Olsen Must Go
Custom House Kid replied to Vincent Vega's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Poor track and some poor decisions made lets hope lessons will be learnt, but lets not chuck the baby out with the bath water! -
I love to watch Gollob who is a very entertaining rider, I do feel however he is over hyped not an all round racer IMHO. A Great rider is somone like Leigh Adams rides most tracks, always tries to give enough space (left room for Holta in the Semi could have fenced him) and seems to work well with other riders. True proffesional in the Jack/Norman Parker, Aub Lawson, Ken Mckinlay, Mark Loram mold

A great loss to the sport imagine the east of England showground track with wider bends and straights and better prepared. Surrounded by a main two tiered stand with bars and corporate accommodation on the home straight, covered stand on the back straight and a ground capacity in excess of 90,000. Good transport links and in the heart of the capital city. I have many wonderful memories some sad, some funny and some ecstatic a period in my life I will remember with great fondness. Watching Sverre, hugging the fence. The night my mum sprayed a Dons Fan with coke by mistake, much to the amusement of a little lad. Stan the man beating Briggo. The night poor Dave Wills lost his Life The triple crown in 65 The loss of the team in Belgium and the fantastic hot dogs on the back straight that seemed to sag either end of a large roll. Those were the days!

Bit late but Sandor Levai did stick Olle on his A** in the pits in 1970 at Custom House with a Punch. Not really Olle's fault as Sandor had just put Pete Bradshaw through the fence and Olle tried to confront him on the pits fence. Match Score Hammers 46 Newport 32

If I had been Hans, I would have been p*ssed off! Not with Poland, more with the stupid rule which was always open to abuse!!! Hans I am afraid did himself no favours! -

Just watched the london masters Final May not be very popular but that was the worse final I have seen! Too many goals for my liking! (In the wrong end) -

Conversely they might have said I think I am lucky to be here so let’s give it my best shot! I was going to bite Steve, but I think you are out of order! So you think our lads are the best of a bad bunch! (Remainder of post deleted) -
World Cup - Vojens Sat 14 July
Custom House Kid replied to Mad Mitch's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
This was no advert for the sport and going back to denmark should be looked at for future SWC's The format stinks not what I call team racing! If team GB knocked out I will not bother to watch I'm afraid! The sport does itself no favours!
