Much better that the winner was decided over the 20 heats, instead of the Mickey Mouse add ons

Could apply to the British Final too

Team GB weren’t riding - Great Britain took their place

Has there ever been a worse commentary by Pearson than tonight’s?

Don’t think they excelled in Eastern Europe though!

Not raining at Brandon either

**** off, Monster

But it’s not a practice match! Pick a team for now!

Hahahahaha!

Send for Nelson Mills-Baldwin and co.

Nigel Pearson, I guess

The 27 (so far) comments aren’t very encouraging

Neither

May I be the first in this thread to wish Bees a successful season at Rugby Road next year!

Stan Williams was never a Leicester rider

Has James Sarjeant ever ridden for Sheffield?

Pete Jarman was born in London, don’t think he rode for any London track?

Certainly Sam isn’t on this planet!

Spot on Mikebv. Just add “take it off the tv” and you increase the chances of success

I should have added... Live at the track, not in front of a tv screen

It’s time they did - like most teams used to Saturday night is speedway night

No, it’s a recording of a future meeting

Chris Julian had two seasons I believe at Glasgow - resident in deepest Cornwall

Imagine turning up for a league meeting and finding that the opposition were tracking Ivan Mauger at reserve, and he would be off a 10 yard start! Hard to believe, but it happened to Bees once - 18 Jul 1963, at Oxford. Result was a comfortable 44-34 win for Oxford, with Mauger top scoring with a 12 point maximum, and no.1 Ronnie Genz returning an 11 point tally. Top Bee was Ken McKinlay with 12 from five rides, beaten twice by Mauger. Mauger was beaten in the 2nd half by Nigel Boocock, who went on to win the Rider of the Night final.
