There was severe abuse being shouted at the Danes from main stand by pits, much of it by women I sadly have to report, after the Andersen/Harris incident, in which I am not convinced Andersen did anything wrong other than try and win a race. And be honest none of them would have complained one iota if Pedersen and Andersen had been wearing GB race jackets and acting in exactly the same way. I suspect many of the perpetrators were not regular speedway fans, who probably think this is the norm, luckily it is extremely unlikely we'll being seeing them on any Monday night at Smallmead in the near future. Walking out I overheard a woman talking to her husband bemoaning the fact that she had been verbally abused for clapping a Danish heat winner. Unbelievable

Looking at the league table, that'll be two things then

Agree 100% Ruckeroo, I was pretty much in front of the riders as they approached the bend and Hans was clearly leading, but I never expected any other decision than the referee would exclude him, the crowd would have gone mental otherwise. I was absolutely anti towards Andersen at the start of the season, mainly on his performance in SWC at Poole, but really like him as a rider now, as to losing his temper then whilst not defending him it was perhaps understandable as it looked like giving the Aussies the initiative in the meeting, although in hindsight probably avoided Crump taking a 6 point ride in heat 20. Denmark were the best team on the night and Andersen and Crump looked a class above, shame Crumpy came off on last bend, he didn't deserve to finish off the rostrum.
