I don't normally read your posts as they are copied and not transated from polish,which is a Slavic language.I generally go for Germanic, languages(german,danish,swedish),which are languages that share some common relationship to english -

More of a surprise to me is Henrik Möller seems to be since the start of the season the U21 manager.Thought it was just a temporary fill in during the trouble -

That sort of thing was scorned upon in those days,but as long as they both enjoyed themselves then I don't see a problem.More recently one or two riders have lost control and got into trouble with the police

If you are lucky enough to live in or near Denmark,you can make 3 meetings on a Saturday quite often.This weekend I could go to Esbjerg 10:00,then Grindsted 13:00 and have plenty of time for some food and even a nap before going to Holsted for 19:00......I won't though

Agree BWitcher.Strange turn around I'd agree with Steve Roberts in that having,if you were a BL track,a sister track did provide a chance to see some of the top up and coming youngsters.At Wimbledon we didn't really have that.Ok a few like Gordon Kennett and Ted Hubbard would appear,but generally our record in the 70s and 80s of bringing youngsters through was fairly poor.We did have the bonus that when a big meeting was held at Wembley some of those overseas riders might turn up for an 'after meeting' run out.Which was then even later than the second half We also got an early look at Scott Autrey and Sumner McKnight who appeared in a second half at the start f the '73 season Like I say,i stayed for everything even after meeting laps,but the fact is most went after the last heat of the main meeting.

Oxford was a favourite destination on Bank Holidays for me.Remember the Dons supporters bus stopped there for an Oxford v Coventry meeting on our way to see the Dons(well it was a bit of a made up team with Bernie Leigh,Mick Bell and John Davis )get spanked by Neil Street + Crump in 1974.Was there earlier in the season to see the Dons in the BL.Then the next season we had a home + away double with Oxford on august Bank Holiday.Oxford had the amazing Helgi Langli...... What ever happened to Wayne Muddle?Remember seeing him in a second half at Oxford and looking at his results it seemed he only appeared in 2 meetings a few seasons later for Barrow?

Norway could take a few points off GB I think.Frederiksen is not a bad rider and in Moi at least they have another who has a lot of experience on Danish tracks.Sundvor I think also.Not sure about the others -
It is what used to happen in the 70s and 80s.I generally always stayed,but I was in a minority.Some I guess look back through rose tinted glasses or maybe the tracks I visited were different to those others visited and most people stayed,though I doubt it

World U21 Team Championships 2016
iris123 replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
Was thinking of going to this(Holsted) as it looked fairly even.Denmark not as strong as previous years.Australia look fairly good with one form Fricke and Kurtz having had a season of riding for Holsted before he came to GB.Now with wajkneckt in the team looks a lot weaker and as they are shutting the motorway I think I will just look at the result n the net -
It is difficult to punish.It is obvious Andersen broke the rule of not racing at all times,but how can you prove Ljung was in on the deal unless you overheard them discussing the heat in the pits? I do recall passing two riders in the pits at a meeting who were discussing what they were going to do in a heat,so it does happen......

Yes,i think Phil just means that when he hides the first post,he also hides the subsequent posts that are following on or they just don't make sense.I know this means that some of my excellent remarks are no longer to be seen,but it is a price I am willing to pay -
Kylmäkorpi is much better now he is a Swede!!!! Liglad seems to be developing into a bottle job when the going gets tough,sadly

As a country we have a tradition of free speech or even free silence.No-one should be forced to sing a bloody anthem.It just isn't important -

I feel very close to both clubs and of course Cities as they are of course traditionally German cities.I think one of the earliest references to Zielona Gora was a document that mentioned Gruninberg(Grünberg) and of course Gorzow was Landsberg and both were protestant for many many years.It is only relatively recently that the Germans were forced out and Polish people from other areas populated them But of course Eddie and Zenon were the daddies of polish speedway and had the men from the green mountain in their pockets
