  1. Gregs a fantastic gater but he also stays in front 90% of the time and that's not easy when the worlds best are on your tail.Worthy World Champion at 45 years old.
  2. Is he not Saying that as JS had not achieved an average by May1st he will be given his real average if the Team is re-declared,thus reducing what you have to play with.
  3. I stand corrected ,who was the main man 1992 was that when Mike Hope became involved or was it still Lindon ,my memory is fading I'm afraid. Mark Courtney was class,Fairbairn told him to stop messing about with his machinery and he was fantastic.The 15pt maximum at Powderhall was one of the best away performance I have witnessed.
  4. I personally though the best racing was when they went 1st Division,the top men rode it much better IMO .Like you say small tracks make it look a it better because of the closeness of the riders.
  5. Dont think Younghusband was ever a Promoter,Team Manager yes.Could be wrong about his involvement .Chris Morton was Team Manager at one point.
  6. Sad,but I have to agree with you and Ithink a few others would too.
  7. Need to do more than that before you can comment on a Berwick thread
  8. 7-9miles rough guess on the road awkward to get too.Sure I will be corrected if wrong.
  9. Do not see anyone tarring Taylor's or Fairbairn with the same brush as Lindon,I do agree that the loss of Ian Graham was massive blow at the time to Berwick Speedway and was probably the main reason that Davy Fairbairn decided to get out of the sport.Ian devoted a lot of time to his beloved Bandits and look after a lot of other riders business, and was a true gentleman.He will never be forgotten by Bandit supporters who knew him.
  10. Palovaara beat Vaculik and Andreas Jonsson in different races in Sweden last week then was last in his 2 reserve races!! Well worth persevering with IMO
  11. Here's my take on Berrington.I was told that it was modelled on Mildenhall for size and shape.Considering the amount of land they had I feel if the straights had been 10-15 Mtrs longer it would have been perfect.there was some great meetings at Berrington and when we went 1st Division the racing move up a notch with the Top Men showing how it is done.Pity Terry Lindon was just a con man.I witnessed the facts that Taffy alluded to with Scott Lamb and Knight being payed there wages in petty cash in a bag!!! Of coins.It was a pity that it was so far of the beaten track as I'm sure it would have attracted more support if it was easier to reach with public transport.It was a good little set up though a really neat and tidy considering where it was.Wonder how much my share are worth now!!!!!!!!!.Away to get a financial Times.! Ps The training track was very seldom used IMO ,it was just a small circle scraped out at the back of the 1st /2nd bend.
  12. It's a TOTAL farce in my view,but it's probably 50/50 in blame game stakes,Havvy certainly didn't give any indication that they had NOTHING to do with track prep.he actually praised Terry (whoever that is) for getting the track into shape.Watching on Tele fans probably did not realise how bad the weather was till they saw Tatum getting blown away when the cameras switch to him.
  13. I am afraid the Go speed statement is nothing but a Fairy Story,they think they can treat the fans like mugs.
  14. If they are going to start cancelling 48hrs before the event speedway is in a lot of bother.If Promoters follow suit we will be lucky to see a meeting.
  15. What a load of Boll#cks,trying to cancel 48 hrs before event,If you believe that you will believe anything.Honest Guv nothing to do with us!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. I remember him winning the Scottish Open Championship in 1965 at Old Meadowbank,a very neat and stylish rider.
  17. Janowski is the real deal ,totally in control and stylish.Lambert a lucky lad hope he is Ok,improving all the time IMO ,at least he gives it 100% .
