probably hiding from a certain interviewer, the last person you need is him in a crisis

yes it maybe time for a change of manager,but middlo,s got a thankless job.every year he has at least one of our best riders injured, this year loram,admitted we wouldn,t have won with him riding but it would have been one less passenger. it was obvious kennet and stead were going to be lightweight in poland.when we have to call up oliver allen we are struggling,nothing against him but hes not international class.whoevers manager will benefit when the likes of bridger,woffinden,roynon,danny king hopefully become world class,but thats in the future.poland had everything going for them,but do you think they would have won in england,i dont think so,but england wouldn,t either.look at sweden injured riders,ageing riders and magnus karlsson were not the only ones with problems.

some really good racing last night.i have to agree about bridger,an accident waiting to happen,he nearly ended up in the third bend fence even before the meeting started.out of the non elite riders woffinden impressed me,apart from his first bend bunching he was very smooth,no fence scraping or hitting ruts.he doesn,t rely on his gating and made some superb passes.gathercole ben wilson roynon barker and hedley had their moments too.jason doyle will have to up his game soon,hes getting passed far to often and his bike seems slow on the straights.you stayaway fans missed a good meeting,value for money,only a pound more than weymouth.

glasgow 87-3 phil kynman 76-1 john wilson

exeter gallery page 2 certain its not bob watts,he was a long haired guy,and the race jacket is early eighties to late for him ,never rode national league for exeter.got a feeling its alan leaver

gerhard uhlenbrock an east german rode for coventry in 1973.don;t know how he got here,but must be the only rider from the other side of the old berlin wall.

neil cameron was a disaster at poole couldn,t stay on his bike
