Thursday night speedway at swindon
Sidney the robin replied to Phil The Ace's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I did not know that Ray to be honest one of the problems we have in speedway are clubs not owning the stadiums.I don't if i am right on this and if Poole are the same as Swindon i think Swindon get none of the parking money / drinks food revenue and maybe even the programmes maybe ER or Grachan would know if that is correct.?? -

Just saying the Swindon promotion have as much control as Ford has at Poole that's all no need to be so so prickly.!!! -

Do the Borough of Poole own Wimborne Rd.? -
A great result for the Stars last night great to see young Lambert get the lot i think tonight it will be a lot closer than most of us think. It should be a home win Lewis Rose had a nasty off at the weekend and a few knocks last night so it will be interesting if they book a guest for him be nice if the Robins can build a bit of momentum after last night's great result.

Fair play to Rosco his record with riders over the years is very good well more than good. I like Adam never been so convinced of him as Rosco but liked him at Ipswich/Lakeside also has done very well for the Robins a few unlucky crashes along the way has hampered him a bit. He now can kick on also I want him to be a big player in the Championship he is well capable of being in the top 20 riders of that league and that is being negative he could even be higher than that.

Are you that naive the sport as a whole has to prosper to make progress it is not all about one club your club or mine Poole need clubs to race against your philosophy is as long as Poole do well everything is rosy no it is not your club needs teams to race against and year by year that gets more difficult for most clubs.

Totally wrong how many average foreigners have Poole employed over the years quite a few.You need to look LONGTERM Belle Vue have proved it can be done have faith in the Brits your side on the other hand only employed Brits if they fitted in with the averages Starke, Newman, Howarth,Ellis all treated shabbily.

Your memories of Americans in British League (1970-90)
Sidney the robin replied to TonyMac's topic in Years Gone By
Sigalos was a real class act and was good anough to be World Champ a great style really fast Cook improved no end from being a four pointer into a world class rider.Looking back to Siggy IF Siggy, Penhall, Gundersen,Lee,Nielsen,Sanders,Carter, had stayed around what a era that would of been. -
1968/ 75 i would say those eight seasons were his peak years Ivan was a absolute superstar his level and consistency was amazing .But we often forget how good a team man Ivan was was brilliant after Belle Vue with his Exeter and Hull teams and was very unlucky with Hull when they nearly won the league. 1972 ( with the greatest side ever Belle Vue ) and his Exeter career was my favourite period as a rider remember him in his classy white leathers he looked twenty years ahead of his time a real ICON of our sport.

All of us have great memories of Ivan which is wonderful my biggest memory of Ivan was him turning up in a lovely van with his bikes spotless the complete package.We all know it did not start like that in his career he had to go home regroup and comeback stronger and so he did i am honoured to have seen Ivan ride at his peak. And there won't be another like him certainly he was a one off he was confident and certainly opinionated but was so humble and down to earth great with the fans. The GPS now he would of loved them been in his element, and he would probably have won more than six titles.

How do you know how much Worrall will improve ? are you that thick not to realise he has come up through from being in the third tier to where he is today.Certainly he is in the top three British riders possibly the best rider in the Championship and going by this year before his injury he had improved again.In one post you had King ( ok he won a British title a great achievement) Lambert in front of Worrall at this precise time he is in front of those two riders.Worrall before his injury had upped his game and he was not riding like a 6.6 rider.
