  1. Where did I mention respect, or lack of it?? I respect all riders for doing what they and have done since 1976, I respect all levels of rider I was talking about the interest level being increased with the inclusion of Nicki in a GP, with the amount said about him over the last 10 years or so it is hard to argue that point surely
  2. Spot on People are already licking their lips in anticipation of seeing what happens when Nicki takes to the track in 2 weeks time. Take him out of the GP at Cardiff and we are all talking about how is the track going to ride!!
  3. No longer 'The Grin' Now 'The Smiling Assassin'
  4. Good job USA didn't make it to the World cup final, Greg would have had to have done a Whirling Dervish impression!! I blame WWE, hasn't Greg heard the 'don't try this' warning???
  5. I am sure his parents do advise him, to advise him to miss the meeting was a fabulous way to turn supporter's opinion into going against him. Am I right in thinking they advised him to speak out against the way the BSPA treated him as a junior?? Maybe why he isn't in the British Final ... Don't know but could be If it is then his parents could do with a bit of advising
  6. Shouldn't be a problem, wait until Wednesday, if the weather forecast still say's rain showers, then implement the SKY TV 48hour call off rule (yea I know it isn't on SKY but what the heck!)
  7. The power of Sky TV is a very potent thing!! Most meetings without TV coverage are stopped almost as soon as it starts raining as riders cant see when rain hits their tear offs, last night this wasn't the issue. So is it actually an issue for rider safety as I have always been told?. If it is then why did the riders take to the track for heat 1??
  8. Maybe riders clearing off for evening meetings was the deciding factor, just a thought
  9. Hold on ... BSPA not telling us anything ...... Nope cant see what seems strange about that
  10. Finding a like for like replacement for Allen is almost an impossibility I would think. The team mentioned with Kurtz is about as good as its going to get, I imagine we would have to go along this route as options are limited.
  11. I don't know ... a packed out Deepdale, Brammel Lane, Ricoh or Stadium MK would create a hell of an atmosphere
  12. If we cant blame human's ..... it makes you wonder what animal is employed to lay the track!!!!
  13. I think that every situation I have seen similar to this with a rider lying on the track in the 1st/2nd bend area and the others about to finish the last lap, the red lights have come on prior to riders finishing the race so that they have slowed before passing the prone rider. Didn't happen in this case, bit of an unusual one IMO
  14. I hope that's wrong, personally I have collected the programme for every meeting I have attended since my first one in 1976, these are all completed and filed away (anorak I know). It wouldn't be the same if all my collection was downloads on a tablet!! Not a lot of fun going through an old set in the winter remembering certain meetings.
  15. You can always ignore points difference if it suits!!!!
  16. I remember the three times re run race off for the riders championship at Coventry, great drama, as a Panthers, fan wrong result though!! Nagy was a great rider at that level though
  17. I am very lucky in the fact that I live smack in the middle of 3 tracks, one in each of the levels of league racing and can honestly say that I find very little difference in the entertainment level at any of the tracks. I also visit Buxton at least once a year and have dragged my wife to watch National League racing at numerous venues from Weymouth to Sittingbourne to Stoke and have been entertained by them all. Some of the facilities have been a bit lacking but for speedway entertainment dont worry about it being NL
  18. Fantastic entertainment!! Congratulations to Greg on his win and for doing his up most to make sure the battle for 3rd went to the wire!! KK a comfortable second but the incident and drama over third was pure theatre - going to watch it again now!!
  19. Sorry, didnt mean he covers those riders as well, just wondering about payment .. you cant be that bad at one and that good at another
  20. I guess that they will be after Rick Frost has covered everything ......... does make you wonder about the Coventry riders as well????
  21. There was a good reason for that...... You have to marvel at the brass neck of Horton, he sat in the stand listening to the end of season speeches that were publicly announcing that his management was s*** and then was applauding with everyone else at the end of them!!!! Unbelievable!!!
