Was you watching speedway at Swindon when Fin Thompson was ther ?

Sidney, how do you think Olsen would have done in the GP format ? I dread to think how good Mauger would have been in the GP format!

Hancock what an amazing career and still at the top of his game. I personally have never found him the most exciting rider, for me the most stylish rider was Olsen for a tall guy was so smooth and was breathtaking from the back in the 70's.

Hi Philip well I believe Pedersen works so hard with his sponsors and his personal fitness and I applaud him for that. My all time favourite professional I would have to say was Mauger, took speedway to a new level.

Sad news indeed, I remeber Lew helping Sean Willmott in school boy grass track when Willmott was pre team. RIP

Regarding Middleditche's comments on social media, he is old enough and should be wise enough to keep his thoughts to himself, he has done himself no favours. Mind Woffinden last year who was the current world champion at the time should never have made the comments he did on social media about Pedersen, I am a big Tai fan. Regarding Pedersen arguably is the most professional rider at present time.

Well Gavan regarding Ward's fitness I have no idea how hard he works at that, but he does do the Polish, the Swedish EL, the Gp's and the WTC. To my knowledge I have never heard Ward moan about being tired or taking too much on. Even Tai as fit as he is was doing the same amount of leagues as Ward yet Woffinden had to take time out last year as he had taken too much on. So there can't be much wrong with Ward's fitness. My only criticism of Ward's racing - he can over ride at times, at times I have seen him riding a league match like you would think it was a GP final. I think this is why he falls off so often, he reminds me a lot like Loram, IMO Loram wether it be a GP or a league match would always give you 200%, and that's why we all loved him.

Hi David Regarding your wanted programmes, I am a big collector of programmes, I suggest you go onto ebay and look for a seller called urkocollector who is always selling programmes on ebay, and send him a message for your want list. I find this guy most helpful. Kind regads Marcus

So looking forward too going

The point that I am making his previous charges are water under the bridge, there is no point in raking up the past. I am not sure what ever the outcome of the breathe test wether he will re-affend in some way or another. Its plain and simple he obviously needs help, but lets just hope and pray that he can sort his life out and do what hes best at entertaining us on a speedway bike. He is an amzing talent and it would be sad if all this went to waste.

Middleditch clueless my be in legal terms but not as taking Poole to elite league champions! and this is coming from not a Poole supporter! Holder you are now putting under fire! whos next!!!!!!!!

I wish you would use a little more decorum I find your post disgraceful

What can you tell us!!! This is doing my head in!!!

But its fact!!!

It seems that all Ward's problems stems from when he joined Poole, when he burst on the scene at Kings Lynn at tender 16 year old I don't ever recall there being a problem. So maybe Buster Chapman should be credited for that! Thats why I am so pleased that young Rob Lambert is under Rob Lyons and Chapman, he could not be at a better place.

Highest ever bl average? don't ask me why but I have got in my head that Michanek had the highest average in 1973, but I may be wrong.

Well said, i hope so to

Yes, Mark was such a fine exciting rider

Please read my post correctly I stated that Ward HOPEFULLY will have learnt his lesson!!

Yes I am totally aware of this

Lets hope by this time next week it will all be sorted out and Ward hopefully will have learnt his lesson and back riding again entertaining us supporters on the terraces up and down the country
