Millard; Freddie Lindgren from Wolvehampton.

After tonight performance I have to say that Scott is not good enough.

Thanks for that Mateusz, I was getting rather confused.

You forgot to say how old he is.

Millard; Greg Hancock has changed his racing colours from last year, he is now going with green and black. Jonno; I think that is to do with his sponsors an energy drinks company, it is their colours. Millard; Oh well I bought a green car last week, what does that mean.

I don't think I heard him say that tonight.

I think Tony Millard said he was 19. :wink:

To right he has, but I don't think I heard him mention that Leigh Adams was from Mildura, but he did say that Freddie Lindgren was from Wolvehampton,and when Jonno point out why Greg Hancock changed his riding colours to match his sponsors colours he went on about a green car he had bought.

After tonights performance I think it fair to say that Scott Nicholls should step aside and let someone else have a crack at the Grand Prix, he looked sluggish and very slow, and very much off the pace. On the other hand although he did not qualify Bomber Harris looked alot better, and more on the pace, whether or not he makes it into the top 8 remains to be seen, but I think that Bomber has a far better chance than Scott Nicholls. The young Russian lad is one that I saw for the first time tonight, but I had heard from friends how good was, looked really good, a bit hairy at times, but fast and very exciting to watch. It is alright to have fast bikes but you need the skill to ride them, and tonight he excellent skills in my opinion , the way he balances on the bike is briliant. One question I would like to ask is what is the correct spelling of Emil's surname, in the Speedway Star it starts Saj, yet on Sky Sports it Say.

Anyone know what happened to Shane, the lad seem to have plenty of potential and determination, but cruelly with injuries, has he had to call it a day.

Would have to say Zenon Plech, in his heyday he was a joy to watch, and a very skillful rider, he had a season at Sheffield at the end of his British career but was way past his best by that time. Changing the subject slightly, how many World Titles would Tomas Gollob have won if they were still one of World Finals, I reckon by now he could have won around 3 or 4.

Very good. :lol:

The one song that seems to have been played over and over again at Sheffield is Wipe Out, don't know who the artist is but usually follows a Sheffield 5 - 1.

Yeah lets send Paulco on a tour of modern art galleries, I would love to see what he would have to say about some of these abstract paintings. :lol:

I am just trying to imagine Paulco the culture vulture visiting art galleries and museums. :lol:

Also Paul means less time spent in the pub, means less chance tripping over kerbs.

I have posted this message on the Brummies speedway forum.

And I will second that as well.

You might be right there Sandman, I think that is the problem with forums thinks do tend to go a bit deep.

I think that a fund could and should be set up if people want to contribute, but it needs to be set up sensibly and used wisely and constructively. At moment all we know is that Shawn has problems, but how bad those problems are we do not know exactly what his problems are, for example is he working, can he work, if he has problems does he wanted help to get off the alcohol. I know that I sound very practible , but I think that if a fund is to be set up, it needs to be spent on get Shawn through his problems, and at the end of the day it is up to Shawn to proof to people that he wants this, I hop that he would.

Thanks for the latest information Rami, it is very much appreciated.

It is heartbreaking, but keeps happening to sportsmen of all sports, I think that it must be something to do with the buzz of the sport that they do, and when that has gone they going looking for something else to give them that buzz. I don't think that we can fully understand it unless you have been in the same situation.

When you look at that photo you can see a rider who just makes it look so easy, I know that I am biased but you can keep your Gundersen's and your Nielsen's for me Shawn was the man, and there was nobody around at the time that I would have swapped him for.

Totally agree with you, and think that we all got few cross wires last night, but I think that what is more important is that at the end of the day, we all care about Shawn and Kelly and that is important.

Thanks Jim, I have seen your PM and replied, and there are no hard feelings on my part.
