  1. Would you want to mess with Jack ? i only see him ride once for Reading his reputation was not great but he was really good with the young riders advice ( etc) RIP.
  2. Steve Gresham,Gary Middleton were two that spring to mind that had several clashes with different riders over the years.Steve was a very good rider and i met him once and what a really nice bloke he was nothing like his reputation.Middleton what a character he was i would say he should of pushed on and been world class he was good enough.The clashes i remember are Olsen v Ashby at Coventry Olsen fenced him) Kilby v Mauger at the Abbey Ivan,s fault he needed to be rushed out of the stadium.Gresham and Tony Briggs clash at Reading Gresh got the blame but Milan Spinka was at fault.
  3. This club is portraying everything i hate about speedway musical chairs how can any supporter relate to a set of riders when there are endless changes.In my lifetime Swindon have finished bottom three/four times that's life get on with you pick a 1/7 that should be it for the season unless there is a GUENUINE reason.The rulebook needs ripping up go back to the basics again this winning at all costs is putting another nail in the coffin of British speedway the biggest gripe i have is the entertainment level and it is certainly not worth 17 pound an evening ( the star of the show the tractor).
  4. Funny thing is Bryce i have a few pictures of Kenny /Bruce when they did get on one when Kenny rode Bruce in the motor cycle news Golden Helmet at the Shay.
  5. Who? do you just go on Wimborne Rd appearances? you must do he is knocking on the door now with Lambert and Jack Holder is another who is not far behind.Holder and Fricke are quite a way in front of Kurtz now and if Fricke can get consistently he will make the series the ability is there for all of us ( except you) to see.
  6. Iversen is slowly getting there and i believe he can still be a top eight rider he still wants it and can still mix it at the top level.
  7. Barry Thomas. Kelvin Mullarkey, Andrew Silver, Bruce Forrester,Brian Foote ,Les Ott, Colin Gooddy,Malcolm Ballard, Shawn McConnell Lee Complin.
  8. Do you think he has a future at Lynn? has he shown anough to get another prolonged run.
  9. Andersen i just dont see anything in him there is not that much difference in the league's now and also he knows none of the Championship tracks.To replace Bjerre is madness i will be amazed if Andersen averages 5.50.
  10. I dont think he will be back at Poole he should stay at Somerset depends i suppose on the format of the league. A big ask to better what Chris has achieved but will soon along with Fricke racing in the GP series.
  11. Better off away from Poole and he has a terrific future some of the things you mentioned man management then comes into the equation.He has a far better home track to race on now where you can race and he seems really happy in his racing.
  12. One difference Doris Knutsson for Farndon( who we both did not see) i also did not see Bjorn ride one of my biggest regrets.
  13. He does look like Leigh and he also reminds me of Mark Courtney who was also a very talented rider.
  14. Flipper i thought that Anders gave alot away at the gate in his PREM outing he rode pretty quickly though but the gating will come.Technically he is a very stylish rider and his time will come and it will be great when he is a fulltime robin and follow in the footsteps of Ashby,Broady ,Kilb,Smart (3), Keen ,Wellie.Rosco.
  15. He did get a meeting for the Robins the other week and it was a jump to far but he would of learned an awful lot.I think he should replace Jack Smith now just for the experience because Smith is on a downward spiral struggling badly.
  16. Just hope Danyon can get through a few meetings unscathed forget about heading for the dirt get some laps under his belt.The other night how did the young Swindon asset Rowe look? a lad who has a promising future.
  17. Is Danyon back riding on Wednesday? i hope so.
  18. I was doing an alltime top ten the other night and how difficult is that really difficult these ten in no order would be mine be great to hear your views FUNDIN - BRIGGS- MOORE - MAUGER- CRAVEN- NIELSEN-OLSEN- CRUMP- RICKARDSSON-FARNDON.
  19. A home win maybe by six points will Belle Vue replace Drosdz? the thing i like about Swindon is we are still hoping we can get Nick back to his best.If we do we will be a match for anyone what we need to do is damage limitation away and win handily at home and with Zach upping his game we have a strong home top six now.
  20. Only in speedway eh Steve why does that rule have to be there? the rule book in speedway is a JOKE.
  21. A routine home win for the Robins but there still looks a vulnerable look to the side.Adam,Zach,Tobi, David were all really solid.The track held up ok in the end and seeing that the meeting did not start until after 8 the meeting was pushed through pretty promptly.For Leicester Hans ( when he rolled and gated) was decent Scott was great value Dave Howe was very good always in the mix they all did well.Also though he didn't score many points i thought Connor Mountain for a NL rider was always on the pace and being at number six against the likes of Bellego,Ellis,Musielak was difficult i think the lad can make progress.
  22. He is a rider making great strides last year he had a terrible spleen injury so this year it has taken him time to get to the form that he wanted.He is a rider who should be in Swindon's plans for the next five years and i would hate for us to do all the groundwork with Zach then for someone else to get the just rewards.Zach,Rowe,Nielsen are all riders who hopefully have a future at Swindon but come the play/offs if we get there i would fancy Zach at home against most reserves i really enjoy watching Zach making progress everyweek.
  23. US ??? but I thought you supported Swindon at one time.?
  24. You would have to be a fool to drop Wajtknecht as he will be a very good rider in years to come.
  25. Horrible news and my best wishes go out to Mirac and his family a great great rider and a gent to.
