i was his spanner man for him on the i.o.w total nutter but lovable guy real personality would do any thing for a dare but lousy sense of direction went to totaly wrong track one night his step dad is andy day who make replicarace jackets all top guys

spot on

what about cordy milne only a war stopped him and was majestic same as always not all riders are looked at i for one wont be voting

have been putting loads of similar memories on the poole web site ,could get rid of the cr*p craven shield event and bring back major open meeting and southern northern and midland riders champs and international test series and maybe uk would be taken seriously as a world speedway power again

last time i saw geoff he was at the wimbledon relaunch and to put it mildly he was well lubricated i wrote to him to come to the sammy miller event he didnt reply but he is ok he would be in his late 60s early 70s

geoff is alive and well and lives near woking in surrey likes a drop of the falling down water

bob was at the sammy miller reunion on sunday enjoyed every minute of it

hi yvonny your dad made my day as did johnnie hole(think he was overwelmed by the responce)in answer to your questions photos if you log on to the poole pirates web site and go into the fans forum and enter the old riders site there are some lovely photos including a smashing saints team photo and yes there is a dvd of the day being made will let you know details when i get them best wishes andy

A VERY VERY BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ALL FOR MAKING THE BIG BASH ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT OVER 2,000- 3,000 OF YOU ATTENDED THANK YOU ONE AND ALL ANDY SCOREY

just to let everyone know that the legendary barry briggs is appearing at the big bash at sammy millers on the 20 th july he will be arriving at approx 12.00 pm to sign copies of his dvd and add to the already star studded guest list

danny rode for poole for at least threes seasons died of a brain tumor can remembering fencing gary gugliemi at poole he took no prisoners on the track

who is your uncle????

cant belive no one has mentioned southampton or exeter ,southampton was known as the wembley of the west an exceptional stadium and complex and exeter for sheer thrill value no where else comes near it in my eyes

watson defo dead regular poster # Name Removed # is always in contact with split maybe he can help you with splits true age

if there are any organised coaches coming to the "big bash" at sammy millers on 20th july could you please notify bill tayloor at sammy millers on 01425 620777 so we can arrange parking many thanks andy

hmmm just read it maybe its true but last i heard he was in a jail in the united states but anyone who rides abroad then stops on the way home to buy a trophy to make out like hes won it takes a lot of beliving especially where gaz the cas is concerned!!!!

replying to brian hamilton and bob bath the answer is yes on both counts there are 2 car parks on site plus two miles of roadside parking a 3 acre overflow car park next door and if all else fails approx 400 yrds from museum is bashley fc car park so plenty of parking space ,and bob bath we have at least 2 proffessional photographers on the day and a video company recording a dvd of the great day as well best wishes andy

maybe forum readers may be able to shed some light on split watermans real 1st name for many years it has always been asumed it was squire but recentley someone showed me a speedway annual from the 1940s and there was a photo of a rider in germany riding forces speedway and the caption read wembleys new up and coming rider WALTER WATERMAN pictured riding in his army days any thoughts anyone??????
