Read what went off, and what is the problem, Scott said he wanted to ride, Rob Lyon tells him not good idea.

Fair question - who IS Rob Lyon? How has he ever contributed to speedway?

Never heard of King's Lynn?

Did Rob phone Carl Wilkinson and tell him he was not using him in the World Cup? what about every other Brit riding in the EL? Or the PL? Why stop there, did he phone all eligible riders in the NL too?

 

I love the quote, "Nicholls, who in fairness to him has spent the last six years practically holding together a pretty ordinary and at times poorly organised Team GB side, rightly feels aggrieved." I assume that was sarcasm? 4 wasn't it last year at Coventry that he managed to score? Only better than Simon Stead.

Probably not - but were they in the named squad earlier in the season??

Comments like that is why he wasn't & shouldn't be included in the squad. No fighting spirit & slagging off the GB manager because he hasn't got what he wants.

 

The guy is a big baby

The 2nd para isn't a quote from Nicholls - so you cant read. It was written by the journalist.

 

As for Carl Wilkinson, that is stupid to use him as an example of lack of contact. Scott Nicholls was made captain of his country by Rob Lyon but was then dropped because of poor form. That's fine and may have been the right call but he's the best we have got (proven over the last few years) so perhaps he deserved either an invite to be in the pits (might have stopped the where is Scotty, he's letting his country down threads as now we know he wasn't asked) or an explanation why he wasn't selected.

 

At worst a phone call to your ex captain is courteous

 

The simple truth is that had Nicholls ridden at Leszno, probably in place of King or Bridger, we would have been in the final. Then Rob Lyon would have been a tactical genius.

Lyon has about as much class as his mates the Chumpmans.

Your post is far too sensible for the forum in these present times.

You can't read. At no point has SCB said Nicholls made the comment.

Ouch - that really is harsh.

Someone said it, I quoted it, it's a quote.

 

Rob didnt use Scott in the first leg, what made Scott think he was planing to use him later?

 

The best we have, proven over the last few years is Lee Richardson.

[Haza 1,774]

The best thing Rob did was leaving Nicholls out of the team at Pboro and Leszno seems strange to me that he cant even be in the pits at Pboro to help the boys out and then expects to ride at Leszno thats how much he wanted to be part of the set up . Even though Lee Richardson didnt ride at Pboro he still played a big part in the pits .Where was Nicholls ? watching at home on tv ? great comitment

No one said it, it was written by a scribe. Therefore (look in the dictionary for a definition) it's not a QUOTE.

 

 

What was Richardson's best placing in a GP series in relation to Scott's placings.

 

What is Rico's best placing in a GB Championship. Has he won one of those yet & how many has Scott Nicholls won ?

 

I have nothing against Rico as he is a top rider, done super for GB and all clubs.
