Time for King Kong, that'll see me through until 6

I've got the same dilemma, anyone got any speed?

Got a horrible feeling he's going to touch the tapes!

Just stuck £100 on Darcy to win heat 1 at 1/2, surely an easy £50. If not, I'll be depressed for the rest of the meeting!

They should be bending over backwards to accommodate us. After all, we gave them the Queens English and learnt them how to talk proper.

Why don't they just start the meeting at 6am on Sunday, so I can watch it at 6pm on Saturday? It's not good enough.

Well deserved.

He spent 78-79 at Hackney where he didn't pull up any trees then retired at 24 after being badly affected by Vic Hardings death.

True, he was on the verge of an England call up in '91 when he broke his arm so badly that at one point they thought he might even lose it. Never the same rider after that.

Although he played his part in Hackneys '88 domination, Gary Rolls would've scored a lot more points if he had spent less time looking behind him during his races!

I find Greg Hancock quite boring to watch as well, whereas I thought his twin Billy Hamill was brilliant to watch. The wrong one retired!

You can't base your argument on "had gp's been around", the fact is they wasn't so no one knows what would have happened. Saying world titles were almost handed to him on a plate is ridiculous, were the other riders told "you're not allowed to beat Tony!"

Remember him having great battles with Alan Grahame and Shawn Moran at Wimbledon at the world games tournament in 85. Don't know how you can say a six times world champion isn't close to being the best rider ever! Every rider had the same opportunities in the gp, Rickardsson won more races because he was the best rider.

I think he said himself he wasn't much of a gater early on and he taught himself how to gate. (Maybe there's hope for Chris Harris!) The first time I saw him was at Wimbledon in 89 or 90 in an open meeting. I remember him hugging the line and doing quite well.

Have you watched the 1991 world final? He did more overtaking than the rest of the field put together! Quite simply the best speedway rider ever.

I think that start line models are essential to the future of speedway. In fact I would go as far as to say that if it wasn't for the start line models I wouldn't even watch speedway. That's how strongly I feel about this subject.

BARRY THOMAS Never a superstar but everytime he came to the tapes you knew the next minute of your life was going to be good!

Andy Galvin used to defy gravity around Waterden road. I'll never forget the 5-1 he and Alan Mogridge (the legend) scored over Erik Gundersen in possibly the slowest race ever!

Done it.

Damn right!

I like it when people congratulate me on having sex. But then, I am quite good at it.

Anyone who hasn't won a gp.

True, can't argue with that!Congratulations Tai.

Bring it on home Tai, it's been a long 13 years!

Bengt Jansson was just before my time Sidney.My first speedway recollection is a rider in yellow leathers flying from the starting gate and winning practically every time, I would say it was Dag Lovaas in 1974. I would say my favourite Hackney rider was Bo Petersen, the way he rode in 1980 was just incredible. I still miss the old place, we had one year in 1996 in the posh stadium but the new track didn't compare with what I regarded as the best racetrack in the world.
