  3. Racism & Speedway

    in International World of Speedway

    Posted

    Tonight at the Swedish Sport News a part of the programme was spent on what happend to Antonio Lindback during his races in the match between GTŻ Grudziądz - RKM Rybnik. According to Antonio a couple of fans (between 40-60) were doing the Heil Hitler salute, and throwing empy beer bottles at him. As far as I understood Antonio meant the attacks were directed towards him. It is pretty obvious that a HH-salute towards a black speedwayrider is based on racial issues.

     

    The chairman of Grudziadz was diagreeing with Antonio and said that he didnt see any salutes. He accused Antonio for provoking the fans by showing his finger, which Lindback dismissed.

     

    I know there is some right-winged fans amongst the polish footballsfans but is it common also in speedway in Poland? What about England? Does it ever happend that fans are showing any right-winged sympathies?

     

    Oh Dear.

     

    Never nice to hear of this in Speedway.

     

    I believe a similar incident occured when Antonio rode for Poole. What I mean is he was the subject of some racist abuse but I believe it was soon stamped out.

     

    I think a Poole supporter who was actually there would be better giving their version of events.

     

    Not nice to see in any walk of life.

    Yes the footage was crystal clear. Will be saving that one on the box to compare to the other GP's that are just being upscaled to HD rather than being filmed/transmitted in true HD.

     

    I think they said the world cup at Cov will also be in HD at the end or possibly on Mondays Sky match?

     

    Belle Vue in HD.....crikey :wink:

  7. The Cardiff Grand Prix Discussion Thread

    in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup

    Posted

    First chance to post on last night.

     

    First of all big well done to Crumpie on winning and his nice comments regarding Belle Vue although I imagine 99% of the folks inside the stadium don't think BV are the best club in Britain.

     

    Nice drive down, met up with my Auntie and Uncle in Cardiff and just chilled in the grounds of the castle most of the afternoon watching the speedway folk go by.

     

    Good job I don't suffer with vertigo as the seats we had, though I'm not complaining as I won them, were very high above the fourth bend. Great security going into the stadium. Big sign saying no recording equipment etc is allowed. I had a bag carrying what could only have been a camcorder and did I get stopped.........nope. The sign also said that mobile phones must be turned off once inside the stadium.....I imagine nobody entered the competition then?

     

    Gutted that the screen above bends 1 and 2 wasn't working as this meant we couldn't see any of the replays and who put the big SGP logo on the same bends upside down? Amazed nobody noticed it at the stadium and changed it.

     

    Racing wasn't much to write home about TBH. Not much passing but I put that down to bad track preperation. Ref was useless IMO but I can't be bothered getting involved with the in-depth discussions about his decisions that have been going on. Should have been all 4 back both times.

     

    The Riders:

     

    Adams - Not at his best but was unlucky to be excluded in his final outing.

    Dryml - May as well not have bothered.

    Nicholls - Best GP for a long time. Nerves got the better of him in the final.

    Iversen - Rode well IMO. Made a big mistake in heat 20 that led to him and Bomber taking a tumble.

    Harris - As Nicholls. Brave lad to come out for the rerun of heat 20.

    Gollob - Not in the mood and it showed. Poor IMO.

    Lindgren - Battled was not really at the races. Still wondering where he had both wheels over the white line (not seen the TV replay yet)

    Holta - Good when gated but looked poor when he didn't. Glad to see him get up after he clipped Nicki's back wheel and hig-sided it.

    Kennett - On the pace but was easily picked off when leading.

    N Pedersen - Luckiest rider of the night. Simple as that.

    Kasprzak - Same as Dryml IMO. Poor

    Crump - Awesome. Gating well and riding the track well. Miracle he stayed on in his last ride.

    Hancock - Same as Crump. Gating well and rode really well.

    Andersen - Below par IMO. Seen him have better GP's.

    Jonsson - Same as Andersen.

    B Pedersen - Best GP for a long, long time. Unlucky to be thrown out of the first semi-final.

     

    The missus was gutted she didn't get to Simon Stead in action........I wasn't :lol:

     

    Roll on 2009.

    What an atmosphere eh mate?

     

    This Pavlic kid impresses me more and more every time I see him. What a shame him and Sajfutinov will probably never ride over here.

     

    You can say that again Blazeaway. The big banners the Leszno fans had were very funny.

     

    Pavlic was bloody good today. First time I've seen him and was mightily impressed. I've got the World U21 Final from 2007 on DVD so I know how good Emil is and, thanks to all the good folks on here who post the links, I've seen him in action for Bydgoszcz.

     

    It is a shame that they'll never ride over here but when they are racing in front of crowds like that in Poland it would be a bit of a comedown racing in front of 1000 at Belle Vue or elsewhere.
