God Addio i am not six foot under yet a flask never,🤓speedway is a special sport and as you say i still enjoy it maybe not as much as the good old days but then you see a great race and the enthusiasm comes flooding back.

These points are so right do you think Lee and Carter could of won a title? the old saying is though you can only beat what is put in front of you on a given day and hope the luck is with you.Emil if he is determined he could still do it at the week end he showed he still has the class so fast when he hit the front..How many people thought Crump/ Gollob maybe would not win a title but they did they stuck at it but this is where Tai has a massive advantage the first title to win for me is the hardest.

Speedway has been a huge part of my life,my childhood years with my regular speedway jaunts were great fun.I still love the sport and last year when i had the pleasure of seeing Darcy ride for us it was like going back to the Leigh years watching a class act everyweek.I have been lucky in that respect with the Robins having riders such as Briggo,Broady,Crash,Kilb,Crumpie,Autrey,and of course Leigh with Doyley now tearing it up.My wish is for the sport to prosper and move forward in my lifetime,the potential is there will it happen i have my doubts.SCB as you are the stats man and know the rulebook inside out what rules would you change to better the product.?My two main wishes nothing major i would like to have a Brit in the top 5 of every side (ie) Garrity,Auty,Lawson,Bridger,Newman,Wright,Kerr,Starke.And the second one is only one draft rider at reserve with the top 5 changing Monthly.Speedway has been good for me spent quality time with my Dad/uncle there then later on took both of my lads there regularly as well i would not change a thing.

Has Ford got Gilmore or Lidsey on his radar Gilmore is supposed to be the next star.

Bobo Valentine Martin Hitch and Billy Wall bring back memories, can remember Jimmy Gallagher having a spell in the team.Before that Clark Facey John Bishop David Grimley and before my time Peter Jackson(in the championship squad.)
-
If he gets in the Series with organisation a good team around him he has every chance.For me as good as Tai is he is beatable has Emil got the will and commitment that is another matter?For me Emil is a top three rider now just hope Emil and Dudek get in the series the series will then be alot stronger for it.

Chris Prime,Vic Harding,Richardson,Nix,Wasley,Spiers(not sure) Muchene.Garratt.Sanford, Hewlett(after the race) RIP none of them ever forgotten. -
Worrall watched him at Swindon for a whole season he did well but he never really impressed me.This year he really has come on nicely nearly a nine point man in the PL i watched him at the Abbey on thursday he really was quick he looked far better than Cook along with Thorssell and Nilsson three riders that have all improved this year.https://mobile.twitter.com/Nigel_Faref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

Mates with Middlo maybe that is something to do with it a small part anyway.
-
You would know before any of us won't you? think Adam will get the nod or is it down to practice? This track is awesome must be great riding there for the first time.
-
Again the man who is in his own little BLUE WORLD, of course you can make a case for both riders so nothing to do with having speedway knowledge all down to opinions hopefully IMPARTIAL ones!!!🤓

Swindon - Belle Vue 21.7.16

Nicholls now is a 6.80 rider to 7.00 point rider where do these 10/13 points come from? -
I wont get into a slanging match with you but someone on here who knows you quite well told me about five years ago you are pretty limited on speedway knowledge.I wont say who it was but i respect him big time i follow international speedway watch all the leagues and to be honest i would back myself against you all day long.Now i will leave it to others to expose you lots on here who follow International speedway know there stuff in a way you make out Emil is some sort of mug laughable really.

Dudek is a class act we all know that and last Saturday was Emil going to kill himself trying to hard for him getting laps and race fit is the main thing.Out of all the people on this forum who go regular, i know a few at Swindon and other tracks you are one of the people who for me is lacking in speedway knowledge harsh but true.

Swindon - Belle Vue 21.7.16
Sidney the robin replied to A ORLOV's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Well done to Belle Vue a deserved win, this team looks dangerous Jacobs was very good Stevie Worrall after heat 1 looked mighty quick.He now with a good practice must have a squeak of getting a place in the WTC,Cook not convincing tonight even when the track got tricky there was some good racing better than in most weeks.As for the Budgies all is not lost i still think they might get in the four but does it matter this team has no chance of winning the EL. -
Honestly i have to say it Steve if you honestly believe that then you are totally deluded do you ever watch Emil? With Pedersen Hancock still going strong god Emil is still only 26!!.For me Pawlicki, Dudek,Magic,Bartostz are the only young ones who are capable and have the talent to be WC.With no Emil about Tai could win five titles, Emil has just comeback from injury and race fitness will take time.To right him off at the age of 26 is madness this statement from you will comeback to haunt you.

Forget last night Belle Vue is a different kettle of fish.For me my team would be Tai,Craig,Robert,Danny (a deserved British Champion terrific at Cardiff.Res Josh B.

I think this could be an away win the Aces have a solid team if a A1 Zagar turns up we could be in big trouble and believe it or not we will really miss Stefan at reserve. -
Mastrup was a very good rider from the back got to be a 6.5 rider in a very tough BL.Funny thing is Steen had a brother called Frank who was a better rider but he never rode league racing in England.
-
I can remember that he was a very good gater.
-
Jerzy Trzeszkowski a two time world finalist in 67/68 was getting on a bit when he joined the Budgies.Trzeszkowski/Raba were both released and Gramstad/Mastrup took there places really liked Steen and Rolf great value.

Remember Sumner well yellow and red leathers and as you said had a spoiler in the back wheel.He came with a good reputation apparently had done practice at Wimbledon a few times and was impressive.But he just could not get on the pace and hardly scored a point.Dekeeter Autrey Woods (Who would of)all did well and other Americans followed and we're a real force.When i think of McKnight i put him down in the three riders who never worked out for the Robins.The other two were Leonard Raba and Veijo Tuorniemi
