21st century heathen 220 Posted July 14, 2008 The viking team.... Any way i was very close to not be able to come to coventry monday... Sorry to hear about that, but great that it will all be sorted out. You may have to wait a little while but that's better than the alternative. Good that's another young talented rider to watch in action tonight , now all we need is for Tai Woffinden to replace Oliver Allen and we'll be sorted . Erm that is me getting behind the boys . Tai Woffinden is an exceptional talent and i would have him in the side ahead of Allen . So what's wrong with Olly being ahead of Tai in the pecking order? It's marginal, I admit, but he has a higher average than Simon around Brandon this season. In fact his home average is second only to Chris Harris. Perhaps he will have a poor meeting, but he deserves his chance ahead of a 17 year old lad who hasn't even ridden full time EL yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted July 14, 2008 With a bit of passion! I'll support them with the same amount of passion as they put into singing the National Anthem of the country they are representing. Is that a fair deal Come on the Danes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemmilou 0 Posted July 14, 2008 It looks as if there'll be a change in the Czech Republic team for tonight, with Filip Sitera replacing Lukas Dryml: http://www.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel/2008/07/...juz-w-coventry/ Has anyone see this confirmed anywhere else, i can't find this anywhere else apart from on this polish site and just wanted to be sure before i set off?

I've noticed the same. The Polish, Aussies, Danes, Swedes all sing along to their national anthems with pride. At Cardiff - All the Brits just stand there like dummies when our anthem is played. ("God Save The Queen" that is, not that Welsh thing). It's the same in most sports, as though the Brits are embarrased to be British. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why do british people seem intent on supporting other nations? I'm a fan of all seedway, but surely you support your home nation. Rant over.

D.I.G. 0 Posted July 14, 2008 Good point. I've noticed the same. The Polish, Aussies, Danes, Swedes all sing along to their national anthems with pride.

It's the same in most sports, as though the Brits are embarrased to be British. "God Save The queen " is a dirge and should be replaced, with something more inspirational. I have been told that as we ride as Team GB and not England, we have to put up with it. Why we are Team GB when there are no other riders of either Scots, Welsh or Northern Irish , as far as I am aware, in the side I dont know, perhaps one of our more informed fans could explain , as it used to be that we rode as England. I feel sure Scotland could put a team together that would beat Italy or Hungary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulco 7,153 Posted July 14, 2008 So what's wrong with Olly being ahead of Tai in the pecking order? It's marginal, I admit, but he has a higher average than Simon around Brandon this season. In fact his home average is second only to Chris Harris. Perhaps he will have a poor meeting, but he deserves his chance ahead of a 17 year old lad who hasn't even ridden full time EL yet. I just feel , very strongly , that Tai Woffinden is the future of British speedway - much as Chris Holder is the future for the Australians . The Aussies weren't shy in blooding Holder early , so why the reluctance with Tai . Allen is a decent enough journeyman second string , and i suppose the more home riders on view will help the crowd level . But Woffinden is going to be World class and the experience gained now will stand him in good stead . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
