Steve081196 Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Should have added Tomasz Piszcz for that added bit of excitement . Plus i think he is better than Gary Stead anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogster Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Agree totally, Tomasz Piszcz would have been better than Stead for the comets, better to watch, better rider & would have had more chance of winning!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedcarRacer Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I obviously havent seen him at Sheffield but I think if Doolan has his head on he could easily challenge the big names. Â But back to Havvy, he was awful last week and needs a big improvement but I think his big event mentality will see him bringing the title back to Teesside for the first time since Paul Bentley.

Matousek Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) I obviously havent seen him at Sheffield but I think if Doolan has his head on he could easily challenge the big names. But back to Havvy, he was awful last week and needs a big improvement but I think his big event mentality will see him bringing the title back to Teesside for the first time since Paul Bentley. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Havvy is used to it, not forgetting his magic moment in 1992!

spin king Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Disagree withthe Gary Stead no chance, Gary last year won his opening race, and that was after crashing a getting concussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Nights Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 From Owlerton form and also my opinion i dont think this will be far away for the final four in Compton , Havvy , Lemon , Doolan  Maybe not in that order but as i see it it,s Comptons to loose Next for me would be Havvy for me he has the craft to turn up and nick it  But its all ifs and buts i just hope we get a great meet and the best man on the day wins never mind who we think should or should not be there at the end of the day its down to your form over the year but the winner takes all on the day just like a GP roll on sun 26th 6pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerblues Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Just out of interest here, what exactly was Havvy's results that everyone sees as awful? Â And sorry but I think on form and providing he is 100% fit and his engines are up to scratch on the day, Garry Stead could well surprise a few people.

bazaar3 Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I think the final will be Compton, Zetterstrom, Havelock and Parker with experience coming on top ahead of the young guns in this meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jamie Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Stll cant see how Gary Stead is in this as he is 4th in Workingtons averages. actually, he's 2nd but don't let the facts get in the way of your fantasy world adventures  also, he was top at the cut off date, hence how he qualified.  ...hardly rocket science this speedway lark, is it?
