  1. Obviously right.Think the idea from the 3(Hans,Erik and Henrik Möller) was to trim down the squad,rather than include too many.Lasse I can't ever see coming into contention for a senior team spot just like there isn't much point including Klindt,Rasmus Jensen or others of that ilk.Clear the mediocre riders out of the way and hope that one or two of those juniors do make it through,and double quick really before they lose Iversen and Bjerre to those over the hill.Bjerre probably Is anyway
  2. See the big news today that Hans Andersen and Leon Madsen have been dropped from the Danish senior squad and Nicki Pedersen has voluntarily stepped down to allow the youngsters a chance.Not surprised with Hans and although I am a bit surprised with Madsen,i have mentioned a number of times that he doesn't seem to be liked and always seems to have had a cloud hanging over him since his apparent attempt to cheat some years back under the Stekkers regime Another surprise seems to be the omission of Patrick Hansen,who one or two on here hailed as one for the future,from the junior squad!!! Surely a mistake or oversight?Or is he now too old? Also wonder how on earth Martin S.Hansen still manages to stay in a talent squad.He must be too old and been around too long for the Danes to bother sticking with him The main thing though is,will this help bring them back to the top? Not in the next year or two at the very least imo Danish junior squad 2018: Frederik Jakobsen, Tim Sørensen, Kasper Andersen, Mads Hansen, Jason Jørgensen. Talent squad 2018: Jonas Jensen, Christian Thaysen And Ulrich Stærk, Jonas Seifert, Mikkel B. Andersen, Sam Jensen, Matias Nielsen, Martin S. Hansen, Emil Pørtner, Sebastian Mortensen, Morten Piepenbrinch, Jannik B. Sørensen, Kenneth Jürgensen, Marius Nielsen, Jacob Højmark, Nick Agertoft, Emil Breum, Benjamin Basso, Frederik Kristiansen, Magnus Kiel Jensen. Danish senior squad 2018: Niels Kristian Iversen, Kenneth Bjerre, Peter Kildemand, Michael Jepsen Jensen, Mikkel Bech, Mikkel Michelsen, Anders Thomsen
  3. Just do us a favour and bugger off once and for all.
  4. One problem is there have generally always been more clubs who had a negative season than ones who have had a positive one,so the negs rule!!They will always tend to have the upper hand by saying if you don't help us we drop down or out......and despite everything we always end up with good and bad teams
  5. But isn't that how the sport has worked since as far back as I can remember?Punish the best teams so they have to lose riders with the idea you start the season roughly level.An idea which has never worked.No idea why the continue with an idea that has proved to be detrimental.Upsets fans who want to see a team develop,upsets riders as well.
  6. Weissenbach in Austria are hoping to run a meeting on 06.01.2018 weather permitting
  7. They also have squads,so hopefully clashes will be kept to a minimum with riders signed on the basis they miss few meetings
  8. I have just popped over to speedway.org to see the news that the site has stopped.Or should i say the woman that runs it has gone into retirement after 20 years.One of the original sites and a great sources of info that was very easy to navigate I will miss it
  9. Come on folks,what is a few hours wait when it is another 5 year plan to save the sport? And when you think about it,it is only another years wait until the next 5 year plan...... No laughing matter really,i know,but....
  10. I remember going to the world final at Bradford in 1985.It was a Saturday in August
  11. The details are a bit of a surprise,but the overall problem,i think has been known for years.I did mention some years back that it was the demans of BSI that were stopping a Russian GP.Of course Phil Rising denied any of this and said it was about the difficulty of getting riders and their equipment to Togliatti,despite the ice speedway riders from western Europe managing the same journey with similar equipment. But it is maybe not so exclusive to BSI.I know the promoters of the Berlin Ice Speedway GP made it known of their displeasure at FIM demands that seemed exclusive to their stadium and the same demands were not mentioned at other venues.That is,they said the reason they dropped out of hosting an FIM meeting for a season or two....
  12. One subject i am terrible on is League Champions.1965 and 1973 are about my lot
  13. Goodness gracious me.Have you had a knock on the head or something whilst line dancing???
  14. No.You are always going on at Humphrey about editing posts to make them look different.And there you are caught red-handed.A big hypocrite You aren't very good at this debating thing.Should have stayed gone when you made the big announcement!!!!
  15. Glad you agree how hypocritical you are.Good that we have it in b&w now.I thank you
  16. That is important.You have to allow for the fact someones forefathers might have moved to a country.So it might be possible to find Danish people with -sson,but it doesn't mean that is a Danish spelling.Just like Hampel is a Germanic name or further back Glücklich. And Smolinski is a polish name
  17. I didn't know the Fleetwood and even worse i guess, New Cross answers
  18. Shows you up to be a total hypocrite as you constantly try to tell people what they should and shouldn't post.Voice of Reason is constantly getting told to tone down his language by you and even to b####r off to another country!!!
  19. Outrageous that Sid calls someone a tool and someone who calls himself a Christian ignores that!!! Grow some man for gods sake
  20. I'd agree Sometimes we can look back and ask 'if only he was more dedicated how good could he have been?'.We are possibly dealing with a couple who could fall into that category.Even Ronnie Moore could be as well.Olle is certainly a rider that it could be said never really reached his full potential,but then they were who they were.That is the life they chose and maybe Olle could have been much better than the records show,but i think you are right and he woud lose more often than not against Split
  21. No doubt in my mind Ronnie at his peak,fully motivated would beat Split.Ronnie at his peak would beat most riders in anyones top 10 apart from the very very best
  22. On my mobile i don't know how to save and post links,sorry
  23. Just try searching for world finalist or oldest or chum Taylor or even bobbath.it is there from last year and even that was a new thread asking for updates....
