  1. Well done Zach a great result just hope he stays at Swindon for the long haul.
  2. Totally agree WK great when the new leathers came in, everyone was different all having there own identity .Broady for example whatever Kevlers/ Overalls/ leathers he wore you would reconise him because of his style (how did he not get his leg run over?)😜 Saying that i did not mind the old black leathers i just think the team ephic characters and just enjoying the racing has gone out of it now . And the WIN at all costs culture is here to stay for me being entertained comes way before winning by a long chalk.
  3. No Hansen mate? he put up a good show in the 21s last year and for me that is a good guide on how good he could be.?
  4. Would be great and if teams did not have a curfew something well worth looking at.
  5. Styles have changed over the years and these few riders had there own identity Broady Swindon, Pete Smith Poole. Nigel Sparshott Kings Lynn, Simmo, Leigh Adams.
  6. Belle Vue have a very good Colts team and for Anders to go there on his first visit and be on the pace was great stuff.For Belle Vue you need to have good aquipment and to go from riding Kent to riding Belle Vue is a bit of a culture shock completely different.I was thinking for those younger lads to get to ride that great racetrack must be such a thrill one of the reasons you get into speedway.
  7. Why would you want a squad system and more expence ? Britain cannot afford it now this league is struggling.Why not pick a 1/7 have conviction in your team and unless there are injuries stick with it.Poole as an example need to forget the worrying about team selection and concentrate on getting the product right (ie) the entertainment on the track.
  8. But he didnt do to bad 14 seasons on the trott in British speedway he has my respect anyway.
  9. I only saw Ronnie ride four times Steve the last time in 1973 in the New Zealand v Sweden test match at the Abbey Mauger,Briggs,Moore,Michanek,T and B Jansson Lofqvist,Sjosten, and a young Gary Petersen rode great line up.
  10. Young Anders Rowe having a good evening so far at the superb Belle Vue venue a future Budgie in waiting.😜
  11. I agree he really needs to regroup now, i thought he would be a top 8 rider for a few years it shows just how well Lindgren has done to reinvent himself.
  12. For me Andersen,Bjerre,.Nicki,Iversen are all past there peak now, and in truth there best four now available are Iverson Madsen,Jensen, Kildemand.For me worrying times for the Danes i am hoping Hansen makes a breakthrough for them in the future.
  13. What a great record Ronnie had he appeared in 14 world Finals and to think he also had a gap in his riding career 1963 until 1969 six seasons out ( Why was that.??? was it businesss interests.?? LEGEND.
  14. But is the core of there team better? and most of those riding have a few years left in them yet.?
  15. Really enjoyed that there was some terrific racing with four evenly matched teams Laguta/Tarasenko were great value for the Russians and Lebedev was superb.Yesterday showed me again why we dont need that crappy JOKER rule four evenly matched teams they fought to the death and provided great entertainment.For me Denmark have big problems they are in decline who are coming through for them maybe Jakobsen Hansen? worrying times for them longterm i believe,
  16. Doyle Holder Batchelor for me are nailed on at the moment but Fricke, Morris,J.Holder Kurtz they are the future.If i had a punt longterm i think Jack could be the best out of those four Australia are in a tricky position do they go for short - term results or plan for the future.
  17. I really believe this forum does not represent how most diehard speedway fans feel about Tai.Myself i am a Tai fan and his stance on the Britain situation is down to what he believes in and he has every right to do this.He has not given his reasons why ( maybe a mistake.? ) he has not got into a personnal vendetta with anyone and he moves on in his career without Britain.For me a compromise could of been made how good would a core of a team with Woffinden,Cook,Lambert been for the future? something to build on anyway.At Cardiff i hope Tai gets a good reception i think he will as most of us know there are always two sides to every story and hopefully both parties can come together in the future and sort out there differences.Also this notion that Tai owes Britain something is total nonsense his job is to do what is best for himself and his family which we all do in whatever walk of life we are in.
  18. I was thinking as a replacement for Greaves Perks is classed as English but the numbers game wins again.
  19. You are right NW i like Cook i rate Lambert have alot of time for S.Worrall so i am interested but not as a team and longterm Bewley will be knocking on the door to i hope so anyway.
  20. Only because of the crappy double points ride so false to be honest also i recon if somebody else came in Woffinden would ride.What about a core of a team of Woffinden,Lambert,Cook looks decent plus Harris King,Bewley,S.Worrall,Lawson to pick from.The main thing is to iron there differences out look ahead and get Woffinden back in until he comes back i have no interest in the England team.
  21. Totally agree Tiger i dont know how you feel but if say Swindon won the league with the original 1/7 surely that is what it is all about not about making changes mid season.If so you might as well call it a SQUAD system for the life of me why cant they have a league winner and then another play/off scenario top 4 as well.That would be ideal a team then could even win the double for me speedway now in this country is self destructing.
  22. I actually think they are weaker cant see this team scoring 48 points very often as poor as Kennett has been away with him in the side could see them winning more home meetings.
  23. This shows me how speedway has gone mad change for change sake i feel for Perks who has had a breakthrough year.The promotion has had a nightmare here what an uninspiring team if anything they are weaker now with the changes and may lose matches at home.Perks hopefully will get another spot somewhere else i bet Wolves wished they could fit him in.
