No AJ that makes the Swedes even easier to beat, really starting to fancy our chance in this event.

Ron was an Aussie if I remember rightly.

I think that I would keep the team as it, no need to change it, Nicholls and Harris pick themselves, add Rico who has a brilliant record in the WTC, and we hav a good top three. Because he is in good form this season I don't think that you can ignore Eddie Kennett, the main worry is Super Simon Stead, I am massive fan of his but his form seems to have dipped lately, but he is more experienced than Ollie Allen, so I would keep Ollie at reserve.

What about John Davis, Denis Sigalos, John Cowboy Cook, Jim Airey, Kai Neimi, Mitch Babyface Shirra.

I think that the key to this side is Lee Richardson, who over the years has rode well for Team GB, even though his form has not been great. Maybe the reason for putting David Howe at reserve is that we have a rider on form at the moment who can come in and take over anyone who is not on form. As for his performance as the wildcard on Saturday iI thought that David Howe did really well.

Got to say that I find the fact that David Howe at reserve a surprise, with Kennett not too hot around Brandon, Steady just back from injury, surely Howe was worthy of a full place.

I will admit that I thought it was to soon for him, and have been eating the alphabet spahgetti ever since. Long Live the King Bomber Harris.

Asked by a workmate if I had been to Cardiff, the guy said how much he had enjoyed the racing on Sky, he is going to take himself and his Missus of to Sheffield to watch the speedway.

Just got in from Cardiff, still wet from the rain going back to the coach, but what a magical performance from the man from Truro, you had a feeling all night that he was going to do somwthing that was a bit special, and man did he produce it, and he did it not by getting out of the gate first, but pure speedway racing. I have come away from Cardiff proud of all our boys, all of them have have booked there places for the World Cup team, and yer know what I reckon we can do it, after that performance tonight from Bomber we fear nobody. Well done Bomber and thank you for make all us Brit Speedway so very very proud.

Reg was a good rider, but I would not put him into one of the top entertainers.

Have to agree with the fact I too cannot understand how you could miss Shawn Moran of the list.

Bob did pay a visit to Sheffield last season, cannot remember what he said he was doing at the time.

Like I say I can only go back to 77, and for four season up to 80 Doug rode number 1.

Of course, but I started to go on a regular basis from 77 onwards and for those four season Doug rode number 1.

Nice to hear that he is doing ok, I remember before that he 1978 said he fancied a move to Sheffield, unfortunately the move never came off. I would have loved to have seen him turn out for the Tigers.

Tigerblade I agree with as far as I am aware Doug rode the number 1 slot from 77 to 79.

I can only remember Doug riding number 1, I definately don't remember him riding at number 3 or 5.

I do seem to remember him having garage in Sheffield, some years ago, although I don't think that he has it now, I think that near to the Sheffild United football ground.

Had he never heard of E bay.

Yes I do, I rememeber one person asked if John Davis was a bottle blonde or a natural blonde.

Thanks.

That is how I would call it.

But will Middlo look at it that way, I have this funny feeling that he won't.

But he might just choose Eddie, to be honest he owes Steady after the big mistke he made in the World Team Cup last season when he dropped Simon in favour of Chris Louis.
