STEPHEN 333

Rode for the Crewe Kings in the early 1970's, was a very capable rider too.

When is the FIM Annual General get together that will confirm all the dates for next year, hoping to attend some GP's next year, need the dates to book Hotels/Flights.

Max Fricke won't leave Belle Vue as long as Mark Lemon is the team manager there, do not know what the problem is or has been with Coventry this year, can not say Chris Harris has let them down, but perhaps a few others have, Bates is too inexperienced a rider for the No 4 spot, reserve in the EL is just about his level at the moment, has shown that at Sheffield this year, Garrity is too keen, needs to take advice from someone with a bit more knowhow, Danny King has had a brilliant year, Coventry have had the heat leaders this year, but need to sort the rest of the team out.

Yes Belle Vue lost this title on Monday night with a very poor performance at Wolves, eighteen points was far too much to make up, doubt if they could have made that amount of point up against either Poole or Swindon if they had been riding in the final instead of the Wolves, but congratulations to the Wolves team,they deserved it over the two legs, bring on the Elite League Shield at the beginning of next year and this is coming from a Aces fan.

Squad system to be re-introduced, like as in Poland and Sweden, gives a chance to see the younger riders to race against the top riders, Return of the Young England internationals, Series to include return matches in other countries, like we back in the Seventies, gives the chance of the likes of Robert Lambert and Craig Cook and the Worrall twins to impress abroad in Poland and Sweden. Give Woffy the chance to take the younger riders abroad with him to see how the Poles and Swedes and Danes do their training with the under 21's.

Why is Freddie Lindgren so much faster than Chris Harris on the same engine, I'm sure the engine is still in its testing stage, so why not give Chris a similar engine to see if it improves his performance.
