Unfortunately for some of us that were there we can only imagine what it was like as well I think alcohol has robbed me of most of my memory Just lucky i still have most of my programmes and some Speedway Stars.Think i`ll have to take a subsription out as well.If Shazzy recomends it,then its worth a look

Was at the London Cup match in `73 when the Dons trailed at home 8-21 after 5 heats to come back and win with a last heat 5-1.And then later in the year Hackney snatched a draw with a 5-1 in the league match.But personally i didnt at the time feel that there was too much rivalry.It was maybe that Wimbledons natural rivals ,Wembley,West Ham and New Cross had gone and Hackney were there in place Always looked forward to Belle Vue`s visits more,to be honest.By the 80`s it was much better,maybe the passing of time,maybe because we both had more exciting teams remember seeing a match against an Ex-Wembley side ,just a fixture filler.Dont think an Ex-Hackney side is a better idea,personally

we have to wait for Norden at the weekend to see who is the best at the moment.One person says Smoli another says Hefe.As i said it was a pity they all didnt ride against each other at Brokstedt.The way Mirko Wolter passed Smoli at Brokstedt would suggest he is far from invincible,but i`m also not convinced that Matze Schultz has progressed much this season.

Results after run off. P.Karlsson beat B.Hamill Güstrow 37+3 Parchim/Wolfslake 37+2 Diedenbergen 29 Neuenknick 17 Table............Pl.....Race pts......

Ah,but sometimes it pays to take a chance.Not saying Stange is the right one to chance,just that he wants to come over.Better bets might be Smolinski or Knakowski ,who just made his debut for Holsted in 1.division scoring 12 pts .Matze Schultz on the other hand has stated he has no interest in riding in Britain See on Kugelmann`s web site he lists Poole as one of his fav tracks, so if yours is anything like it then he might be alright

Ive seen that the wild cards are S.Drabik & W.Jagus

I agree,but this is speedway we are talking about. Just wanted to ask if it is necessary to have the results 3 times on here and in Polish

134 is deffo 100% Regeling unless someone is guesting in his leathers

Dublin

You mean the residents of Glasgow,i think

who are the vikings of the south then

Is no.12 S.Colvin with 0pts? Not looking too good for Barth just before the G.P

No its not true They did show a meeting on Turkish tv in about 77 Think it was World Best Pairs from Yugo But dont know if it started any interest in Turkey

Do know that Thomas Stange was in the Bahnsport Aktuell the other month stating his wish to ride in "England"(maybe he has heard about Wales ).He is riding today in Krsko,so might be interesting to see where he comes in the placings.Was out for most of last season after a crash and stated his main aim for the season was to get through injury-free.All he needed was a contact in Britain

can get in there through the Unknown riders thread i started i hope.not too good at this. I see after Andrew was criticised by Ivan he claimed he had overtaken more riders in his short career than Mauger had in his rather longer one Cheeky bugger

think there are already Polish riders qualified.no need for wild card

Certainly good that he is trying to get more experience,but i would place Sönke Petersen ahead of Loof.If he is still with Brokstedt that is

Was riding for Swindon at the last meeting when the Dons finished in 91,so must have been the year later Put a few pics on www.community.webshots.com/user/maccattack

Maybe Sweden could have done with a few extra fans by using a German as a wild card

when was that falcace?

www.speedway.org has an incomplete lineup.look under Neues or Termine

Its definitely a shame when young riders have to sit on the sidelines because of these rules we have in speedway As Gerd Riss said in BSA its hard to make good progress with only 20 meetings a year

Young Sunbrite Lions vs. The Wallabies ,Hackney sept 12 1986 A.Silver 14+3b.points A.Galvin 14+3b.p P.Thorp 16 M.Dugard 10+6b.p J.Luckhurst 6 G.Havelock 8+1 A.Stevens 0 N.Tatum 6 Admitedly against a poor Aussie side but Silver and Galvin were only beaten in race 1 by Steve Regeling When was Andy riding for Eastbourne then? The only time i went to speedway between 91 and 2002 was 95 Eastbourne vs Bradford and he wasnt in the team

One of my favourite riders when he was at Hackney.Didnt progress as well as i thought he would.Saw him ride for Eastbourne in95 and in the programme it mentions he had a "couple of confidence-sapping seasons",before joining them.At the time he only had an average of 3.72

There was also speedway for a short period in Turkey.Think they showed a pairs meeting from Yugoslavia on t.v which started interest for a while in the late 70`s.Turkish champ was Fastih Engin and runner up was Terin Avtahim
