I don't know what others think but i do think alot of these foreigners at the time had poor aquipment.I can remember seeing certain riders aquipment and thinking they had just bought there bikes from a scrapyard.Jancarz,Plech,Stancl,Kasper i know a different level to those mentioned would if organised ( no permit issues)would of been forces in England.Two riders i always felt could of been decent were Anders Ericksson and Bjorj Klingberg it never quite happened for them.

I hope it is the whole season at the Abbey if the new stadium happens great.You have to say even at the very least the Communication has been very poor.

All i have heard is that work has started yet nothing really has happened??knowing when the stadium is going to be ready is uncertain is it not.??

Will be planning my days off around Somerset now fed up of the uncertainty.Wish they had just planned a season at the old stadium i will be amazed if the stadium is ready for the U21 meeting hope i am wrong though.

Speedway is a ten pound sport now, people like me keep paying because we love the sport.When i see families at the speedway when you add it all up getting in buying the kids there treats god it can really be an expensive night out.Needs to be looked at for families to get discounts how many families can afford two meeting's in a week? especially if you follow the football as well.

Except it move on don't be bitter.

Are you for real😜 if so it shows why you are not that clued on to the major leagues.Not your fault of course ,but really do you really expect us to believe you ??? smells like Bull...e to me.✌️️

Where could i get these DVDS from "idh"😅?

I saw the Swindon Sprockets v Coventry NL challenge meeting last year and along with the Skunny v Somerset meeting were the best two meeting's i saw all year.Was really surprised with the level in the NL it has improved no end.

How do you keep up with speedway in Poland/Sweden.?

Any sport for that matter and you can even get BBC and ITV now on MOBDRO and other services. Watching them are the norm now for people who work long hours.

I think he averaged 7.43 for Lynn in 1975 in his double up year people often forget he had a decent WF record and also won a Longtrack title all achieved in 8 years 75/83.

So you are saying the rich dodging taxes is more acceptable than somebody watching a three o'clock kick off on a Saturday really.😕

So the rich who dodge paying the right amount of tax are they thieves? but on a larger scale.

When you look at 15 year olds like Bickley going in the NL and yes he is a prospect and compare him to Lee what a difference.At 16/17Lee was a freak a one off i think his first big scalp was Ray Wilson.??Lee is certainly one of the best riders i have ever seen in my lifetime Ward is the only young rider that comes close to him for me.

A well over the top post god what a DRAMA QUEEN you are streams have been going on for years get over it.90 per cent of the workforce i work with watch sport all week on Mobdro and Cody hardly crime of the century is it are we ALL scum and lowlife.?

A great rider his life was cut short by his murdering second wife in 1992 tragic.

My thinking of things is whoever wins the league are champions.The other three join up have a interest and also the team who wins the league can get the double.A proper league winner going into a cup competition would that not be good i think it could ŵork.

The thing is were you around in those days?

And that is not good Barney,even now the NL is more about winning for me that league is only there for one reason to give the young uns a chance.Hopefully then to help to produce the likes of Bewley,Parkinson, Hume, Smith,Jenkins (ect)who can go on to progress.I watched the NL last year and i was amazed by the standard terrific not many wobblers about.

We all moan and whinge about the sport but for me it is worth the 17 pound entrance fee.Last year i went to Scunthorpe the once i saw a cracking meeting and came away thinking wow this Sport can be great.I know everywhere is not like Scunny but the sport can still be great and the product is there..My take is i don't mind what level it is as long as the racing is decent i am happy.I also don't care about winning or losing as long as i have enjoyed the evening and can go home knowing that i have been entertained.

Quite agree in the good old days😅how many lower end riders were homer riders quite a few.If you can win all your home meetings and try and pick up points away anything you get is a bonus.

What do you predict he will average what do you hope?.What i like about the PL is there are alot of 2 pointers or low averaged riders that have been given a chance to gain experience and improve.

My favourite Oxford days were when Kilby was a Rebel and later George Hunter in there NL days.Also in the Nielsen days his clashes with Gundersen/Knudsen were brilliant to watch Oxford then had that superb grandstand great viewing.Other riders i liked at Oxford were Sorensen,Dugard,Lausch great days.Also Steve can you remember that big Individual meeting was it the supporters club trophy? see that a few times a really good field was always assembled.

Yes not a bad rider, Jan Zabik, Piotr Pyszny are two other poles who come to mind Pyszny i thought could of been half decent.
