I don’t, serve them right for paying lots of money to watch that rubbish! Its the same every year!

Sadly that’s very true although fair play to him, he did well.

Well this utterly embarrassing FARCE of a non event must be the low point EVER of the GP series!! Unrideable track, not ONE lead pass and only about two passes for any other place, in 22 races. The “happy clappy” muppets there really have had their moneys worth!! LOL The whole evening has been exactly as I predicted it would be and nearly always is at this joke of a venue! Will the dopey lot in charge ever learn and actually have this meeting in future years and other rubbish GP’s on temporary tracks in other countries, at the best venue for actual RACING rather than just worrying about fitting in as many deluded happy clappers as possible!!? Utter low point in GP history tonight, it’s laughably bad! The only surprise tonight has been that Ellis took a dive in his first race to save him anymore embarrassment!!…I thought he would have tried for three races at least.

And that’s 4 more points than Ellis will get this year!!!

Exactly, would have been great to see him get one final chance in a GP, especially as this year we might not have heard “……and Harris at the back again” from Kelvin every race, such has been his form this year!

Come on for goodness sake, let the poor buggers in the crowd go home and just announce the meeting is over! You’ve had an extra half a hour’s worth of pints and hot dog sales since the last race, so just put everyone out of their misery!

Spot on, the parade should have been cancelled at the start and the first race should have started at 7.15 at the latest. Then the riders should have been put on 30 secs for each race so they didn’t bugger about for a minute at the gates but instead just got on with starting each race. So many ways a little bit of common sense and a sense of urgency from the organisers and yes the TV lot too, could have sped things up so they could have got to at least heat 20. BUT it’s always the same, never any sense of urgency, lets drag the meeting out so more money will be spent on food and drink etc!!

Think they need to put Bewley on 15 yard starts to make it ANY kind of contest for the title tonight!! It’s a shame because without him it would have had the potential to be a really good fight for the title tonight.

Another tedious night of racing (which I guess when four riders basically just follow each other all night , you CAN just call racing!!) only saved from complete boredom by the closeness of most of the teams. If speedway is to have a good long term future then those in charge have got to tear up the current way of thinking and stop sharing GP’s, World Cips etc around various tracks and Countries just to please everyone! They need to have them at the BEST tracks that produce actual EXCITING and passing speedway! If that means the same few tracks/Countries get them all the time, then TOUGH! Unless you are a die hard ‘happy clappy’ speedway fan people will get fed up with the rubbish we have seen (passing wise) in virtually every GP this season and big meetings like tonight. They should start by having the British GP at a proper, exciting track (Belle Vue, which after all is supposed to the “National speedway stadium”! Instead of at that tinpot temporary track Millenium Stadium Borefest!

Another dreadful GP all down to the track AGAIN!!...Slightly more chance of passing that that utter embarrassment in Prague but the track was a disgrace!. Stuff this practice of sharing the GP's all around the World, this is supposed to be the pinnacle of a so called "professional" (sic) sport, yet so many rounds are ruined by disgraceful tracks. Give ALL the rounds to the best tracks, even if that means some tracks getting more than one round a year. This is supposed to be speedway RACING, not speedway "GATING" (last week) and speedway "HANGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE" (last night). Another embarrassing night for the sport.

We do live in hope that the law of averages SHOULD dictate that you’d get one or two good races out of 23 even on this embarrassing disgrace of a track. But we were wrong as that was the worse GP of all time. The happy clappy crowd at the track may as well been zombies as they all seemed happy enough to witness that shambles! Perhaps the tickets were given away this year for free as I can’t think of any other way they would have been (apparently) happy with what they were witnessing! Prague should never ever be given a GP round again, but we all know they will be.

Without any shadow of doubt this utter FARCE is the worse GP of all time……20 heats and not ONE lead change! Absolute RUBBISH!!

Absolutely spot on!!…..Just cos half of the shouty twins (was the other one even at Peterborough or is he at the darts?) wouldn’t have been at Sheffield to commentate, like you say, one camera coverage with the more than competent Dave Rowe commentating would still have been good and better than nothing! They big up the play offs all season, yet can’t be arsed to cover them when they finally arrive!! And people wonder why speedway is regarded as a joke these days!

OK if its just down to that................

I maybe late to the party but is there any obvious reason why last night's S-F had most of the stronger (I wont say strong because the quality of the riders in virtually all the teams is dire!) Countries in it whereas tonight's line up is an utter embarrassment to the sport?

The only good thing about another utterly rubbish “no passing” GP was seeing Freddie walk off the track after his horrendous crash.

Wow!!….so that makes ohh, Four maybe ever five, lead passes out of 23 races then!!….Some people are easily pleased, the track was rubbish, even “make sure everything sounds brilliant” Tatum, said numerous times how hard it is to pass on this track. Thank goodness for Bartosz who can pass on any track, if needed! Head and shoulders above EVERYONE.

“COMPOST CORNER!!”

I was too until I saw that the shouty twins have once again jumped ship from yet another broadcaster and will continue to ruin the coverage with their inaccuracies, monkey noises and mistakes:(

"ONE OF...."?!!!!... There's never been anything even remotely as embarrassingly weak as this!

That's because he is so full of himself and his own importance! Always has been. Ridiculous that someone who has won as few actual races as he has this year, finishes second in the championship! Just another example of how ridiculous the new scoring system is. Well done Bartosz, truly deserved winner of the GP series, head and shoulders above anyone else at the moment.

Have YOU ever thought of actually reading my original post too where I said “How can someone who doesn't win a race ALL NIGHT end up with 18 points?!!!” it was someone else who said that theoretically someone could be World Champion without winning a race and I just agreed that yes, that could happy in theory. We all know it won’t in practice. My beef is that the new system is totally unfair, and that riders shouldn’t end the night with less or significantly more then they have earnt through the racing. So before you try being all big and clever again why don’t YOU actually a) read my posts and b) try to tell me how a system which means riders can go away with vastly different totals of points to what they have earned in 6 or 7 rides on the night is not a lot worse than the previous one used or fairer? EVERY point a rider scores should matter and no one should end up with less than they have earned during their rides. And as for you analogy!!.What on earth is that all about? “In the final itself there are 120 points and a rider can finish with 10 points”....NO WINNER of any GP has ever done it scoring only 10 points on the night!!...You’re in utter cloud cuckoo land!! Even if they scraped through to the semis with 7 points from their 5 heats, to actually WIN the GP they would then need to get another 5 points minimum so the lowest they could ever actually won a GP with was 12 points on the night!! And that’s what they would take to the next round.......and it was FAIR.

Oh look, a hero alert!!!....Did I say that it was a perfect system in the past?.....but it was certainly a lot fairer and more professional than one where someone can win 6 races (18 points) on the night and end up going home with 14 whilst someone can score 12 points and go home with 18 or even 20!!! Don’t see how even a super fan like you can possibly argue that that is fair or a better system than has been used for many years prior to this one!!!! Come on then PROVE that!!!

That’s exactly what I’m getting at....it’s a complete embarrassment of a system and totally tinpot and amateurish, not to mention, unfair!!!

What another complete and utter load of rubbish Czech GP (as per virtually EVERY year) and also another example of the utterly disgraceful and farcical scoring system!, How can someone who doesn't win a race ALL NIGHT end up with 18 points?!!! Making an utter mockery of a once great and professional sport!!
