    Why Is Speedway Great?

    My theory is Laver ( who lets not forget played in a good era.) Joe Davis,Rocky Marciano,Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Gans, Willie Pep only a few sporting examples they would go to the level that was put in front of them.Only my humble opinion even worst scenario Laver would be in a all time top five no doubt about that some of these players today are fit yet can barely go five sets unreal really.

    Should Greg Hancock Ride For Usa?

    Hancock also has never ridden this Belle Vue this decision is madness to be honest.Does he not owe the other Nations that Germany would of qualified speedway at times is a complete joke does he get fined.??

    You never see Laver live in his prime then Gater? Sampras is the best player i have ever seen live would still have Laver at no1 though.

    Sweden Favourites?

    With Sweden at the highest level i could not trust Lindgren. Jonsson both great riders with Llung as well at Belle Vue this side worries me.

    My wife Witcher went to alot of Tennis more than me, she saw Curran beat Mcenroe which then was a huge shock .Agassi was a great player Sampras with Courier as well were real players the USA were powerful then.Witcher do you think Wimbledon has changed? as in who does well style of play., For me growing up if you had a mega serve you were nearly halfway there, now that has gone there are now great returners of the ball.ISNER as a example would of been better in other eras i am convinced of that saying that he has his limitations being a big man movement wise.

    I really fancy Poland for this one, just think the track will suit them more England for the wooden spoon.

    No i didnt go to that mate but forgot i did go to the semi in 92 when Johnny Mac tried to roll back the years and beat a young Agassi i was gutted he lost in three.My biggest disappointment in tennis was Mcenroe being two sets up against Lendl in the French Final and he finally lost a hard pill to swallow mate.

    Witcher did you ever get a ticket for the Wimbledon Final? i never did went into a ballot every year went to the semi,s one year Cash v Connors. Lendl v Edberg.I see some great matches on court 1 stopped going after Sampras retired then the precedure of tickets and watching certain matches changed.

    I think not a few Pr.... who are up there own ASSES, 🤓sad B.......s no Gresham is ok a few of you . ....should of been shot at birth sad but true.🤔 If you have been to Wimbedon as many times as i have, you probably have i first went in 81.These people do not represent England i went when you could choose your court your match now those days have gone.A snobby lot lot False as anything not a England crowd for me.

    God Addio i am not six foot under yet a flask never,🤓speedway is a special sport and as you say i still enjoy it maybe not as much as the good old days but then you see a great race and the enthusiasm comes flooding back.

    Sayfutdinov On Sgp -" I'll Be Back"

    These points are so right do you think Lee and Carter could of won a title? the old saying is though you can only beat what is put in front of you on a given day and hope the luck is with you.Emil if he is determined he could still do it at the week end he showed he still has the class so fast when he hit the front..How many people thought Crump/ Gollob maybe would not win a title but they did they stuck at it but this is where Tai has a massive advantage the first title to win for me is the hardest.

    Why Is Speedway Great?

    Speedway has been a huge part of my life,my childhood years with my regular speedway jaunts were great fun.I still love the sport and last year when i had the pleasure of seeing Darcy ride for us it was like going back to the Leigh years watching a class act everyweek.I have been lucky in that respect with the Robins having riders such as Briggo,Broady,Crash,Kilb,Crumpie,Autrey,and of course Leigh with Doyley now tearing it up.My wish is for the sport to prosper and move forward in my lifetime,the potential is there will it happen i have my doubts.SCB as you are the stats man and know the rulebook inside out what rules would you change to better the product.?My two main wishes nothing major i would like to have a Brit in the top 5 of every side (ie) Garrity,Auty,Lawson,Bridger,Newman,Wright,Kerr,Starke.And the second one is only one draft rider at reserve with the top 5 changing Monthly.Speedway has been good for me spent quality time with my Dad/uncle there then later on took both of my lads there regularly as well i would not change a thing.

    Sayfutdinov On Sgp -" I'll Be Back"

    I am amazed "Custom Emil had every chance of winning that title no-one else has mentioned that.If Darcy and Emil had been around would Tai have won a title who knows fair play to Tai he took his chance and has the titles in the bag.

    Sayfutdinov On Sgp -" I'll Be Back"

    If he gets in the Series with organisation a good team around him he has every chance.For me as good as Tai is he is beatable has Emil got the will and commitment that is another matter?For me Emil is a top three rider now just hope Emil and Dudek get in the series the series will then be alot stronger for it.

    Team Gb For World Cup

    Worrall watched him at Swindon for a whole season he did well but he never really impressed me.This year he really has come on nicely nearly a nine point man in the PL i watched him at the Abbey on thursday he really was quick he looked far better than Cook along with Thorssell and Nilsson three riders that have all improved this year.https://mobile.twitter.com/Nigel_Faref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor
