Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Official attendance was about 16'000. https://mobile.twitter.com/BjornOldeen/status/515961735237603328 however i don't think it was that many. Looked more like around 10K to me. Decent GP. Ok performance from the Swedes but Lindgren doesnt have "it" when it matters. THJ was ok, just missed out on the semis but was able score points despite being last from the gate.yo Edited September 27, 2014 by Ghostwalker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,143 Posted September 27, 2014 Job mostly done now by Greg. His world title to lose. Just steady rides and keep out of trouble, and I'm sure he can do that. Hampel rode really well, first 21 point max this year I think, thats some good riding. What a switch around from most of his performances this year. I fhe dont finish in top 8 now, surely he gets a wold card. Now if only some certain other English rider could pull something out of the bag, but he didnt...... again. KK blew it, nerves must have got at him. He had a great chance to do something big tonight and missed out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spanner47 336 Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Just like to mention how much we enjoyed the whole experience at the Friends Arena. Me and the missus rarely travel to GP's these days, we just got hacked off with being treated so badly. In Prague my wife had an expensive small umbrella stolen by some uniformed thug, when we got into the stadium all those in the expensive seats were allowed huge umbrella's. Then on entering the Parken an old Lady in front of us had two sandwiches confiscated from her handbag. But tonight, no bag searches, sit where you like if the seat was empty, and there was even a small section of terracing for those that wanted to stand. And the best bit, you could go outside for a fag, not many stadium's let you do that. As for the meeting, I probably enjoyed it more than some. Being an Ipswich fan it was great to see Jarek back on top, and i also backed Greg to win the Championship this year, so no complaints here!

spencebel 181 Posted September 27, 2014 Greg's to lose now. Was it Tai's bikes or is his injury still troubling him... Don't like to see him at the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At between 10-15,000 there must be some concern whether this GP is sustainable . Edited September 28, 2014 by New Science Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,375 Posted September 28, 2014 Chris Harris redeemed his reputation in heat 17 by keeping the defending world champion Tai Woffinden in last place.That's good enough for the fan club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinny 2,536 Posted September 28, 2014 Happy that AJ is finding some form in the gps - always been a favorite of mine. On his day one of the most exciting riders in the world. Hope he does enough for a place next season. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

severnsider 197 Posted September 28, 2014 Wonder what you were watching as in first 8 heats you had Holder & AJ in heat 3, AJ & Nicki heat 5 & KK and Holder passing Harris heat 8. Also NIcki passed twice in heat 13 amongst other passes. Maybe just missed on TV footage 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arson fire 4,785 Posted September 28, 2014 Was a poor GP for me, with so many of the races and racers being from the gaters these days... World champs decided on who can gate best. Thought wed seen the back of that when Nielsen retired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
