That’s great but the whole point of the thread is to name the strongest team, so who comes in instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who would be next in line if not Danny? Bomber? Lawson? Its ok saying King shouldnt be there but at least suggest an alternative 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Welsh, Scottish or Northern Irish riders ride in the squad and haven’t for as long as I can remember. im Welsh but still can’t see why they keep the TEAM GB tag. Probably can't ride as England in case the public mix us up with Georgia who may well, but are highly unlikely too, have a larger talent pool to pick from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who of that generation can argue that those teams were great ? Just after those days when Ivan Mauger and Barry Briggs were "British" too?

They were, because that is how they were affiliated into the world of speedway back then. New Zealanders and Australians, as much as it seems strange now had no other way of getting into the World Championships etc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that some sort of Test Match (Western Australia v Great Britain) does go ahead next Saturday ! TAI WOFFINDEN TO RACE AT PERTH MOTORPLEX. Two times British Champion, three times World Champion, twice winner of The Rob Woffinden Classic and current Western ...Australian Speedway Solo Champion Tai Woffinden is in town and booked to race at the fabulous Perth Motorplex on Saturday 7th December. Marshall McDiarmid, President of the Speedway Motorcycle Club of WA and Perth Motorplex Manager Gavin Migro teamed together to ensure they secured this huge event for WA speedway fans. Tai Woffinden will also race the following week at the Pinjar Park Motorcycle Speedway in Neerubup in Perths northern suburbs the following Saturday night for the running of the Rob Woffinden Classic. He has previously won the title twice and is the defending RWC Champion. Joining Tai Woffinden at Perth Motorplex will be three other British riders who together form a British Team who will contest a series of events against a strong West Australian side. Team GB include, Jack Smith, son of former British Champ, Andy Smith. Leon Flint, the 16 year old Berwick Bandits flyer Drew Kemp 2019 British under 19 CHAMPION. Headlining the Team WA will be former International rider, Frank Smart, the in form Dan Winchester and Matt Marson. Tai is down under in the Southern hemisphere for some R & R to recover from a bruising European season and his World Grand Prix commitments. He will head back to the UK in the new year, however while in Perth he gives of his time to perform in a couple of shows for his WA fans, much to our delight. Tai set the Pinjar Park track on fire last January winning the RWC and the WA State Championship and was responsible for some of the largest crowds the new track has seen in its relatively short existence. This is a great opportunity to see Tai Woffinden and his fellow British team mates perform, an opportunity we don't get to see often in Perth, and I urge you not to miss either of these two huge speedway Meetings.

Bavarian.....I assume this was a quote by someone else? Anyone who thinks these two test matches will be "friendly" affairs, knows nothing about the history of speedway between Australia and GB (or any sport for that matter). I expect hard fought meetings with a lot of pride at stake. No doubt they'll all have a tinny or three in the bar afterwards, but on track I don't think they'll be any quarter given. If our youngsters aren't briefed on the subject in advance, they'll know better in the second meeting on Saturday. And for me, that's what this is all about. Blooding some up-and-coming talent and gaining some real experience when the only thing at stake is national pride. National pride? What's that? I think we might have just begun to forget that concept in the British speedway world. I hope for a safe two days (for all riders on display) but Come on GB. Let's surprise a few people.

I can easily believe Fraser Bowes, but surely Jason hasn't ridden for 7 years. And didn't he retire due to issues with his back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
