy and tried to take his track - if he'd given him just a little more room Holder would've had no excuses...

    Wow...I wouldnt have wanted to call that! He got it wrong in my opinion, rules are rules and quite simply he didnt stick to them!

     

     

     

    He got to the corner infront and trapped him, its the ideal move in speedway to put your bike infront of the the other guys bike!

     

    Fair enough but then if there's bunching/contact and someone goes down you take a risk that it'll be all four back - specially so early in the race.
