rubbish!! ive seen good and bad meetings at all sorts of tracks. your 1 of these people who believe fast tracks equals good racing - it doesnt!! ive been to peterborough where they have thrashed sides and all that happened was the peterborough riders trapped and went! boring racing. watch someone like Loram PK and the like on the technical tracks actually line someone up throw them a dummy and get there wheels in line and pass. far more skilful than someone just blasting round the boards. and yes i have seen good meetings at peterborough as well. my point is that good racing can happen on any track premier or elite. if you just want to see peterborough, kings lynn, sheffield and Scunthorpe then you are not really a fan of the sport are you

firstly this isnt Chris Harris fault so those abusing how he has done in the series and all that should lay off of him. secondly it is hugely the wrong decision! i can see why they done it with him being a previous winner at Cardiff and being honest he would probably be more competitive than any other Brit apart obviously from Tai. Nicholls and Harris are slowly in decline think that is obvious and riders like Kennett and King and possibly Cook and Auty have seen there chance taken away from then. If i was Nicholls with 7 titles already i would just not bother riding and stick 2 fingers up to the authorities. He has won it 7 times so deserves, out of form or not, the chance to ride at Cardiff. Disgraceful

it is a good track yes but why do people insist that a fast track must be good racing!!! basically if you were off gate 4 and in the dirt that was it!! best racer we have ever seen in my opinion is Mark Loram and to watch him ride eastbourne and wolves was a joy to behold. lets get away from fast tracks make good racing!

did you watch the meeting? wasnt a classic was it? gate 4 was a huge advantage. if you think exciting speedway is going out in the dirt from the start and going quick then thats up to you. only 1 line on the track which was totally proved time and again. even the commentators and Tai were telling riders to go out wide! My team are in the premier league but good meetings can happen on ANY track premier or elite. Point proved in heat 15 saying great ride by Cook. He didnt have to do anything as Howe bottled it around the kerb. Take your fast track blinkers off!! last nights as better because only 1 team turned up on Monday! you need 2 good teams to make a good meeting simple as. i thought the scunny match was processional in places to well both Rosco and Tai whose opinion i value far more than yours said Dyer was more at fault so to call the ref is a disgrace is a bit of a joke. this is the same ref who should have excluded Holder in the last gp but didnt. Bet he wasnt a disgrace then was he with your beloved pirate. I thought Dyer was unlucky to be excluded but the ref isnt a disgrace

i wasnt digging him out. he has been fantastic and he will have bad meetings. But on the pace or not any rider that scores zero has had a bad night. Im not worried in the slightest about Adam

lets look at the facts. we got stuffed!! Barker aside it was woeful and yes Adam has been fantastic but he had a poor meeting on a track he hadnt seen. the 1 rider who needs to go is Risager basically he is so poor its untrue. wouldnt have saved us last night but he needs to go. Personally we have done ok so far as we at last have a good number 1 and 2 reserves

firstly what a fantastic competition you run here tnt but............................i think you got emils score to low here and most will pick him!! now waiting for egg on my face lol

LINDBACK HOLDER SAYFUTDINOV JONSSON

if you would rather have Lawson in your team then Cook then what do you know about speedway!

i take it all back. i thought tai would struggle to make a semi but he has totally proved me wrong!! humble pie! Ward could easily win this title im sure gollob will throw a few shockers in. Holder doesn't look on it at all

Can i change Ward for Vaculik? If its to late no problems

really lol your knowledge is limited heat 3 looks tasty!

i was there im an ipswich fan that track was rideable - maybe not raceable seen racing at foxhall many times in a lot worse conditions over the years. personally it should have gone ahead. people will say we wouldnt have got great racing and their right but that isnt the point. if that was a sky meeting it would have ran simple.

im only saying not talking bout Holder because he has won a world crown already. would hate to see ward waste what he has

not really talking about Holder. up to Ward he could be remembered for a multi world champion or piss it away. if he wants to enjoy the high life then i would rather someone dedicated to our sport be world champion

Moran brothers are legends of our sport. They were characters and yes fantastic riders. Could you also clarify if they won as much as they should have done? Kelly had tremendous ability on a bike so much natural talent. Burst onto the scene in 1979 world final finishing 4th. He then undoubtedly enjoyed the limelight the odd beer, bit of trouble here and there and never finished higher than 4th again. I remember the Brighton bonanza a few years back when Kelly was the star. He was hungover half drunk couldnt even gate or stay on his bike and in the bar afterwards was legless. i remembred thinking then what a waste of a career and what could have been. RIP. Shawn was also a great rider but not as gifted in my opinion as Kelly. Ok lets let Darcy carry on the way he is and see if he wins what he should have done. could be a very good comparison to Kelly Moran. Again true winners, true pros, Nielsen, Gundersen, Rickardsson, Loram just dont do these sort of things when the 'race face' is on.

hope you reading this statement pinstripe and dave minall! summed up in a nutshell

are you a role model for others? are you a professional sportsman? does it matter what you do? if you go out friday saturday sunday and get drunk thats up to you. pretty boring life if you ask me cant get my head around this way of thinking. it happens in most towns thats the youth of today. ok so be it does it make it right? personally if you want to go out drinking brawling and urinating in the street up to you. more reason why this country has gone downhill. if your life is about going out getting drunk 3 -4 nights out of 7 then go waste your life. why cant people see that THESE ARE WELL PAID PROFESSIONAL SPORTSMAN. ROLE MODELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What they did was wrong

well if you think its acceptable then thats your view. personally i think its disgusting behaviour and shows you what is wrong with our country really doesnt it. remember the riots in london? this is called anarchy basically. nothing would have been said ifit was hancock hampel or crump because they would never have done it!!!!! Ward wasnt really involved this time but yet again his name is there linked in. he needs someone to grab hold of him and quick otherwise he could throw his whole career away. Holder i thought would have known better Batchelor is a clown full stop. If you think that because this 'stuff goes on in city centres' means we should accept it then i feel that is the wrong attitude.

LINDGREN WARD ZAGAR HANCOCK

For those of you who think its ok for anybody to get drunk in a bar or club to a point that they get thrown out or fighting then i suggest you live in a different culture to myself as i find it appalling behaviour and if my son was involved i would be extremely disappointed. Now moving on to the fact that these were professional sportsmen make it all the more wrong. Between March and October these guys need to be on top form both physically and mentally is that to much to ask? Yet again its the young aussies involved. batchelor i can understand as he always been a bit of a pillock but Holder i thought had grown up and moved on. he is World Champion he needs to set an example. could never see Hans or Rickardsson and the like behaving like this. Darcy is Darcy. He will probably fritter away his career as he gets caught up in everything all the time. he wasnt to blame in this instance but yet again he was there. Its ok though because they are young !!!!!!!!!

Thought it was a good not great gp. Darcy best rider on show. But because he is inclined to miss the odd gate plus his over eagerness ( see semi final) means he has still a bit to learn about the gp's. However i can not really see him having a shocker and he will be bang there at the end of the season. Did Holder look hungry for it? Maybe but he doesnt like the track and i think he to will be there or thereabouts. Hampel for me sort of passed under the radar a bit but got a win and pleased he is in. Tai was fantastic proved me totally wrong and just hope he keeps it up. Emil was disappointing but reckon we could see a different rider in Poland next time up. Someone said it was disappointing to see the old guard Gollob, Hancock and Nicki in the final but to me just shows how great these 3 guys are. In particular Nicki, who i dont have much time for, basically looked the slowest rider all night. either last or looking likely to be passed yet still made the final. Thats what Ward needs to learn. In my view Darcy can win this world title just needs to curb his enthusiasm. im sure he would have been second in the semi if he had picked his moment to pass rather than just charge but hey its good to watch

WARD SAYFUTDINOV KASPRZAK GOLLOB

because its not opinion from him. he is biased and cant see past the end of his poole nose. it is possible they could be 1-2 and yes Darcy is a future champion but just think he will need a year to get it right. notice how shovlar mentions no other riders but the poole boys? he has probably got kk and lindback as 3rd and 4th and then isnt sure who else is racing why get involved? sidney admitted his mistake so move on!

so where are the so called real poole fans then? no shovvy, no home striaght, no internetman!!! when we all slating Matt Ford for his blatant rule bending how quick you were to defend. now the prat ward cant be defended nor can middlo and yet you are absent from comments. every season somehow poole speedway drag speedways name through the gutter if i was holder i would get as far away from ward as possible.
