Well said Dave and 100% right .

Many thanks

Unnatural speed?...can anyone tell me the Krsko track record and did Tai, or Greg for that matter break it on Saturday?.

Yes I did.

Absolutely and I wish he was riding here too. British speedway needs the top riders riding here...every week, every match as in days of old. But: I would never castigate any rider who genuinely believed it was in the best interest of his career to limit his league activity. You might say ok then, scrub Poland and ride England. Fair enough but the top guys ride in Poland, so how would riding against weaker opposition further his career?. If we limited EL league meetings to once home/once away per season it may tempt Tai (and Greg) back, but what do tracks stage for the rest of the season?. Will fans stand for 7 league meetings plus a handful of cup and challenge meetings, and the odd individual trophy?. Fans of my generation were weaned on a diet of 30 meetings a season, most but not all meaningful and today's fare is not enticing, particularly with the top men (Tai included) staying away.

The sport is dying due to crap venues, over-inflated admission prices and a near-total reliance on guests, d/up riders and r/r...not to mention a stale diet of speedway on most club's fixture list.

robert...sorry mate but you don't half spout some tosh sometimes. No offence .

Having the current World champion and his predecessor promoting your brand is great for any sponsor.

Tai winning with Greg second achieves the same result though, with Tai still leading the table and Greg going above Nicki.

A considered decision not to take an unnecessary risk when 2nd. place was sufficient...yes. Blatant race fixing...Ballcocks!.

If anyone is interested (hopeful face on here)...I will offer the following programmes for a copy of the LA 1982 World Final Programme. World Ice Speedway Championship...Eindhoven 1983 World Ice Speedway Championship...Assen 1984 World Ice Speedway Championship...Innsbruck 2010 London Indoor International 1991 Telford Indoor Ice Meeting 2004 Telford Indoor Ice Meeting 2011 That must be a good deal...no?. p.s. I will make the same offer for a copy of either the Amsterdam or Munich World Final programmes .

I didn't see you I read it 7 years ago but I think your memory is ok.

Spot-on Norbold and EIA. Bjorn and Sverre were flying around Custom House and Briggo, good as he was could not catch Stan Stevens... I know, I was there . I only caught Ronnie Moore at the end of his career but he was still streets ahead of most of the competition.

Are you seriously suggesting Tai let Greg win?. You will be in a minority of one if you are.

There is little point in continuing this discussion as you and I have opposing views which we are both unlikely to change .

Then you and I shall have to agree to disagree .

Harsh, very harsh. Overstayed his welcome by 5 years!!!,,,he's won 2 world titles in that time. Totally agree with you re Tai though.

Because selector's picks are arbitrary choices and wildcards keep out genuine competitors. Why should Alexander Conda get a place to appease local interest for one GP, thereby denying a better rider a GP place. There will always be people who miss out on qualifying but good/bad luck is cyclical. If everyone had to qualify for the GP series they would all be there on merit.

Nominated riders and wildcards should have no place in major championships.

I know I'm due an eye test, but every time I see Kildemand I think of Lone Wolf McQuade .

I have certainly come to think that Tai will, so long as fate does not intervene, end his career on a par with Mauger, Rickarsson and Fundin.

Must be totally spoilt now Had Greg ridden 9 GP's the way he rode the last 2 he would be looking at World Title no. 4.

Can you believe Tai tonight...absolutely brilliant!.

I was under the impression that capacity could already be increased to 16,000 with temporary stands. If the normal capacity is to be increased from 6,000 to 10,000 how does that affect the nominal maximum capacity?.

Likewise Split and those memories never leave you.
