Sidney the robin

Yes Salty point taken at Belle vue hyde Rd unless you had reasonable stuff you would struggle.This year at the new Belle Vue again in a modern era if you are on s..t aquipment you will struggle.😀

Dean is it in the Deeds from 1949 that a sporting facility must stay there forever or is it a myth.? We shall see come September i know it seems mad but if speedway continues there they will still sell all those houses.

Your input is very interesting but one thing that puzzles me why does it bother people how long the thread goes on for and if people sometimes go off track.For me the Years gone by is the best thread on here you can learn alot Gustix i would suggest carry on posting you have a lot to offer. Salty do you believe Cradley over the years had more of a home advantage than Belle Vue Hyde Rd.Cradley for me was a very hard track to ride endless times i see Collins/Grahame pick riders off through track knowledge.Looking back often visiting riders might only visit a track once so hard to get and know a set up to be able to score points.

Can people actually believe that the Swindon fans have been lied to for so long.I fear the worst to be honest i just hope the old stadium is still up in September no bulldozer in sight.

Does it matter if it continues into the next century? if people want to comment they do if not it is there choice.😜

Sedgmen has real ability he showed again in Aussie how good he can be.At Swindon it didn't quite happen for him but he still ended up with a ok average.Maybe at Belle Vue he can show his true worth for me he will score more than R.Worrall certainly at home.

Certainly if King misses those meetings a definite no go.Fricke is the key for me if he shows his European form he could be a number 1 i have always rated the lad.The two young reserves stick with them hopefully it is not to soon but i am sure at home they will cope away a learning year for them

King for Bjerre certainly a play offs team i am not so sure with Bjerre in it an attractive team nonetheless.

King/Bates yes Bjerre no.

Have had Sky since the beginning but i am seriously thinking of knocking them on the head now .I have the BT sports channel and the Racing Channel if i change who should i go with?.I only watch the football/Boxing and Eurosport on sky the rest is crap.

Belle Vue v Cradley looking at it Ivan over Erik) PC/Sjosten over King/Wigg, Pusey over Collins, Grahame over Broadbelt Pedersen/Ravn over Eyre/Wilkinson Belle Vue just shade it also with Ivan's brilliance. If Penhall had been in it then it could of been different.

Do you honestly think we would of been second in any other format,Not a chance be real and this year without Tai who knows plenty of woes me thinks.😀

We came a false second last year with Tai carrying the England team. Also the crappy double points rule helped us cover over our limitations as a speedway nation.If nothing changes soon we will slip down even further down the rankings. There is hope though with the right guidance Bates,Ellis,Bewley,Smith,Parkinson Blackburn,Hume,Wood,Jenkins,Bickley,Brennan we have the talent there one or two of those could push on only with change though i hope so anyway.

I was like you Brum i was never a fan for me he looked out of his depth in his first year in the GPS.I thought he was lucky to get an invite without qualifying but boy has he turned his career around bigtime.I admire him so much for that hard work and graft dedication and TALENT has bagged him two titles.Maybe losing his dad really made him change spurred him on and he for me will win more titles i hope so anyway.

How many riders over the years have i heard that about,loads in my time watching speedway.On the other hand how many people really like Tai respect him and like him as a person quite alot i think.

My OPINION means nothing ok i am entitled to it. But does TAI worry about what people think on this forun NO is the answer.

Apart from this forum which to be honest does not count for anything i dont hear many people slagging Tai off.He has opinions and to be honest alot of what he says about England is true anyway ,i just enjoy watching him ride the other stuff is irrelevent to me.

The reason i rate Crump so highly is that at times he single handidly carried the Budgies.Also in 75/76 he genuinely had a chance of being WC on the Streety conversersion.Should he have left that engine in 75 just for the Final?? who knows.For me how lucky was i to see Briggs,Crump,Adams,Ashby,all terrific riders in there own right Adams to me was just like Simmo he made speedway look so easy.

Are Emil and the Pawlicki lads definate starters.?

But bright anough to have his own business interests and have a healthy lifestyle after his speedway career ends.Me for one would be more than happy to let him have a huge input on how Britain as a speedway nation moves forward.

That top four looks powerful and two mega promising young uns at reserve who i believe will be fine at home. Away could be a learning process for both young lads but for me it is just great that the supporters still have a great team to support.

King is a no brainer it would be a great signing he could really kick on loves the track.

Was Airey the KING of the big Sydney showground? retired to early to concentrate on business interests.

A really good option it makes sense but this joke of a sport is dictacted by numbers with no common sense and flexibility.
