oldtimer 340 Posted August 31, 2008 In a well known speedway mag 2 weeks ago, it was stated that Dave # Name Removed # the England team manager said he had no intention in taking riders away from their club commitments. It was also said that Tai Woffindons dad also wanted his son to ride for Rye when this date clashes with the 3rd Test Match at Somerset. I wonder if the Aussie Team Manager, who I believe is Boycie will have the same view. If he does it would mean Jason Doyle missing the first Test Match as Somerset are away at Reading, and also Chris Holder missing, Poole away at Peterborough. Doyle could also be missing at the Swindon Test Match as Somerset are away to Sheffield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suzuki star 882 0 Posted September 1, 2008 Surely the whole point of a test match is to use each country's best riders. They must be able to arrange it when it does'nt affect club meetings. It's pointless if you don't use your best riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is when sides really need to be putting out the best team they can. Having to use RR or guests is just not the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulco 7,079 Posted September 1, 2008 Surely this series would have been better contested in Australia . With no league speedway to compete with it could be a cracking 5 meeting series over there . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree it could be run before or after the Aust Title to see a England v Aust test match in Ozz would be a crowd puller for sure maybe next year?
