Sidney the robin

I am not a lover of Barry Hearn a dictator i know but he gets things right 99% of the time and has kept up with the times.That sort of leadership could work Berry would of been great but it was not to be ancient history .Five names i would put forward to work TOGETHER to revamp British speedway would be Eric Boocock - Neil Vatcher- Neil Machin- Lee Kilby- Peter Adams all of them have serious qualities and what they all have in common is that they all love speedway.

The only thing is Hodgy he puts himself forward as the Poole spokesman and that sometimes puts the 99% per cent of the good Poole fans in a bad light.He often posts just to get a reaction and as was shown on his comment on the Bewley/RR situation does not do his research.Gavan is like me we have BOTH been critical of Poole in the past but both of us dont hate Poole far from it i have enjoyed most of my visits there over the years. Also to Gavan's credit he did not react badly to that nasty personal attack on him by SS that was totally uncalled for.If Poole win the play/ offs i will give them the credit they deserve for me winning it with this side would be up there with there greatest ever achievements.

I do a bloody good rider nobody can take away the fact that Malc Simmons was a very very good rider over a number of years number 2 in the world not bad eh.!

It was in a different way !!!

I see Coventry race at Swindon a couple of years ago in a NL challenge and Danny Ayres was the star.He was superb he also got the crowd involved as well,playing up to them a true entertainer.It just shows you it does not matter who it is it could be a Tai Woffinden or a Danny Ayres speedway at all levels at its best can still be exciting.

Yes you are totally right god it makes you feel sick thinking about it.

What do you think? he will be rehoused somewhere else, and that is a frightening thought.

You are right watching two great meeting's in the last fortnight has showed me the product is still there.What i find strange is that most of the promoters dont listen and try to give the customer what they want.Where i live there is a local shop that was took over 2 years ago if you ask the owner now that you want a pacific product he will get it in for you that is forward thinking customer service.Speedway does not deliver the basics it is falling behind and now even diehard fans who get used to the habit of not going even they are hard to entice back regularly, they pick and choose there meeting's.

All i will say is there is no need for a good old jolly up in Spain somewhere in England should suffice.They need to get there heads together and try to come up with some answers thinking of us the supporter and the sport as a WHOLE.British speedway is really annoying at times they know what supporters moan about and don't like yet they do nothing about it.Two examples late starts at meetings 7.30 should mean 7.30 also meetings are not getting run slick anough dragging on and on often meaning a late finish.Fixture planning well what more can you say five weeks without a meeting yet getting to October and struggling to fulfil the fixture list.Personally i have little faith things will improve can't see it don't see anough big personalities with vision to pull things around a John Berry figure he would of been mighty handy now.

Never met the bloke city never had any interest to do so and his crimes are so disgusting.For me they should throw away the key harsh but anyone who is a parent or grandparent would think that.

He despised old folk with a vengeance don't know why he always thought most them had it easy and often got something for nothing.

Is this years AGM the most important meeting ever are we at the stage of a s... or bust scenario.The sport has been limping along from year to year for a long long time now can the promoters pull together and try to address the endless problems or is it a lost cause.?

Until we know what 2019 bring's no point even thinking about a team.

2008 Abbey Stadium Adams v Crump. Crump won heat 1 taking Adams from the back slipping through on the inside, then Adams had his revenge twice one race holding a charging Crump at bay there races were awesome.

We host our last home fixture of the 2018 campaign against the Belle Vue Aces a fixture that has no significance at all riding on it.I fear what the attendance will be but fingers crossed the crowd holds up better than we all expect.It will be very interesting to see who Belle Vue pick to replace Riss for the play/off semi maybe Josh Pickering ( a guess)???.Also it would be nice to see either Rowe or Brennan get another spin at reserve.

What i would say Bob is what a great advert for British speedway that was last night tense hard fought racing riders gave everything game on for the second leg.

Jackobsen for me showing his guts and bravery swung the meeting with his heat win.He never looked quick but rode some great lines and really dug in.A really good team effort even Worrall was unlucky there was some good racing but the track at times is puzzling the inside was working then there was grip outside and Doyle in heat 1 looked slow good meeting though enjoyed it.

Bring's back memories of Alan Cowland/ Wilko and mad Jack Millen (RIP )the sport needs drama and characters.

Come on Blue Holder rode his nuts off for seven points he really put his neck on the line at times just one of those nights for him on another night he would of scored 12.The same with Wilson Dean god 100 per cent commitment busted a gut at times that is all anyone can ask.A great performance by Poole but this tie is not over yet Somerset need Lawson to be on it again to have any chance in the second leg Doyley tonight two outstanding passes breathtaking.

A brave effort by the Robins as there team was seriously depleted but you can't fault the effort and commitment well done to Lynn.

Eric Boocock broke his arm there also i don't think Eric liked the track much but he usually scored well there.

Game over Adam who has been great this year is a real miss i felt we had a little squeak left tonight oh well it is not to be.

Is the meeting on radio Wiltshire tonight.?

Great meeting can remember Carter who looked quick never convinced on the night. don't know why Mort is Mort dun him. Morton was quick did most from the back a very good rider over a number of years and he was World class not doubt for me anyway.

I am sure they can sort something out everyone makes mistakes and it takes a bigger man to forgive and forget.Holder should be a massive part of the future for Poole he has top class quality.
