A thread congratulating Nicki on his fantastic sportsmanship in the Final would be far more appropriate.

Both Aussies I believe, Kev.

Holder is having a 'mare!

Pretty sure that's the case

All i know is that he was a Swindon junior who helped Midd'bro out at the Abbey in '95.

Lex Fielding was killed in a track crash in Aussie in 1971.

Last year I stayed in Krakow (flew direct from Bristol) and took the train to Tarnow on the Sunday for Speedway. It's a straight run on the train, left Krakow at 13:00 and was back by 20:00. They're not too hot this year though, teams like Wroclaw, Zielona Gora or Rzeszow will be the closest matches with Tarnow.

March '87 I think.

Both Swedes Kev I haven't got any DOB info for either though unfortunately.

Here you go Kev NORWICH ENG 17.12.1934

Billy Sanders for one.

Yep, the Lynch Mob will be warming up!

Yep, Aussie alright

There's lovely!

Born in sunny Swindon Kev

Alternatively, the rider I spoke to thought Gollob turned left and should have been excluded. It's a game of opinions!

Must agree with you Paulco. Leigh is an absolute legend, but his performances at both Slovenia ans Sweden show why he is very unlikely to go the final step. As soon as conditions have got less than ideal, his self preservation kicks in. He looked one of the least confident riders on Saturday - with perhaps on Kasprzak looking as timid. For what it's worth - I though Tomasz was a lucky lad to stay in the re-run and had blatantly turned left on AJ.

He was Aussie. Apparently there were fireworks everytime he took to the track.

I knew there was Austrian and Australian bits in there somewhere!

Gunther 'Hec' Haslinger was an Austrian who resided in Australia I believe.

Why have you only got Swindon listed as being the Robins since 1955??
