Starman2006

That would probably figure, he then needs to sort himself and his equipment out. As i said he has the abillity to be a top 6 rider, but end of the day its down to him to sort things out, from top to bottom!!.

No disrespect To Scott or any other rider, but as somebody pointed it out, a lot of the older riders are now coming towards the end of their careers, Scott is still only 31, he has imo 5 more years at the top. Of the remainder of the field, Scott is vastly more experienced. IMO he's just got to continue what he was doing last season, in the past he's been rather a soft touch, he's become more aggressive on the bike, he needs to focus on his starts. he needs to use his head in certain situations, remembering, he has four laps, he hasn't got to do it all on lap 1, he's more than capable of winning races from the back, he is a natural motorcyclist!. His aim imo should be to make the final in every GP, if he doesn't then just amas as many points as he can, then move on!. I don't agree with him leaving the EL out, but on the flip side i can see his point!. As for Kelvin Tatum being in his corner, if thats what Scott wants fine. But i feel personally he'd be far better off having Neil Middleditch in his corner!. Scotts got the abillity, Neil is a very good motivator!!.

See my post Re Scott Nicholls, in 2009 Speedway GP, who will win!!.

Now that would be a real fitting climax to the GP series!. Although i still feel that if any man deserves to win a world championship its Leigh Adams. And i still feel that Scott Nicholls CAN finish in the top 6!!. Some of his performances and form last season was very good, he's just got to believe in himself, continue to show controlled agression in his races, and remember, there's four laps to a race, he hasn't got to do it all in the first lap, he's more than capable of winning races from the back!!. Although in the back of my mind, there.s a man called Pedersen, who will still take a hell of a lot of Shifting!!.

Im pleased you put those smilies in re the question about the frozen pipes, because i would have taken it quite seriously if you had not!. The pipes were frozen and no water could have been put on the track otherwise you would have seen ice Speedway, and we had no avaliable chains nor spiked tyres!!. The dust couldn't be helped, at least we got a meeting, and a very good one at that!. Proves one thing, you don't need TOP class riders to produce a exciting and close racing meeting!!. Our promotion must take the credit here for putting on the meeting in memory of Tim Stone, given this time of year so many things could have gone wrong for the meeting not to go ahead!. I must also mention all the track staff who did a superb job in getting the track and airfences sorted in difficult conditions!!. Well Done to All the riders for taking part in this meeting, when they could have been sat at home by the fire!. Well done Ben Barker, and unlucky Adam!.

The forcast for tomorrow is very cold at first then warming to a mind blowing 5 Degrees, but going to be very nice!. Get yourselves down to sunny Dorset for a Winter wiff of Methanol and some Speedway!!. Should be a good meeting!.

I bet you didn't know we all walked round the Stadium in Black toppers and Black cloaks did you. Nobody is pinching Robbing stealing Hi jacking alf inching Grave Robbing this Event. Matt just holds the Licence for 2009!.

If they all stand there ground its a very good line up for the time of year!. Wheres all the mockers and moaners now!!!. As Steve said, almost imposible to pick the winner, any 1 of 6-7 riders could win this!!.

I'd say it will affect the attendance by 1 person, St Rob!!. Then again, he'll roll out of the Dell, sorry St Mercys muttering and mumbling something like wish i'd gone to speedway now! as Man Utd put 5 past them!.

Dodgy, have you watched them then mate?. Come on Seb, i respect you a lot more than to say Dodgy about two riders you've probably not seen!!.

Ah, somebody with a bit of sence at last!!. I still can't believe after the success of the 2004 World cup at Poole we haven't had a round since!!.

Why doesn't everybody just give Jim a chance. He's been thrown in the deepend, but now im sure he will have a good look at things and take stock!. The way forward is to give the kids a chance, but you still need that bit of experience thrown in. I also agree on another thread what Bob Dugard allegedly said,we should run the World Cup every two years, and just run a couple of test meetings to give and bring the kids on!. I said quite a while ago the future of British speedway looked quite rosie, with some of the kids on the upgrade. But these kids now need to prove they can step up to the mark and prove they have what it takes!. Neil did his best with the riders that he had at his Disposal and was unlucky not to win a World Cup, Now its time to give Jim the backing and let him start looking to the future!. We also need to have money put back in to Briitsh speedway, wheres we have regular training and practice facillitys, the Poles and Sweds and Danes can do it, why can't we!!. The Academy League works well, but it mustn't stop there!.

Ah but stand corrected, in your earlier post you praised Tai for his efforts tonight. Yes your spot on, as i said, you couldn't ask for more from him!!. Must be a first for you this season, to praise somebody, must write that in my Diary!!. Laguta did look quite impressive towards the end of the Meeting though, do you agree with that!!.

You never seem to post anything positive about Speedway, Subedei, i really do wonder if you are a speedway fan at all!. If its not Neil its Jim Lynch, If its not Jim its Scott Nicholls, if its not Scott its Team GB, If its not Team GB its uncle Tom Cobbly!. Jim had no choice but to play the Joker, albeit that Scott was coming off Gate one, which tonight round Vojans was about as good as it is round Poole!!. Personally, i thought it was a far better team performance than it was on Monday, and you can certainly not ask anymore from Tai!!. Now its time to give the Kids ago, ie Tai Eddie Danny King,but we need to keep that bit of experience in the team as a steadying influence!!. But i bet you don't agree with that either!.

Think i'll go and lay down in a dark room, i give up!. Hello, what do we have to say to convince you that this country is short of TOP class riders!!,. If you can't see that then you really ought to take a trip down to specsavers!!.

It wouldn't matter if you brought in uncle Tom Cobbly. We are still short of top class riders. You can't wave a magic wand and just produce them, as i said Neil and Jim can/could only work with the riders at their disposal. Thats why i wouldn't dream of slating Jim Lynch, he knows what he's up against!. Yes, you might argue that Neil during his reine had a few more riders at his disposal, but then so did Sweden Denmark Poland and transilvainia!.

No excusses, just valid points. We are now having to go through a process of rebuild, and its not going to take 5 minutes. Again, if you look beyond the top 3 riders we are struggling for riders who are proven on the big stage!. The likes of Eddie Tai and Danny King have the potential, but even they have a way to go before they become fully fledged Team GB internationals. But you still also need that bit of experience to give the kids that guiding hand!.

Nothing to do with Neil then, it was down to pure bad luck, several factors cost us the World Cup at Poole. If you watch the meeting again you will see!. The Red light Nikki Pedersen the list goes on!. And to cap it all we had Gate one in heat 25, oh, and there was Someone called Hans Andersen!!.

So where are you all now, all the Neil Middlditch Bashers, who said Neil can't do this, Neil can't do that Neil can't pick his nose!. Im not going to slate Jim Lynch, it PROVES what a very hard job he has, with once again for the grillion time with the limited amount of TOP class riders we have at our disposal. Every year, people on this forum pulled Neil to pieces at every opportunity!. Yes ok, we've lost Mark Havvy Floppy Joe screen,etc but half of them had gone during Neils reine, we have lads like Eddie Kennett Tai woffenden Danny King,etc but after that who else have we got?. Again we are very short on TOP class riders.They said the track was slick tonight, phoey, its the same for ALL the teams!. To my mind there wasno interest no comitment no team spirt no atmosphere either in the pits nor on the Terraces!. just goes to show what a good job Neil did during his time as Team GB manager!!. Its about time it came back to Poole, at least there will be a bit of Atmosphere there, might just do the riders good as well!!.

Blimey your keen!!. There are loads, but you will need to get in now, otherwise if you leave it you will pay through the nose!. Im sure a few people on here could help you, but on the other hand they may want first serving of the pie!!. Try looking on a street map of Cardiff, then look in the Directory and go from there!!.

Like your write up Najjar, very good!. Ive always said even since your Conference League days, the club has massive potential, but either by intention or mistake you have a very good race track, of which produces very good racing!. Talking to your main Team sponsor after the meeting by phone and he said both Doyley and Emil gave it everything that could have been asked of them, and more!. Unlucky Doyley And Emil!.

There was 7,500 for the World Cup final at Poole Rob, your facts are wrong again, the same as your facts are wrong about Harry, me thinks sour grapes, springs to mind!!.

Just goes to show how popular our club is, doesn't it!!.

Well said Rabs. Both you i and Steve Shovlar would do the same thing Its good Business sence!!.
