Hands up, I was dubious about the team choice for the SWC, but all the boys really did themselves and us proud. Their commitment could not be faulted and the team spirit was amazing. On a track which isn't suited to 5 rider races and was far from conducive to what we know as racing, we should be happy that the boys were there battling for a medal place until the last few races, and that they all came away from the meeting in one piece!

Thought this was one of those "only joking" threads again! It's not as if Team GB are going to win the SWC, so why not give one of the younger lads some experience at this level :x Denmark fielded a very young team last year, and look how their youngsters are progressing!

I remember him Grachan, although only at Smallmead & Blunsdon, thought he came from Swindon.

Think were in L42, so when Tricky win's we'll come over and celebrate with you Sting

Call me biased but Reading's 1990 BL and KO Cup winning team has got to be up there with the best:- 1. Per Jonsson - World Champ in 1990 but only 3rd in Racers averages in '90 :? One of, if not the best rider ever to don the whinged wheel. 2. Jan Andersson - Reading legend, instrumental in Per's success 3. Todd Wiltshire - signed in March as Racers #7, rode his was to the top of the Racers averages by May! Finished the season with 9+ ave. World #3 in '90 4. Armando Castagna - another Reading legend, brought in mid way through season to replace injured Tony Olsson. Partnered is old mate Donkey which became one of the best riding partnerships Reading has ever seen. 5. Jem Doncaster - Team Captain, Commonwealth Champion 1990 (I think!), had an understanding on track with Gino which was unbelievable to watch. 6. Dave Mullet - another Racers legend in the making (at the time) 7. Dave Steen - doubled up as stadium electrician, and allegedly, part time stripper too! Team Manager - Tim Sugar A team with out and out stars, but no prima donna's The team spirit in 1990 was unbelievable, and has never been matched by a Reading team since.

Per Jonsson Not the best technical rider in the world, but certainly one of the most naturally gifted.
