Sidney the robin

I have been to Scunthorpe once under the Godfrey ownership and it was a terrific meeting. That along with the Torun GP 2018 are the best two meeting's i have seen live in the last five years and believe me i have seen some crap racing at Swindon.

It did make me laugh what Mr Godfrey said in the speedway star this week that he believes speedway was overrated in the 60s,70s,80s.He believes it is every bit as good nowadays if not better, i really thought that was a strange comment to make.lf he is correct why have the crowds dropped off so badly? but what i will say is Scunthorpe for racing is one of best tracks that i have ever seen racing and Mr Godfrey should be applauded for that.

Riss,Jorgensen are two riders i really like both can improve and it has puzzled me why Jorgensen is not a In/out Premier no1 he is good anough.You odviously see something in this side so if both of those did step it up then that could push Lynn to another level.

The last two meeting's in August can't remember him coming back you learn something everyday eh!!! The management must of thought something of him to bring him back his pedigree was pretty good and he proved in the early 80s he was decent and got in the Poland WTC team in 84.

Maybe Chapman believe's the Lynn side will be good anough.??

Out of six matches i thought 3 of them were challenges and 3 in the Gulf british league.?

Thought he had less meeting's Frigbo as you said including challenges six matches the other pole we had Jerzy Trzeszkowski was poor as well.

Leonard Raba had. six official meetings for the Budgies three of them at home. Reading (h) paid 2 from 4 rides ( two falls) Bristol. (h) 1 point from three rides beat Sjosten. Bristol (a) paid 2 from four rides. King's Lynn (a) 0 from three rides. Wolves (a) 0 from two rides. Leicester. (h) 0 from one ride pulled out of meeting. Six matches 17 rides paid for 5. points i do think given time he would of been ok but Swindon in 1978 were pretty weak.

Is that where Proctor's average restricts what you can do? do Kerr, Auty get lowered on there average because they were once conference riders.?

With the make up of your team i really thought it was imperative that you had strong reserves all year.Would Palm Toft,Auty, Kerr reversing places all year make you stronger than having Kasper.?

Do you believe Andersen is the weakest reserve in the league? or do you think those promising Sheffield performances may have brought him on.

How many races did Raba finish?? he certainly had ability as he was picked for the Polish wtc team in 1984.?

Does that mean Kerr will be in the top 5 ?? a big ask after his serious injuries even with Palm Toft at reserve compared to other teams it does not look strong.

It is great how we all have different opinions and Peterborough have really had a go and have assembled a good side.For me Poole out of the four i picked need Kurtz/ Holder to step up and both are exciting talents and i expect them to do that.Peterborough away is where i believe they will be vulnerable also i am not totally convinced with there reserves away, both are experienced but other clubs have younger and maybe more hungrier reserves we shall see.

Agree with everything hyderd, i would predict Wolves to be top though.

We could definitely do with a bit more of that to drum up interest.

If anything doing it this way gives the club less exposure and it also makes the club look like a micky mouse outfit.My friend asked me last week why doesen't Chapman say more and try and sell the sport not easy i know but speedway hardly gets a mention anywhere now.All i know is if the great John Berry had been a frontman of our sport the message of how good the sport can be would of been heard and loudly.

I don't harbour grudges and my suggestion of a truce is there sorry for the hassle Steve.

He does and i do not deny it he has put a lot of great stuff on here that is very enjoyable to read.Right let me give a suggestion i will not ridicule any of his posts and vice versa my suggestion and i will stick to it will he.??

Like yourself horrible little man.

You are bias Steve to loyal Iris does put some good stuff on and i have learned a lot but he has that touch of nastiness about him.Also any Thread Steve is the forum's thread not the individual who created it.

My answer to you is simple f.... you.!!!!!

Get a life Saddo move on,,you have had a agenda for ages and you love confrontation.

Nothing ever changes why do you act like this? don't comment move on to another thread.You are a gluten for punishment you regularly get beastied on the EU in/out thread and my advice to you is DONT come on the yesteryear threads because you always try to ruin them.

But those riders have to step up another notch this year a different scenario.If i knew that Puk was back fit and firing again i would of been more optimistic because there are riders that i like in the side.
