This can't be true ...Racers and Royals told me that there were more tracks opening than closeing and the sport was booming .

Surely the negative and constant critcism of any team is because the team has not being doing well in the first place over a period of time ..there was plenty of negative comment about Simon Stead last year and because of that he done something about it and it done him good ,thats why people do it in the hope that it will do some good .

But you don't like the unpredictability of the play offs or tac subs ? as i said double standards .

Not a opinion, i ask you a question ...yet another topic where you show double standards .

Why would you want someone who is not good enough or just got lucky to be world champion ? The Gp has hardly watered down the competition as it has the best riders are in it, unlike the old world final .. You moan to hell about tac subs etc but like one off world finals that were a lottery full of riders who should have not been there in the first place .

Was he ? he may has won but he got lucky by all accounts .

What ? why would two riders in the EL be tailed off but not in the Pl ...The Pl matches iv'e gone to over years are the same as the El, some good matches some poor matches and the same amount of riders getting tailed off .

i Read your post fine ..it's says that in the Pl riders ride for the win ? sorry if i am reading it wrong but what does that mean ? and what stats do you back that up with ? and how many El matches did you go to this year ?

You have to laugh ,only in the are Pl riders are trying to win ..where in the El once a rider hits the front he thinks i better drop back to last as i am not trying to win .

Yea you have to wonder why fans don't turn to watch this great product ..are they mad ?

:rofl:

This is second time in two days that i have read this kind of post ..just because someone puts there side of a story up does not mean it is the truth or indeed fact .

How did Woffy get on last night ?

Why did give the wildcard to MJJ ? why did they put him the world cup side . :rofl:

Pretty easy to see why ..the bottom line is that puk is never going to anything at the top level so a wildcard is a waste ..on the other hand MJJ could go to the top of t he sport so hence he's been given the chance as in the long term this kind of meeeting going to help him out .

Big NP fan and like most love his interviews ,it's great box office ..i thought last night he was unlucky to be excluded but felt he should been more worried about how AJ was than the point he lost ,even if did feel hard done by .

Ah name calling, the hallmark of a mature person

Been part of speedway for years ..thou in 27 years this bloke never seen it before .

Whoooooosh .

No way :shock: before you know it riders will be moving at the start .

Track staff are hardly likely to be outside the staduim selling tickets 30 mins before start time are they ?

Because they never placed bets on it happening .in cricket i've seen someone let the ball go for four so that they keep that batsman on strike, it's called tactics ..as long as things are being done to help there side win there there is nothing wrong with it .

For simple reason how do you know when someone is hurt and not fakeing it to gain an advantage ? For example King falls in his first ride and says is arm hurts and he can't ride any more and then the better riders take the rest of his rides . You got to get the balance right between letting someone replace a injured rider but at the same time not letting that side gain an advantage by doing so ..the idea about having two reserves who can take a max of two rides each sounds perfect .

i Think most fans see it that way it's just common sense . A rider will get injured early doors in one these meetings it's just matter of time it might even happen this week .

More of a concern than the joker is having no reserve ,it's a matter of time before we have a pile up in a early heat and a team loses a rider and the meeting is ruined and a teams hopes gone . Each team should have a reserve who can only take a max of two rides at anytime in the meeting, so not only them a chane to replace the injured rider also stops the kind of stunt the poles pulled in the final the other year ..i expect it won't change thou intill something like the above happens .
