  1. Thats a sketchy definition of a Winner, but as you wish Sir.
  2. Hard to say More when there was none the first time and again none the second time.
  3. Ok well getting back to the Original subject... Was a controversial exclusion. Smolly definitely not popular in the GP pits only got to see some of the riders past and present on Twitter comment on him to realize that. On the flip side Pawlicki does hit the deck a lot... Be interesting to see how it plays out the rest of the series.
  4. Pawlicki is the cause of more stoppages in the SGP then any other rider in the history of the series. Nicki P included!
  5. Doyle still favorite but have a sneaky suspicion u are right
  6. He rode to aggressively, still does IMO. That particular crash was not his fault but wasnt a massive surprise that he was involved in a big bang like that eventually. That being said, he deserved to be World Champion last year. Much like Sudden Sam was back in the day, hes been very unlucky & I hope he does get his world title eventually. Although Ermolenko's was a long time coming...
  7. Correct. Holder been off Form (Melbourne 2016 aside) for a while now.
  8. Dudek is still in with a shot of being world champion and there are 2 Polish GPs left!
  9. Want a Rye Win but a return to form for Cookie!
  10. Very difficult to say who's going to be on form NEXT season. I'd say NO ONE would have even thought Magic would have been the top Polish rider in this years GP let alone leading the series with 60% of the season gone. NKI probably worth being in the series. Always in the mix. Is he top 8 in the world. Not anymore. Top 15, Id say yes. Outside of him Id say MJJ is the most worth Dane. Age on his side too.
  11. Ha fair enough. Shoulda done a Boycey. I dont think Gollob went anywhere him after Hackney 95!
  12. Really? Not being sarcastic just didnt know Pedersen was a hardcase. Always annoys me when people break those fights up. Let em have a roll around sort it out then move on
  13. Holder Schlein Batch can moan all they want but Id be very surprised if they arent all back riding in the UK next year. On Current form none of them are going to be at the top of any Polish/Swedish teams shopping list..
  14. 2 things... 1st off this is not a years old system for UK Speedway. Its yet another re jig. 2nd,most major sports have a one outcome for a win one outcome for a draw and one for a loss. Over here (US) they dont even have a result for a draw... Anyway that is one small example of multiple problems there are with British Speedway
  15. 3 for win 1 for draw nothing for losing. Whats wrong with that? and a bonus point for aggregate score as makes logical sense. And you dont have to get insulting. A casual fan is not going to be on board with that point system.
  16. LEAGUE SCORING SYSTEM Home loss by any amount of points = 0 Home draw = 1 Home win by any amount of points = 3 Away loss by 7 points or more = 0 Away loss by 6 points or less = 1 Away draw = 2 Away win by between 1 and 6 points = 3 Away win by 7 points or more = 4 That alone is an illustration of how ridiculous British Speedway has become. Explain that to a new fan!!!
  17. AlanF spot on. There is little to Zero loyalty in all sports these days. Now it's a tough one this as British Speedway is a disorganized shambles. With the luxury we have of seeing Polish/Swedish leagues via YouTube etc it is so much of a slicker operation then British league. Better tracks, stadium, crowd size, regular race nights, better standard of rider. Not difficult to see why the riders prefer it and compare UK negatively in comparison. HOWEVER, the constant moaning/criticizing has got beyond a joke now. If it's really that bad they should just clear off. To be fair to some, they've done that and just turned their back on UK league. Those who moan all the time shouldn't be allowed to ride in the league. I dont think many people would keep their job if they continuously bashed the company in public! Holder and Batch simply just got give a big slice of be careful what you wish for. They had it coming surprised they are complaining tbh What I would say, you cant tar all the Aussies with the same brush. A lot have been superb club men and servants to British Speedway over the years.
  18. Not my fav rider by any stretch but hes current world champion and hasn' finished outside the top 8 in over a decade. Fair is fair...
  19. Whatever our collective opinions on Greg, he's the world champion as of now and for him not to get a wild card next year (if needed of course) would be a disgrace.
  20. ELRC called off a couple of seasons ago!
  21. Noooooooooooooooo. That sucks. I cannot remember a decent World Final or GP there. Shame to see Horsens go.
