  1. Pearson to me is a speedway fan no more than that a senior figure are you sure? does he want to create bad feeling between the GB camp and cause a massive problem when quite honestly Tai has done nothing wrong.
  2. What has it to do with Nigel Pearson ?nothing at all he should just concentrate on doing his job.
  3. Wouldn't it be better big anough of the promoters to change this rule rolling averages what a joke.It shows more strength to admit you are wrong and do something about it the fans would have respect for that.To plod on with this stupid rule until the end of the year is madness.
  4. Good post god it is long winded keeping up with these rolling averages thanks mdmc82.
  5. If Pearson asks Tai for a quote or a comment i would tell Pearson to shove it, to be honest he is sh.... stirring to the highest degree.
  6. My fault "gustix" sorry and all that, an honest question " gustix" has speedway changed since Yesteryear in your view if so for the better or not.?
  7. I thought speedway was still the same as in Yesteryear?
  8. Yes mate sure they had a glass thing outside with a car in it never got vandalised though the good ole days😀😀
  9. Remember riding cycle speedway at a place called Bamptons, on the Stratton Rd before the County Ground .It was great the surface was grey gravel just like the shay, we used to all get punctures galore great days though.
  10. Anybody who knows Speedway surely understands why Tai is giving the B.Final a miss.His quest is to give himself the best possible chance of winning a third world title that has to be his choice.Pearson is wrong if he thinks the MAJORITY of people have now took a dislike to Tai everyone i have spoke to totally agrees with his decision.Anyway good luck to Tai this year and i look forward to seeing him ride for GB in the WTC at the lush Belle Vue.
  11. Would have to differ with you,but you make some great points and i respect your point of view.My take on it is that Speedway has changed,you only have to go into the pits the bikes now are so different faster whether that has been for the better who knows.Also lets be honest London is a great place to have sport and the Tube system is surprisingly very good.Speedway has moved on now and mainly for the better, but would have to say speedway is not the same as it was in the 60s/70s.
  12. Do you enjoy it "sparkafag"? is it the same as the decades gone by? I go everyweek still at times i get the buzz after certain good races and think god this sport is good.Going back to Wembley i went to quite a few meetings there looking back they were not all classics but for me having supporters from all over the country made it for me.Were all us 70,000 plus easily pleased then? i think not Cardiff is good but not a patch on the old Wembley with its wooden benches.
  13. Remember seeing Wiggy in the 1982 British final when he was a NL rider some feat then Yeatsey did it later.Remember the 82 BF well went to support Malc Holloway that year he had a mare and remember Mike Lee being eliminated at that stage as well. Cant believe that the announcer would leave a lasting impression "Gemini" , Graham did and Mr York ? 😥always made the build up exciting did Graham he was excellent at his job.
  14. I must admit Steve was never a fan of Cowley but when it was prepared god i see some brilliant racing there.To see Hans/Wiggy there everyweek was a treat,i went everyweek for about a three year period and enjoyed every minute of it.Looking back Steve how far ahead of the times were Oxford when that lovely restaurant/bar was built makes you want to cry when you look how the stadium is now.If i had money i would love to get Oxford back on track great fans great banter and i still hope in my lifetime it happens. "Gemini" i know Graham Guthrie was announcer until his death in 1974, he really was a great announcer.Sure John Sutton took over after and i think Graham Hambly took over in 1980 in the Wally Mawdesely era i think that is correct.Chalky, ER, Grachan, Downsman will put me right if i am incorrect !! Graham Hambly is a legend in my eyes still at Plymouth I believe? a proper speedway man.
  15. Good rider left Exeter to further his career, had a cracking start with the Pirates RIP Kevin.
  16. Great announcer can remember when he did Exeter Scott A , Martin Hewlett ( bless him ) Nigel Booey( God bless) Lanning for me was very good Guthrie at Swindon i remember with fondness. Fine but you are a LOSER my friend big time.😀😀😀
  17. Addio get off your high horse take a deep breath and try and debate are you capable? No i think not you think you are superior to the rest of us .OK people hate me on this forum 100 per cent, i can live with that no problem but i know i get on well with quite a lot of people on this forum who i have met and RESPECT.You and Witcher hate to say it are the two i dislike the most, Orion,Blazeaway not far behind try not to think you are SUPERIOR then you could then get back on the right track and at least debate with the rest of us.
  18. Graham Guthrie/ Graham Hambly and John Sutton all top class in my book.
  19. Any input on the 60s, 70s and 80s ? or did you not ever witness it if so ask someone who you know and respect they might enlighten you.!!
  20. Not on the sherry but to be frank you are one of the reasons why people don't come on this forum as much.My mistake is that i bite to your rubbish, as i have said there are some great people on the forum love to read there posts my mistake is i should ignore you.My fault totally won't be responding to you again mainly because i don't learn anything from you anyway and you generally want to WIN every point you make.
  21. Nielsen was never a fan but he grew on me,in the end no exageration that he could of won 10 world titles certainly if it was in the GP era when at his peak.
