Reviresco 708 Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) BSI knew what they were doing, a massive crowd to cheer a banker home win, 95% of people who know speedway knew the result before the start! Sadly in doing so they killed speedway!!!!!!!!!!!! I for one will not attend another meeting that BSI make money from, well done 44 years of dedication to the sport down the pan!!!!!!!!!!!! That's sad Suggs. I lost the faith during the 80's for a number of reasons, but came back and found a new interest due to TG's ability on a speedway bike - not just at Byd. As I said, I don't think TG should be blamed for the German fiasco. It didn't look a banker home win after TG's first heat and he didn't win the Polish GP there earlier in the year, so imo it was not a foregone conclusion, paticularly with the pressure that was on him. It was good to see that making 3rd in the championship meant more than the money, and well done to Hans Andersen for congratulating TG on track for his GP win.

Blazeaway 1,501 Posted October 18, 2008 I also wonder whether Nicki was really fit last week after some of the comments made by commentary, but then again it was Pearson and Tatum! Another week suited him just fine. Have you ever heard a more biased pair of t*****s? Tatum almost in tears when the Ginger one finished last. How do they get away with it? P****s.

Sadly in doing so they killed speedway!!!!!!!!!!!! I for one will not attend another meeting that BSI make money from, well done 44 years of dedication to the sport down the pan!!!!!!!!!!!! they hardly killed speedway did they ? and just out of interest how many bsi/img meeting would you say you normally attend each year ? apologise for the sarcasm here, but if you're saying that because of this, 44 years of dedication has gone out of the window, then i think you probably need a break from speedway for a while anyway..

Old Saint 3 Posted October 18, 2008 I enjoyed the meeting but was left with the impression that there was a lot more going on than was immediately apparent. Wonder what was behind Greg Hancock's comment that "there was a lot going on behind the scenes" so he would wait and see what happens about next year?

Don't blame Gollob for one minute, blame BSI and Mr Olsen. When was last time anyone saw Greg so depressed?? It was a banker if he didn't win the GP only disaster would see him leave without the money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From PC to KC. 25 Posted October 18, 2008 ABSOLUTELY 100% SPOT ON. Come on then admit it how much did you have on Hancock to finish 3rd. Any gp on a superior track such as this is welcome in my book, compared to the novelty farce,s we get on the temporary ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blazeaway 1,501 Posted October 18, 2008 Maybe not to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Certainly not to me, that whole fake American cheesy grin and that god awful drink. Se ya! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder what was behind Greg Hancock's comment that "there was a lot going on behind the scenes" so he would wait and see what happens about next year? Swedish commentator Peter Nahlin said that it could be the deal with a possible Australian Gp and that many riders considered it to expensive to go there to ride and that may not be worth it for them.
