The White Knight

Top Russians for me would be Igor Plechanov, Boris Samorodov and Gregori Chlynovski. I would also put Greg Hancock ahead of Bruce Penhall and Sam Ermolenko for the Americans. That would be my trio of top Yanks.

Me too. :D

Was that just if he fell off???

This seems to be a recurring theme.......................................

At least I can still get my Bovril at Newcastle. :drink: The Drinking Smiley is the closest I could get to Bovril - the liquid is Black. :t: (Ooops - can I say that?)

Not a lot here for us Brits to cheer. :sad: Oh for those heady days of the '70's, 80's etc. :approve: Once we RULED the Speedway World - now we have to rely on a GIFT even to get on the top table.

R.I.P. + Tommy.

Belle Vue, Hyde Road for me. :approve:

Mike is now living on Teeside.

Anyone remember Mike Wells - a second halfer??

Anyone remember Mike Wells?

I really am sorry to say this - but - I believe that Chris Harris should be dropped from the SGP at the end of the Season. He is a GREAT Rider to watch in League Racing, the trouble is that his performances in the SGP are becoming embarassing. Personally I am tired of WILLING Chris to pass other Riders - it rarely happens. T don't know wheter the problem is Chris, his Bikes or his Team but sadly he is not competative at present. If Chris is the best we have - and I believe he is - then I can see next year there being no British Representative in the SGP. Perhaps they may give him another chance because he is British. That would not be right as it would be keeping someone out of the SGP who is capable of doing better. SELECTION BECAUSE OF NATIONALITY IS JUST PLAIN WRONG.

.............................now there's a good idea. :approve:

Thank you very much for this. I will give it a go - but maybe not tomorrow. I am hoping to attend the Meeting at Brough Park - Weather permitting - I leave early to collect my pal. Once again - Many thanks. Ian

I tried - but - I couldn't get the Streams to work properly. I am a complete numpty with Computers. :rolleyes:

B****y VIRGIN. Speedway not on THEIR Red Button. Missed EIGHT Heats - Bar Stewards. :mad: Enjoyed watching Prior in the Cricket though.

Speedway Rules are FAR too complicated for a Rolling Average Bloke like me. :rolleyes:

Spot on. :sad: :cry:

Agreed.

I think everyone should agree to disagree on this one. The subject has just about been done to death on BOTH sides of the argument.

DEFINITELY George Barclay on the outside. Can't help with the others though................................................. Sorry.

I must take issue (pun intended) with you there Humphrey - they are all EXCELLENT Issues. :approve:

Couldn't agree more - I have them both too. Where oh where is The '60's'. I hope to see the '70's' before I shuffle off this mortal coil - it's the one I REALLY want to get my hands on.

Pete Wigley is in good form and regularly attends our Sunderland Reunion.

Ooops - I was using an OLD Link. The real Site is working fine. Apologies for Posting this. Must be my age......................................................................
