So out of all of you who have moaned,groaned,whinged,complained,slagged this and that off not going next year

What a load of crap!! Riders let alone bookies don't even know until the meeting itself which is their fastest bike(that's why they have practice) and just because Hans didn't have a "good bike" doesn't make him a poor rider. I bet Leigh Adams isn't amongst the bookies favourites at the next Grand Prix but he could quite easily go out and win it

God I wish some people would get a life!! All they same to do is moan,moan,moan. Not many have made a big deal of it as you ask because it isn't a big issue to most sensible fans. Yes it is an individual event but what about when Greg Hancock and Billy Hamill were a team?, what about when Mark Loram and Leigh Adams were a team? I seemed to remember reading it was the best thing to happen to the sport as it made it look more professional. Yes I know Emil and Hans are not a team but they could be team mates at another club or best mates off track and to me if you are in trouble you try and help your friends. I am sure not many would of moaned if a rider had loaned a British rider a bike and he had won the final on it

Don't know what's going on there but photo 9 is worth a look

Never mind that, whatever happened to the moderators

For christs sake it's a mans sport, the bloke has just come of his bike at speed and doesn't think it was his fault and has had a camera stuck in front of him and a mic pushed under his nose, what do you expect him to say?. When I started going to speedway in the 70's there were punch ups, tantrums, smashed phones, riders actually going into referees boxes to confront them nearly every other week and the crowd(me included) loved it. I know which speedway I preferred to watch and it isn't what I see now

Agree with that as being British Champion doesn't make you number one as that would mean Adam Skornicki would be the Polish number one and Magnus Zetterstrom the Swedish number one

Your not allowed dead heats in World speedway no more

So if Scott wins the British Final and Chris stays ahead of him in the GP's Who is British number one?

If Scott isn't British number one can someone tell me who is?

He said last night after the race when Gollob had problems with his bike, he didn't know if he had completed the race or not

I agree the bloke is useless but if sky get nearly 1 million viewers for speedway and only a couple of complaints they are hardly going to get rid of him are they?

In my opinion, "You gotta say" he is 19

Yes I know what normally starts on the satellite channels at that time aswell Ron

Am I missing something here but if this was issued on the 28th October why did the BSPA website issue this yesterday http://www.british-speedway.co.uk/news.php?extend.1988

It was Gary Ainslie

One of my all time favourite opposition riders, I remember him scoring a 15 point max with ease for Canterbury at Brough Park in about 1980 or 1981

And the place is going to be awash with Australians who have made the short trek over from Australia to support their man

The one that winds me up the most is when Tatum keeps saying "He nearly had to put the brakes on there"

Didn't have much choice considering it was the only one left

Agree with you about the professionalism bit but I have seen riders absolutely legless at speedway end of season dinner dances who have went out the next night and scored maximums

Didn't do him much good did it? He might aswell of went out on the p$ss

Only done 191 for me and I haven't got any settings on like add 10 mins at end etc
