What a top five BL all legends, BL have you any idea roughly what Craven's Hyde Rd record was against Fundin ? my uncle told me he always held his own there.I always imagined Ove to be a white liner tough as old boots ( only see him ride twice) have pictures of Craven leading him there one in the Helmet i think.?

Nothing against you Joe your opinion and you have a good case if anything i think there are about 6/8 Brits who all on a given day are on a par with each other.As an example myself i am a big Auty fan watched him at the Abbey the other week he had a nightmare looked slow.The other night he really was in the mix in the BF ( love him to have Vue as a home track) and really being on 6 points after three rides could of reached the semi.I want Newman, Auty,Bridger,Starke,Newman,Garrity, to improve i believe there should be a EL place for them hopefully they can all push on to be top 1/5 riders not easy though.

Come on Steve he knew he was in hospital,his point was that like myself thought he would of struggled to get through the two semi's.Is there anything wrong that nothing against Newman at all just an opinion your biggest mistake was belittleing last nights line up.

Joe you are a little bit off the mark,it might be just me but you dreadfully OVERATE Newman.Starke as an example forget last year he is a slow burner and has come on in leaps and bounds.Bates also showed last night in heat 1 and he was still injured that there is a good little rider in there.Myself i like Newman but you don't see the overall picture his PL form just his Poole form.In last nights level of competition he would be well down the field in my opinion.

The track last night did have a bit of Hyde Rd in it that was my favourite ever track.I was very impressed with it , Swindon i have heard will be like a mini Somerset but i will believe it when i see it!!😀 Both in my opinion would not of qualified from the Glasgow/Scunny semi Finals also you spewed total rubbish questioning the quality of the field.Last night was great for me and in a way thank Tai for that none of us knew who was going to win last nights meeting.

For me Tai and Lambert are certainties whatever,the rest Rosco has to pick what he thinks is best.

The race with Garrity,Auty,Worrall for me showed total commitment god it was scary but this track really excites me the WTC should be good overall enjoyed the night this venue we should be all proud of.

You are a Prick 😀 Sorry.!!

I would pick Bates in front of Ellis (Ie) anyway in my view Bates has impressed me Ellis i like but he is light years from being a Top 5 rider in theEL .Saying that he has made huge progress this year we shall see. Why again would you AGAIN consider Garrity puzzling.,!

Answer is say nothing move on and say nothing ? IF you have a good point to make lets here it can't wait.!!

Newman was not there how old is he? Never reached a British final ever? did you know that Steve? Is the line up that poor?

After Wales at least draw with WOYS Boys.😅😅

With no Tai this meeting is well up for grabs should be a great night the track looks exciting Lambert i hope goes close any predictions.?

Try Mobdro Badge .

9/10 points will that be anough to get in the semi.?

Really looking forward to it tonight can't wait,hope the weather holds up.This track seems to have different lines should suit the racers.Great to have a meeting where nobody can really predict what is going to happen.I might have to relent on my prediction on Garrity not reaching the semi he seems to be riding really well at the moment.

What year "Norbold" did you think that Ove was unlucky in and it maybe slipped away from him?1972 was Briggos year Olsen also was unlucky that year.

1971 i think Olsen always keeps for me 71-75 were Olsen's best years.Mauger i think in 68/69/70 he would of been mighty hard to beat. I believe Olsen over those years would of been a mega threat to Ivan. Mauger for me on one off meetings generally his record is superb what a rider what a temperament. Mauger was never a mile clear of his rivals from 73 onwards in my opinion still riding at a great level though but Michanek and Ole were on par with him easily in 74/75.

Think Olsen could of won titles in 72 and 77 Collins was unlucky in 77 was Collins best year 76? Think 83 over a series would of been well open Carter,Lee,Sigalos,Nielsen,Gundersen,Sanders all riding well 84 onwards Hans certainly.

A decent Gp with some good racing, pleased Holder is getting back to be where he belongs .Pawlicki/Zagar having strange meetings but i was very impressed with Thomsen a really neat and tidy rider mixed it well Harris also looked quicker later on.

He won't get in the semis if he does fair play to him, even if he does not he has made good progress this year.

A great post mucker, Curtis who i only see ride twice once at the abbey think in the 73 championship season Geoff God bless i think would of done well been a International star minimum.Eastbourne under the Dugards great stuff for me Weatherley,Eric Dugard,Gachet,Middleditch,Mcneil few examples.After Woodsey woods a proper English rider grass roots(ect)loved Woods and really Gordon Kennett a great rider loyal to the hilt.Funny really never liked Eastbourne as a track but loved going still M.Dugard always rated had a decent career retired to young.

Thanks Sam will order it now how do you think Auty will fair in the BF?.Hope he rides well competes think the track will suit.This British Final i can't wait, away from Wolves this new Vue tracks looks to have loads of lines neutral hope the place is packed for Gordon/Mort both are really decent men they deserve it hope they both enjoy the night.

Do you think Steve that the Owen bros who were both top and decent riders Tom was a top average NL rider. Joe was big for a few years.Joe proved it when he give a go at Newcastle and before at Hull a real class act to me Hunter another Newcastle rider who oozed class for me never quite did it at BL level.Newcaste are a great club a great breeding ground for others Mauger,Olsen,Michanek, Lovaas Peterson ,B.Pedersen,N.Pedersen,.Bjerre If you conquer Brough as a track you are nearly half way there in doing OK in your career a real hard track in my view to conquer.

Jacko with Lawson and both Owen lads Wilcock, a few examples all unsung heroes really good riders all of them.
