Are the Poles like the German's ? ( Germany did it in football) if they don't like something they just don't go vote with there feet other nations just put up with it.

Lambert really has impressed me this year i was worried last year that his career might just end up petering out.Over the years i really thought Mel Taylor,Mark Courtney,( etc) could push on but none of them ever managed it and in Lambert we can see what a real talent he is.His next step is to keep his focus keep working hard and with the great help of his Mum /Dad build up his aquipment he will be ready for a assault on the World stage in three years time i believe.

A great debate for another day but my take on it would be a PEAK Collins would beat a PEAK Woffinden in a best of 20 races.My theory on this is that PC could actually gate on a level par with Tai which over the years was a Collins weakness.But the deciding factor would be that Collins had the ability to come from the back he is by far the best rider i have ever seen in that department.

Yes you are right we can judge Tai after his career has finished Collins is certainly the best International team rider i have ever seen ride Craven, P.C, Lee, Tai, for me are all special in there own way. I suppose it is best to judge them on your own personal experience of seeing them ride ( unfortunately i never got to see Craven)

A great post spot on about Tai/England but the greatest rider we have ever had? i personally would not agree with that but he does have a great case.

This year Auty has been better than Harris at Championship level and the riders in that group can all beat each other on one given day.Lambert,Cook,S.Worrall,Bewley for me are easily the top four riders we have alongside Tai.Cook is the one that has a few question mark's to answer even this Monday in the British Final he is not the favourite a big night for him.

Great day for British speedway well done Tai, Lambert was immense really showed his class he can now kick on in his quest to gate crash the World scene a proud day.

Was it just great riding by the Scunny pair or was it a poor Lindgren ride ? for me Robbo lifting decided the race it changed the race completely. Robbo lifted Auty came underneath him and then got the speed on the outside to make a final charge great race though.

Thanks Sotonian great stuff.

Can anyone put a stream on for the Pairs please ??? thanks.

Great stuff Sam.

The NL now has some real talent riding in that League a mixture of all ages with some great youngsters coming through.Who would be your top ten riders in that league here goes ( no order) Morley. - Hume.- Mountain.- Roynon.- Bailey.- Flint.- Kemp.- Bacon.- Brennan.- Bowen.-

RIP Vic sadly missed.

To be honest bruv he was in a tough position tonight he did his job chuffed to bits for Hume/Mountain they scored ten between them. Both were unlucky as well Witches have two good longterm Ipswich riders for the future in Mountain/Hume.

Nasty surely you have more thing's to worry about in your life.????

I have and his time has long gone as i have said before Adams/ Oliver are the best two team managers i have ever known.Boocock/Thomas also are worth a mention.

Have Cupitt and Butcher maybe got a month to push on or will the managerial team make changes.? Or maybe they might take a different stance patience knowing the top four plus Walker will win most matches therefore letting those lads develop.

I think if you win a title like Doyle did by making changes and to be honest he should be a double World Champion you know you cannot take any short cuts.If you put in the graft physically and fail i am sure it is easier to except rather than something in the back of your mind saying if only i had put in that extra yard.

Did he not come in until 1973 mate??

Oliver created a real local feel he was well ahead of his time at Vue with local riders given a chance.The 1972 team of Mauger ,Pusey,Sjosten,Wilko,Collins,Eyre,Broadbelt is still the greatest side i have ever seen.

Could Brum possibly look at Josh Embleton ??? he would be an interesting signing..At home with Hume,Bacon,Flint,Shanes, you are looking at 43 plus points don't see anybody beating them there just think Josh could do well at reserve.

They are one of the strongest teams around but they could improve there team even more if they wanted to.Also Hume/Bacon were not always big hitters they were given a chance at Birmingham what was Hume's average at Rye House 3.70ish ? Shanes comes into replace JPB so like for like really.

The thing that Daniel pointed out is that we are trying to bridge the gap which is great and you have to applaud the forward thinking in that.I have heard great thing's about Olly Allen, and the Poultec training regime has been brilliant for a lot of riders.For me fitness in speedway is the first thing you need without that you have no chance of succeeding the mental side is massive also having a trusted team around you.For me though competition is important like test matches at all levels that needs to come back also regular practice sessions and testing can we ever do that because of the pathetic curfew's.?? We have some real talent coming through but as we all know so have the other countries look at Poland outside of the established Poles they have Drabik,Smektala,Kubera and endless others showing potential.A long haul ahead and it is so much more to it than who is the choice of team manager myself personally i would love England to be a major player again.

Yes totally agree and i would have the late great Dent Oliver on par with Adams.

Rob Lyon really?????? not a hope Vatcher he has my full respect he stays in his-current position a great bloke done one hell of a job great with the youth and he is one hell of a asset to Team GB.Ok Rossiter is not everybody's cup of tea myself included i don't particularly get on well with him but i do respect him though.Another point is Woffinden does not run the show? he rides because he wants to if not stay in exile like i said before unless regular test matches are held and regular training sessions on the riding side are held i don't see us competing to win thing's for a long time.
