Like Emil then ?common sense would be to have both in it Woffinden,Ward,Emil (no order) are the best three riders in the world in my opinion. Why WK? surely speedway wants its premier prize to have the best riders in it.?
-
w Ward will be in the 2016 GP series he has to be ?Emil,Laguta, more and likely wont be so Ward is a shoe in.!

You say Auty is a liability and dangerous a tad strong in my opinion!if so is Pedersen? is FIsher? is KIldemand ? (i have seen him at times totally out of control.I am bias i am a big fan of Auty,and i believe he should of been excluded from the first staging of the race not that he did anything badly wrong. But he mistimed his manoeuvre Auty the way he rides is hit/ miss his pass early on this year on Stead ( who had been flying) was sublime but in racing there is a risk that is why I believe Josh is such an exciting rider to watch.What i am saying Gavan is the Scunny fans no more than anyone if Josh is a liability, i think most would say not and he is a one hundred per racer no malice total 100 per cent commitment i can't ask anymore than that.

At his best i think he is certainly a top eight rider in the World.
-
Slick as a board Waihe,i think Crump struggled scored about 8 i think. I never enjoyed the racing at White City see Penhall/Bast ride in 77 see Lee win his commonwealth titles (ect) and the USA win in 82 when Autrey was only reserve.

No Daveallan will, i went Sigalos beat Nielsen from the back in the run off at White City a great day out.

I agree Gresh, the rules are a big bug bearer for me they should be simple TRANPARENT.Every club wants to win but the PRODUCT has to be the priority it is an entertainment after all. -

But Auty was left high and dry himself last year. -
Central he rode in the NL,so he had to be MEDIOCRE na only joking Central.!!!

We all knew that Sam it is not rocket science, but he did not start out as a full time BL rider did he? unlike say a Kelvin Tatum and a Jeremy Doncaster. Great post and i have been mug anough to argue to i am blue in the face against him for WHAT.?I like Witcher he adds alot to the forum and always will but can he RESPECT if somebody goes against his way of thinking?
-
At 16 Witcher,Lee averaged over 9 points a meeting he as far as i know had done just interval rides aged 14/15 around Lynn and some training tracks some up north as well.He averaged 9 because he was exceptional so was Collins Carter they did great also.Those three did not post averages like Louis,P.Crump, Sansom, in the old div 2 why? because it was hard.Those three were ambitious wanted to move up and to be fair Littlechild/. Crane, Oliver,Boothroyd all great speedway men mapped there careers out for them.The majority of the good riders in the old NL DID not move up, they stayed doing what there comfort zone told them also why not they were loved and made a decent living riding at certain clubs.

Doctor take a pill have a kip mate,what is wrong with Rochdale? been there once to see the footie.
-
I remember going to Edinburgh and seeing Swindon just win that was not a cakewalk.
-
I would say tyler put you right on Maxfield Owen ( ect averages also Yeates up to now has achieved more than the riders you named by reaching the overseas final.Did you see that BRiTiSH FINAL line up supplied by Tyler even you have to acknowledge it was a very good line up.Give Witcher a text and maybe you could tell him about some of the riders because he is struggling 1990 onwards is his game. Right about what? you ent got a scoobies clue about the subject you are ranting about.
-
A championship meeting it was like Rochdale beating Man Utd , the underdog come through have a look at the line up Tyler supplied.Oops why bother you would not know who half the riders were also i never EVER said that the NL was not inferior to the BL but i do know it was not a Mediocre league full of OAPs
-
I only went to Bristol twice, the first meeting the big Daily Mirror meeting ( the track was sandy) and against Swindon both had brilliant gates the Mirror meeting had a huge crowd.

Why can't they go and do there business elsewhere a sh...y business. -
Bit of a TIP!!! i went there alot and i really enjoyed the racing the shape was decent and racing great unless it was a dust bowl slick.I remember in 1980 when Reading were champions, i went there and the Robins won i can remember there being a massive scuffle with Briggo and Steve Gresham.This after Tony Briggs was brought down by Milan Spinka, Gresh got the blame great days they were.
-
This post is a very good one, very interesting indeed, i tell you what that British Final was a half decent final a great achievement by Yeates as a NL rider to qualify.I can also remember seeing Wiggy ride in the 1982 british Final as a NL rider,acquitted himself well and went on and have a great career still missed.!. It was only div 2 " Norbold" so it had to be easy, Na only joking a great rider how great it is in sport to still have a chance for the underdog.I wish it still applied now, at one time every rider could have his dream and enter the WC those days have gone.
-
Yes that Reading side was a good one in 73,Michanek, Leigh, Lovaas , Curtis,Bell,May, ( Murray,McNeil,Millen filled in i think for the retired Geoff Mudge. Manager Bob Radford.

Maybe they could deliver your dinner and a programme and you could enjoy your dinner and the match from your balcony.! -
ARROGANT is the word me old mucker, and if you had EVER seen the product you PREACH about i would take your opinion more seriously.I don't you guess alot, i said six people plus me all of them have seen quite alot of the old NL action more than you and SCB ever have (ie both of you as far as i know never see a live Old NL meeting? The subject is about debate your point is not FACT just your MEDIOCRE opinion.!!!
-
Are you piss.. or what ?when you debate it is a opinion only in every post you make you say it is FACT.I say the league was not easy,you say it was Dogs.... OPINION that all it is but as we know you HAVE to be right at any cost sad really.Four people disagree with you on this thread, i spoke to three people last night they said you were out with the Fairies seven people hardly a overwhelming case for you don't you think? Please SCB you are talking ? that GP is a fa cup type meeting ninth best in the world right.Do your RESEARCH see what rounds Yeates got through and the level of rider he got through on merit.
