spin king

Well been back about half and hour and throughly enjoyed the meeting especially as I had two quid on Jason Crump to win, so I have won a bit of money. First of the crowd to me appeared to be down, walking around before the meeting, there did not seem to be the same amount of people walking about, not as noisey as well, and the bars were nowhere near as full, and looking around the stadium there certainly did not look to be anything like 40,000 people. Onto the meeting, I thought it was a decent meeting, this was my third year at Cardiff and the racing has got better every year, had to feel for Bjarne Pedersen and Leigh Adams, certainly think that they can feel hard done to with the referee decisions, especially Bjarne who rode his best Grand Prix this season, Adams was below par most of the night. and I was struggling to qualify, but even so the their exclusions shoulf never had happened. Now onto the present Speedway World Champ, Nicki Pedersen, where would we be without him, where would the Grand Prix be without this rider, I love the guy, I think that he plays the villian brilliantly, never a dull moment around when Nicki is around. The guy had a poor night as he always seems to have at Cardiff yet he still makes the final, and still leads the Championship, and still yet to win a Grand Prix, and chances are he will be crown Champion again. And does Nicki worry that the crowd boo him and don't care for him or that they want to see him lose, does he hell, and he will do it with that smirk upon his face, like I say he will always be the villian of the piece, but does he care, does he hell. Onto the two British Grand Prix riders Nicholls and Harris, both had their best Grand Prix's this season, Bomber got the ball rolling really with his win in his first race, and Scotty got better as the meeting progressed, of the two I felt that Scott was the better, but I think that he bottled it in the Final, and I think that he missed one of his best chances to win a Grand Prix, with the tape breaking in the final, Bomber did really well I thought to make his first semi. And Finally to the winner Jason Crump, rode well again and fully deserved his Grand Prix win, I know that when I was thinking of who to back to win , I chose Jason on his present form, and the fact that he had not won a Grand Prix for sometime. He now turns the screw and puts pressure on Nicki Pedersen for the title, and I will be interested to see how both riders deal with the next Grand Prix.

Really glad to hear that.

And he would miming too. :shock:

Half time they usually surprise us with a special guest hope is not Cliff Richard.

What you telling me you don't like that classic Snooker Loopy. :shock:

And I will leave the light on. :wink:

looking forward to seeing Belinda Carlisle , that will take back to my younger days, they usually have a special surprise Guest appearance at half time, who can forget year was Chas n Dave, who I thought were both dead, bit of a shock when they came out a sung that classic number Rabbit, nearly choked on Shadders jellied eels.

Taffy has been done.

I seem to remember Simon Cross has already been featured, and I know that Mtch Shirra has been featured.

Well Done Steady and Daniel King, great to see two Brit's through, as Subedei, just for once give credit where it is due a qualification is a qualification.

I am going for the rider that most have written off Scott Nicholls, beating Crump, Adams and Pedersen in the final, and I can see Pedersen stretching his Championship lead further.

I remember him been at Sheffield in the early 80's, but he was way past his best by then, I remember him when he burst on the scene, he was very much the Tomas Gollob of his day.

I know that Phil White is definitely a pilot now not so sure about Ricky Day.

I don't know but sounds like a wonderful character, would love to hear more about him.

Good Luck to James Sargeant.

To right I think that we have nothing to lose and every thing to gain.

I say stick the lad in, he keeps on proving himself time and time again, and he is the type of rider who learns very very quickly.

I can just about remember Jim, and yes I would put him up there with Shawn Moran.

Not sure whether he has been featured or not.

Nice to see James Sargeant doing well.

I remember him, looked most unlikely speedway rider ever, would be nice to see if he still has the specs and teddy boy haircut.

Thrre Grand Prix in and our riders are not good enough according to everybody, there are still 8 more to go we are not even half way through yet, give these riders a chance.

For the time being.

Sub is probably right, the man has so much power over the sport, but it is time for him to go that track was an absolute disgrace, and as race director he should be accountable for me the he should do the honourable thing as resign.
