I could not disagree on White City "Oldace,both had good records there also PC was better than Lee at Wembley( not one of his better hunting grounds).I did not see Craven ride but going by what my uncle told me listening to others opinion,s and the record he for me has to be no 1.Also who is to say he would not of won another world title he would of had a hell of a chance if he had not been robbed of his life.All in all PC and Lee had great careers still, Lee alot of his problems were down to him but he crammed alot in from 1975-83.Collins was very unlucky as i believe he was robbed of at least another three years at the top after having that crash on that unraceable Cradley track as at the time he was still a big force.

Yes "Arson i hate doing Eway as a rule, but i fancy Iversen to have a great series again.Ward we all know what he is capable of dont you think it is better to have an opinion on individual rnds Arson? because really the prices over the long haul are very tight.

But Lee,s overall record at the Shay was not great i think he scored 13 from 5 for Poole there Baker beat him.Also i recon he only rode there about 7 or 8 times (if that? in his career i would fancy PC at Halifax.I think PC would beat Lee at Belle Vue, Sheffield, as well but Lee i would fancy at King,s Lynn,White City,Coventry,Swindon, Leicester and Hackney.

Good point eaces1,i have done NKI Eway again the same as last year and Ward to win it not large stakes.

In that field i think it is poor value to be honest, Ward,Tai, NKI and Emil all have equal chances with Holder and Hampel having a squeak to.?

Granted at HYDE RD,!!, anywhere else 6/10 Mike wins.??

Oldace, BWitcher and Orion how sad are you lot its embarrassing.Funny thing is when there is decent thread on here and people have a debate you three are never involved i wonder why? PATHETIC.

I don't support the Pirates and if Ward keeps fit he is capable of beating Tai anytime. Not a rant just putting you right you need telling are you trying to get a reaction? to be honest i could not care less what you think.

Better go and hang him then eh.!

My view is i don't know the bloke, neither do you so what gives you the right to sit there all high and mighty.Have you made mistakes in your life ? whatever level whatever scale.I can see why Middlo got got so p..... off on twitter the likes of you sitting there as judge and jury.If you can convince me that you have never made a mistake in your life then you might then sway me.So forget the past as far as i know he has not done anything wrong lately me being a Christian i was brought up to give everyone a SECOND chance are you willing to do that.?

The biggest thing he needs to do is to be happy with himself before the series kicks off.Everybody is different in there opproach,for me to try and stay injury free that involves having a bit of luck along the way.If he has not learned something off of Jason i will be astonished and how i would love Jason to be in his corner full time that would be awesome.Jason reminds me of Darcy in a way,because when Jason was starting out he was no every bodies cup of tea i could never quite understand why that was the case.Ward his biggest hindrance i believe is that he wants to win every race, this is not always possible decision making playing the percentages then come into it if he gets that part right he won't be miles away.

What a pathetic comment about making mistakes,i don't know a human being who has not made one EVEN YOU? maybe not.! I do agree with concentrating on his riding and enjoying his skill on a bike for as long as he rides.

He has every chance ER,but i feel his chance now has gone but he certainly has the class to do it.

Has it been a continuous trait of his to behave like this? come on cut a bit of slack eh.Have you ever made mistakes? have you any skeletons in your cupboard maybe you have maybe you haven't but that's my point who am i to judge. Some people? and lets be honest those people don't matter. Most people i speak to speak highly of him, i don't know him personally and ie) my take is live and let live.

Tai before last year was no ultra professional was he?before he was playing at the game.Great ability i know that but this year as most defending champions over the decades have found defending it is a different pressure we shall see.Also your pathetic comment on most people have not made the same mistakes did he ever murder anybody? in your life have you not ever made mistakes? (Silly question of course not).

What puzzles me is there are a percentage of people who snipe and have a dig at Ward.Ok he has made a few mistakes who hasn't even yourself?.For me everytime i have seen Ward ride i have gone home thinking god that bloke has entertained me Poole fans watching him ride everyweek are very lucky indeed.Also i have noticed with Ward he is decent with the fans autographs photos ( ect) this bloke along with TAI ,NKI ,and Holder are the flag bearers of our sport.Make the most of him when he is around he is one bloke who is worth the 17 pound admission fee.

I think ER he is destined to be at tops a rostrum man can't see him ever winning it.

Why? Talent wise he is well up there,saying that i think he has always been professional always turned up and put on a show wherever ok he has made a few mistakes god we all have haven't we in our lives.Lee and Ward are the most natural riders i have ever seen both mega ability when?Ward wins his first the hardest he will win a few more i believe a bit like Jason.

A big shout "phillipsr" i think you are pretty spot on that's my prediction i think NKi will be in the three minimum.

I agree WK he was a winner !he was such a talent and i was so bias with Lee and with the older PC and Mort.I heard on Lee,s DVD he was always wary of Carter.A bit scared even though he did very well against Carter head to head destroyed him 4.0 in the helmet he i knew held him in high regard because he said he was was always quick and and a winner.

If he excepts certain situations maybe excepts a semi final now and again but moves on to the next round he has a mega chance.I believe his overall talent will prevail NKI the danger.!

Did you rate Carter WK ?i did a terrific rider great value exciting in a way today's Ward but does his cv achievements say that. Funny thing is he would of been a force for at least another five years minimum another one at there best, could beat Gundersen and Hans.

I was a fan Bruiser bigtime more than anyone, but know way can he be ranked above Simmo also they're is a case that Louis achieved more.Carter was a talent i enjoyed watching him very much better than Simmo no in my book.

oops thanks Wk! what an idiot unraceable it was that night for three hours up the motorway it P.... Down before we got there god knows how it was on.

Thanks WK,my memory not so good as yours getting old! i have looked up in a few of my old scrapbooks he did Curtis have blue leathers.I only see Curtis ride twice once in a double header SwIndon v Sheffield and v Reading 1973 those two teams were one and two in the league.WK did you see Curtis ?maybe against your beloved Sunderland or the Diamonds.?
