If a meeting is going badly how can a novioce give riders any advice or pep talk. It isn't a silly comment but a sensible opinion. Unfortunately there are some on here who have a problem accepting somebody else's opinions. Afteral public forums are all about opinions and discussions on same. Back to the question in hand Ian Thomas often quoted that during his tenure as England Mananger he was paired with Eric Boocock which made the perfect choice. Ian covered the rules and/or arrangements whilst Eric the technical issues with machinery etc...but of course that was during the days when England had a national team competing in the various disciplines that international speedway offered back then...team (including test matches) and pairs events as well as individual. Does Team GB (or whatever they're referred to as now) really need a team manager nowadays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is child play. Just a strong worded opinion but decided it was not worth the argument. We disagree. I'll live with that and leave it there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
