Yep what a bloke: not turning up for the ELRC and EL Pairs, having a vendetta against another British rider because they dare to actually win a GP round, and for acting like a bully on the speedway track.

What a guy Somebody please pass the sick bucket.

Your arguments are very weak Genghis. You dont like him, fine, no problem, you are entitled to like or dislike whomever you want, but spare us all the pairs and elrc crap, i would imagine his attendance record for british league and associated meetings is up there with the best.
And acting like a bully ? what like Mauger, Olsen, Neilsen, Pedersen, Crump ?

Hatcham - I can't remember any of the above names ever physically assaulting a fan at King's Lynn. Nicholls IS a bully.

I am not familiar with the case but what was the Kings Lynn fan doing on the track ?

I believe Nicholls attacked the fan at the pit gate, after a on-track bust-up with Nicki Pedersen. It was rather swept under the carpet at the time.

You believe ? so you dont actually know ? even if it was true, there could have been mitigating circumstances.
And when have Nicholls and Nicki P both ridden at Kings Lynn, surely not the ELRC ?

Didn't the Wagster operate King's Lynn (the unlamented King's Lynn Knights) in the Elite League around the turn of the millennium?

I see in the Polish league section Nicholls average was 7.02, i read on the BSPA site his British league division 1 average was 8.98. Does anyone know what his Swedish average was ?

Averages in Sweden seem to be calculated in a somewhat more complex manner than elsewhere and only clever people like wibblemuis are able to explain them.
But I suspect the Polish websites will just calculate them normally and here's what sportowefakty.pl reckons last season's Swedish averages looked like:

Thanks Sub, i think in retrospect Nicholls will realize he made a huge mistake( if he had any choice in the matter) I have disagreed with a lot of Genghis's points today, but expect most British speedway followers will agree with his sentiments, and Scott will find himself with very few fighting his corner.

Nicki Pedersen rode for King's Lynn in 2001 and 2002. The on-track confrontation between the two and Nicholls's subsequent physical assault on a supporter came at the end of the 2001 season.

Yes, for three years between 2000 and 2002, before moving to Oxford in 2003. How I miss the days of Waggy at Cowley - happy days.

So you've been waiting 7 Years, talk about revenge best served cold.

Hatcham - Sub is talking nonsense, Swedish averages are easy to calculate using the below simple sum:

(Individual Average x Total League Matches + Match Average - Start-of-season Average)/Total League Matches = New Individual Average

It does take much longer to work out Swedish averages because you have to use the above sum after every meeting, and then the next match uses the new individual average and so forth.
