Always thought Kasper Woryna would be in there sights sometime, a family connection also he is a talented lad .Maybe in the future what average would he come on ? he has alot of talent.
-
Kennett cant remember him ever falling off ????Ashby cant remember him falling at the Abbey but Olsen brought him off once at Coventry and he also had a bad smash at Sheffield with Crumpy.Kilb was brought off once at the Abbey by Mauger Ivan had to be sneaked out of the Abbey in a back seat of a car.I do believe the bikes are to fast now when you see Doyle motoring nearly getting sucked into the second bend air fence you shut your eyes sometimes.

I used to love the second halves and for me there is still a place for them or maybe four junior races.Myself i would run the junior races in amongst the 15 heat meeting not after the meeting it could easily be done with a prompt 7.30 start I was talking to my mate Hagonshocker at Swindon last night we both said if speedway did go to one big league how that could affect our talented crop of youngsters coming through.?Could it hinder there development.? the likes of Brennan,Jenkins,Hume,Rowe,JPB,Bickley,Woodihull,Hampshire, ( ect) would the gap be to big from a developement league to a fully fledged one big league how could you implement these riders in without destroying there progress.

Doyle has to be in the Swindon Legends section certainly in the top 10 riders ever to wear a Robins racejacket.Briggs,Crump,Ashby,Adams,Doyle,Kilby,Broadbanks,Autrey, Zagar ,Petersen.(no order).If he wins the WC and i think he will he will jump the quew and will only be behind Briggo in the immortals.

Not a bad night's racing quite reasonable i have seen worse, also the crowd was very good Swindon as a team were very good tonight very comfortable.For Rye Nicholls showed his old skill, at times looked slow but he rode some brilliant lines and his track-craft is second to none.Maybe i am wrong but Nicholls seemed to have mechanical problems in a few races where he slowed? but Scott was decent tonite.Musielak for me is the one he gated poorly in his first two rides give it a real go from the back and he is exciting got it together in his last two rides.This bloke reminds me style wise a bit like Zagar he will prove to be a a great signing for the Robins.

Thanks were you impartial tonight Doctor??? were you just interested in the result. ? After all the banter Poole will be back a great team over the years cant deny that if they get the right changes they are still in the mix. -

The Bob Killer Kilby Book.

The nineties for me up until,Crump/Gollob arrived on the scene was not the best i never really took to Ricko so that made a difference.1998 until now has been ok i do HATE how the GP series calls the shots yet our league clubs are never compensated in a way our clubs are dictated to yet get nothing back .Its like me owning a corner shop having to shut down on certain days, yet get no compensation back the series is decent but it has totally screwed British speedway bigtime. -
Didn't go "tmc but was rooting for Autrey (Didn't qualify) and Betts he qualified criminally his one and only W-Final appearance he rode in the Final with a broken colar-bone.
