Chadster Posted Saturday at 05:19 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 05:19 PM Test matches in the summer would be very difficult to organise now bit I have wondered if we could organise somthing at the start of our season, before other counties get started. A 3 match series against, say Denmark would be a great way to highlight the start of our season. You might even try to link it into the Ben Fund meeting. I thought the Danes rather than the Aussies as it would be arare chance to see the top Danes in this country and might attract more fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is British Speedway has been stripped down to its absolute bare bones and with the national team being "subbed out" there's clearly no appetite to stage home meetings so we just have to read about GB's appearances on the continent via social media... what a terrible state of affairs for the world "team" champions!

IainB Posted Saturday at 10:44 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 10:44 PM What's the point in having a successful national team if you're not going to use that for the betterment of the sport in your own country? The way things stand at the moment with the non appearance of Team GB... in GB, are that they are just entries in the history books. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andout Posted Sunday at 12:30 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 12:30 AM (edited) Love it seeing the USA v GB but I have to correct the history statement about being the first time for GB to race there, its not the last time was 1971 and the US won the series of three 2-1 GB team was Mauger, Briggs, Airey, Harkins, McMillan, Hunter and Gifford.....not an Englishman among them!!!!!
