Pioneer probably not was Autrey a pioneer? would you say Keeter was more of one than Scott.?The Poles when they came over in my memory never had real full seasons always interrupted hard to judge.

Third twice in world finals with a high total 13 points not bad surely? he did ok in Brtain surely his averages show just how hard the old BL was.?

Thanks Colin fair play.

Have a look at your posts mate over the years spelling average speedway input ZILCH.What are you doing for a living working for Mcdonalds ? working until you are 75 more and likely ENJOY my friend and what is your BuM chum SCB doing?.?

What a couple of C...s you both are and I believe you and SCB have something to say??certainly SCB anyway.!

Yes your point? Woryna surely even at his advanced stage in Britain was better than the blokes you named.?.? Please!!!

Maybe Frigbo he meant? the first to make an impression? Teo i know averaged between six /seven the rest up until Woryna were only average?then Edward/ Plech were the real benchmark.?

But most of us old farts except those days are over and except that progress has to happen.But we don't have to agree that thing's are better they should be but for me they are not.It is not just Speedway i loved growing up in the 70s and i would have those times all day long over how it is in this country now.One thing though what happens when all us old farts die off? who will replace them.? Well it is for generation to find the answers,and i don't think me and WK are on our Zimmer frames yet.!!

I need a doggies bag. See you then you can p..s off for another three and a half years why bother not that you know anything about 1960! anyway.

I recon you would get alot of people who were once regular speedway supporters going for this one/off if it was promoted and advertised properly.Wembley is a draw for me,if you went for the practice stayed over the weekend see the sites and then the meeting London has alot going for it.Also you would get a larger foreign contingent coming over for London because the place even if i am am not a lover of it is a pull.

I don't class you or i as an old Fart or a fossil Custom, it did make me laugh though.I actually like the series i still prefer the old WC always will,Wembley was some day out a special occasion and what was special was i spent it with my Dad.Am i wrong Custom? did the series have an affect on British speedway am i the only one that believes it.?

All i know is now eight riders now are guaranteed a series spot every year leaving eight spots is that a FAIR system.?

I did Custom very much a great rider for me,but there were other great riders also around at the same time.I still think 1972 Barry could of equaled the great Ove's reord,it was not to be Briggo for me was an icon great value as a punter Bloody exciting to watch he was a credit to the sport.

Doyley Nick.Zengi those three should be Certs for me next year and Charlie Wright has been decent he also can improve again.

Are you sure Rob? also you said it all he TOPPED the qualifiers Jack so he certainly deserved to be in it.Tai i am a big fan, want him to go on and win five titles which he is well capable of doing that year he was given a FREEBIE wild card after to be honest he had failed badly in the series.No comparison to Jack Young who we all know was a GREAT rider he earned it by getting through the Qualifiers now the qualifying system is suspect.

Woryna was good underrated i see him about fourFive times he was quality the Poles in Britain we love watching them ride here nothing has changed.

Bloody hell i am worried Orion, i always believed as long as the new stadium was not completed the old one stayed.Also when the stadium started in 49 i thought there was something in the deeds legally saying there will always have to be a sporting activity on that land bloody worried now.

You are right Orion,but you start out in March/April for me Longevity wins a title Birmingham the other year were so unlucky also most of the year they named the same seven.Orion you are right maybe because we don't have added fixtures midland cup,Knock out cup as in yesteryear we look at it more who knows? any news on the stadium? i am worried to be honest.

Agree to a point but i cannot see why there is not a place for a Champion who deserve it over a period.Then you can add the added excitement of a four teamer in a real cut throat cup Scenario of a knockout cup anyway for me the play/offs is dying.

Shocked me Vincent i know we were fourteen points behind the crowd i thought was poor no discount no tenner a head and loads of freebies still getting free entrance.

I think if you are honest at Swindon we were 14 behind but i still believed we had a chance but the bottom line was we were not good anough.This Play/off thing is a myth is it good NO in my view why? is it WRONG to have a Winner a team who wins over a longer period.

With Eddie Z both really good riders, just wish we could of seen more of them in Britain Plech had a real chance in 73.

I like your certainty Fag,!! fair play have you ever considered being a politician?

He got a wildcard is that right? after being a failure before,i am so glad Tai got his chance fair play to him.Be real Oldace the old romance of the underdog in the WC has long gone all i am saying is in SIMPLE terms the Series certainly helped to change british speedway for the good or for the bad down to the individual to decide. Not rubbish just my opinion,where have the British Qualifiers gone? do we only have two British Semi Finals which include 32 British riders.?

Are you for real? so every NL, premier,League and EL rider can enter is that right? TECHNICALLY you are right but in the real world this does not happen where are the qualifiers Croatia,Italy, all at the riders expense.Where are OUR qualifiers Oldace? where nearly every rider got a chance one thing's for certain Oldace you would not be getting a Jack Young winning a WC now would you.? So the series had no affect on British Speedway yes or No?
