See my post Re Scott Nicholls, in 2009 Speedway GP, who will win!!.

Now that would be a real fitting climax to the GP series!. Although i still feel that if any man deserves to win a world championship its Leigh Adams. And i still feel that Scott Nicholls CAN finish in the top 6!!. Some of his performances and form last season was very good, he's just got to believe in himself, continue to show controlled agression in his races, and remember, there's four laps to a race, he hasn't got to do it all in the first lap, he's more than capable of winning races from the back!!. Although in the back of my mind, there.s a man called Pedersen, who will still take a hell of a lot of Shifting!!.

Why doesn't everybody just give Jim a chance. He's been thrown in the deepend, but now im sure he will have a good look at things and take stock!. The way forward is to give the kids a chance, but you still need that bit of experience thrown in. I also agree on another thread what Bob Dugard allegedly said,we should run the World Cup every two years, and just run a couple of test meetings to give and bring the kids on!. I said quite a while ago the future of British speedway looked quite rosie, with some of the kids on the upgrade. But these kids now need to prove they can step up to the mark and prove they have what it takes!. Neil did his best with the riders that he had at his Disposal and was unlucky not to win a World Cup, Now its time to give Jim the backing and let him start looking to the future!. We also need to have money put back in to Briitsh speedway, wheres we have regular training and practice facillitys, the Poles and Sweds and Danes can do it, why can't we!!. The Academy League works well, but it mustn't stop there!.

Ah but stand corrected, in your earlier post you praised Tai for his efforts tonight. Yes your spot on, as i said, you couldn't ask for more from him!!. Must be a first for you this season, to praise somebody, must write that in my Diary!!. Laguta did look quite impressive towards the end of the Meeting though, do you agree with that!!.

You never seem to post anything positive about Speedway, Subedei, i really do wonder if you are a speedway fan at all!. If its not Neil its Jim Lynch, If its not Jim its Scott Nicholls, if its not Scott its Team GB, If its not Team GB its uncle Tom Cobbly!. Jim had no choice but to play the Joker, albeit that Scott was coming off Gate one, which tonight round Vojans was about as good as it is round Poole!!. Personally, i thought it was a far better team performance than it was on Monday, and you can certainly not ask anymore from Tai!!. Now its time to give the Kids ago, ie Tai Eddie Danny King,but we need to keep that bit of experience in the team as a steadying influence!!. But i bet you don't agree with that either!.

Think i'll go and lay down in a dark room, i give up!. Hello, what do we have to say to convince you that this country is short of TOP class riders!!,. If you can't see that then you really ought to take a trip down to specsavers!!.

It wouldn't matter if you brought in uncle Tom Cobbly. We are still short of top class riders. You can't wave a magic wand and just produce them, as i said Neil and Jim can/could only work with the riders at their disposal. Thats why i wouldn't dream of slating Jim Lynch, he knows what he's up against!. Yes, you might argue that Neil during his reine had a few more riders at his disposal, but then so did Sweden Denmark Poland and transilvainia!.

No excusses, just valid points. We are now having to go through a process of rebuild, and its not going to take 5 minutes. Again, if you look beyond the top 3 riders we are struggling for riders who are proven on the big stage!. The likes of Eddie Tai and Danny King have the potential, but even they have a way to go before they become fully fledged Team GB internationals. But you still also need that bit of experience to give the kids that guiding hand!.

Nothing to do with Neil then, it was down to pure bad luck, several factors cost us the World Cup at Poole. If you watch the meeting again you will see!. The Red light Nikki Pedersen the list goes on!. And to cap it all we had Gate one in heat 25, oh, and there was Someone called Hans Andersen!!.

So where are you all now, all the Neil Middlditch Bashers, who said Neil can't do this, Neil can't do that Neil can't pick his nose!. Im not going to slate Jim Lynch, it PROVES what a very hard job he has, with once again for the grillion time with the limited amount of TOP class riders we have at our disposal. Every year, people on this forum pulled Neil to pieces at every opportunity!. Yes ok, we've lost Mark Havvy Floppy Joe screen,etc but half of them had gone during Neils reine, we have lads like Eddie Kennett Tai woffenden Danny King,etc but after that who else have we got?. Again we are very short on TOP class riders.They said the track was slick tonight, phoey, its the same for ALL the teams!. To my mind there wasno interest no comitment no team spirt no atmosphere either in the pits nor on the Terraces!. just goes to show what a good job Neil did during his time as Team GB manager!!. Its about time it came back to Poole, at least there will be a bit of Atmosphere there, might just do the riders good as well!!.

Blimey your keen!!. There are loads, but you will need to get in now, otherwise if you leave it you will pay through the nose!. Im sure a few people on here could help you, but on the other hand they may want first serving of the pie!!. Try looking on a street map of Cardiff, then look in the Directory and go from there!!.

If Lewis Bridger is there i'll do a Lanzilla round the poole track!. And i won't be doing that!!.

Your lucky Lea, i had to sit down and enjure two bloody hours of it!. Yawn, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

As i said on another thread. Poor Scott Nicholls, he really does get some bad luck. Im not a great fan of his, but after tonight in Prague even im starting to feel a bit sorry for him!!.

Poor Scott Nicholls, he really does get some bad luck. Im not a great fan of his, but after tonight in Prague even im starting to feel very sorry for him!.

Know to all as Speedy Pete Jarman at Poole. Sorry to hear of his passing.

Thank you, at last somebody with common sence agrees with me!!.

Yeh, and you tell me what you would do to solve the imediate problem then!. Await your reply with interest.

I will not have it with those who are blaming and pulling Neil to pieces. Yes i may be seen as a poole fan defending our Manager, but imo its down to the riders to select the right set up for the track. Don't also forget we had some very inxperienced riders out there last night at THAT level. I also believe that NO other manager would do any better!. I do not expect Neil to resign or be sacked, but if Neil wants to walk away then thats his perogative!. I feel so sorry for Neil, he so wants a World Cup winners medal. But we are still imo in the crossover period, and we need to just have a bit of patience and a bit persiverence. We have some talented youngsters, and they are going to need time. You can only work with what you have at your disposal!. Chin up Neil.

Yep, would have to agree with Steve here. All 5 boys rode Brilliantly!. We go to the final in Great spirits, we now have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. Lets put our best foot forward, everybody give it 200%, lets really give it a go, we have 5 riders who are more than capable of pulling up the trees, theres nobody any of our riders can not beat, even in Poland, everybody muck in and really get behind each other, and see where it takes us!!. Go for it boys!!!!!.

I do back every one of them Shazzybabe-er bird. I have the utmost confidence in all the boys, especially on home ground, i said nobody is expecting us to win the World Cup, but i do expect us to qualify to the final from tomorrows round at Coventry!. And win lose or Draw, i would expect Neil to retain the job!.

Don't take a whole lot of pleasing then do they!. The British GP was a fantastic advert for Speedway, this was bordering on very boring, on a track set up for the Danes!.

Thank you Badge

As others have pointed out, no airfence. absolutely diabolical. Can't believe that, Ole Olsen in charge, but they cannot import an airfence, that is not good!!

Nobody's saying we will win the world cup, but i think it will be looked apon as a disapointment if we don't qualify for the final from Mondays meeting. With so much home track advantage, and Lee Richardson in the form of his life!. As ive said before a long time ago, we are now in the middle of the crossover period, the young riders for the old guard. Some of the old guard are still good enough, and some of the young riders still a step away just yet!. I have full faith in Neils team management abillitys, and even if we don't win the world cup, i certainly don't expect Neil to pen any resignation!!. Give the man a break VV
