Sidney the robin

I am the complete opposite to you i like the continuity of this team why change for change sake.Bellego will find it hard to maintain that figure but we look quite solid and Bellego on it is very good at the Abbey i think at Home we could be hard to beat.

. Dag Lovaas was a classy rider who at Hackney for me had his best spell and challenged for the Golden Helmet he also made the 74 World Final .Edgar Stangeland was an exciting rider very good on his day see a fair bit of Edgar at. Swindon and the unlucky Rolf Gramstad.I can remember Rolf bringing the house down at the Abbey beating the legendary Ivan. Mauger in the meeting against Hull.Also a real shock was seeing Einar Kyllingstad. scoring a 15 point maximum at the Abbey also has to be a mention for the tough and classy Reidar Eide he should always be mentioned in amongst the Norwegian greats.

If that side is assembled then Poole will be knocking on the door in 2018 a good blend of youth and experience

A real surprise Sczezpeniak but he has improved since his last spell over here and he is a good .gater. Woryna is a hell of a signing i was impressed with him at times at Coventry and he is a different propsition now he could do the same as Smolinski did at Birmingham the other year.

Why should Buster get other chances? i am amazed he is still in the job he is in no progress zilch progress promises made no results.I can remember his interview on TV in the Swindon v King's Lynn meeting with Rossiter he was a joke tried to be a total bully he needs to get his act together again as a promoter i dont see that happening to be honest.

Dont like that to be honest the dog , hopefully the 1/7 should be strong anough but with all these rules in place it is a joke manupulation of the rules comes to mind.

See Cliff ride quite alot at Milton Keynes RIP god bless.

A very good signing really exciting to watch, i can see him loving Owlerton and he will entertain the fans.I think he is capable of averaging seven or eight at home a real shame is that i wanted Sheffield back in the top league but saying that now there is hardly a difference between the two league's anyway. Also there could be an arguement made that the Championship is harder to win than the Premiership.

But your club now has to build to try to get those days back and unless a Drabik or a Dudek appears your club has alot of hard work ahead.Your main aim has to be to get your track back the track at times has been poor and we all know when prepared it can produce good racing.Poole used to be everyone's title favourite at the start of the season not anymore for me they have to get a big signing if not it could be a tough season ahead.But we all know with Ford he could pull something out of the hat we shall see interesting times ahead.

That is good to hear i moan but i cannot see the day when i give up watching speedway i think you are probably the same.But you cannot keep taking the punters for granted and once you lose them it is very hard to entice them back both my sons are a prime example.Both still know what is going on in the sport follow it but wont go now they say it is to expensive and the night to drawn out.

Koponen for me was in the Finn Jensen mould ( now he was an inigma) both so frustrating both had real talent Koponen did quite well for the Budgies but he could of been better than that.

I remember that well Steve ,Kennett and Niemi scoring 40 points out of a total of 46 Steve Naylor 2, Sigvart Pedersen1, Richard Greer 1, Eric Dugard 1, Dave Kennett 1 were the other scorers.Gordon Kennett was a rider who i would of loved to see ride for the Robins at his peak but it was not to be.

All i would say is good luck to the Stars in 2018 my main hope is they can get a side that will compete and one that the crowd can get right behind,The Lynn fans are a unique crowd really they dont expect to be winners but they want to be entertained maybe because the track has got downhill in recent years that has affected the entertainment element.I have been to Lynn say about 15/20 times over the years the track was awesome the racing superb i just dont understand why the track has gone downhill in recent years.Is it the dark shail? are the bikes to quick for the track i dont know? if the promotion can get the track back some of the problems will be solved.Anyway good luck for the new season the league NEEDS a strong Lynn i just hope some of the loyal fans are willing to give Chapman one last chance.

If he does not ride for Poole as a full time rider in 2018 questions have to be asked.

Kai Niemi with Ila Teromaa (before injury the next best ).

Sampson was a rider who certainly was good anough to be a full-time BL rider like Jackson, Perks,T.Owen (ect) but they were happy being 2nd Division riders nothing wrong with that.Going back to White City Steve Weatherley before his tragedy was looking good promising Gachet was talented a very good div 2 rider never really made it in the then very tough BL.

I can remember Mike Sampson doing a great job for your team in 1977 Steve😀

Tom Brennan and Jack Thomas are two i would be looking at be nice if those lads could come in with no pressure and learn off of the experienced riders both have bright futures.

Spot on forgot Gavan, is he losing his touch? i would rather pick a seven and have faith in my own judgement through out the season unless you had to make a change's through injuries.

Great point.🎅

Ford made four moves that did not improve Poole's fortunes in 2017 Kerr,Zengota,Starke,Lahti needs to do better next year.

I was a Erik fan but i dont think he would of beat Hans over 11/12 rounds even in his peak years and if Penhall had of stayed active and motiavated he could of beat both the Danes i think.Going back to the pool of great riders "BOBBATH" mentioned how good was Charlie Monk in the mid 60s ?? i always think Charlie,Ron How,and Brian Crutcher did not get the credit they deserved.

I know it is very hard to judge my opinion only i dont think to many One off final winners could of won a series.Maybe Young,Moore? Fundin,Briggs,Mauger,Olsen,Michanek? Collins,Lee? Nielsen,Penhall.

Harrfeldt,Lovaas Eide for me.

Alot of those you named probably would not of made a series "BOBBATH" yes Airey is a fine example only made 1 appearance in a one off final Phil Crump is another who only made three World Final Appearances the series would of suited him better.
