Really saddened today to hear of the passing of former Birmingham rider Archie Wilkinson. He never missed a meeting at Perry Barr since they reopened and was always in his usual position on the terraces on the home straight. My original hero as a kid I have had the pleasure of knowing Archie as an adult. Someone I’ve always had time for and has to be one of the nicest, kindest and helpful people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. Such a sad loss to the world, RIP Archie.

The majority would say no tho I’d imagine.

And still won’t be enough quality riders for that to happen tho.

Yes they do.

They still have to win them in hand, which they don’t appear to doing right now but yes I agree on paper they should be in the top 4.

Message him and ask him. I’m sure he will tell you. Great to have people stepping forward to do the updates, we should be very grateful that people do. And very fair in his reports too.

Oops my bag, I’ve altered post for accuracy.

Possibly yea, good call. Although might be too late to make a difference to make the top 4 tho?

To be honest that’s how I read things. Rowe IS on the Rising Star list so can guest for another RS? He is declared in main team by Ipswich so can have a true average.

Nicki can’t under Polish rules.

Sam does a great job imho.

This line is trotted out when ever one of your chosen team falls and a section cheer. It happens at every track without any question yet posters seem to indicate it’s every fan at that particular track which as we know is total nonsense.

Hopefully so, needs to be on our screens more.

And obviously I didn’t agree with your original comment. Sam is a legend without question. (Queue laughing emoji predictably)

Fancy not winning at the track where they haven’t won at home? Oh dear. Well done the Stars, let’s hope it’s the start of improvement.

Sam is vastly experienced and knowledgable about speedway. He is exactly the sort of person we need on our speedway screens. Hopefully he will be back more regular. Great to see him and Jan adding comments tonight. More of the same please. You don’t have to agree btw, the more knowledgable ex riders the better.

What part of that comment don’t you understand?

Be a great bonus for a while.

We need more Sam on Speedway channels.

Apologies, was still looking at the previous GSA. Good point!

He is still 5th in the averages.

Wealth of knowledge and experience. Great to see him and Jan back on TV.

I’ve been several times over the years on the promise of superb racing but in truth have always left disappointed. not one pass past the 2nd bend in 7 heats.

Follow the leader speedway, never understood why this track is highly rated.
