    Kylmakorpi, Nilsson,Gomolski would be a decent top three no big hitter but pretty solid.Nilsson last year impressed me at the Abbey could be a big year for him.What about Berge he looks a very promising rider this year onwards and upwards for the Lions.

    Howarth did improve in the PL but he will never be a number 1 also as i have said before Godfrey the Scunny promoter did say Auty was unwell for most of last year.The meetings that stick out for me between the two were the brilliant Scunny semi final and British Final where Auty came out on top in both meetings.I think both will have better seasons i hope so anyway but over ten races between the two i know who my money would be on.

    "Col"was Auty's figure really helped by those two successive 15 point hauls he got.Plus most Scunny fans say he is better riding at no 5 because of his awful gating what average do you think both will get in the both leagues be interesting to hear your opinion.

    Cook was a real crowd pleaser a damn good rider to in his first year he averaged just over 4.Then he was given a work permit and i think he averaged over 8? a mega improvement.A really exciting rider to watch could do with a few more Cookies riding today.😊

    Lasy year Clegg at times was the better rider than Howarth even at reserve.Howarth only rescued his season in the last few matches and most of us were surprised when Wolves retained him on that average we shall see. Howarth since i see him ride for the Robins he has regressed if anything for the Robins he coped very well in the top five and was then released.Stats you also said dont lie so over a period Auty has been a better rider last year you were right Howarth came out on top.But Scunny have said that most of last year Auty was unwell so this year should be better for him like you said both brits good luck to the both of them.

    But Steve dress it up as much as you like Howarth has never been a PL no 1 he never will be.Also, see how it goes this year we shall see we can have a chat in 6 months time.🤓

    Yes WK loved JJ a great Crewe side with those you named Crump to be honest really only rode on liitle tracks in Aussie Mildura where he was the king.Shows how good he was i never went to Crewe but the track was huge a real racing track Flood how good could he of been ? who knows.

    Howarth has never ever been better than Auty last year in the British final says it all has Howarth been a PL number 1 with a near on 9 point average.?I like Kyle but on his average this year i recon he is pretty poor. value. At Scunny maybe? you are on about now a pretty poor EL no difference really to the PL.
  17. I think your memory mate is pretty spot on "Paulco " to be honest sometimes i forget what day of the week it is.😀Jimmy Mac what a legend a terrific rider and he stands out for me along with Charlie Monk and Steve Lawson as my heroes of Scottish racing.

    A great signing when he was at Swindon you could see the talent was there machinery at times looked suspect but Leicester have signed a good rider.The three riders signed the team is shaping up nicely hopefully a side can be assembled that the loyal lions fans can be proud of.
  19. In 73 Gifford rode i think 22 meetings for Coatbridge Muller had the two poor meetings and none of us would envisage that he would be WC in 1983.!!!

    Because he is a decent rider and i commit and say he will improve this year also the fans who pay his wages are happy with him.Is that to hard to digest ? i remember you last year slagging him off yet he went to Poole beat Newman and Pedersen (who he could beat easily on good race tracks Scunny? all day long as a example.Get a grip forget the averages and the fans matter,you have basically said teams home favourites does not mean a jot forget averages speedway is a entertainment Auty whatever you say about him is a racer ask the Scunny fans.
  21. One of those i think was at the Abbey i have the programme he scored 0.Jimmy Mac/Beaton were the hitters for Coatbridge Gifford rode as well i think.
  22. Nano Righetto Eastbourne probably was one of the worst imports i ever saw ride.
