Could anyone cut & paste the odds for Saturday for me please. My work wont let me look at betting websites Thanks a lot, Tex

Thank you all for your help. Hope you all make some dosh!

I have to say, I think the Brits were a massive let down. As previously mentioned here, look at the riders who won heats, Bjerre, Iversen, Sullivan & Watt - are we really saying we have no rider on a par with them. At least one that can win a heat? And the GB manager coming on TV & saying that our equipment is not up to scratch is a joke. They have ridden the track before, they were at the race off on Thursday, there is NO excuse for poor preperation. 1 point from the first 5 rides was a total embarassment. & then Middlo comes on TV and says well at least Olly will get a run out so that'll be nice.. This is not a testimonial/benifit meeting, it's the World Cup. What sort of response did he want from the GB fans with that comment? Our preperation, performance, everything was unacceptable. And as my previous posts will show, I'm a big supporter of Scotty, Bomber & team GB. Im just p1ssed off with us coming up with excuses time after time. Tex

I think Middlo needs to go. He seems to be mates with the riders rather than their boss. There's been a few different things over the years that has led me to believe he's no longer the man for the job.

If I wasn't on holiday I would have been there. A big meeting at Coventry is LONG overdue.

oki cheers Sandie

Seems a bit odd that neither are riding.. Or Ronnie Correy.

Big slice of humble pie for me.. Wanted the guy to do well but thought he would be out of his depth.. I'll stand facing the wall with the Dunce hat on for the rest of the afternoon.

My suggestion would be to find a fairly quiet pub & then ask if they'll put it on for you..

Apologies if this has already been discussed on here, but was just wondering where the data came from with regards to crowd sizes.. It's been mentioned a few times that the 2002 crowd was the biggest so far, however last year they kept on saying how it was the biggest crowd at a speedway meeting for 25 years...

Is it just me, or does it seem the 2nd qulifier is a fair bit easier than the first?

Well he certainly needs to change something cos he's not up too speed at the moment.

There definately seems to be a missing link with Scotty somewhere... I dont agree he is just not good enough. We've all seen him on his day, he can beat anyone. All the pundits, fellow riders all say he is good enough. He seems to have the finaial backing these days, but it's just not working for him and it's seems there is no obvious reason. He should be pushing the top 5 at least by now. Maybe he needs a few more experts in his pit crew & a few less mates/family members..

I have to say I love the GP series. Think without it Speedway would be in serious trouble, as it has given it some much needed exposure. However I believe it should have stayed at 10 rounds max. The last 2 years we've had the world title already won with a round or 2 to go & that is not ideal. If anything IMG should go back to what BSI were trying to do a few years ago & try & get every GP round into top class stadiums. Maybe only have a 1 round in Sweden/Poland & sacrafice places like Latvia if you want GP's in USA, Far East, Oz...

Didnt Billy comment on how much he enjoyed riding in the competiton last year tho?

Steady's got to be given the wild card surely.. Carrying a very poor team on his own at the moment & he's only 24, not exactly a Vet is he...

Cool, tks to you all for helping to clear it up or me. Think I will try my luck at William Hill anyway!! I suppose even tho I dont agree with the fact that the top scorer might not get to stand on the top of the rostrum, it does at least keep the final special in some way...

So there I am happy that my each way bet for Hancock has come in - then he doesnt come out and stand on the podium... The big screen simply says 1) pedersen 2) andersan 3) harris 4) crump... So will I get paid up or officially did andersan come 2nd in the meeting? If Nikki had come 2nd in the final but won the meeting who would have been top of the rostrum??? It's the fairest way to have the points system but trying to tell someone who is new to it all is not the easiest!!

Sorry for the latness of the reply but I've only just read this... The Hackney track was superior to the Cardif track? Are you sure you ever went to hackney when it re opened? It was a poor mans Arena Essex! Awful comment I'm afraid..

He just isn't dominatin races in the GP like he was last seaon.. It it man or machine?

You see how do you explain that to someone new to it all? The fella with 13 points finished above the fella with 15 points..

I was there on Saturday right on the 1st bend & even Chris' gating was pretty good. Also he overtook B Ped & AJ and generally was looking fast. However, Scotty, Bjane, Lindback & Holta all massive disappointments. Even the Wild Card looked like he had more Horsepower!
