Mr. Clemens

You are right he is the best (doesn't say a lot for the rest) and you can't knock the man for his winning ways. My problem is, is that sport is a competitive thing and if there is no competition then it becomes a pointless exercise. The result is that there comes the point where you lose interest and turn it off. An example. I was watching the Germany/Scotland game last night. When G went 2 up, I thought 'that's that' and turned it off I'm not going to waste time watching a walkover The result was I ended up watching the Spg 2 2023 - whatever they call it - the under 16'a - on you tube far more entertaining In other words turning my back on the one thing introduced me to the other thing And that's the problem with non competitive sport - you lose interest All the above is my opinion the way I have always seen sport I just want it to be competitive and may the best person win

Problem is he doesn't have any real opposition therefore it all being boringly predictable

No point in watching anymore GP's now, it's all over as it was always going to be

Dear old Ove (or whatever she called him). What he was really saying is 'what a bunch of pansies, we'd have been half way through the meeting by now. Ding Dong ( he must be a Leslie Phillips fan)

mercifully short if not so sweet

Not consistent enough. Hit and miss. Seems to me that he's satisfied with that. Time will tell.

I think that people have not yet realised that deep down Bewley's not really interested in progressing in the GP's and therefore not interested in being world champion.

20 heats gone by like lightening and hardly any of them held my attention after the first lap

Funny how the main topic of conversation is the sync situation. You might think that people have got that syncing feeling

You're right it's almost as if 'everyone knows their place' zmarlik is number one and we all follow on in his train, in other words 'after you' = tedious meetings

Might sound odd but I think that's the organisers plan to have a serial world champion like schumacher, hamilton and verspatten. Seems like a good idea at the time but the more championships zmarlik wins I believe the interest in watching will decline exponentially as they say. They used to hold these meetings in large stadiums, seems like the smaller they are the more packed they are = a sell out crowd

Bit tedious so far looks like a one horse race tonight

Yep, when I read that I thought it might not be worth bothering, but I thought I would give it a whirl anyway. Up to now best GP I have seen in ages I wonder if Michelsen swapped his bike with Wozniak's when he wasn't looking!!!

Meeting seems a tad lifeless to me, finding it hard to engage with it all

I thought it was the best article that I have ever read on a topic of this nature. It really drew you into the ordeal that a rider goes through, so much so the reader is 'suffering along with the rider'.

Great meeting in terrible conditions Well done both teams

True it's not the same without his charismatic presence to entertain the masses

Here's hoping for a 'Grand' final May the best team win

I think that it's more to do with the fact that he picked up a cheap gold medal for BV last year and planned on doing the same thing for Sheffield this year. It's like it was going to become a tradition for him to slot in with the favourites for the semis and the final. What Del boy would call a 'nice little earner'.

let's hope that the 2nd leg has some life in it only 2 heats worth watching Can't really understand there is no genuine desire to make something 'electric' happen to spark the meeting into life.

It's an amazingly lifeless meeting, across the board, for a grand final.

Jurgen Klopp will tell you

I won't happen, if it was going to do it would have happened long ago The sport will shrink to the point that it will take place in Poland only and they will win everything every year as they have done this year. Something that Kelvin took pains to point out. This makes you think that Kelvin is aware that Poland will be the only place to be for worthwhile television speedway and he will want to be part of it, when they show Polish speedway rather than British Speedway here.

One horse GP series won by the one horse.

Best give BV a bye to the final every year that would solve the problem
