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

Marks best 2 seasons were 1999 when he basically won everything and 2000. I agree he was never touted as a serious contender but then he did come 5th in 1999 after missing a round and having a shocker in 1 of them after crashing. He was only 5 points off of a rostrum place which he surely would have got if he had rode in the 1st one. 5 points behind a true great in Nielsen and ahead of the likes of Adams Crump and Hancock. Think its fair to say the top 2 in Rickardsson and Gollob were ahead of everyone. In 1999 Mark Loram was arguably int he top 5 riders in the world the same in 2000 so he was a contender in my opinion

Mark Loram was not a lucky world champion i wish people would stop saying that. The gp series every year rewards the most consistent rider that is fact. In 2000 Mark was the most consistent rider. He made every semi final that season. The gp back in 2000 was a six series as opposed to double that now. So that made it more likely then that you could be world champion without winning one. You still could today i guess. Mark Loram wasnt as good as say Tony Rickardsson but he took his chance and wasnt lucky. The only part of the system that was flawed was the fact that if you kept winning you had the best gates. Do people think Mark would have been more deserving if he had say won 2 of the rounds and had a couple of 9th place finishes thus still amounting the same points total? 6 different tracks and was top 8 every time. A deserved World champion without doubt. The thing is Mark could have at least made the rostrum in 1999 when he missed the 1st gp as he wasnt in the series but rode in the next 5

I like Ward the rider but Ward the person is throwing his life away. If this was Tai or anyone else I would still be saying they need a ban. Problem with Ward is he has so many past indiscretions that it shows what he is like. This isn't just a one off mistake in his career he has a whole list.

Page 70 something and people are still defending what happened. Unbelievable

i don't get where you getting the wild cards from. Ward I would imagine will get one if not banned and drops out the top 8. Batchelor or Lindgren look like they will get in on merit. After all the chances they have given Lindgren Harris and Jonsson then maybe they will give Jarek another chance. I can see the 4 wildcards being Ward Hampel MJJ and maybe Zmarlik. Lets face it they have history for putting in the same riders year after year. Hampel has been up there for many years so probably deserves 1 wild card year

spot on he should have had an immediate worldwide ban until the case was heard. Should not have been allowed to ride for any of his clubs. The fact Ward is a great rider is irrelevent The fact Ward should be in the gp's is irrelevent. The stature of a rider who fails a breath test should have no bearing on the outcome. I have no issue with Ward riding in next years gp's either by holding on to a top 8 place or a wildcard, but he should be banned for the rest of this season as a minimum. <trolling removed>

If Poole had done the right thing when this happened and sacked Darcy when it happened they would have had a replacement by now. They didnt and now they pay the price for that. Nobody to blame but Darcy Ward and Matt Ford simple. I do love hearing Ford moan though lol toys out of pram is so funny!

Matt Ford has shown his true colours as if we didnt know them already. By hoping Ward gets away with it he basically condones riders being over the limit. What a pathetic response. It's a win at all costs attitude as usual and to he'll with anyone else. What would he say if it was Iversen for example? He would be the first to cry for a ban! The man is beneath contempt

What a disgusting attitude from Matt Ford. Wouldn't expect nothing less. The man is already putting British speedway on its knees and now makes statement like this. If ward is allowed to ride in Gorzow the other riders should take a stand and refuse to race. What if a certain rider loses the world title because ward beats him in this round? It's a farce from day one and has dragged on because its Ward. If this was a Smolinski or Bjerre for example it would have been sorted by now. If Darcy Ward rides in this gp the sports credibility is gone for good. Matt Ford do yourself a favour and shut up. If the lying cheating dispicable club turn up at your track make your feelings known people

IVERSEN KASPRZAK ZAGAR ZMARLIK 30 POINTS GORZOW

Easy answer really Nielsen or Gundersen and at a push maybe Jonsson in 1992. Others would have won the odd round but over a 10 gp season the 2 danes were miles ahead
