Once again a badly prepared track. Even Leigh Adams said that it was not the same track they raced on for league racing. It is time they let the people who know the track prepare it. It spoils the racing when there is only one line. Once again the referee was not up to the standard we should expect for the GP's. We all have differing opinions whether Nicki should have been excluded. The decision on Leigh Adams was clear cut. As for the decision on Andreas Jonsson it was blatantly wrong. Even all the "speedway pundits" were mystified, he just went through the tapes. None of the other riders were moving. If there was something wrong with the tapes, why not put the red lights on, and the riders would have moved back. If they are not careful fans will start to boycott the GP's because of bad tracks and decisions. As for the Polish fans, how biased can you be. By all means cheer your home riders, but why so much jeering whistles for some of the other riders. I was disgusted by it. Shocked

getting disenchanted with diabolical tracks and pathetic referees . ok , have to admit nicki was at fault , adams unlucky --- but jonsson ?! nuthin' ,no explanation , not a word . olsen presides over all of this , what an arrogant ignorant person he has become .
the result , a poor product . if nicki wasnot in it i would not bother to watch it . the word " organisation " cannot be used , as stated ignorance and arrogance seem to go hand in hand . certain people when given control simply cannot handle it  , wonder if olsen has claimed for bathplugs on his expenses too . Sad

Have been saying it for the last couple of years. The GP's have become a bore because of Olli's insistance of having no dirt on any track . The sooner this muppet is kicked out the better!

Must say these GP,s are getting very boring now, Brits were very poor should not be there, Would rather watch Premier league racing at least they put some shale down, Like Ray only watch to see Nicki. They are poor advert for Speedway as said in an earlier post they need to get rid of Olsen.

I would agree with both you and Ray Olsen is killing speedway at the top international level. In the last GP how many exciting heats were there, count them on one hand?

was speaking to one of our riders who went to the gp and he said that in the morning of the meeting the track was ripped and watered and looked real good. Leigh Adams was more than happy with it.
Along came Ole O and went mental, asked for the track to be tire packed to eliminate the deep dirt.
Reason? to be sure that the riders and sign boards carrying the sponsors logos remain clean as its those who matter most it seems not the paying public or tv veiwers.

Surprise, surprise, Olsen once again demanding that the circuit is prepared to his orders. I am sure the riders are not that bothered if they get dirt on their racing gear, they can always brush it off. It is going to be up to the riders to demand a track that is good for racing and fair to all, before anybody gets badly hurt. Perhaps if the fans started to protest, and maybe in the long run stayed away he MIGHT get the message, but until Olsen is replaced I cannot see anything happening. Surely it is up to the people who prepare the tracks to tell Olsen to "take a running jump, and keep his nose out". He is their to oversee that the meeting runs as far as is possible to schedule. I only watch it on television to see how Nicki gets on, but I would certainly not pay to go and watch. The racing in the Elite League, sometimes, and in the Premier League has been much better.
