With a bit of luck he will have got stuck in the mud!

Keep Charlie, Chris, and Kelvin, but ditch the mole.

I'd go for that!

Not sure about Nicholls, but the others are doing a good job in very difficult circumstances.

I think all of the Sky speedway presnters do a good job, some a little better than others, I would prefere Chris Louis to Kelvin Tatum, but that's just my preferance. I think it's been said before but all those who knock the presenters should turn off the sound and try recording themselves comentating and talking for about 3 hours, not an easy task. Charlie is getting better all the time, especially being the main presenter in last nights rain off, can't have been easy.

Whilst the passing of any one connected with our sport should be given due respect and recognition as with the former rider who recently died, I feel that in the case of Kenny Smith, he was in post as it were when he died, and after devoting most of His life to speedway, from bike pusher at Cleveland Park to manager/promoter at Scunthorpe, and after being instumental in the careers of some of British speedways brightest prospects, Auty,Haines and Woofenden, I feel it was a disgrace that in the British round of the S.W.C on the day he passed away, no one, management, riders, or former riders paid any respect to Kenny. As far as I'm aware there was no minute silence. I've seen in other sports black arm bands worn out of respect, football, rugby, cricket, athletes have worn black ribbons, Motor GP, Formular one, Indy cars have all held a minutes silence on the starting grid prior a race being started. Where as I would'nt of expected a minutes silence in Poland on Thursday, I would have thought a silence would'nt have been out of the question at Peterborough. Your assumption is correct, I have contacted the B.S.P.A and I'm awaiting a reply. As you say Ole Olsen is in charge of the meeting, I can't see him refusing a request from the Team GB management to wear black arm bands, I could be wrong, But I don't think a request would be refused.

I think Charlie is doing a good job. If she did come to the job knowing nothing about any thing about speedway then she is learning well. It's not an easy job to interview riders straight off the track. As for being the best Sky have used, I think she has a long way to go before she's as good as Suzi.

Too right, the first and best.

After showing no respect for Kenny Smith on Monday, I was hoping that there would have been a show of respact for Kenny last night, but once again it was missing. I find this totally disgraceful, Team GB should hang thier heads in shame.

Olsen keeps tracks slick so that the advertising hoardings don't get dirty, I mean He has to get His priorities right does'nt He, who cares about good racing

Great meeting, at last world class riders were given a track they could race on and did'nt they deliver, let Olsen run the G.P.s but let Buster do the tracks. I, like alot of people though King was a poor choice but He was by far the best G.B. rider on show. I would leave out Bridger and Kennet for the run off and replace them with Richardson and Nicholls. The only thing that spoilt it for me was there appeared to be no mark of respect for Kenny Smith, I would have though a 2 min. silence would have been in order and black arm bands, I hope this will be addressed on Thursday.

The only change to the current format is, I would like is the addition of a reserve who could have a maximum of 5 rides and put in at the managers discression. I felt it was unfair on Denmark to only be able to run one rider in a heat, if Nicki had been injured in his first ride that would have ment 5 rides with no Danish rider.
