You are probably right I hoped we would be able to run the Olympique but on that sort of crowd it would be a waste of time anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a way to lose a League Title But what a way to win one!! I can still see Bobby and Jason going around turns one and two and realising both had a lead over Henka and PK as they went down the back straight.. Then the longest approximate minute of my life followed.. The track grader picking up the Wolves fallers bike (Wainwright?), gifted us the 5-0 which gave us a chance after being eight down with just a few races left.. 27 years ago....? Wow... What a night.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends whether your club officials are considered to have been "naughty"at any time recently & as such require some form of punishment.

Thats if he rides over here next year after his success this season in Poland. He may decide like Lambert and few others that he doesn't need the UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a fair point, now that he’s established himself in Poland Lidsey might give GB a miss.Riding here is low on the agenda for most of the top men.

Gone are the days that to make it to the top that you had to ride over here on the various size circuits, and with the big money to be earned in Poland on tracks of a similar size, riding against the very best to benchmark yourself, it could even be seen by some as a retrograde step riding against a lesser standard over here.. I would imagine keeping your sharpness and competitive edge riding against the very best would be the priority of riders like Lidsey, who are getting ever closer to the top level.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only add I am glad I watched my speedway in the 60’s and 70’s, when British speedway was a “who’s who” of the world’s best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
