British Selection For 2007
diamond@heart replied to Gaz W's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I am a big Mark Loram fan and think it would be great to see him back in the GP's but I personally think it should be Nicholls and Bomber. From what I have seen of Bomber on Sky this year he is by far streets ahead of any of the other British riders, with the exception of Nicholls. I think Loram has had his chance and Stead is not yet ready and put him in the GP now may do more damage than good. So for me, Bomber of Nicholls, sorry Loramski. -
2006 World Champion: Jason Crump
diamond@heart replied to -DelBoyRodders-'s topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
He is not my favourite rider but credir where credit is due and well done Crumpy. Fully deserved and was by far the better rider all season. Just wished he had shown this form last year and he may have made it more interesting between him and Rickardsson. Cannot see anyone stopping Crump next year either, sad to say. -
As much as I would like to see Mark back in the GP Series I think it would be a mistake. I think we need to bring the younger Brits along and filling the series with riders such as Loram, as entertainig as he is is not the way forward. I agree that Stead and Harris are probably not ready, but if we are to have 2 Brits in the series next year, then I feel these are our best two hopes at the moment. Richardson is better than both of them but he is too inconsistant and suffers with machinery problems to much. If we keep excluding Steady and Harris from events such as this, when and where are they going to get the experience for them to be at that level. As many people have said, it is OK racing Adams, Crump and Hancock in the league, but the GP is a different kettle of fish and all riders within it up there game in GP's. I agree with SCB in that the GP Series should be the best 16 riders in the world at that particular time and riders should not be in because a country is not represented. As I have said I would love to see Mark back in the series but I don't think it will happen and if Steady and Harris don't qualify themselves, I think we may have one Brit in the 2007 Series.

For me it has to be: Mark Loram Scott Nicholls Lee Richardson David Norris Simon Stead with the selection to be reviewed for the playoff and final if we make it, and it a big if.

British Grand Prix
diamond@heart replied to drakey's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I've ordered mine and have not received them yet. I ordered mine a couple of years ago and a week before the event I had not received them and so had to travel to Cardiff without any tickets and go to the office to collect them which was fine, apart from the fact that when I got to the office they had no record of me and could not connect to the server to verify that I had ordered tickets, I was not happy. They eventually sorted out the technical problems and I got my tickets, but I was panicking for a while. So don;t worry if you do not get your tickets in time, just collect them from the gate, and pray they have sorted out the IT problems. -

Wembley Gp Event
diamond@heart replied to T.N.T.'s topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Totally agree with everyone here that Cardiff should be left alone. The city has everything within a stones throw of the stadium, lots of bars and shops etc. I cannot see us being awarded an additional GP at the moment but you never know and the only time I would think that Wembley would replace Cardiff is when and I say when as it will happen, we reach maximum capacity for the British GP at Cardiff and they have to look elsewhere in order for the stage to grow. For me it is just as easy to get to Cardiff as London as I can fly or drive. I have been to Hackney and I do not know London that well but I can imagine Wembley will be the same as Hackney in that, it is stuck out in the middle of nowhere with nothing around it, so if you arrive early, you have nothing to do for the rest of the day until the event starts, unlike Cardiff, where you can have a good drink and a chat with fellow fans and a bit of shopping for the ladies as well. So Cardiff gets my vote everytime. -
Bjarne Pedersen Wins Danish Championship
diamond@heart replied to Tiddie Woo's topic in International World of Speedway
Great to see ex-Diamonds doing so well. Good on you Bjarne, Kenneth and Nicki. I think the Danes may be worth a flutter on them winning the World Cup this year.
