It was a very good meeting, but the best? Come on now, what about e.g. the 2006 Polish GP at Bydgoszcz? Or the 2004 World Cup race-off or 2007 World Cup Final? Or the 2006 Elite League play-off final. Seems you have the Sky TV mentaility of calling the most recent the best All the best Rob

I've been using Gambo's racecards, but thanks to everyone who has been producing these. All the best Rob

Absolutely no way. A team which loses at home deserves no points. All the best Rob

Well done Chris Harris & Ben Barker, for mixing it. All the best Rob

Yes, there would have been a run-off for third; don't believe everything that is said on the Sky coverage. Would have been Lukas Dryml v Roman Povazhny in all probability. Lukas would won either won or fallen off. I still don't understand why Woffinden wasn't instructed to stay behind Topinka. All the best Rob

Run-off. All the best Rob

Hatcham, Gafurov had already been used as a joker in Heat 19. As SCB has explained, this was a mistake (and, for once, I'm in agreement with Shawn ). All the best Rob

Indeed they did. And the Brits should have made them pay for their error, but we let them off the hook. All the best Rob

The Danes were perpetual winners in the 1980s and more than once, they threw a race in a World Pairs semi-final, to get one of their lead competitors out of the final. It's called tactical nous. All the best Rob

There's no limit, excpet each rider can only take one joker or T/S ride each. All the best Rob

Such is the attitude of losers. If you want to win, you do whatever you have to, to win. We made a mistake in Heat 25 tonight, Woffinden should have stayed behind Topinka. Or had a pretend engine failure on the final bend. We don't need the Russians in the race-off, it's a hard enough meeting already. All the best Rob

He's value for money, though, isn't he? Still not sure how he got excluded for Chris Harris falling off his, in Kelv's words, motorbike. Just noticed that tonight: Ben Barker - scored 6 out of a possible 9 Scott Nicholls - scored 6 out of a possible 18 All the best Rob

Jacques, I'm starting to slightly detect that there's a possibility that maybe you're not a big Lee Richardson fan? All the best Rob

Nope, you do what you have to win. If we could have got the Russians out of the race-off, it would have made things just a bit easier on Thursday. All the best Rob

I couldn't believe what I was seeing there. With all those people down in the Team GB pit, surely someone should have spotted that Woffinden needed to finish behind Topinka in that final race. Such tactical naiveity. All the best Rob

If the Brits have got any sense, they'll now team-ride the Czechs into the race-off, because the Russians won't have this line-up if they're riding on Thursday. All the best Rob

Er... what did Lukas Dryml do wrong there?????????????? All the best Rob

A rather misleading list. Most of the above riders only missed riding in the SWC due to either injury or being retired from international speedway. How many of the above opted out of the World Cup when only 21 years old? Sayfutdinov should be given no option but to ride tonight, or face a ban from the next Grand Prix. He's let down the fans. All the best Rob

Of course, while everyone is focusing on Boycey from last night, the Swedish team manager also made a strange choice in Heat 24, but not putting the in-form Lindback into Heat 24 as the joker, instead of keeping the off-colour programmed Lindgren as the joker.. Lindback could have easily have won the race, and the Swedes would have then finished on 50 points, level with the Danes. All the best Rob

AS, I agree with that you're saying. But remember Cieslak messed things up in 2009, yet was hailed as sort some of tactical genius after he got another lucky chance to use Hampel in Heat 23. All the best Rob

Boycey did leave his joker a bit late - his move in Heat 11 should have been Holder as a joker. That said had Holder won Heat 23 (which he intially led) and the Aussies won, then everyone would be hailing him as a tactical genius (as when Cieslak almost left it too late in the 2009 final, but then got lucky at the end!). How fickle we are! All the best Rob

Richard Hollingsworth = top bloke. He breathes, eats and sleeps Scunthorpe Speedway. All the best Rob

I can get Radio Luxembourg and Radio Caroline on mine. All the best Rob

Greg Hancock is a marvellous chap. It's one reason that many people are rooting for him last year. All the best Rob

Cardiff is great, but the O2 would be absolutely brilliant. With all the outside outlets, it would just be perfect. All sorts of sports have been staged within the main O2 arena: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_O2_Arena_(London) The track would be on the small size and due to the lower capacity (20,000), I imagine ticket prices would have to go up from Cardiff. But it's a state-of-the-art venue, and much newer than the Millennium Stadium. Plus it's in London. Now before everyone gets on my back, personally I'll go to the British GP whether it's in London, Cardiff, Glasgow or the Outer Hebridies. BUT to get the real publicity from the national papers, the event HAS to be in London. All the best Rob
