Sidney the robin

I dont really worry to much about his tarnished reputation for me as an all round rider of all disiplines he was a class act over a long period of time.Very similar to Leigh Adams always in control a very measured rider.

If he wins seven Bruno that would be great but does that tell you the overall level might not be as tough as some of the other era's.Also with the way the series is now the scoring system (etc) i believe Ivan winning 6 one off finals was alot harder than winning the series as it is now both of course take different qualities to do so.

Spot on Colin you have to take into consideration the era and this era was a very very strong one god you were doing very well just to get near a WTC squad.

Pretty much how i feel you cannot forget that Craven was about in a very good era Fundin awesome Briggs a force for a long time he won two titles before his death at 29.Who is to say he would not of won more titles Collins and Lee are in the mix and i am in agreement with you the best of Lee was as good as anybody i have ever seen ride.Back to Tai brilliant he deserves every accolade he gets a great rider and i hope he goes on and wins more titles.

Brennan was very impressive in that tough championship Ipswich round early in the season and impressed at Swindon beating Woryna/ Jackobsen he showed great nerve in heat 2 there.

Totally agree with everything you said and as Norbold said all the greats had quality in a different way.Price,Farndon,Craven,Lee, Collins,Williams ( Welsh) Tai you can only beat what is in front of you at the time.I was never a fan of Tai never ever wanted him to be mentioned in the same breath as Lee but you have to.He has grown on me and i have great respect for what he has achieved and I hope it continues with Lambert soon joining him.

I think Madsen deserves to be in it, the series needs to allow fresh blood in and on current form he is certainly a top 16 rider.He also has a good chance of doing well because he is such a good gater will he get in? i have my doubts.I think with Puk and Pedersen( wildcard) he will miss out 3 Danes???

Really interesting what you say for most ask Bickley moving to Championship level how difficult it i s a big ask.Brennan i have seen only once this year see him as a youth rider but he has real ability a nice style.Jenkins is the same he has had a difficult year this year but he will be fine out of the others i like Rowe and Edwards both can move forward.

He' will not come on this forum again in my opinion I.e.) because he is arrogant and he will stick out like a sore thumb.I never liked him ever but there were others on this forum who licked his ass Shawn this Shawn that if I had my way i would feed him to the pigs.

Yes sorry JJ up there with Kemp and has a great future ahead of him.

Drew Kemp is the big stand out in 2018 but others have done well and these are the riders that i have kept an eye on.It will be interesting to hear your views on how you feel they are doing. Kemp- Mountain- Thomas- Rowe- Atkins- Hume- Spooner- Marston- Kinsley - Lawlor- Brennan- Brooks-Edwards-Jenkins any thoughts.?

Did i ever say put in CHARGE by the way it cannot be run any worse than it is at the moment.

Lee Kilby along with Neil Vatcher are the future Kilby has done a great job at Swindon is great with the kids and is very approachable.Vatcher what more can you say he has done a great job with the young guns and he has helped put us on the road to a bright future.Boocock/ Adams what more can you say about those two as far as i know both have had no real influence on the major decisions of the last 30 years they cannot be associated with failure..Machin well he kept Sheffield afloat in very difficult times and it is down to him that Sheffield speedway is still operating.Forget the five i named i am sure everybody could name there own five but my main point is with five people they can be made accountable transparency put in place and with five heads you are more and likely agoing to get the right decisions made on the important issues.Speedway is not a sport in my opinion to come into if you have no idea of how it works and how it operates and what breed of people actually go I would say it is one of the most difficult sports to turn around and prosper i think the first thing is to try and get stability back in the sport.

Does old stadia for most clubs all over the country hold the sport back for me this is the biggest problem.

No i know none of them personally Kilby ( jnr) i know to say hello great guy just like his dad.!!'

Did you not realise Hearn turned his nose up at speedway old stadia (ect) .If you think some guy who has run a successful pizza joint is going to be able to come in and turn British speedway around good luck with that.

Anyone with no knowledge of the sport coming in blind would sink faster than the Titanic

Total nonsense worst post ever from you Matt those five know more about speedway than you would ever hope to know.

Hi Barry was going to come over for the Birmingham match but the last train home was 9.30 so didnt bother.What ferry is best for me Portsmouth or Southampton ? i live in Swindon.Anyway good luck in the future you and your staff are doing a great job keep up the great work. By the way all the IOW dvd footage on you tube is brilliant as well superb.

Collins/Mort around hyde rd sublime and the great Ivan before them Briggo had alot of success against Ivan at Hyde Rd though Ove.!!!

I fancy you against Kings Lynn not convinced with Puk also they rely on the young un Lambo one hell of alot.Your meeting against Somerset is still in the balance for me i think Lawson/ Covatti are the weak links they need to perform.

That track has so many lines Doyle just did not know who to fend off he was hustled out of it.I went to Hyde rd quite alot and i loved it there a brilliant track this track MIGHT be better.????

What i liked was Craig was forceful on Doyley ( fair) no crying from Jason though i think it is great when Craig works the inside.

On the big issues could there be a FAIR voting system put in place.?

With a spam buttie thrown in!! are you going Doris ? also how are Ciren doing?
