I didn't know that Brian Clough and Michael Portillo used to be a speedway riders

I'm pretty sure he had a spin after the meeting at Oxford last night

This is the problem with not being able to pick the rider the manager thinks is best to be number 1 some riders just don't like or suit being a number 1 but are forced to ride there by the rules

It’s difficult, at home I would say Lawson is probably most suited to No 1, but away, I would disagree and say Iversen is probably most suited. Don’t get me wrong Niels doesn’t win as many races as he used to do, but you don’t see him run a lot of last places also.

I do wonder if they will struggle to get six teams next year though Mike, anyone moving up really would have to be insane or have £100-£200k they would be happy to set fire to. I love the game live to far away from a track now used to go to Lynn when we had Loram and Lofquist at reserve and Henka turned up brilliant days, things were on the decline then even but we really are on the last knockings now sadly.
