should check out daily star (cover speedway every Wednesday) full woffy page pic/story. he says he will retire on the podium when he smash their record on the 7th world championship

just wonder what you view is about hancock? why such a long gap from 1st to 2nd world title?

surprised too about nicki missing out. probably more so because im sure he would get more bums on seats then zagar, but that doesn't make it the right reason

most definitely, I recall a lot of standard racing too in that meeting, but couple of Penhall rides outstanding. similar to los Angeles, again just a couple of outstanding rides, again with Penhall, but never as good as wembly. thought briggo did great commentary on that

im sure someone will know this answer to this, but why was Wembley 81 the last one there? I believe around 80,000 plus there..

ok, think that "discussion" would of ran and ran! your last post probably correct, yes did enjoy the old system, maybe I shouldn't compare them..

is someone sugesting todays league in uk is stronger then the past? please tell me that isn't true?

yes correct....but when people say you have the best 16 in the world, just never been true

The wildcard system just does what the eastern block did...of course the eastern block were poor, but it is STILL, now to do with having certain nationalities involved. Andy Smith, bomber, just two examples, never top 16 riders....

not quite a FACT...its not regardless of nationality...because how/why did Tai get in? was it not due to lack of GB riders? they always has to be a Swede, Zagar just got re-entered (suspect) to a Slovenian GP...

I don't think it was designed to find the best "16" riders in the world due to the eastern block contingent. Of course it had luck involved, anything with sudden death nights has that eliment, but as a spectator, I found that part of the excitement. Again I can only say what I preferred. (whilst this part is slightly off topic), british final (part of the qualifying),was cut throat, you had the rostrum places to watch, plus the cut off mark. you never had this 6th spot finish, then could still end up being british champion..as I said earlier I liked the variation of riders along the way..of course it wasn't perfect, not always brilliant, but every rider had their "dream"..Did Jerzy win because of luck? or should Mauger of bided his time? theres loads of differences and I agree with you on some points, but on the whole, we will never agree

Ok, cos you put FACT in capitals, you must be right

I have never used the FACT word once..please show me if I have? I am not trying to PROVE one off finals better either, I have only said what I preferred, and no amount of what you or anyone else suggest would change my mind, and im sure that's the same visa versa....its opinions that differ

quite simply if you enjoy todays GPs, carry on enjoying it, if you think todays GP carry on thinking it..just don't call it a FACT

have a fans protest live on BT, NOW THAT WOULD MAKE THE PRESS!!

I see you picked the weak pairings....ricky wells and brock really compare to Penhall and Sigalos!! and as for "colin mills prefers" is different to making so called FACTS that are nowhere near FACTS

something that unites the forum!!!

brainless whoever passed this......thick as ****...these people pretend to have the best interest of speedway at heart

happened with nicholls last year, beyond stupid

we comparing world cup line ups now? again preferred 70s!

not sure how he can even claim those as facts....but hey ho

actually think that's a tad unfair on their ability, as for that period, they WERE the best, and as we all know, you can only beat whats in front of you, and ALL sports progress...Bristow wouldn't get near a title today, but stars of yesteryear, leads us to where we are today

awful league, its on life support...you now have reports of "bumper crowds" when theres only 1,500 in the place!

for me Ole Olsen....its all a viewpoint, that's all....

two we know of.....look, carry on enjoying what you have if it floats YOUR boat, it just has very stale appeal to me...same line up different week, as for league racing, not a single crowd puller in sight
