Sidney the robin

I don't thing Tungate is miles behind North, Tungate has like Masters upped there game quite a lot.

I believe Rob that Gollob's best was better than Pedersen full stop talent wise no comparison.Another example Pedersen three titles Ole three titles so on achievement roll of honour both level.Again Ole again for me a different class to Pedersen and Rob have you forgot Gollob has been on the podium a few times not a record to be sniffed at.

Tell you something Racers i followed Malc Holloway and he rode from 84 on and off until 89 and i went most weeks i loved Smallmead a great night out.When the track was prepared i see a lot of terrific racing there over the years having nice facilities is nice but as long as the racing is good the facilities is secondary to me.

Jensen what a enigma he was, very talented a lovely riding style but he could not quite put it altogether. Saying that he did not have a bad career just did not do as well as expected Alf Busk similar in my opinion.

Is the Roll of honour record gospel to you "Pinny? not for me as a example was Peter Collins not a better rider than Egon Muller and Jerzy Szczakiel the roll of honour says they all won a title each.!

But "arnieg" are you saying that Gollob was certainly.? third best behind Crump/Pedersen? Crump i see as a young lad before he rode was chuffed to bits he bettered his dad who believe me was top class.Pedersen i admire his grit ,longevity, class and he is still class but for me Gollob at his best would beat Pedersen.The roll of honour differs from that so credit where it is due Pedersen won three titles to Gollob's one end of i suppose but we all have our own opinions.

Steve what is your opinion of Bonus points? if someone scored 7 plus 3 from four for me that is as good as 10 points a team game why is bonus points not taken seriously.?

Great post i am the same Outsider really want young Bailey Zach and Bradley and others to do well fingers crossed for the lads making the step up from NL to the Premier.

Wozniak i like a lot he will improve i am sure i hope so anyway.

I think Josh should look ahead ok last years incident was bad a disgrace to be honest, but he needs a injury free year if he does that he will do well.

Not a great riding style but he was a very good team rider he had eyes in the back of his head.I always think the old Dudley Cradley track was a hard one to master just like Newcastle if you did it you generally ended up a very good rider.Was there anybody more patriotic than Bobby to put on the USA body cover?he give everything wore his heart on his sleeve i see quite a bit of his career at Reading really enjoyed it.

Nice that Schwartz was remembered because believe me he was a very good rider.Not the quickest but boy could he ride good lines, a great tactical rider so unlucky in a way because there was always that graveyard USA world championship round to get by.Did he once reach a commonwealth final at White City?i think Lee won the round.?

Has Josh been back on the bike yet? has he had any laps yet a big year for Josh before injury he was going quite well last year.I don't know what you Scunny fans think or expect from Josh this year, around a 8.80/9.00 average maybe? i think he will also have a decent EL campaign.

A great read alot of effort has gone into this fair play to you,Nielsen on top in 83 on stats 😞 alone not to worry eh!

I agree Witcher are you taking the p... more than likely? but we do agree sometimes can't wait for the 1983 ranking's don't forget Eaces1 that Lee murdered Nielsen in the 83 BLRC and the Pride of the East Trophy in 83 hope those results count.

Carter and Knudsen you could put them at the level of Nielsen/Gundersen at that time, they both were very unlucky with injuries.Nielsen/ Erik they bagged seven titles between them would they have done that? if injuries(and other circumstances)had not happened.No Penhall,Lee,Carter,Knudsen,Sigalos,Sanders, those six at there best would of been big players from 83 onwards Sanders for me is often forgotten up until his death was on a upward spiral and in superb form.

Does that show you ORLOV " that this is a cheap option? ( better than nothing i know)I was hoping this venue with Belle Vue would compete to get a few decent events.Really if i am honest i would rather stay at the Abbey,the track decent when right for me facilities mean nothing to me personally.This stadium is a cheap building will look nice at first but will regress,also the track size and shape will not be nearly the same as the Abbey.I don't want to moan i am glad we might still have a track to go to as other tracks have suffered but i am not overly overjoyed.

Are Poole's reserve pairing much better ?i think not Newman/Ellis are decent but none of them are 1/5 riders.Also that is with Kurtz i think won't move down ? i believe he will do well a learning curve season but he will do well in the top five.

You won't get a decent photo of him at Swindon in the early 70s mate I think he scored 0 ?

Hearn could do a great job for speedway but it will never happen,people also have to realise Hearn is a bit of a dictator.He has not been all good for Snooker a lot of decision's he has made have not all been totally popular what i would say is the man is great at making tough decision's and he has not stayed living in the the past like me😀😀

What price do you think is a fair price? do you think the diehard supporter is taken for granted Witcher.?

A really difficult decision Gemini,i would love to see the top boys back even if most can only do ten meeting's a season.But you are right i think we should cut our cloth accordingly try to get the product right entertaining value for money and use it to push some of our Brits through speedway i think is a 10/12 pound sport no more.

Are these three lads destined to be the next stars to come through the Aussie ranks? i have followed Lidsey's career he has impressed me i have also heard Gillmore is a real racer.I don't know a lot about Declan and what a pressure he has to follow in his brilliant dad's footsteps a big ask.I wondered what other people's opinions were are are they destined for the UK in the not to distant future.

I thought the Greyhounds was doing ok? it is a bags track and they get a fair bit from SIS I believe.?

"A ORLOV" have you any idea where the new pits will be going? anywhere near those legendary smelly bogs by any chance.?
