am I the only one who think this subject is becoming crazy? what is it with injuries? could of? would of? riders EVERY year miss out on injury!.....the whole darcy thing is pathetic

who was best rider in 1967??????????? I ask that because, all that matters is the history book..in 30 yrs time NOBODY will mention darcy ward unless he wins the world title....until he makes history, hes just a list riders that made up the numbers!

I suppose id hope for better racing on sky nights woffy retaining title winning world cup since 89 would be nice (optimistic here, but very few would of picked woffy this yr) track covers to prevent rain offs tac sub when 6 down re-introduced better sound systems at some tracks

agree, sorry, lets get back to subject

pboro, Newcastle, worky, somerset

I am no ford fan, I just admire what he has achieved..who wudda brought greg hancock in with the wage he clearly commands..what promoters would of taken that gamble? winning equals sponsorship---larger crowds---more sky air time.---.trophies----atmosphere in stadium---bigger crowd attendance to any track they visit----which mean bigger income for YOUR club

puzzled by the people constantly knocking poole..a promoter with a winning mentality? yes pls everyday of the week

agree with all of above, all I was trying to say is, as a fan in the 70s (don't mean to harp back), yes still had guest riders, I just preferred pre-doubling up, knowing whose in what team, and not seeing same riders every other week in different race jackets...im fully aware it has to be how it is, and personally bringing in 20 odd national lge riders isn't a step forward for me..(know people will disagree), but surely its up to promoters to spot talent and sign them up themselves..after all, we do have the current world champion, who was spotted and came through the ranks. I DONT claim im rite, I personally unsure, and come October I would happily hold my hands up and say I was wrong....after all, this forum is opinions, and we all differ

I think I said the world cup almost got it rite..totally agree with you bout the joker rule..i do believe the gps are credible, and I wasn't havin a pop at lge racing, but it isn't easy to sell to a large audience, when things like 1 guest riders appear 2 r/r 3 poole last season racing with 4 guests and r/r 4 doyle riding at 1 with Birmingham whilst in prem lge, the list could be endless..just think personally, gps come across in the main as a proper sport

could you explain why that post is a joke? if riders wear 3 different race jackets a week does that do the sport credit? do you know who owns who anymore? gp rules are far more locktite than lge racing, unless you pinpoint what is soo wrong with the post?

know not all will agree here, but I preferred riders having there own leathers, rather than team colours.. even tho most still know whose who, there was something special bout john Louis tiger leathers, ole olsen in his black etc.. think they stood out more and looked more charasmatic

its difficult to feel you are ever watching "your team" when they are doubling up elsewhere, nite after nite.. it feels riders are just earning there crust riding where ever, whenever..course they have to make a living, but it get to a stage when you don't even know who owns who..the sport itself is fine, but the product is let down by a whole host of things.. it needs lock tight rules like the gp..gp racing comes across as professional, and the w.cup almost has it rite..

any team not winning the league after topping it would be disappointed, but this format, rightly or wrongly is not a new thing, the league title is decided in a play off format..simple..hence poole are league champions Mod Note: Please remember to use vowels in your words too! - no abbreviations/txt spk please.

nice 1 bellers, its 1 thing having an opinion, but when people start talking as a spokesman for redcar fans, it typifies tsunami..

totally unbelievable..this person now knows what redcar fans thinks!....my god, should change name to google, you know it all...

sorry gustix,l just have this "person" constantly replyin as he don't think people has a rite t their view if it differ from his!

really think tsunami may need medication..yet again, he not only following my posts, hes now including me in other peoples posts!..check his last comment "bring the masses back to speedway"..GET REAL.....you really think domestic speedway can get masses on terraces, when theres only 2nd rate riders left?....reckon you were the type of person who thought sky tv would save this sport!.......its run by clowns, until double point rides, guest riders, doubling ups, are rmoved and promoters promte and QUALITY line ups appear, the word MASS will never happen......its not us fans you should get knarked at, its promoters who has made such useless moves who have dragged this sport in the gutter..just cos we moan, don't mean we don't like speedway, we moan cos we can actually see how its been ruined!!

you spot on mate, agree with you totally..

for what its worth, it was a spelling mistake on my part, I realised that afterwards, and if that's only your point of reply,why bother!!

just for 1 moment, in the fantasy of a bbc official thinking of putting a rider up, the presenter on the night has to talk about the sport in question........In tia"s league racing, what is the format????........don't know, not been decided yet......what channel can we watch speedway????.....don't know, not been decided yet....

couldn't agree more, when you go to work to next day, you ever here anyone talking bout the match on tv last nite?..

as a fan in the 70s, before the stupid double rule, speedway was credible, was always the guest rule, but in the main, it was 1 rider, 1 team. I not got a clue, who owns who nowadays!!..
