    Prime candidates for the best ever Div2 side definately, but Cradley '83 will take some beating for BEST EVER

    Very true, trouble was the rest got 13 between them if i remember rightly!!

     

    I thought it was 14 but you may be right. Whichever it was, hardly any other member of the Swindon team beat a Cradley rider all night. Now if there was a topic on the best one man team ever......

     

    You're spot on it was 14.

     

    Crump 15

     

    Andersson 6

    Busk 5

    No doubt... CRADLEY 1983

    1. Simon Wigg(8.86)

    2. Lance King(8.74)

    3. Erik Gundersen(10.18)

    4. Alan Grahame(8.69)

    5. Phil Collins(7.98)

    6. Peter Ravn(7.97)

    7. Jan O Pedersen(6.78)

    League and Cup winners, Midland Cup winners

     

    Without doubt the best team I've ever seen too, and probably ever will. Phil Crump scored a maximum against them though!

    I think Frigbo can look after himself and if people choose to take his post the wrong way then that's their problem.

     

    Thank you ML

     

    After all this is a Speedway Discussion Forum

     

    In my defence here, this was the point I was trying to make :!: apologies for not wording it better :oops:

     

    No probs Shazzy, sorry if i was a bit spikey in my response!

    Thing is Crumpie in his pomp wpuldn't have even sniffed at a 6 point average.

     

    But thats all they expected from him so i dont class it as a failure.

     

    That is very true but did Crumpie really need to scratch around for half a dozen points when 9+ was his norm at his best??

     

    People new to the game would have thought Crumpie only an adequate rider and not the legend he is!

    Phil Crump for Swindon in '92

     

    Didnt think he did that badly, he came back 6 years after he retired and scored a 6+ average in the BL

     

    Bob Kilby in 83 was pretty bad if you ask me.

     

    Thing is Crumpie in his pomp wpuldn't have even sniffed at a 6 point average.

     

    Killer in '83 did struggle badly and seeing Ashby not only at reserve but for Reading as well was a travesty!!

    We all know that some riders love the game and find it hard to let it go.

     

    Who are those riders that have either kept racing too long and been a pale shadow of their former selves, or have made ill-advised comebacks??

     

    Phil Crump for Swindon in '92 and Eric Boocock at Halifax in '83 are two that spring readily to mind, who do you recall???

    Anders is not in the life anymore :cry:  

     

    But the only time I have been at Plough Lane back in 1981 spring Dons v Sheffield He was in the reserve spot, and Malcolm Simmons, Dave Jessup was in the team also. 44-34 to the dons.

     

    Stefan Salomonsson was a very good teamrider. Allways take points and a very important rider to have in a team.

     

    Very sad to hear Anders Eriksson has passed away, when did this happen??
