stratton

I think he will be,certainly have been very impressed with him has learned alot at Edinburgh. I hope he can get rides in Poland or Sweden if he can't double up Poole would be a great move for him.

Why is it irrelevant? a string of indiscretions that had nothing to do with speedway not on the track anyway.His other mistakes neither of us know the true facts, also i have never heard Ward blame anyone else for his mistakes.So going back to this speedway issue he has made one mistake on the speedway side of things is that right or wrong.?

Why is it nonsense ?you want him severely punished at all costs that's your way of looking at it.Be interesting to see overall what most speedway fans think? punishment YES but how severe that's another thing.

What about yourself? have you made mistakes or are you the perfect human being? god anyone would think he was a mass murderer.

I hope you are right because of the mess they have made of this issue,come March he might have already served his sentence.? Six months wouldn't it be better to give him a massive fine,give it to charity and tell him any more foul ups it will be severe next time.All this hassle and time to give a six month ban surely not,well this is speedway i suppose anything is possible.

As good as the GP series is, i still believe it does not compare to the one off final meeting's never will in my book.Time has moved on i know,but the excitement of those nights were electric Cardiff does not compare.

Do you think giving away two years of your career to the likes of Tai/ Emil is a big ask? Punish him certainly that is to severe though.

Why would somebody be mad to take on somebody who would put a few hundred on the gate? i would love to watch him ride everyweek. Musielak going to Wolves then, it shows there intent by trying to get Berntzon as well i was really hoping Swindon would get the pole.

I have always maintained the Star is still great value, i still prefer the winter months editions though.I actually think producing a weekly edition is harder now as most of the news the fans already know.Phil i believe takes in what the supporters say and want so the Star will keep on going for another Fourty years plus i hope so anyway.I still would prefer the old style one picture on the front though,just a little gripe there i look forward to the Kelvin/Joe articles.

To give the likes of Tai,Emil, and others two years,all of them will be reaching there peak is a massive ask .Even with someone who has his amount of talent i have my doubts.

Is having a different opinion to yours not debating?you are entitled to yours of course.Most people i speak to know he should be punished and he will be but if the Poole fans most of them can forgive and move on why can't the rest of us.I don't want to see another top class rider go by the wayside,he should be punished but not to the extent where his top class career is over.

Thanks alot Steve.

Says somebody who has never made a mistake in his life,and how do you know he is a pi.....d .?Tell you what when he comes back and rides for Poole why don't you go to the pits and tell him and his mechanics to there faces.!

Terrible really,a disgrace how can these people in power not be challenged? Ffs how long does it take January 2015 is a joke and they should not be able to get away with it.

No you are not boring,the stats the history the records are what the present day riders want to aspire to.

Gordon Guasco ( RIP) most Poole supporters i have met through supporting Swindon have been decent chaps i would never tar them all with the same brush.Whatever is said Poole are the team that others have to reach, the benchmark for years Poole were nothing also rans teams that often got murdered away.

What an underrated rider he was, when Briggs was at his best Jim was one of a few who could give him a race at the abbey.I really enjoyed watching Jim a terrific rider old school but he was a gentlemen and he was still a force when he dropped down into the NL.These articles are a brilliant read, and its great that Jim still loves his speedway a true Legend for me.

Steve what records do you use and what do you think are the more accurate? also could you help me on a query about Mauger was his 11.74 average deducted somewhat because of a tactical ride or something?.Looking back i think Mauger had two years where he averaged 11.50 the other rider was Hans Nielsen.

Confidence in most sports is a massive thing,if you can get on a roll earn some money that often means more money will go back into there aquipment is that easy anough for you to fathom Steve ??

Michelsen was quick classy would love to see him at the abbey.

You don't have to be a genius to work out that gating is his Achilles heel,but this year he will get more meeting,s he will be sharper.And actually Leicester being a challenge to him might improve him technically most of the racy tracks at his best he is a force how many did he score at Sheffield last year? At the tighter tracks he has struggled but he could improve being at Leicester he might do that even at a worst scenario he will do well at reserve no doubts.

All of those you named with baby Pawlicki replacing Miedzinski and at a prepared Bydgoszcz.

If you ride three times a week which he will do most weeks ,last year he went sometimes weeks without a meeting he will be sharper confidence breeds money.

I can see your point very much yerropes, and i was a massive Autrey fan when he came here he was not the same still a class act and as a man.But for me i am not to worried who wins as long as i see a few decent races those two Holder/Ward do know how to entertain don't they.?

They are both racers and want to earn a squid,if the money is right they will perform great riders in the past have moved to other clubs and done there utmost haven't they.?
