Ahh now that I come to think of it you might be right But what was wrong with Banks's anyway ?

Not quite right ! Banks's (Wolverhampton) took over the Marston's brand.

As a Wolves fan, I'm not bothered. The Aussies, generally speaking, do show commitment to the EL Just looking forward to seeing him develop over the next few years.

Exactly how I used to feel going to Odsal! It was a good job when the bonus point was introduced, a little something to cling on to.

Hi everyone. I am posting this request on behalf of a Wolves fan who is an avid resercher into Wolves history. He requires the heat details from the following:- Long Eaton 56 v Wasps 26 (challenge) 31st May 1951 Long Eaton 52 v Wasps 31 (challenge) 31st July 1952 I believe these are the ONLY details he is missing. As you can imagine if you can help, he will be overjoyed. Thanks Beowulf

And, actually, very nice it was too

I don't know, but I would like some

Come and say hello to the Wolfcry lot, including Lupus. They stand outside of the main grandstand, by the steps coming out of the stand, just behind the tapes. They have a Wolfcry sign there. If you find them, they will point you to me. Cheers, Beowulf

Christian Hefenbrock has won his national title. He scored a maximum 15 points in the qualifying heats and then won the final where Martin Smolinski had engine failure. Going back to the pre season review in the Speedway star Peter Oakes said that Smolinski was a "much better quality rider" than Hefenbrock. Of course Peter, of course.

I don't disagree with that, but then that's why I mentioned the WU21 where he has beaten better riders.

Firstly, the thread is about Hefenbrock so I've stuck to it! Anyway, very few threads do not veer off at a tangent at some point. Thirdly, I made my comment to put you comment into perspective. Comprehende? I would suggest that this yam's yam's grasp of grammar is better than your's, you flea.

Funnily enough, I agree with keeping Hefenbrock over Smolinski. There is not a lot of difference in their averages, but this Smolinski's second year. Schevchenko, He didn't has much to beat here you say, but what about the World Under 21 final when he finished 3rd?

Yes I am thank you. He's had a good debut season, he's upped his starting average, and finished third in the World 21 final in addition to the above title. He's tailed off in the last few weeks probaly due to the virus he had and fatigue, but overall a success. More to come methinks.

I'm still waiting for that 650 to blow to smithereens.

And Wolves.

I am very happy with Cardiff, and I don't see why it should go anywhere else. Those of us with long memories will know that speedway was ousted from Wembley due to the FA signing an exclusive agreement. Therefore, presumably, they don't want us there, and as far as I am concerned the feeling is mutual.

You know, you really should change your username.

Yes, but it's not a patch on the old BLRC at Belle Vue. Fantastic atmosphere and racing every year. You had to buy an advance ticket to make sure of getting in!

Cheeky

As a Wolves fan present at the meeting, you don't know many fingers, toes, etc. I had crossed for Mauger to win.

As a supporter, you do not have to justify why you like or dislike a rider. You pay your money, you are entitled to an opinion.

Anyone remember Steve Lucero (Eastbourne and Wolves ) and Robert Pfetzing (Wolves and Bradford) ?

I remember reading about in the 1970 World Final ( I think at Wroclaw). In the race was Ivan Mauger and two poles. Hedge got injured at some point in the meeting (may have the first running of that race). He wasn't going to ride in the rerun. He would then have been replaced by a reserve, another Pole, so Ivan would have been up against three Poles. So Hedge went to the tapes and tootled round at the back, thus helping Ivan towards his title.

Well my first question is, which one are you Norman! As to the former rider, it looks like Bert Harkins, but I don't think he ever rode for Leicester. So over to the Leicester experts................

With all due respect to Zager, the principle of selecting riders for the GP stinks.
