rob tatum

"Will cost Emil the world title ??? !!! " Why ? There was certainly no guarantee emil would of won with or without the injury. Having watched the crash we should all be thankful its not his career over it was a truly horrific crash his leg looked like a piece of rubber. Poor lad I hope he is back healthy soon.

But why would sky want to show league speedway ? Unless its cheap to show I can't see a reason why as my daughter would see "be bothered". Just a side line we took a friend to the GP challenge at poole on the wkd for her 1 st live meet her comments were 1 expensive 2 programme too expensive but as she said you need one to follow what's going on 3 why don't they rush things along a bit as my bums getting numb. 4 stadium looks tatty. She watches all the GPs at our house and will come to cardiff next year.

Personally I am amazed sky stayed with league speedway for as long as they have. Let's be honest most pictures show a dirt track surrounded by a scruffy tarpaulin with a few cars tyres on top, A few hundred fans,a race than can take forever with restarts etc etc etc team managers and promoters giving interviews and coming across as insular knobs. Compared to the GPs the whole thing looks as if the local gypsies are running the show. Despite all that I still go I must be mad.

So harris makes 100 starts and because of his brain speed he makes 100 bad starts ? Well that's not true is it ,I would say he makes say 1 in 5 unless he has the brain speed of a dodo or me its his technique

Don't think it has anything to do with how slow his brain is to be 5 yds down going into the 1st bend on a regular basis must mean chris has a serious starting technique.

Gating has always been paramount just ask Ivan Mauger. I remember an article by peter collins when he said that him and mark loram with better gating would possibly have won more than 1 world title. Don't see a lot of difference today IMO to years gone by. Gating has always been paramount just ask Ivan Mauger.

Why would any rider take part in this meeting knowing that even if they managed to qualify then they wouldn't be allowed to compete in the gps. ? All the people slagging of chris surely should be having a go at those who run the GPs. Personally I really like chris and whatever you may think of him he is very exciting to watch but I felt that as he blew his chance in the qualifying rounds then he shouldn't of been even offered a reserve berth at poole. That's just my opinion but I still lost my voice cheering on chris yesterday despite my views felt he was VERY LUCKY to be in the meeting but VERY UNLUCKY on the day. What do I know about speedway bugger all as I have never rode a bike but bombers gating is b***** abysmal if he is in the mix at the gate he has the ability to do well in the gps.

My 8 year old cocker spaniel Ash could do a better job than the current buffoons who run british speedway not so sure about my 16 year old son but as the only word he mumbles is" whatever"he would probably be perfect.

Seem to be getting mixed weather forecasts any John Ketleys out there with a spot on forecast ? I have a 4 hour drive to get to poole so any help would be appreciated.

3 point rider ,7 point riders ,handicap system blah !blah ! Blah ! Sorry its all too complicated I would like it to be like me simple. For such a basic sport I need the knowledge of da vinci to fill out my programme these days.

Detest the use of guests always have always will. More than anything it makes our sport a laughing stock and amateurish.

BBC sports personality will not mention woffinden (if he is the champ) did they mention mark loram NO and they only mentioned mark on 5 live because I phoned them and complained.

What will british speedway do if woffinden wins ? Er um nothing.

Blimey moxey that was a quality post I agree with all that. Well done sir just a shame them in charge seem to be happy p****** in the wind

Excellent GP and very good coverage. Woffinden has become ultra professional very impressed ,sayfutinov looks under pressure but what a great kid and would make a worthy champ as for Ward yes he is exciting but also bloody reckless he could win the world champs one day or have an almighty pile up and career in tatters. God the excuberance of youth eh ! Just one thought re ward all the talk about him being the most natural talent the most exciting blah blah in the last 20 yrs , what about mark loram ? Pure class

So its looks as if sky will be waving goodbye to planet speedway. What the hell happened to the money ? And does anyone else think that a wonderful opportunity of dragging our tarnished sport into a new world has alas gone. What a complete fiasco.

Sky have no plans to show speedway next year. So all the moaners and wingers can gripe about something other than charlie ,tatum ,pearson etc. Sky at least gave it a good go its a shame speedway in this country didn't make the most of the opportunity unlike darts.

Ok I own up it was me ,I used all my speedway knowledge and chose a rider who can rule the speedway world. POSTED by Keith Heuwen.

So danny king is the wildcard why? Did he really even try to be in it from the off ? Let's be honest king john would have a better chance and he's been dead 500 years.

Fantastic stadium ,packed enthusiastic crowd and the racing was well what most of us experience most weeks close with some passing. On the whole I enjoyed it and I really like the behind the scenes fill ins the woffinden andersen journey there was good and the hans interview was F****** (as hans would say) funny . Eurosport are doing a fine job and I know they only use the world feed blah blah but does anyone else think the pictures are clearer ? We had HD on sky but it does seem better but I am 51 and my eyes are shot.

Kelvin tatum is out of touch ?? ! With what exactly ? Reality ,speedway ,politics ,life ,human beings ,what a strange comment to make as if your commenting on his speedway knowledge then that cannot be questioned. If you don't like his commentary style well that's fine it seems to me the only thing he is out of touch with is some of the moaning sad gits on this forum.

I remember John winning the BLRC at bellevue hyde rd (what a track) in the best meeting I have ever seen and what riders Collins ,crump ,penhall etc biggest memory from that night was Titman and Collins passing each other then titmans bike erupting in flames during the race. Happy days.

SKYs GP coverage was the same as eurosport apart from the incerdibly marvellous stupendous studio coverage with the world beating Heuwen ,Ermolenko and Havelock. 3 reasons why Eurosport is better IMO as always

IMO pearson and tatum(I am not related honest)are perfectly fine. There enthusiastic and yes they get excited I can live with that if its on the box. Just ONE minor gripe thou please can you stop salivating over Darcy effing Ward he is a great rider but please he has an awful lot to learn and is a very immature child. I M O

Oh dear well that went well for mr kennett then. Although I like bomber can't see how they can possibly justify given him or any other rider a wild care for the GP challenge ,unless mark loram makes a comeback.
