No matter how many times I watch it he still takes hoim out big style. There's one person here who wont being going to watch BP on ice, lol

Just watched the KC British Final race again today and it still sends shivers done my back watching it. The guy who is jumping up and down in the white top on the enterence of the 3rd bend on the 1st and 2nd laps makes me laugh, bet he was crying at the end of the race

Great, I hope its the race where King Kenny "carved the Collins boys to peices" as a certain Mr Lanning said.

I dont think you can compare the two riders at all. Two totally different era's of speedway with different rules, machines etc. Only think you can compare riders who have ridden at the same time where there is stability in rules, tracks, machines etc.

Apart from Cardiff, which GP's are people planning to attend for 2004? I fancy Gothenburg and Krsko this year for a change. Done Copenhagen and Cardiff last year and fancy a change for my away trip

More of a body warmer actually Steve

The only reason I got it Steve was due to the 'Homefire' sponsership all over his leathers (Shirra, Doncaster & Dugard all sponsored by British Smokeless Fuels ) and when I looked back in my 1992 yearbook there was a picture of the England, oops sorry Great Britain team from the WTC Final in Kumla Sweden Dugard and all.

19 - Havvy & Bobby Ott (1992 Eng v USA @ Swindon) 20 - Joe Screen (Fours @ P'Boro) 21 - Chris Manchester 22 - Skornicki (Y&, Nicki P (W) & Hamill ® 23 - Martin Dugard (1992 WTC Final @ Kumla) 24 - Scott 'Scud' Smith

I would agree with you there Falcace, looks more like Jan Andersson to me too

128 - Steve Baker 136 - Phil White

Andrew thats cos ex Dukes fans would support Sheffield any day of the week as our only alternative is to go to Kirky Lane, no thank you :!: :twisted:

From what I remember there was a competition for local schools to design a race jacket and it just needed to say 'Dukes' and 'Coalite' (then sponsers) on it the rest was imagination The so called cross went after a few years and was replaced by a crown on a ble and red shield sort of design.

The reason for the elephant is because the team took the emblem of the Halifax based Duke of Wellington army regiment, so full marks to Andrew, therefore the elephant appeared on the race jacket and the teams nickname became the dukes.

From what I have been told DFDS (mini cruise co) are putting their prices for 2004 online in the next few days if anyone is interested in going to Gothenberg this might be a cheaper option than flying. www.dfds.co.uk

Yeah then they sold him to Halifax/Bradford and he was (errrmm got to be polite!!) not very good home or away

115 - Shooey 117 - Billy Sanders 118 - Paul Woods

1. Tricky 2. Hancock 3. Leigh 4. Holta 5. Crumpy 6. Cozmo 7. Pedersen Dunno who that would mean is World Champion, but it'll be damn close.

Yeah Man!!!

Thats really bad news :x Doug was a great announcer, he always credit to a rider who had had a great race from either the Dukes or who was ever visiting, which some of the new breed find hard to do. Sad loss to speedway.

Yeah get Ole out and someone in who will at least listen to the riders to see what they want, as it is them who provide us with the racing not a bloke it a body warmer. :x Always thought Olsen was a bit of a Chesney Hawkes

The boys rode great last nite, really glad Havvy was in the points and was honest about his performance in the first round meeting. Only down side was I missed it live so watched it on Sky at 11:30, totally knacked now as didn't get to bed until after 2:00am as couldn't turm off the TV, now ½ asleep at work

No mention of Deano's movement at the start of each race he was in though

According to http://www.crash.net/news_detail.asp?champ...0&language_id=1 the team is:- Scotty Nicholls Lee Richardson Dean Barker Gary Havelock One from Bomber, Shaggy, Stoney, David Norris & Stuart Robson States that he will take possibly six riders, I'd take Bomber and Stonet myself.

Danny Bird, you must be joking, maybe in a years time, he lags behind Steady, Bomber etc at a higher level. Don't ruin his confidence be sending him to Denmark and him scoring chuff all, like he did tonight, he looked more like a conference rider not being able to cope with a tight track, a year away from IOW would do him good.
