stratton replied to stratton's topic in Years Gone By

Why didnt you respond to FALCACE? his post was spot on.Ask him did he think screen was 20 TIMES MORE GIFTED than carter and you did say that didnt you impartial one.Or are you going to change your mind. -
Speedway Gp In Tatters !
stratton replied to Midland Red's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Great points,i agree totally about inept facillities poor stadia when the leagues were doing well the investment was not forth coming.Im not against the series i watch and enjoy some of it but league racing i prefer personally.Answers i dont say that i no really what they are for the long term.myself maybe look into a squad situation ie] then maybe the quality Crump, holta,jonsson, ect might race the odd night hear and there and raise the level again. -

I Totally agree,is there many people on hear that agree with you?i think it has nearly run its course if it is to survive and prosper it defenitely needs a revamp.Parsloes was crucified on here about the status quo but he is right.I hate it that are league speedway is aloud to suffer and been aloud to go to the dogs.This illusion that gpseries is brilliant ive never thought this and speedway hasnt proggresed as WHOLE because of it. -

I think you are on to a loser impartial one,maybe if you had picked someone else other than Carter.Like others have said Carter,in speedway terms was a novice no grounding really second halves 1 year at Newcastle.Bang a star was born, at the time wasnt really a fan but realise now how good he was today he would have a field day.Different league to the likes of Nicholls,Woffinden, ect] -
Crump and Sanders Both great riders, always i think there was a tension .But they got on i think respect at the end of the day ,You can never dispute they were great Both great riders.

Think it was 1980, at smallmead the robins won 40.38 Stevie Gresham got blamed for bringing Briggo junior off i am sure it was Milan Spinka,s fault.Briggo senior wernt happy and he and Gresh had a scuffle.Me myself i wudnt want to mess with Stevie G ,that year and the year after Gresham and Holloway had a great partnership for the robins could beat anyone as a partnership.

See alot of the Adams Crump battles brilliant, thoes two had total trust in each other none of them would stick each other to race at there level must of been great.Adams to me was a world champion, brilliant rider style well awesome.Adams and Crump two awesome riders, lucky to see them ride.By the way see Phil Crump ride every week he was awesome too quiet bloke was so privileged to see him ride every week.

I think its a good idea be great to have a gp in the week wont happen thou.Sky will not want to clash with premiership and champion leagues football.Funny thing is sometimes by having it on a saturday affects the crowd i think because of so much going on. -

How long have you been watching speedway 2 minutes ?THE KNOW by the sound of it you KNOW nothing.By the way if things go backwards anymore you wont have speedway to watch.
