shazzybird 10 Posted October 25, 2005 Think I must be missing something here, if Hans or any other rider for that fact (yes including my hero) was good enough for the GP's then surely they would qualify without have to be given a wildcard entry. If they have the top 8 already why not have a meeting to determine the wildcards sort of a "Best of the Rest" instead of picking out the hat which they seem to have done here, if they don't qualify then that's just tough.

London Witch 57 Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) Bring back a different version of the GP challenge, run it mid to late September after the series has finished, include the 8 non qualifiers and choose 8 wild cards for this meeting on merit. Or is that too sensible! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Think I must be missing something here If they have the top 8 already why not have a meeting to determine the wildcards sort of a "Best of the Rest" instead of picking out the hat which they seem to have done here, if they don't qualify then that's just tough. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Err..ain't that what I said?

DanTheMan 0 Posted October 25, 2005 If you ask me it just proves speedway needs female logic! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> dont be daft, there would be week long meeting discussing what colour bikes the riders are allowed to use, and then a month long meeting discussing all their family issues, where they're going on holiday, who's done what in the soaps etc joke by the way *dan legs it quick and hides in a bomb shelter* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shazzybird 10 Posted October 25, 2005 Dan best you do run check THIS out Hey LW someone listened to us even if it was the Longtrack they liked our idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
London Witch 57 Posted October 25, 2005 So I see, didn't take them long to set the wheels in motion either. Anyway enough of speedway, what do you reckon to Grant and Phil being back in EastEnders, Shazz. Wonder if Dan the Man has an opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shazzybird 10 Posted October 25, 2005 LW don't we need this position (then we'll talk Eastenders when we're in the door afterall I bet thats all they do else the would have acted on our idea wouldn't they?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pirate paul 1 Posted October 25, 2005 yeah cos nobody else does it to get a re-run do they idiot <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Idiot? I hope your not referring to me. If you try re-reading my post before gobbing off in such a childish manner you may realise I am talking about his comments, not his actions. Hans mouth has got him in to bother on more than one occasion. How many times has he sworn when being interviewed during an EL match? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyM 1 Posted October 25, 2005 Think I must be missing something here, if Hans or any other rider for that fact (yes including my hero) was good enough for the GP's then surely they would qualify without have to be given a wildcard entry. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How would they qualify? There's apparently no qualification mechanism other than arcane selection in a closed room, presumably by Ole and his BSI cronies! If they have the top 8 already why not have a meeting to determine the wildcards sort of a "Best of the Rest" instead of picking out the hat which they seem to have done here, if they don't qualify then that's just tough. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They've specifically rejected anything like the GP Challenge. And it's not picking out of a hat - it's selection to criteria known only to those who do the selecting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lanzilla 0 Posted October 25, 2005 Tough luck on Andersen and the best reply for him would be to step up a further gear next season in the Elite League and show Benfield what they've missed out on. Hans is an entertaining rider, and imo, he should be in ahead of Iversen who is not in the same class. Overall I do like the balance of the GP Series, and there is a selection of fine riders involved that will further help BSI sell the series around Europe.

pirate paul 1 Posted October 25, 2005 BSI couldn't sell water to the Arabs. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What a ridiculous comment. Did you go to Cardiff this year? No? Well perhaps 40000+ people would disagree with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subedei 0 Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) What a ridiculous comment. Did you go to Cardiff this year? No? Well perhaps 40000+ people would disagree with you. And 90,000 went to world finals at Wembley. Mighty impressive to get 40,000 people into an 80,000 seater stadium. Personally, I wouldn't walk to the end of my garden to watch anything tainted with BSI involvement. Edited October 25, 2005 by Subedei Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
