  1. Agree 100% with your first choice team, Rob.
  2. Soften them up, then hit 'em hard in the second match with your best team, eh Rob?
  3. Sorry, remind me again, who is Darcy Ward? Is he a speedway rider? Has something happened involving him recently? Can I find any information about him anywhere?
  4. Zenon Plech first came to ride in England for Hackney in 1976. Marian Kaiser 1959 Leicester; Henryk Zyto 1960 Coventry; Stefan Kwoczala 1960 Leicester. Kaz Bentke 1961 Coventry; Pawel Waloszek 1961 Leicester.......
  5. Plus Lionel Van Praag at no.8 for another world title.
  6. A very close call between Knutson and Michanek. Perhaps we could have a pre-meeting run-off to decide!
  7. Can't see it, chr. Plechanov Samorodov Gollob Plech Jancarz Waloszek Woryna Possibly Sayfutdinov if only he could be bothered to enter the GPs!
  8. Bily Hamill for Scott Autrey, other than that can't disagree.
  9. Difficult to disagree, chr. I'd love Bjorn to be in there, but who would he replace?
  10. I would choose Vivian Woodward in a best England football team ever.
  11. Oh well, we haven't done Australia yet... Frank Arthur Vic Huxley Bluey Wilkinson Vic Duggan Aub Lawson Jack Young Jason Crump
  12. Oh dear! Anything but that!
  13. I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Banger yet.
  14. Sorry, R&R. you are quite right of course.
  15. Ove Fundin Tony Rickardsson Bjorn Knutson Anders Michanek Per Jonson Olle Nygren Gote Nordin
  16. Tom Farndon Eric Langton Jack Parker Tommy Price Split Waterman Peter Craven Peter Collins
  17. Of course they "failed to produce a definitive verdict." That's why the final outcome will be announced next week. Duh! The court now has to consider its verdict and what follows from it. That's how it works. It seems to me the only way they could have produced a verdict straight away is if they felt Darcy Ward had no case to answer and he was exonerated.
  18. Now now, BWitcher, you should know that the FIM have it in for Ward and Middlo personally and that they are deliberately delaying Ward's case till March just to spite Middlo and his team building efforts. That's why they have been delaying his case for as long as possible. All other cases they deal with are done and dusted within a week.....er....
  19. Matt Le Tissier...oh, no, sorry, wrong sport.
  20. One of them has now suddenly remembered it was Harringay he used to go to! One down, one to go...
  21. I am currently having an argument on a Facebook page called "Clapton, Hackney", which is where us old Claptonians go for a bit of nostalgia, discuss our memories and post some old photos. The argument I am having is with two people who distinctly remember going to Hackney Speedway in the 1950s. I have said that Hackney wasn't open in the 1950s, operating from 1935-1939 and then again from 1963-1991 plus the 1995 Grand Prix and a season as London Lions in 1996, but they won't have it as they are absolutely certain they saw speedway there in the 1950s. This is a reminder that it is no good relying on people's memories for historical events unless they are backed up by actual first hand written facts.
  22. Great spoof, whoever's posted that and the comments underneath.
  23. Reaction to the verdict above has been swift. Social Media has gone into meltdown as people around the world are stunned by the harshness of the decision and a petition has been started on Twitter by Mahatma Gandhi: "We, the undersigned, want to complain that the greatest rider speedway has ever or will ever know has suffered enuff and he should be awarded both the 2014 and the 2015 World Championship. He is a great man and my sister says he's well fit. I have to go now as my mum says it's time for my Alphabetti."
