Where Is British Speedway Going.
stratton replied to mc1874's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I am very surprised Matt , you surely are not that naive,if you go out with a couple of mates have a beer and debate sometimes we all tend to be bias have an agenda do you not think.?We all need that middle man person to intervene if this happened in speedway i believe over a period the sport would improve.The promoters pay the bills and put they're reputations on the line but if they're was a TOGETHERNESS in all leagues ( which we all know is sadly lacking) things could really improve but it will never happen in my lifetime. -
These rules are killing the sport, do we all know them all?i think it will be great if Lambert goes to Newcastle.He will learn because Newcastle is a tough track to master and a number of great/ good riders have progressed at this club.Lambert this bloke i really rate he has not proved anything yet but he is exciting a raw talent .ROSEN ( who i rate will be back) and Henry a great club man and a decent PL rider who is capable of popping out and beating the best i feel for him but the management have been bold i don't agree with them but i admire them having the balls to make big changes.

Nothing to do with ambition,they're are not anough meeting's in the EL that's even if you are lucky anough to have a club in Sweden and Poland.The bills have to be paid and Cook for example is a very ambitious man but he wants to keep busy and odviously earn money.I believe the PL has the best product now in Britain, with hopefully more of the likes of King joining it will even make it stronger.

Swindon V Lakeside 8th May

Does your head in this crap weather in England, was really looking forward to tonight's meeting another Thursday without speedway.! -
Brummies V Wolverhampton 7th May
stratton replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
A tad harsh even for you WItcher? if the rules were set in stone from the beginning for everyone cheating would not be an option but i do see where you are coming and you are right though. -
I wondered by changing back to the Friday night slot,that will surely suit the Scunny lads alot more.Certainly Auty will enjoy it,will the promotion be able to keep the grip on the track alot longer making the entertainment value even better.And by all accounts this year there has been some great action as usual are SKY visiting this year?I hope so in my opinion the BRITISH FINAL should be at this venue or Sheffield/Somerset fed up with with Wolverhampton getting it every year.

Robert Lambert Mouthing Off In The Star. Oh Dear.
stratton replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I personally think he will cope with the EL ok he might struggle with some of the tracks but talent wise he will be fine,Is this year also a big year for him is he doing his studies?so has he the time to do NL and PL with his German commitments? -
Riders Who Draw In The Crowds
stratton replied to ColinMills's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I think he rode for Wolves in 76 he did double up, i just felt his heart was not in the BL he averaged 4.95 mainly in the top five not bad and he certainly was a BL rider.J.Owen was a star no doubt Jackson,Etheridge,and Lawson stood out as stars for me in that sphere. -
Riders Who Draw In The Crowds
stratton replied to ColinMills's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Jackson was a terrific rider i see him ride for Wolves i think he went full time? he was a rider at NL a real star not quite as good as Joey though Tom before he broke a leg nearly on par three great riders. -

stratton replied to A ORLOV's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League

Cook if he wanted to?it is a bit to soon for him maybe he would be out of his debth at TIMES but at times he would be competetive because he is fast and can gate. -
Adams,Sigalos,Jessup,Sanders,Carter are all riders who could of won the WC but for some all different reasons didnt i would place DJ behind all of them named.

Any newcomer watching the sport for the first time would of enjoyed this meeting and would watch again.It just shows what a great sport and product that we have such a shame that everybody cannot work together. And really push the whole speedway scene forward criminal really can it happen in my lifetime i very much doubt it. -

Good point Bruce did outfox Ole and that was rarely done but my point was if Chris had not of been so alert and aware and was head down that could of been a dire incident in the semi Final. -

They were all hard but fair,do you not think the race was similar to the Penhall v Olsen race in 81?where Ole fairly gave Bruce racing room at the finish.Nicki is great value and a great rider but for me he pushes thing's a tad to far.
