Then again Perth to Brisbane is 4,300km or so,compared with Moscow to Vladivostok which is 9,200 or so......They manage to have a speedway league in Russia somehow There is huge and there is Russian huge....огромный.Which is bigger than the english version!!!!

I did manage to see some heats with Fundin,Mauger,Briggo and PC.....although it was Collins,not Craven

There are of course many who have problems choosing...... http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/jun/18/rory-mcilroy-olympics-ireland-golf and another famous complicated case.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_McCullough

Well if you look at the schedule and look at say sunday the 12th of June then they have games at 15.00,18:00 and 21:00.Same for the sunday 26th June........etc Not sure why marky is repeating what I have already posted(wrong in the case of the Euro Final dates ) ??????

Jim also rode with Booey in New Zealand for England,so could correctly be described in this case as an England star,as for instance could Ken McKinlay 1968-69,1969-70,1970-71 tours for instance http://www.internationalspeedway.co.uk/nzveng.htm

So,you agree there were 3 then? Ove doesn't even come into the equation as from the time he rode for Wembley he never rode in a Wembley world final.He only rode in Wembley finals before he signed for Wembley

I know Scotland beat Finland in the Euro Curling semi-finals.And the bronze was Finlands first ever medal

Seems to be running an Irish pub-night club and probably speedway is just a hobby now.Had a short spell in hospital this year after maybe puncturing a lung or something at a meeting.Not sure.So many accidents,i can't remember who done what

He started a comeback,very slowly.Got injured again this season,but is still riding.Just not at the level he was before his bad crash a few years back

Good to see Bradley is still riding and making progress.I was somewhat surprised to see him not listed in the NZ league teams and assumed he had given up the sport.Intersting signing

One time when the track wasn't set up for home advantage was Wembley '75,which I was at.As it went we had the inofficial unauthorised watering of the track which was supposed to have ruined PCs chances......

None other than Barry Briggs tipped Egon to win the title before the season had started.Coincidently the 1972 round up and 1973 preview also tipped Jerzy as a dark horse.But it is also quite sratange to think that setting up the track for anyone rider is the reason they win.It might give them that bit of advantage.But in this class of meeting surely it also give one or two others an advantage.Setting the track differently,just gives a different set of riders an advantage.I'd imagine the Poles always set their tracks up to suit their riders and so did they in other countries as far as they could with the weather

june to july next year are the Euro football finals.Ok Denmark didn't qualify,but more importantly Poland did........as well as Sweden.Not sure about Finland though

Don't think their football is that big in Denmark,although they do play on sunday.The big problem for Sweden,Denmark and a lot of countries is they watch English or Spanish football on sunday.English football at least is very big and there are lts of fans who even travel over for the games.So I guess it gets big coverage.The trouble is really which day doesn't clash with football now?Even the Bundesliga want,to protests from the lower league,to play on Mondays for tv money

So,does that last sentence mean they are looking at changing the race day to avoid a clash with football?

Got a long way to go until he is as bad as Dirk Nowitzki.He hasn't played in the German league since 1998 ffs!!!!!! What a J Arthur https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirk_Nowitzki And another one!!!! http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/34898167

A very nice guy and so is his father.He is a Poole fan because of his Grandad riding for Poole.Not sure any other relations rode for Poole though.Not sure he has been a student in the UK either,but has been the guest of Matt Ford and maybe even Rossiter a few times to see some meetings.Was/is a mate of Lewis Bridger I seem to remember.Saw him a few times back in his 80cc days and was fairly impressed.Hope it works out for him

But apparently if you ride a Japanese bike you might be able to ride for japan.I hope I have got that right.You will have a real job of trying to sing their national anthem though

If you look at this Polish report on corruption under Sport,you will find speedway mentioned.Maybe that answers your question http://www.batory.org.pl/doc/Jak_walczyc_zkor_EN.pdf

Tbh he seems one of the candidates that has needed someone to take him to one side and set him straight on a number of things.Saying that,i take my hat off to him for giving something back t the sport and helping these guys out.Fingers crossed it turns out better than the Finnish "godfather" scheme

Like I said,it really doesn't interest me.I was very surprised the Phillips thing came up on my FB as I have never seen anything from him before.Just seen Kylmä's announcement though Yup.Mustonen announced his over an hour ago on FB

Glenn Phillips himself seems to have announced his place.Mustonen might have done the same as I did see some activity on FB,but couldn't be bothered to look.Maybe the French guy has also done so,but I don't have any sort of connections on FB to him I think,so wouldn't have noticed if he announced anything

I only went to the old ground once when Tooting & Mitcham played on a Boxing day derby.Went to the new ground when Millwall resrves had their home games there.Funnily enough a local Hamburg club now have a friendship with Dulwich and played there pre-season..........all off topic though

Yes,i see that.That was what I was trying to point out.The Stenner ratings were very much based on UK performances by UK based riders. Glad to see Keef has edited his post.Thught something was wrong that he hadn't mentioned Sarf London

Was it me looking too early in the morning or did it say 1000cc Sidecars for Poland and Güstrow this morning????? I was trying to get my head around that all day
