and what does that have to do with anything? All these people putting up names of riders who should be in and not Harris are all wrong. Granted there is no way Harris would have got a wildcard and in my view shouldnt have had one in the last few seasons. But he qualified on merit so why dont people just shut the ....up! There is a qualifiaction that all riders (Kildemand, MJJ and the rest) had every chance to qualify and they FAILED!!! I believe Harris will be outclassed again next season but dont mock the man for qualifying. Im sure some people on here want 16 picks rather than any sort of system to qualify

only people with no speedway knowledge would say Tai was helped by Holder. If you still think that then watch Holder on turn 1

you will never get the top 16 in the world unless you choose them. Most people would agree on the top 10 but opinions will be divided on the others. I agree that Kildemand MJJ and some others are better riders than Harris but they had the same opportunity as he did and didn't take it. So unless we seed the top 10 and pick the rest you will always get a few riders who get through that you don't expect. It's still fairer than the one offs when you had 5 riders from the eastern block who had mainly no chance. Adorjan, Tihayni, Kocso just a few I remember

yep my mistake didnt write it correctly. if batch drops out Ward could be in. If Holder drops out and Ward gets his place then that would be the biggest joke the sport has seen

Two wildcards are pretty much guaranteed which is NKI and Hampel A lot will depend on who gets in the top 8. If Batch or Holder fall out then Ward will get one. If no Swedes make the top 8 then it will be Jonsson or Jonasson that get a place. My own opinion is NKI, Hampel , Kildemand, Jonsson Ward needs a year out of it all in my opinion....................oh but hang on he puts bums on seats lol

Im sure people either must be thick or trolling on here sometimes. Chris Harris has been fortunate to be in the grand prix the last few years .......Fact Chris Haris this year has been a disaster in the grand prix..............FACT Next season he will struggle again.....................i think Fact but its opinion lol. But the biggest Fact that some idiots cant get is THIS YEAR HE HAS QUALIFIED ON MERIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was reserve for the challenge someone wasnt riding he gets in the meeting. THAT IS HOW RESERVE SYSTEM WORKS!!! In the challenge he ties on points with the ONLY OTHER RIDER in the grand prix already. Does that not tell you the best are already in the gp's The other rider Doyle (and huge congrats to him by the way) was only beaten by the 2 gp boys. people saying we need Kildemand and Pawlicki well they were in the meeting and didnt do what Harris did. I remember in 1998 grand Prix challenge Henka and Smith qualified and Loram didnt. Its what happens. By all means say that Harris isnt up to it and may struggle but to say he didnt deserve to qualify is either thick, ignorant or trolling

your post makes no sense! In one breath you say riders need to qualify then in the next say riders like Kildemand and Pawlicki should be there. They had there chances and didnt take it. Harris did by QUALIFYING! What do you want the system to be 8 wild cards? Could be interesting for Poole next year with Magic in there. Doubt the elite league will be top of his agenda

quite simply astounded by some moronic posters on here! Chris Harris is British and has qualified fair and square. 3 riders tied on 13 points and 2 of those are the riders in the gp already. The other , Doyle, was beaten twice tonight by....................Harris and Zagar! So Harris has quite clearly demonstrated that he deserves his place. Surely if Covatti wins his last ride then Janowski is first reserve?

Come on Bomber! Pawlicki a disgrace to Poole fans not riding here yet clearly fit to do this meeting. Dump or ban these foreign mercenaries who don't give 2 stuffs about the uk. Glad to see THJ out the running. Would like to see Kildemand Janowski and Diyle go through. If Doyle qualifies then the authorities can teach Ward a lesson by no wild card as they will have 3 Aussies already

Sorry but as much as I despise Ward the person he is well ahead of Lambert at 16. Lambert is good but as SCB said Ward was averaging 9 in the premier and Lambert would do well to reach 7.5 do you think he is as good as Cook at premier level or about the same as say Tungate who would probably average the same as Lambert at number 2 in the Lynnn side. Lambert has potential but don't overhype

HAMPEL ZAGAR PEDERSEN JEPSEN JENSEN LINDGREN TO OVERTAKE IVERSEN

Looks like its a pop at North to me. Never like North to be honest especially after what he did to Barker which was one of the most cowardly acts ive ever seen on a bike, but if Hansen thinks he is drinking or on drugs he needs to back it up

Absolulty spot on glad to see a true Poole fan with reasoning. All good enough for Poole Just wondering why you havent had a pop at Pirates of Poole for his slating of Darcy when you are so keen to jump down my throat for a similar opinion!

Only the real Pedersen haters or those new to speedway think Nicki was at fault. Cant stand the man but it was blatantly the wrong decision

so what you are basically saying is exclude Pedersen every time then!! I cant stand Pedersen as a person as his reaction to his wife showed and he has/is a notoriously dirty rider but that exclusion was wrong Try being a speedway fan rather than just a hater as said Nicki the man isn't very likeabke Nicki the rider is often dirty Tonight he shouldn't have been excluded. simple really

Think you need to watch a bit more speedway then! Greg is a master of his craft. Watch some of the gp races where he holds off Darcy true skill on a bike. And in a gp i seem to remember he passed Darcy. The man is in his 40's do you expect him to take huge risks from the back!

PEDERSEN SMOLINSKI KASPRZAK BECH DANISH WINNER

not writing them off but if you look where they were 3 years ago they haven't actually gone forward. As you say there is still time but they should be knocking on the door of the gp's quite loudly but they are not. When you see Smolinski and Harris in there then you would think Janowski in particular should be almost there by now

Quite often a lot of the young poles flatter to deceive Over time we had: Pepe Dados Hampel Kujawa Zabik Dudek Janowski Prez Pawlicki Out of those only Hampel went on to be true world class Piotr Pawlicki has the potential but can he fulfil it. We seen Janowski and Dudek not really go with their careers after winning the World Under 21 maybe younger Pawlicki can buck the trend

how is this anti Poole! A rider had failed a breath test and should be banned irrelevant of who he rides for. Your views on that rider are quite clear by your silence on the matter

afther the good run of results a bit of a reality check for us. Adam struggles here and Cam and Richie H didnt cut it either and 5 from r/r maybe Gino would have added a couple. Well done Plymouth and fingers crossed our boys can be more dialled in for the cup match

please get real about the situation. He was over the limit to ride a speedway bike. now everyone is trying to find a way out of it because its Darcy Ward and he is world class. Do riders need support time and time again! He has been supported time after time and yet throws the support back in peoples faces by doing somethig stupid and disgracing himself. The time comes when you have to say no more. If an offender keeps offending when being released do you keep releasing him or do you finally lock him up for good. The worst part is the disgusting attitude of your promoter 'fingers crossed he gets away with it' see up you pipe again to defend. your posts are a joke and you add nothing to discussion. Would be nice to read that you are sad to see Ward get into trouble yet again and im ashamed to say he has let my club down but hopefully he can sort himself out and get back to riding for Poole. Yet somehow you dont even comment only to hope he gets away with it. pathetic

i think we can possibly edge this one especially as Morten goes well here. would be even better if he could have one of Gino's rides Witches to win by 6

all i said was you comment ONCE when someone mentions dodgy equipment. its blatantly obvious from your silence on the whole matter that you are in support of Ward

thought you might pop up at some time especially as the thread has started to mention how he could 'get away with it' as your pathetic excuse of a promoter said. for someone who regularly posta all the over the forum im stunned how you cant comment about Ward your own fans are condenming him and how he has probably cost you the league. yet your silence obviously shows your support for him. and the fact you now comment about him getting off speaks volums for your attitude on the matter. grow a pair for christs sake
