What a great away win,i thought maybe being competetive and keeping it close if we get a point i would be more than happy.Some clowns on this forum doubting Rosco said getting Ward was rIsky what a joke Howarth was unlucky but we would not of got this result a month ago.Ward again was great but had a 5.1 reversal in heat 1 but he leads from example a no 1 we have not had for a few years since Leigh.!

When Tai won the title how many of us believed Emil would of gone on and won the title ?I think he would of if not for injury,but that is speedway the ups/ downs of this tough sport Tai also has had his fair share of injuries to.Ward is on par with them as a rider,but as a complete package/ team around him the jury is still out wouldnt it be great to have Tai,Emil,Darcy,Magic,young Pawlicki going for the title all at there best.

A half decent meeting tonight, Kennett,Ellis great value AJ (sublime in heat 1) he passed Ward fromt the back.Also what was really worrying was Ward i felt rode pretty average to his mega standards he scored but he made mistakes.But in the last race he was really on it , stepped up god knows how many gears this bloke is a class act.

Because you like him does not come into it,your opinion of Ward is totally blinkered and it would not be so bad if you knew the bloke personally.His background what has that got to do with it ( Lindback) TYSON had a horrific background but i did not hear to much sympathy for him branded a thug at every opportunity.It is great you like Lindback i do to but all i am saying is Ward should be judged from now on if he messes up then he will have to face the music. I respect Middlo Ove, and i think there are alot of people in speedway who would agree.The ones i know in speedway all like him so that will do for me but you know i RESPECT your view as always. -

Not really forgive one forgive the other move on what is the difference? also i will get slated for this .All this rubbish about Ward getting rid of Middlo as a part of his team helping him is total garbage. Darcy has made mistakes he made them not Middlo, Ward willl always have him as a mate and it is great that he will always look out for him.And to be honest Neil's only mistake is responding to clowns like you on twitter (ect) which is why this forum is not taken seriously by the speedway authorities. -

Unreal Lindback i like alot and i hope he gets in the series and gets back on track.It is really nice people are sympathetic towards him i am,but the crap Ward got in the last year and is still getting now in comparison to Antonio is a joke. -
Great news i hope it happens 100 pound from 1000 people, surely that is possible fingers crossed.

Thanks "brough great stuff.

TM these books you have written the ones i have named , did you do your research and know 100 per cent they would be a success or was it a risk on your part.?These riders for me are the riders i would of chosen, but i didn't realise they would be so popular and be alot of other people's choices as well.On the DVD side i wish somebody could come along and produce some of those old Screensport meetings.I loved those, a couple of meetings i would love to get are Reading v Ipswich ( Riss rode? ) and Reading v Newcastle in 84 keep up the great work.

Swindon's New Stadium
stratton replied to remembertheracers's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
'A ORLOV is that right that the old stadium cannot be touched until the new one is built.?if so that is great news.Because next year surely we will still be racing at the Abbey in March, also is this correct in the deeds from 1949 i have heard in law there has to be a sporting activivity on those grounds?.Ruling out our worst fears that the speedway/dogs would be skanked and left out to dry i hope this is true. -
Has Josh said the season is definitely over for him? if so how unlucky is that i wondered if he qualified would he try to get back for the PLRC just a thought.?
-
If Emil can get back in i believe those three with Janowski and maybe young Pawlicki they are going to boss the series for a nice few years.Ward i knew he was a talent but seeing him the other night at the abbey was awesome.If he can get set up, organise his schedule and team he has everything in my book the other night making Magic look so slow he had real speed was a real eye opener for me.
-
A very good read TM, i have enjoyed the Carter,Lee,Boocock,Jansson books all great reads great value how long did the Carter book take to do all of the research and write TM.?
-
I believe Emil/ Ward are on par with Tai the three best riders in the world for me the big difference is Tai has a title in the bag.Therefore the pressure is off Tai, he has won a title also what i like about him he is willing to lose rounds like last night doing nothing stupid and meaning he still has a nine point lead to protect.

The strongest Sam was it not MEDIOCRE ? na only kidding Arthur Forrest was a rider i have done a bit of research on what a bloody good rider he was.My uncle who first took me to speedway said he see him ride a few times was really exciting to watch.He first rode in the MEDIOCRE National league ? div 3 as a 17 year old, he scored 19 maximums out of 50 full matches.He reached five World Finals in a strong era was number three in the world in 1956 and retired at the young age of 26 why did he retire was his ability waining did he set up business somewhere his record as a rider was impressive.

I bought it on ebay about a month ago a really good read, it showed me Carter really was a real World class rider.!!

What is a funny fag WK? i have never smoked, -
Very harsh Ove,do you punish Ward forever ? or let it go and hope he does not mess up again.The GP series at the moment looks stale Tai, Emil, Ward are in my opinion the best three riders in the world why would you not want them all in it.?
-
In the first staging Gavan what did Auty do that was so bad? i thought it was a racing incident no more.All four back i felt it was the right decision,but if Auty had been excluded i would not of been surprised.Also from the inside Tungate did end up awfully wide did you not think that? or am i wrong.?
-
In some ways i can see WKs point, he like myself does not really like the GP series qualifying system a bit of a closed shop the day of a UNDERDOG having his day has long gone.Ward i am a fan, but he got a ten month ban but stopping him riding in the GP series and making him have to qualify would of really HURT him.Now if i am being honest thing's have not really hurt him, i would rather he had got a massive great fine that going towards the injured riders Ben fund.I am saying this because any real speedway fan wants Ward doing what he does best riding speedway i have to admit though he did get off lightly with his punishment.
