stratton

I can remember the 1983 test there i have two races on disc i believe Neil Collins was the hero in the last race coming in as a reserve.

I can remember the meeting Lee as a 16 year old riding for Boston and scoring 6 pts he was right on the pace i have the programme.On you tube there is great footage of a Collins v Lee race at the 1978 golden jubilee meeting at Hyde Rd one of the best races i have ever seen. This followed PCs win over Tony Davey for the Golden Helmet great days.

I hope Peterbough do ok ER,i have had the odd snipe at peterborough Batchelor, NKI (ect) i hope they do well great track, and that track at its best is exciting love them to do well.

What do you think ER ? do you think it is an exciting side i like the two reserves what do you think for there hopes for the season.?

In a way Gustix" it is best to cherish admire how good these riders were in THERE time.I can always remember something that Fred Davis ( snooker his brother was arguably the best?) said!.And Fred was someone i admired he ( reached a WC at the age of 64 his words were great players could compete in any ERA that statement is what I go on Farndon for example would be in the mix in any era class always comes through.

A really good post you are so right, i was so fortunate like yourself like ER and TWK to see Collins and Lee ride certainly at they're best.Collins they're is no doubt in my mind he was the BEST ever rider i see that could pass.He missed the gate but so what as someone else said he picked lines that not many other riders would pick.At Hyde Rd at times it was embarrassing Collins would be behind but you knew he would conjure something up.

Gavan you have your bit of banter,and i cannot disagree and you seem to want what is best for speedway.It is nearly the start of the season the NZ GP coming up what do you hope Ward does?.And what do you exspect him to achieve say in the next couple of years if he was not crowned champion by then would you say he has failed himself.?

I would disagree ER, saying that you know your stuff, i think PC riding at HYDE RD loved it he knew he could gate poorly and still pick riders off.THe main reason he loved the track he had every confidence in the fairness of the track and it was fair. I believe.Lee is the quickest rider if not one of the quickest riders i have ever seen he beat Crump easily 2.1 in the helmet in 84 and beat Phil half a straight Crump was a class rider then too.

How dare you! what a disgraceful post no wonder the country is going to the dogs.Seriously though i hope you have got that off your chest got to laugh at you poor little love.! For someone who is illiterate in your opinion ( that means f. k all to me )i don't think i have done to badly in life paid my mortgage off in 2003 and will be retiring when i am 55.Lets be honest "Oldace " you are not the brightest spark in the world are you? when you actually debate on your own you are decent fun the rest of the time well no comment.

If you only listened to others opinions with respect ( i could not give a hoot what you think of mine ) the way you talk down to people seriously peeves me the shame of it is you don't even realise you do it and with respect don't tell me to shut up!

What a saddo you are, the bloke has done nothing wrong since that motorbike incident yet you still cane him wanting him to slip up again sad really.

Was his last episode before the start of our season last March YES or NO? Since then unless he has farted in the wrong place he has done nothing wrong i await your answer with interest.

The best thing you can do is give us a break from your i know best on every subject take a deep breath and give your ass a chance. Total crap you judge but know NOTHING. How arrogant are you BWitcher, have you ever made mistakes YES or NO simple anough question for you.?

Na Gorton can't agree, and who is this TWK bloke? Is he Stevie Wonder? no only joking WK a massive supporter of PC a great rider i rated him and admired him.I was not a fan god knows why because he give more excitement to the sport than anyone great rider nice bloke.

Thanks "Oldace" have a lovely day.! Steve i always believe within reason wipe the slate clean last year what did he do wrong? nothing that i can remember.For me he was excellent for TV come across well promoting the sport.I just hope he progresses this year maybe it might take him a few years to be champ(it took Crumpie that Tony see to that ) but he will get there i am sure.

I opologise but i still meant every word.

What a shame plenty of time to catch up, enjoy your speedway.

No the oldest ass lic...!!

Cant wait to give you a nudge at Kilb,s meeting we can have a nice chat.

All i have said was it was an excellent contribution,and like yourself are excellent value on the forum long may it continue.

No all i said was it was an excellent post and like yourself you have given us alot of enjoyment keep it up.!

A well thought out contribution.!

Because you, Bewitcher,Blazeaway are joined at the hip all licking each others asse,s add Orion to that and you have the fabulous four.!!!

Sad B..ard . again as usual you offer nothing to the debate bye! Total crap.

"gustix" i believe that most of us want to see the best win and he is among a few and the bloke can put bums on seats whether you are a fan or not.The era he is in,he has some tough opposition at least six who have a realistic chance of being WC.Tai is the key for me can he rediscover the same form as last year? he has every chance.But often as thing,s change on the mechanical technical side just one little advantage here and there could swing it towards any of those six also luck (injury) pays a huge part also.
