Both him and Horton are as bad as each other. Both behaving like children. I feel for the Coventry fans, riders and staff. They don't deserve to be kicked in the teeth like this

Sincerely hope that this isn't the end for Coventry, but I don't think there will be another meeting at Brandon. Why remove and smash perfectly good seats if your going to turn round send say that they could be refitted? If the place is being bulldozed at some point, then it's hardly worth buying new furniture? Had some great visits there over the years and have always been one of the best and most professional speedway clubs around until the last few seasons under Horton, when it appears he's become more interested in playing games with Sandhu.

Also the World Cup is going back to Kings Lynn. Pretty obvious to me that Belle Vue will not run next year

Weren't the Hams involved with Scott Nicholls for a time? Certain they haven't promoted since Bradford shut in 97 mind. Certainly they'd be more trustworthy than the previous promotion turned out to be, though I don't think him and CVS always saw eye to eye..

Standing up to him? Knifing Gordon in the back more like. Very poor from Morton.

Pretty clear that this restructure is primarily aimed at reducing costs, which is all well and good. However, there also has to be some form of drive to bring in revenue as well. Simply cutting costs will ultimately mean you run out of things to cut. I would certainly hope that the BSPA are actively searching for a major sponsor for both the Premiership & Championship?

How can they declare they will run without anyone to promote it?

And Speedway loses yet more credibility - not that there's much left to lose anyway. No wonder Hancock does what he wants if he gets away with assaulting another competitor during a meeting (any other sport, this would land you with a very lengthy ban at least). Now blatantly throwing races and then issuing statements to try and talk his way out of it. The amount of power and influence he has over the other top riders is extremely unhealthy for Speedway. If you need to get out of a difficult situation, give Teflon Greg a call......

Even if they did release a statement distancing these rumours some people would still spread them, so releasing a statement is pointless. Did Alan Phillips go to press saying Birmingham had no financial problems, only for his promotion to go bump a few weeks later?

A new toy to replace the one's he threw out of his pram the other week?

I can see Harris ending up at Poole to be honest.

No doubt Gollob in his prime was a fabulous rider who may have been more successful in the world final system than the GP. Bottom line he was only good enough to win it once. I will say that Hancock seems to have more of a star-status over the rest of the field than Rickardsson had. Certainly Rickardsson never mucked about in the pits with the younger riders and thrust drink bottles in front of the camera every interview. He was ice-cool and had a hold over the others by psyching them out, not by trying to be peoples best mate.

Just catching up with all that happened. Poor from Hancock with regard to the incident itself and his childish reaction to walk out. Regardless of whether it would be the right or wrong thing to do, I just can't see that they would strip him of the title - particularly with the large and unhealthy influence Monster have on the GP series, but there has to be some form of punishment - maybe a ban from the opening round of next year. As I remember, SKY were egging Screen on to help Loram that night, yet I'm sure they then questioned Gustafsson for appearing to shield Rickardsson later on in the meeting. Might have got that wrong though. No problem with Monster backing the series, but they should NOT be collaborating with individual riders. It all adds to the number of "hangers on" in the pits, many of who have no business to be there and just get in the way - normally when something kicks off.

Have to say I'm glad Mikael never rode for Wolves again after his 2005 crash. Always feel it was good to remember him as the rider he was, not a shadow. On his day a very classy rider and was instrumental in us winning the double in 96 and then the play off final in 2002. Never forget his bruising debut at Cradley in 93 either

Just a few stats for PK Debut for Wolves at Belle Vue on 15th June 1990 Club record 584 appearances 5966 Points 405 Points 6371 Points all together 25 Full Maximums and 41 paid maxumums 4 League titles 1 KO Cup 2 Premierships 1 Elite Shield 1 Gold Cup The term legend is used far too easily these days, but Peter Karlsson is without doubt a legend at Monmore Green (no disrespect to the other clubs he rode for here). Most argue that Ermolenko or Olsen are the greatest riders in Wolves' history, and certainly they had more success in terms of individual racing, but Peter deserves his place up there with them. Maybe even above them, as he has had more team success at Wolves than any other rider. It really is the end of an era. 1990 was my first season, though I remember little about it. He is the last link to the clubs golden era of the early 1990s on the track. Fingers crossed he will get the send off from the club that he deserves.

Eh? Why Paul Smith in particular?

The Polish League has shown scant respect to British Speedway ever since they opened the doors to overseas riders in the early 1990s, by refusing to co-operate or even attempt to work with the British League. Ok so British Speedway has done itself few favors over the years, but I believe it has done more damage to the sport here than the GP has.

Simple. If you cant handle it when someone gives it back, then dont dish it out. He called some of the fans idiots, its not as if he jumped over the fence and lamped someone.

His form at Monmore has been patchy in the last couple of seasons.

One thing it did show was that there are far too many hangers on in the pits. People getting involved who shouldnt have been

From what ive heard, some of the fans in the stadium havent exactly covered themselves in glory tonight

End of an era for Wolverhampton and PK. But what a way to bow out.

If the Aces fans cant take it, they shouldn't dish it out.

Shouldnt be forgotten. More than played his part in getting to the play offs

Revenge for 93 at last
