THINK you probably right here...don't think the racing was any closer, we just had big names, big crowd better atmosphere, probably slightly better rules, better package, but yeah, racing probably the same

quite right sid, gulf oil british league, easily best era for me, proper world championship with shock knock-outs along the way, seeing different riders in every world final, and every rider turning up having 5 rides to become world champion.....its all about opinions, and knowing what i saw and what i see, i prefer what i saw!! definately not the rubbish rider sharing!

carry on saying your piece Gresham, its up to people to respond or not. I personally never knew someone got killed on concrete start grid, so I learnt something..

its not about the top boys, but that's probably why you standing in a deserted stadium

think riders can cope with 3 leagues, like any top sportsmanit comes down to desire

think its more likely poole will suffer than his gp

agree with all but one sentence...visual package isn't better now....atmosphere yes, definitely correct. visually seeing the likes of olsen, mauger, briggs definitely better than todays offerings. the sports the same, rules are worse, d/u is stupid, but it is definitely down to atmosphere. play offs prove that

from my memory, wasn't there far far far more council housing than there is today? id never say its easy for kids today, its incredibly difficult, but I certainly don't recall it being easy from relatives

so you believe all pensioners had it easy....my god, education has a lot to answer for!

yeah agree its a stupid thought,

think you would be surprised by the people staying away because of the way it run. new owners would/could rejuvenate foxhall

radio commentary really good

some pathetic views of "assuming" pensioners paid for their homes, and knowing how they spend their money!

when does the fastest make you the best? its more about throttle control I thought?

think you will find this is a discussion thread on a forum...now I personally never saw the concrete starts, and I was also unaware that somebody died on them. but now you "politely" inform me of this I understand your point of view....not to difficult to be polite is it? intead of calling a thread mental?

always and forever been over-rated

why come on it? go elsewhere to a thread that suit.......simple!

freddie williams wales! think i got figs different, i make it 14 denmark and sweden, 12 new zealand 9 england?? IVAN MAUGER HAD BAD LUCK IN 73!! whats your point???

do we know the reason for ending concrete starts? think a warning /exclusion for rolling back AFTER the start marshall got you placed would help, as lets face it, they only roll back for one reason.....to cheat!

21 point max at last yr world cup? please check your facts!!!!!!

WAS ALSO the free picking of gates, where Olsen constantly went off gate 1

would Poland of had a 73 world champ if mauger didn't fall? theres a question mark over virtually every years event!...woffy won the title twice sofar..FACT, gollob won it once...FACT

??? you a wind up or what??? call for the white coats!.....watching tom p madsen beat gollob with ease round foxhall was embarrassing, the man gave up loads of times at the back....of course gollob is/was a talent, but his record wont come close to woffy! wake up and smell the roses!!

nice post that bluejam...hope he reads that

didnt lennox lewis make his millions in las vegas?.....(personally believe tai should do brit final) BUT, in a short career, anyone would make their millions where they can, its natural
