A lot of Passion from you WK ,and i agree with everything you have said but i am afraid in our lifetimes things won't get better.The world Championships were changed no real input into what the fans wanted.Ok the series has turned out to be great still not my cup of tea but i do appreciate it has moved the sport forward.But at onetime we had a powerfull league singing the tune with a great one off championships that had lasted the test in time maybe needed tweaking but not changing.Now England look to be struggling league wise and a GP Series that is totally isolated from league speedway.

Get in reality Latvia have some talent,the days of us just turning up are long gone surely you knew Latvia had talented riders?

If it is so simples, why don't we do it ?Latvia are there with us on merit they are better than us we now need to regroup have a longterm plan but it will never happen though.

Are you arrogant Matt to just presume we would/ or should just turn up and beat that opposition.No fluke they were better than us end of forget yesterday what do we do for the future!! that's the question!

Yes agree ER,Streety when i see him a nice guy signed Autogaphs always looked old what a legend he was took speedway forward to another level.Crump senior legend for me mega a legend my hero Newport i think going back to Swindon v Newport with Crumpy, Streety, Herne, Tebby Trigg Coles we did lose quite a few to them i am sure they hammered us once at home?

Dont agree Frigbo, and now to be honest is the right time to have a total rethink.IF you think a change of team manager would make a mega amount of difference i am not convinced.We are not good anough end of ok we might have finished 3rd or 2nd but we have our limitations we need to rebuild Middleditch as a manager is not bad his record is there to be seen Rob Lyon what has he ever done talks well that's it.

Put God in charge it would still be a tough job,except we are not anough at the moment maybe go a different route but i don't see things ever changing in my lifetime.

I am mate? hope you are good mate a poor night tonight move on i suppose.

You don't go my friend! Do you ever watch live British speedway? Na so in my eyes your opinion means ZiLCh saying that you talk the talk take a deep breath and listen to others OPINIONS(not mine) and maybe you might learn something!

So easy now in hindsight, Barker should not even had been in it NW, i like him but he has had chances felt so sorry for him tonightSteve Brum said he would pick Howarth over Auty is harsh tonight Ritchie and Josh would of done better than Barker and Brum should no more than me because he has seen them more on a regular basis.!

Harsh but true blu.

Great picture i am sure i have a picture of Jansson leading Mauger in this meeting a lovely picture i will buy it probably if my wife allows me.!

Nice to see Darryl Ritchens doing well for the IOW a great meeting last night at Kings Lynn.I hope he progresses and has a career at Swindon like Crash,Kilb,Dukey,Wellie,Rosco,the Smarts and Chessells be rooting for him to achieve it.!

I also would love to see one big league different venues, tonight i believe an away win might happen.

The rules are a joke how can the sport ever be considered professional this rule well unreal really. Respect great post.

Agree racing from the back you either have it or you don't Davis comes to mind a quick starter not a racer.Ok not a world beater but quick in front always had great aquipment see him win the Manpower once.And another gater i think was Kai Niemi again at his best quick.

Great shout WK my old chap liked Johnny Cash and raved about George Jones any good? a country singer.

Yes you are right NW see him a few times did not ever see Harrefelt who was classy live and Fundin which has always been a mega regret of mine.

Not for his team guest still good but you are right blu he has applied himself very well want him to do well.

Dont know did Lovaas ride for Newcastle for a season? 1970/71.?I see him for Reading and Hackney top class what i can remember of the Norwegians i can remember are Harrefelt (did not see live) Berg,Fossengen.

Eide, Lovaas,both were world class like you said not at the same time! Gunnestad again was exciting never quite fulfilled.

Da? forget the riding order Brummies are that way 1 to 7 is pretty solid if i had a guess Covatti will be no 7 in the averages on a 5.5 average not bad eh. Bridger riding 2nd div Czech stuff has done well i like him but his away average generally is not great also if he rode in the PL he would be no more than a top ten rider be below if anything.

These guys you mentioned are all certainly better on bigger tracks? Cook, certainly has proved his worth Worrall and Auty are all better than Bridger on bigger tracks.He is decent though and if he does well great i will applaud but he always has done well at home at Eastie and Lakeside massive homer tracks what is his away average?

Sinatra ( my mum and dad did not like) said he was overrated Bias maybe!Who were your heroes WK ? Me dad liked Holly,Nelson,Cochran died in ( Chippenham a great loss the guy was a force would of been around for years.!

A bit harsh SCB i hope you are right ,i like Barker he gives everything and won't give an inch but Cook should be a starter.
