Yes,even the great Egon Müller rated that as the best speedway race ever.But i wasn't there to see it,so chose races i have witnessed in person

Not sure that is totally true about the only rider to be able to beat the Danes etc....I was at the 85 test at Oxford and Carter was poor.Was there a valid reason that i have forgotten?But looking at the England scores and Carter only topped them two years against Denmark.

As Polski is a Polish speedway journo i guess he has heard something on this to come out with that statement

Intrigued about the online pole?Who will win?Plech or the aforementioned Daniszewski

Yup a tad.Wouldn't pick someone up for getting the letters mixed up.I know i do i quite a lot.Just typing too fast.And one of my friends who i guess as he is a speedway star correspondent,knows how to spell words always seems to write "teh" instead of "the"....just typos.But because you used a z instead of an s i thought you were making a point about that

Think you will find both are acceptable.But your version is an Americanisation perhaps.Thought the Yanks are the ones who use 'z' in place of the British 's'

One from recent memory is Nicki Pedersen in the Danish Final at Holsted about 4 years back.Mucked the first turn right up and almost came to a standstill.Then over the next few laps took(i think) Bjarne and Kenneth Bjerre,but Hans looked to have got the Final in the bag.Somehow Nicki managed to make up about 8 metres or so and take Hans before the last bend...Nicki when he was really flying Also remember a great race from Mirko Wolter at Güstrow when he made a similar balls up and was almost down to about 5kmh on the turn,but kept control and came round one or two riders

Rune is also one of the nicest riders i have met,so gets my vote

I for one am glad the forum filter changed it,as i would have no idea what "frabury" meant.So which one are you? An old person or the other one?

The only time i am sure i saw him was when Australia got thrashed at Wimbledon by NZ in 73.Was obviously past his best or at least had an off night.But Plough Lane was pretty much a home fixture for NZ

Oh yes.Bundesliga final tomorrow in Wolfslake for instance

The Czech channel always seemed to have a good archive of meetings.Mainly GPs and Czech league.Have to admit that i have never bothered to see if the show the league live.But all you have to do is look at the Czech fixture list and watch the schedules when you know a meeting is coming up. have to say looking at the riders in the Final,that was an extreeeeemly poor Zlata Prilba line up

Why do you think that is the most important criteria?Personally i would like a rider who adds something to the series over the course of the GP season,not just once in a very blue moon like Lindgren and Harris.And to add to that we also have Pepe and Bjarne next year.Another couple of bluemooners if ever there were I do think Laguta is capable of bringing a bit more and even possibly a few podium finishes.But that isn't for me so important as adding some excitement most meetings

I still don't get it.How on earth does Pusey rate among the best of British since 63 or anytime?Was he better than Hedge,Pratt,McMillan,Luckhurst or even John Davis?I would rate Pusey alongside riders like Reg Wilson and Doug Wyer maybe.But no way would he be in a top 20 British riders unless you were narrowing it down to the 70s

One of the weirdest comments on here.No way was Pusey equal to any of those riders imo.

Sentiments along these lines have been posted on here probably hundreds if not thousands of times. Nothing changes though.Not quite sure about the wave of talent from Russia.We had the big hype about 4 or 5 years ago and they certainly lived above their means back then.The crowds might have stayed healthy,but the league had become something of a shambles.And even the talent seems to be changing alleigance.Just have to have followed Grigori's attempts to become a Latvian and Loktaev for instance becoming a Ukrainian.Something is not quite right.In fact i think you will probably find that the people running speedway in both Russia and Ukraine make the BSPA look good.where there is money and civic power there is corruption.A couple of the Mega Lada bigwigs have been bumped off i think.And there was big trouble at Trofimovs club in Ukraine trying to oust him.....Having said that i do like the look of both Loktaev and Bogdanow when i have seen them.Not of course that Bogdanow is Russian

Isn't wednesday tha main night for Danish Superliga?Not the only night.But i thought the idea was that they can attract riders who ride in Sweden on tuesday.Brovst for instance were relying heavily on Polish riders who rode in Sweden tuesday.maybe it has changed now somewhat.On the other hand, i can't see the 8 meetings in Russia being a major problem to avoid.How many of the riders are in the EL?

Long may it continue Alan.Good health to you and have a nice weekend

Blimey Alan,you go back a long way.I feel old having over the past few years getting to know Miras + Kacper Wornya.The son and grandson of former Pirate Toni,who i remember seeing.Just love seeing the next and the next generation at the tracks.But certainly makes me feel old when i see young Kacper out on the track

Fingers crossed for a Danish win Unfortunately i am off out for the day,so won't be able to see any action.Just hope for a good meeting and no injuries.Same for the Polish final afterwards.Enjoy all

Thanks Jacky.I knew you could be relied uopn to once again bring a little part of my life in order Don't forget to remind me about hotels in Berlin

Seems the meeting will be streamed live at 13:00 british time here

Yeah,i know the phrase exists.Just like "don't bite the hand that feeds you" or any other phrase where nashers are concerned....i was asking is it the right phrase Living for more than a decade in a non english speaking country i admit i get confused sometimes.......

I'm sorry for asking a question then I'll find an english language one to ask it on.or maybe ask one of my foreign friends.they seem to know english better than many of the natives

English lesson needed here....do Coventry need to bite their tongue or bite the bullet?
