Are you sure he could not gate?

Gustix going on to another subject ,were Farndon,Huxley, and Duggan unlucky not to be world champions ?going through my research and people i respect taking there view Duggan certainly was what do you think? also Bobbath,and Norbold ( not his hole!!) great historians awesome knowledge all of you nice to hear what your take is on it.Duggan my uncle said he was mustard, after the war the photos i have of him he looked like an old man but his racing style awesome up there with Olsen/ Mauger in that respect.

Jack i think Gavan could of been on something when he made that comment,Loram had a great career and would be in my top 10 riders ever for excitement.Also he did very well to win the world Title in a tough era, a mega achievement but then the GP system was flawed saying that everyone knew the rules before the series began.

Kilb used to count 123 and go i think? no he did his research on the refs and he was gone the best gater i have ever seen along with Mauger.

Wouldn't that be great SCB if those riders you named rode in this country, great stuff it won't ever happen though the GP series rules the roost along with Sweden/Poland i am even surprised Holder/Ward do the EL to be honest.

My Six thing's i would liked changed. 1./go back to the old touch the tapes rule( add to the drama) 2. One Brit in the 1/5. 3.One draft English rider only at reserve ( he would more and likely change in the order with the other Brit in the top five??) 4. No double points ride. 5. Have a league season top of the league team WINS the league Brum did that the other year with a top four play/off scenario and a FA cup basis system drawn out of a hat. 6. riders in second / third place in BP positions to be rewarded a little money wise? the art of team riding is dying out of the sport. waiting to be SHOT down.!!

I would love it if that happened add to the drama, today some races seem to take forever to start.

There was that one time where the late great John Berry was mentioned to totally revamp british speedway i am convinced he would of done a great job.Now major change in this country will never happen ,not in my lifetime anyway would maybe communicating with the speedway public getting there views and ideas be a start.?

Dont forget my programme??

But you can still reflect on how you lost the support the loyal supporter over the years the stupid rules have played a massive part.

If Swindon were in the same position i would be willing to pay 20 pound a week rather than 17 i am sure others would do as well.I know it does not solve the problem but new supporters are not going to appear out of the woodwork overnight.I also have no idea what the answer is,back to Scunny would they consider EL ?i don't know what the sky money is would that capital help.I know they would need a couple of riders to be competitive more exspense but fingers crossed Scunny survive it would be a disaster if we lost them.

How he won that race god knows Dave, he hated Exeter his record there was dire thanks he won alot of races by not being Quick track craft helped him alot.

How good City PL riders? What do you think.

And retire at the age of 55 probably, not that i have anything against them i know a few they are decent people.

Thanks Dave again,great stuff. Sorry to be a pain again have you the time of heat 8 Holloway won at Exeter in 84 ( he hated Exeter beat the late Frank andersen i think? ) Exeter v Reading Mauger who rode home meeting's only thanks Dave !

Wouldnt't it be good if both turned out to to be at least minimum PL riders i think they will be certainly. Sommeiler a guy i respect bigtime has told me endless times he has seen a bit of the Eastbourne bloke BWD and he rates him good anough for me.Also Zak has made huge strides this year hope both go on and do well.

Dave have you the scorecard for the Poole v Reading fixture in 1984 i think? Michael Lee v Shawn Moran golden helmet match race i went but am missing about six heat times thankyou.!

This club is a special one i followed them in the Mckinlay,Big Arthur,Phil White teams they were mainly weak but i enjoyed watching them never at Scunny mostly away tracks Milton Keynes Oxford ( ect).The promoter is a good Un,really cares about things the track is awesome deserves a BRITISH FINAL hope things work out for Mr Godfrey.

Thanks Racers keep putting the meeting's on brilliant in Cyprus at the moment watched both meeting,s how good was Laguta ?awesome how the GP series and the public are missing out with him and Emil plus both the Pawlicki brothers.

"Dun Robin"/Orion on Thursday i was around a few people who like you said were adamant they did not want changes that surprised me.In a way that was great for me loyalty to the riders i like all of the seven we have in the team.Howarth has really surprised me a true top five rider now he has been excellent Zengi, Charles, Nick, have been good all year.Lewis i have alot of time for and for me we have not got the worst reserves in the league.Ward i am happy with can we fit Kurtz in? if not Pawlicki in making our top five really strong but Ward could push us to the play/offs away wins needed.Also hopefully making the club a few quid through the turnstiles?would you two welcome Ward? what is your take what scenario would you want.?

A strange one for me i watched it while on my way to Cyprus, Cardiff not my sort of track but i thought the event was tremendous.The track looked smooth and there was some nick and tuck racing but i can't say i enjoyed the meeting as such.Chuffed for Puk like Arson i have backed him alot but could not be bothered this time Tai also did a great job.I see the interview with Tai beforehand and he does such a great job for speedway a real credit Kildemand surely showed us he has to be a fully fledged GP rider.Fourty odd thousand is that a poor gate? i expected more to be honest those gates we had at Wembley were gates we could only dream of nowadays.

Thanks for that Racers just finished work and watching it cheers.

I listen to talksport everyday and Tai came across great, on that station they try to give other sports coverage Tai did alot of good for the sport today

Fair play to CVS not easy to get new riders in but fair play him being honest with the Wolves fans.

Thanks for your help "Ghostwalker, i love Eskilstuna i hope i can make one of those meeting's if i can get time off work
