I watched Anders many times. Always a great rider ! Meetings that spring to mind GB v Sweden Custom House 1970 13Pts from 5rides beaten only by I Mauger & B Briggs on the night and the only man to beat I Mauger ! British League Riders Championship 1970 at Belle Vue runner up after a race off with B Briggs and Eric Boocock 3rd ! As for my choice B Knutsson, a bit of West Ham Bias. Also World another World Champion !

Saw that and thought he did well last Friday but not that well but remembered you meant Lubos Snr Snr. Sorry an age thing !

Sitting at the keyboard the other night, whilst looking at the Premier League Pairs thread, I had a flash of insperation and thought of all the great international riders over the years, who would make the pair for each country ! Here’s my attempt (first 3 in order) 1st Sweden Ove fundin Tony Rickardsson Sub Bjorn Knutsson 2nd New Zealand Ivan Mauger Ronnie Moore Sub B Briggs 3rd Denmark Ole Olsen Hans Nielsen Sub Tommy Knudsen In no Particular order Great Britan Jack Parker Peter Craven Sub Peter Collins Australia Jack Young “Bluey” Wilkinson Sub Jason Crump Poland Tomasz Gollob Antonin Woryna Sub Andrzej Wyglenda Czech Republic Lukas Dryml Antonin Kasper snr Sub Lubos Tomicek Norway Sverre Harrfeldt Rune Holta Sub Reidar Eide Russia Igor Plechanov Boris Samorodov Sub ? Finland Kalevi Lahtinen Kai Niemi Sub Kaj Laukkanen USA Bruce Penhall Greg Hancock Sub Jack Milne Have you got any alternative Riders/Country

I can't remember my first meeting but i started going to West Ham in the 1965 season, when I was 9, but only for a few meetings I went to most of the home meetings in 1966 ! I can rember standing on the back straight and tucking into enormous great hot dogs between races. My most vivid memory of that time, was the night Dave Wills Died from what was a silly accident :x and think I can still remember him waving as he was put in the ambulance. What a tragedy :-( I used to watch from the back straight until the stand was knocked down and I still watch from there at Arena ! I wish there was a Stadium like Custom House now :!: I Saw it towards the end of it's life, but I would have loved to have seen it at its peak with 70000 + and no parking problems

:? Jack Parker,Tom Farndon,Peter Craven :!: no one since Peter Collins :!:

Quite right. It was my feeble attempt at a wind up I guess. :-( Sorry Missed out there DD Keep fishing

Thanks jblanch69 what a great site It has bought back many happy childhood memories! Most missed, the old stadium at Custom House, what great nights the staduim must have seen ! :-( some of those old pictures oozed class !

Talking of the most naturally gifted rider, what about S H :?:

Not another fishermans tale

Im not trying to make excusses just find answers, I think I too have been guilty of a few innocent wind ups which in hindsite where unwise, thats me but we do seem to be going over the same ground. By keep raking it up is'nt helping matters! That said thats the last i,ll say on the matter :!: Appart from let the mods do there job Now can we all get back to some serious posting :!:

Again Krisse, all the Mods do a great job and somtimes it must be a pain ! all I would say is dont let the bu**ers get you down. It would be such a shame. Most of the banter on here is good humoured, but somtimes some people overstep the mark. Perhaps we have just defined some boundries thats all. To all those posting including me, give the mods a break !

My post deleted as well ! (not a problem) Now we all gave JB /DD a suggestion too calm down now lets all follow our own advice perhaps ! Lioness dont go, take a minute, take a deep breath, you do a great job you will be missed :-( Shazzy just start another thread simple :? Look its a Forum not politics l Chill People :!: 8)

It could have been mine :?: ditto sorry but I blame sandman :clown

Try some Vodka Shazzybird and watch the speedway :!:

ohh! go on open up the thread, Shazzys going stirr crazy :? ;-)

oh well there's that theory out of the window :-( I did'nt think you wound him up steve :!:

I hope iv'e got this right :!: I do feel that there are some extenuating circumstances perhaps :!: D/D does tend to let his tounge rule his head wich he has regreted in the past hence his signature ! I think we also got D/D on a bad night and one or two of us wound him up and he fired the bullets all in all I think its best we let the situation calm down for a while Now can anyone remined me what the subject was as iv'e forgotten

Thats Moore like it Katie a much more subdued post for a change :? and I bet D/D will be tearing his hair out LOL . ;-)
