If Britain are to get one, this should put Bomber in the box seat for it.

Poor old Gaffer!

Correct Shawn. Loram's World Title was won using the knock-out formula. Joe Screen throttling back so as not to pass Loram for 2nd in heat 20 at Bydgoszcz is a vivid memory.

Pip Austen rode 23 matches for Long Eaton in Division 2 during 1974. Averaged 3.63 with a top league score of 5. No idea what happened to him after that, but he didn't ride any more league matches for anyone.

Junior. I wasn't even aware he was ill Here's the link (in Polish though) http://www.sportowefakty.pl/index.php?dysc_id=4

What a load of claptrap, classic British mentality. We lost, end of.

Norris spent half a season as a Reading rider way back in 1995, hardly likely to make much difference i'd say.

Jokers and Tac Subs out, a reserve in who you can use a maximum of 4 times to replace riders. 7 man teams would never work as there isn't sufficient depth. Some teams barely score anything when picking 5 men never mind finding 7.

Considering it was a major event, i have to say that both the track and stadium did little to enhance Speedway's fragile reputation.

Resting Stead wasn't the issue. Picking him in the 1st place was. By not using him for his last 2 Middlo basically proved he'd made a mistake as Stead is generally poor at Reading. Also, his use of the joker beggered belief. Heat 20 was the obvious option.

Jeez mate, if you thought that was dull there really is no point in you ever watching another Speedway meeting

Louis for Stead. Danny Bird shouldn't be anywhere near a meeting of this stature...unless he's spannering for someone!

Louis really should be an automatic pick for Reading on Thursday. Middlo went with the right team for tonight and now must swap Stead for Louis at Smallmead. Stead's form at Reading is little short of awful. And as for these ridiculous Rico bashers............

Jerzy Szczakiel

Oh dear, wide angle lens required to get Carpanese in shot during his 5 races!

Dean Barker....

I agree Lupus. In my opinion Adams is far and away the best TM, certainly in the EL at any rate.

Trevor Swales??...high comedy!

Looks like Sullivan and Max 10 PP, Gjedde and Kosciecha 9 Pavlic and Iversen 8 Harris 7 The rest are all pretty much goners

I think leaving Louis out for Poland is fair enough, his form at Peterborough and Swindon is generally pretty pants. Different story at Reading though, i'd have him in at the expense of either Stead or Harris.

Already checked it out Darc. It's Tuesday August 15th.

Because Ashworth isn't much good
