Great stuff,makes you wishI had kept a diary what memories. PS Sounds like we stayed in the same B&B

Regarding the protest,There was an extra race but the same 2riders that were in the original final were 1st and 2nd Hunter & Gilbertson.Ironicaly Hunter's e/f when leading final might not have occurred but for his extra race.But that is conjecture and the records show Mauger was the Champ.

Jimmy Squibb was involved too if I remember correctly.Those were the days EH!!!!!!!!!!

Your are correct regarding the 1964 programme picture,what I remember about it was the picture was the riders going out for the original final before the protest.Hunter and Gilbertson helmet colours were different in the actual final.(there is a a piece of useless information,but would be a good Quiz question ).White & Y/B were swopped round in final.Am I right with thie assumption?

Think you are mixing up the years in 1963 there was the famous "sit in" when the was confusion who should be in final.George Hunter and Ross Gilbertson were 1st and 2nd in run-off ironically they were the ones in the original final,before the protest .George Hunter e/f in in lead in final which was won by Mauger with Kitchen 2nd..I was there in 1963 but might not be 100% with the facts (sure someone will correct me )Wayne was runner up in 1962 (I think).The reason I remember this is it was the year Peter Craven was killed at Edinburgh a few weeks earlier and George Hunter had been involved in the accident,when his engine had seized .

GREAT entertainer and worthy champion. Some of his passes over the years have been unbelievable and the reason you go to watch speedway.

In your opinion of course

Well done Tomasz fully deserved Title on of the best entertainers on a speedway bike .Title in the bag and still focussed on the win on the night.To hear Pearson and Tatum comments about him taking chances with title in the bag is pitiful,Gollob never short -changes the fans.Well done Chris Harris who once again proves if you give him a decent racetrack he can compete with the best.Hans does not have much luck these days in gp's but him and AJ seem to be "over the hill" in regards title contenders.

Personally I don't Murray would even claim that fact.

Wayne would have been a great rider IMO if his career had not been blighted by serios injuries Wayne and George Hunter had very similier styles and were heading for the top till varoius mishaps took their toll.Those were the days!!

Emil is a cast iron cert for next season IMO.Jonsson & Anderson might be in danger if they don't make the top 8 IMO

Thanks

Could you give the Links please.

Yep! and a DVD player showing England world cup highlights 2010

While your post MAY be in jest you will be more than a little bit red-faced if you ever were able to visit it.It is truely amazing.

You are right about the Polish team manager .I did not realise that you could replace a rider in your team more than once if you were behind which made it even more an error.

Hope you were better at HISTORY

You and the club are doing a great job keep it up.To much win at all costs with others.

The Question is can Jason & Nicky return to their top notch standard,because IMO they will have too if want to be Champ again . Emil,Holder,Hampel Lingren& Bjerre for example are not going to fade away.

I disagree! Hampel is a class act IMO and will be around at the top for a while IMO.

We are doing well in WSB with Haslem , Rea ,Crutchlow ect.

Like I said you are misreading my Post

You are misreading my post.

If Kennet is in GP probably due to sponsership he could bring with him ,money talks.Woofy was talking the same story if he is picked.
