  1. Sometimes he gets things wrong for not being there but saying Oh and rider X has justed passed Rider A when we can all see it's rider Y passing rider A, Millard has no excuses then. He's done quite well tonight though on the Swindon vs Peterborough meeting.

    Japanese Autorace

    Actually, it's american flat track they show. It usually on men and motors so kepe an eye out, worth watching. They showed a programme about the making of On any Sunday a few weeks back and had interviews with Ivan Mauger (I think). They also had ice speedway and showed lots of clips of all the other motor cycle disaplines they did not show in the final film. Would you beleive they lost the speedway footage so could not show you much of that!!! Again, it was on Men and Motors, so it's sure to be repeated, keep and eye it it's worth watching. On the Speedway on Men and Motors theme, Ouch! That had to hurt has had a few speedway crashes on there, last time I watched in there top 5 crashes of the season, 2nd place was a speedway crash. I have seen the episode with Frank Smarts Farewell twice now.

    Re-Run heats

    I'm waiting for the day when some rider uses his head to get another chance. In the first semi last night I was screamig at the tele for Puk to lay the bike down on the run upto the line to "avoid" Scott Nicholls and get a re-run as all the riders would not have passed the line. It's only a matter of time before someone falls on the 4th bend and someone lays the bike down to avoid him rather than riding over the line in 4rd. Or am I the only cynical one who would use this loop-hole if ever given a chance? Cheating? Nah, just a loop-hole that I'm sure Matt Ford would use
  4. Surely how hard Pedersen hit Crump is irrelevant, if you look at it another way and say Hancock should have been excluded when he almost wiped out Nicholls?!

    What about Scott then!!

    Oh yeah, I had money on Scott to win, so I was suporting him

    What about Scott then!!

    JT, Neil Street manages to manage ( ) Newport and Australia and be in the pits at all the GP's "pumping up" the Aussies. So why can't Middlo do it? Surely if Neil can get from the GP's to the Uk, it's not that hard for Middlo to do it, is it?
  7. The BSI adverts are always taccy rubbish. The BSI Gp advert was equally nasty. Let Sky make them an advert, there adverts are always good. Whats with the bloody palm tree? Are the taking over speedway? First Swindon and now the SWC, how many palm trees at Arlington and Wimbourne Road? A rough guess, NONE?!
  8. martyb_k11, there is only one person having a go at Greg. Everyone else can see it was clearly a case of Greg being unfortunate and making contact with Scott, in much the same way the Nicki/Crump incident was.
  9. Nicki admitted taking Crumpie off, so I'd say it's highly likely he DID take him off, he just claimed it was not his fault. I don't think it was, it was a rut but Crumpie had done nothing wrong so the ref could hardly exclude Crump who ws riding his line, stuck to it and would have done had Nicki not bene in his way
  10. Well if he did it to stop Greg it was a bit stupid hey? Surely He wanted a re-run at the time as Nicki's World Championship hopes would have bene helped if Jonsson had wo the heat, so he was NOT thinking of himself. I'm not Nicki fan, infact I can't stand him but after hitting the fence at that speed I think he should be commended for even thinking of moving his bike. Shame for Greg Hancock (who was 2nd but come 3rd in the re-run) that the referee was so keen to press the red light button. Also loved Nicki comment when interviewed that eh had no problem with Crump in the incident where he was excluded but he had a problem with the referee. Shame more people have not learnt it the referee that does the excluding, not the fallen rider who normally get the blame. On top of all that, he was brillaint entertainment when he was throwing things and teaching me new words (Danish, of course!!) when he was excluded.
  11. It almost makes up for such a poor season. We just need Wato to get into the GP's now Well done to the young 'uns.
  12. No, Greg was 2nd comming off the 4th bend when he hit a rut and flipped of the back, AGAIN!! That damn rut, it's had him twice now!
  13. He made a mistake, he caught a rut. He should have bene excluded though, why should a rider have to fall for another rider to be excluded?
  14. You know it makes sense!!!
  15. I'm still waiting for, "Neils Iversen, just 5 rides away from next years GP series". It HAS to happen soon. Despite the fact he is actually 7(5 rides, semi and a final).
  16. It was in 3 diffeent placs, the 3 incidents you mention. Nicholls was exiting the 4th bend on the inside. TRick was nearer the apex a bit wider and Pedersen was out mid-track somewhere between the two. If it's a rut it's a long curly one!!!!
  17. Tsunami, it's not so much the move but the reaction to being excluded for it. I'm all for claiming innocence, who wouldn't? But not so aggresively, not when he WAS guilty.
  18. I don't think he did it on purpose this time but boy did he throw his toys when he DEFINATLY made contact. COME ON PUK!
  19. I read somewhere that the top 80cc juniors would be giving demonstration races at the stadium. I assume it was them.

    World Cup

    As a Welshman who will be sat at hoe supporting Team GB, I think the idea of collecting as many ENGLISH flag as possible is great. It's not like anyone wants to use French flags or anything. At the end of the day it's about letting the team know we're supporting them and when they see the English flag they'll know that they're being supported. When I support Newport I wave my Welsh flag, despite the fact we have 2 Danes, 2 Englishmen, an Australian, a Czech, and ONE Welshman but as my team is in Wales I expect my team to know that I'm supporting them. So come on, anyone who is going, get hold of English, Scotish, Welsh or GB flags, who cares, just let the team know you're supporting them and ignore the politically correct brigade. Just remember to call then Team GB and not England!!
  21. Australia has to be Adams, Crump, Sullivan, Sheilds, McGowan. Boyce as back up at Poole, as much as I'd love to see Wato rid ein the SWC (and I guess he does deserve it because of his GP qualifiers(which he and Dave Norris will qualify from, with Puk in 3rd and 1st reserve) I don't think Poole is his type of track but then I don't think it suits Adam Sheilds so he might find Johnston or Boyce stealing his place.

    Advertisment of League racing

    To be fair, the advert is for the tickets for the "real" thing and the GP advert selling tickets was taccy yet Skys GP advert was as it should be. Prehaps BSI should ask Sky Sports to make them a decent advert.
  23. Jarek Hampel is out injured, 1st reserve Jonas Kylamkorpi is o injured (both collar bones I think?!) so Simon, as 2nd reserve gets a chance. Good Luck Simon
  24. How can they let people into the Millennium Stadium and give them a seat for £25 yet charge £40 for a seat at Poole for a Mickey Mouse competition (in comparason with the GP's). Either the perosn who come up with the prices was p1$$ed or they hoped th fans would be when they bought the tickets!!
  25. This is a joke right? What a competition, whats the point of it? Give the nothing countries a chance? Next year we'll have Phil Morris and Tom Brown representing Wales in this farce!
