Sidney the robin

A really good idea hope you are right i fear for Thursday's meeting we could get walloped.

Stancl------- T. Kasper------ Ales Dryml---- Matousek____ L.Dryml. Milik will eventually make the top five.

Carter at Oxford he was in a wheelchair was he not in between races.? Wont phase Doyle though he is a grinder as well as being a class act a great example to others believe in yourself work hard and anything is possible.

What would be interesting i cant be bothered to look back,maybe it could be on Brian Collins website?? was his record at Ascot.? On the little technical tracks yes what a force he would of been but what about the big uns like at Belle Vue,Swindon,Halifax,Sheffield,White City ( outclassed in 77 Penhall was competetive Bast had a superior pedigree to Penhall then) Exeter.All those answers niggle away Penhall and Hancock are two examples without England they would of never of been world champions in my view. I do respect Mr Hyam;s opinion and he has made a very good case from the Americans perspective.

I actually dont take this blokes opinion to seriously to be honest i listen to the likes of Briggs/Mauger and they both rated Bast so that was good anough for me.Also most of us on here respect Bast i certainly do and from interviews seems like a really nice bloke.But to put Bast in front of Autrey and Sigalos for me is a big slur on those two those two did it against world class riders Bast did not.Also i find the Muller/Bast comparison amazing Muller was World Class most of us on my bus who went to Norden in 83 had him favourite we all wanted him in the sweep stake.Bast say for example if he had qualfied for the Coliseum in 1982 and this is my own opinion only even with a month's practice on that track he still would not of been good anough to be World Champion i am convinced of that.The reasons for that is he had not got the experience for one and had not learned the ropes and paid his dues.

Barged really ? did he do anything illegal ? he was brave thats it he will be the 2017 World Champion.

I dont know who this Dalosio bloke is but what he has said here is way off the mark most of us on here know Bast was talented but he didnt go and prove himself.He stayed in his safety zone beat the locals it was a big disapointment to me that Bast did not come to Britain Wimbledon would of been ideal for him.As for this Dalosio bloke where is AUTREY. SiGALOS, in the list it is staggering and as for this quote Bast would of been multi time world champion he is deluded.

He was not very hairy at the Abbey he scored a big fat 0 😜🤓

World Championship rounds have been held there 1971 the last one ??? Briggs eliminated it was big forgot that getting old😂 i suppose West Ham would be one of the bigger english tracks along with Crewe.

The one who was born in Dunedin New zealand .😜

Briggs------ Mauger------ Moore------ Shirra-------- Mardon. ( Ron Johnson and Larry Ross the next two.

Bobby really was an exciting rider a lovely style and he was not to shabby either at Newcastle in his Div 2 days.Paulco was Coatbridge the largest track you ever went to ? and did you see Christer Siosten/Egon Muller ride there?.I saw Muller score 0 at the Abbey for Coatbridge then 10 years later he went on and become World Champ.

I always thought that was Oyvind's best form when at Glasgow i only saw Glasgow a few times also saw Coatbridge as well Jimmy mac, Monk,Beaton, Hunter C.Sjosten great seeing those teams you usually only see them once a year.

Mckinlay------ Mcmillan----- Hunter------ Beaton------- Harkins

Bloody hard this. Jason Crump. -------- Vic Duggan------- Young------ Sanders------- Crump (senior)

Autrey------- Penhall------- Sigalos------- S.Moran-------- K.Moran.

I would go with Briggoes selections, G laguta would get in but cant because of his career path.

Bruce Penhall ------ Jack Milne------- Greg Hancock------- Shawn Moran------ Scott Autrey.

Oyvind S Berg was quite popular at Oxford wasnt he Steve? him along with Middleton and the underated Genz all were Oxford legends.

We also should not forget Oyvind Berg a useful rider indeed.

The good thing is mate i cant see him riding for them in the top flight so hopefully he would want to ride for us.

Knudsen was top class and he was very unlucky in 1986 at his best he could compete with Hans/Erik so unlucky with injury.

My order would be. Harrfeldt____ Lovaas ------- Eide-------- Holta ------- Gunnestad. great thread the Aussies one would be interesting.

Atkins was there last night ORLOV" do you know why he didnt ride was he injured or maybe had exams.? Last night there was some good racing the Culpitt v Priest race was good also the Zach v Roynon races were very interesting.I dont know what you think but young Hampshire has something there is a good young rider in there somewhere.

Again last night he was superb quick really smooth and if Swindon treat him as a longterm asset he has loads of improvement.Last night in his last ride Roynon gated him yet he came through on the second lap and we all know Roynon is no slouch.For me his next aim next year is to try and move up the ladder in the Championship he has the potential to be a longterm big player in that league.I just hope Swindon dont lose him through the points game ( averages) he has to get a place i am pleased for him because he is a level headed young man.
