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

Not seen the book, but it will be no surprise to any Swindon fans of the mid 80's to know Simmo was working his average down to go NL in '86. Biggest surprise to me is that he says only the 0 V King's Lynn was fixed. His last 6 scores were 2,2,3,3,5,0

According to http://www.sportowefakty.pl/drukuj.php?news_id=125826 Żużlowiec RKM-u Renat Gafurov, który zaliczył wczoraj upadek w zawodach Rundy Kwalifikacyjnej Drużynowego Pucharu Świata w Daugavpils, opuścił szpital i jest w drodze do Rybnika, gdzie "Rekiny" będą dzisiaj podejmować zespół Unii Tarnów. Przypomnijmy, iż w szóstym biegu łotewskich zawodów Renat Gafurov miał upadek, po którym został odwieziony karetką wprost do szpitala. Pierwsze wieści mówiły o wstrząśnieniu mózgu u popularnego "Renatki", jednak na chwilę obecną nie ma dokładniejszych informacji na temat stanu zdrowia zawodnika. Wiadomo jedynie, iż uskarża się on na ból w plecach. Żużlowiec zdecydował sie opuścić miejscowy szpital i udał się wraz z mechanikiem w drogę do Rybnika. W tutejszym szpitalu przejdzie on szczegółowe badania. Gafurov bardzo chce wspomóc swoich klubowych kolegów w walce o ligowe punkty; niestety podczas feralnego biegu zniszczeniu uległ jego najlepszy motocykl. Miejmy nadzieję, iż badania w rybnickim szpitalu wykluczą jakąkolwiek kontuzję sympatycznego żużlowca The online translation is typically sketchy, but mentions back pain and that he has travelled to Rybnik. Are any of our Polish friends able to translate please??

Adams 12/1 at Corals, had a tickly twenty on that. Also had a wee charity bet on Bjarne at 33/1.

Anyone know how it's looking at the mo?

I wonder if some people on here have watched any speedway this year. How the hell can anyone pick Norris??

Milan Spinka and Leonard Raba

That's why i specified BL CHK, maybe i should have said BL era.

Simmo's BL career was as follows: West Ham(65,66,67),KingsLynn(68,69,70,71,72,73,74,86,93),Poole(75,76,77,78,79,80),Wim bledon(81,82,83,84),Swindon(85),Hackney(86,87),ArenaEssex(89)

Blimey, touchy aren't we?? How do you know i haven't got constructive criticism and what difference would knowing my real name make?? As you ask, the main subject matter was about a rider that doesn't particularly interest me and i got the impression it was a book plug in disguise. The earlier editions had far more 'off the wall' articles in my opinion, this one was more mainstream. The book extracts are creeping in which, to me, aren't what the essence of the magazine is about. I enjoyed the Bob Radford and Mike Letch articles, but the rest did come across to me as perhaps ideas were running a little dry. Personally i would like more behind the scenes, thought provoking articles, similar to those above and the excellent Edward Jancarz piece a few editions ago. Also, more features about some of the lesser lights rather than top riders who feature in all other mags. There you go, an opinion. Sorry i didn't lie and say i thought everything was marvellous in the last one...that's life! By the way the majority of the other 12 editions have been a fascinating read. Andy Freegard.

I hope issue 14 returns to the standards previously set. Issue 13 was poor in my opinion.

Best of luck to the other 14 riders for this years Championship (TRick apart). Hopefully someone will step up to the plate and deny the selfish, manipulating World Champion a 7th title. In particular i hope Rico or Scottly Pickles can bring home a GP win and both ensure a top 8 place.

Don Howison rode for Barrow in 1973.

He was Norwegian Briggo.

I'll get my coat Norman!

He hasn't and neither have some of the Hungarians i listed. Thread title doesn't stipulate British League though. In respones to Puma. John and Johnny Jorgensen are different riders. Also you're missing another Finn Jensen (Eastbourne 1983). And it should be Stefano Alfonso. If it's BL only you want then Kurt Bogh, Zsolt Boszormenyi, Zoltan Hajdu, Joszef Petrikovics, Laszlo Szatmari, Laszlo Bodi, Zoltan Zeke and Patrick Hougaard have never ridden for a British team.

Doing a history pf the British League site Iris. Only up to 1994, hence anyone after that is not in my database yet! A few of the names i've listed there are riders i know who haven't ridden over here. Allan Fog rode a few matches (slowly) for Sheffield in 1993.
