  1. Where did you see him go unbeaten? I see him about seven times, the test match at Blunsdon Sweden v New Z 1973 sticks in my mind.Also beating Ashby in the helmet ( who then was in his prime ) was great he was disappointing in 1975 Wembley final but a class act no doubt.
  2. The PL again has shown what a good product they have, really enjoyed it a great win for the Diamonds a great team spirit and look a strong team even without L.L.
  3. I really like the track like you said if they could take a bit off the football pitch that would improve it enjoyable though impressed with Henry and Kerr.
  4. I know it has widely been discussed and endless good judges have all said he would of been world champ.But what a thought to think he would have been at his peak against Nielsen, PC, Lee,Penhall,Gundersen how the sport was robbed was looking through my records i think he only rode in 1 BLRC at the great Hyde Rd.?
  5. Great rider one of my fondest memories actually having the pleasure of seeing him ride.A great riding style and my memory of him beating Ashby in the helmet i will never forget it is scary that the years have gone so quickly.
  6. Again what a pathetic wind up you are! i said the GPS have been brilliant Saturday unless you watched something else was a borefest ask others don't take my word for it.The one off final was it that bad? not in my memory anyway,when you debate please remember it is not about being right or wrong engage and respect everyone,s opinion!!
  7. For me winning is not important trying to keep the match close certainly should not enter it sport can be unforgiving thats why it is special.The emphasis should be on getting the product/ Racing/entertainment better making it enjoyable.Over the years i have seen plenty of hammering,s for teams,Halifax scored 15 at Swindon i see Swindon get 19 pts at Cradley( a double header Belle Vue got 21 pts.They were not poor meeting,s though,Cradley were just to good you just stood back and were in awe of them so it is a myth that one sided matches are all poor entertainment.
  8. Couldn,t agree more it was so poor, very boring the programme got deleted on the video plus within the hour.I hope the WTC is an improvement can't complain i suppose i am not a fan of the series but apart from Saturday it has been great entertainment.
  9. I will do the same 'msc,there is no point does it matter who is right or wrong?.
  10. Crap racing i am bored stiff might be a nice place to go,racing total garbage god the WTC there as well gawd!!
  11. Going to have a little on Emil to win,with e/ way bets on Iversen and Gollob.I am worried for some reason i have a feeling Gollob might have a poor night he needs the semi minimum.
  12. Where does all the water go on top of the covers? drainage would it cope also time curfew.Be great if it did work and was viable.
  13. It's like England having a game at Wembley with the FA having absolute no say whatsoever madness.
  14. I still enjoy the read some valid points from all the other readers the lay out makes no odds to me.For me i generally get two copies because the pictures are so good i still believe 2.80 is good value.I would say i would like to see more of every bodies up to date averages to be shown more.
  15. He is saying if these guys never get a chance how will we ever know? i like Harris but i am the opposite he should have to earn it i would rather give Cook a chance and score zero oh no i better bow down because you have all the answers.
  16. Did Kevin ride in amongst, A.Hines, Squirrell, Hunt, Fines? at Foxhall i see Kevin for Scunny a very good rider i am sure Tai,s dad Rob rode that day.
  17. If you asked those riders what they did, would they say they were full time speedway riders?There are not many places going abroad and if you are a double upper you will find it hard fitting meeting,s around Britain.The problem is it is not now not riding against the better opposition it is not having the grounding from a young age.Can young Brits get to practice 3/4 days a week like the Poles and other nations.?
  18. How has Fricke done generally?i would imagine as a home track Armadale it is quite technical hard to ride for a young rider.Your side look like they are going to have a good decent season i can't remember to many poor Edinburgh teams in recent years always thereabouts,s.
  19. Woffinden this year has surprised me,i think we all knew he had a lot of talent but now it looks like it would be a major shock if he didn't get in the GP top 8.As for the English thing he was born in Scunthorpe? it is funny with the English public how we except people.In Cricket in years gone by Greig,d'oliveira,Hick,Denness,Lamb,Petersen not all of us took to them but some of us turned a blind eye because it suited England strange really.
  20. Semi professional leagues but they get paid they make a living does that not ring a bell?As for getting annihilated the old brigade of GB and the new breed they're would not be a lot of difference anyway saying that you would probably have Harris/Nicholls riding when they are 50.
  21. Are you in cookoo land or what? total rubbish it is not quite as easy to get places like that in Poland ect) it is very competetive .Cook ,Auty both of them did over 80 meeting,s last season they were hardly lazy Ritchie got injured up untill then he had been very busy.The statement you made is total crap our English lads need encouragement and help Garrity,Ellis, Jacob,s Howarth we have a few who need help.Not surprised because you are hardly keen on Birks who again is talented and he has only had 2 home meeting,s at Swindon and you were moaning. I have never ever mentioned Garrity as a starter but some of the riders with experience Harris,King,Barker, Kennett,, are not much better if at all than the ones you mentioned.Do you want to stick with Harris,Nicholls, ect) forever? you have got to rebuild sometime.As for Lee,Collins,Carter those days are long gone.
  22. Are you in reality? Cook would be second best at worst, I like Kennett,King,Barker but they have had chances.Cook ,Auty,Worrall,Garrty (ect) have not.
  23. Preben Eriksen ( a bit dirty) Georg Hack,Nigel Flatman,Tommy Johansson.
  24. But Davis did make some good points, riders like Cook, Auty,Worrall,need meeting,s abroad to improve as riders and he said a lot of them were getting no help or encouragement at all.
