Sidney the robin

It is very hard to guess how many people attend? how many people actually pay the 12 quid i dont know.For me i enjoy the racing and hope we have a full time NL team next year but if i had a guess i dont think it will happen.I really hope i am wrong on that score could a NL team be priced in with a season ticket to make it a attractive price for the fan and also viable for the club.?

Yes an ok meeting Zach is getting better and better all the time he brushed Roynon aside pretty readilly.Walker was decent for Plymouth Roynon to thought Compton was harshly excluded from his first ride i just hope the crowds are good anough to carry on with a NL side next year.

I do like a nice faggot now and again i made my comment in jest just like someone might say to me you country Bumkin or you carrot cruncher.Anyway no offence meant and i opologize to you and Gater not a problem .🤗 Do you think Swindon might have something up there sleeve ? i think so.

I did not make the comment to mean that but of course if you want to be over sensitive it is your prerogative.

Is it life or death NO yes i am disappointed but fair play to Belle Vue a great move for Rohan he will do well.For you unless you want to talk sensibly 🤔stay off the Swindon thread.

Shut up faggot.!!!!

Erik for me could be in at least on the fringes but 15 is not alot eaces 1" Olsen/Nielsen are certainties Nicki P no way in the top 15.

Sorry to say Nicki.

Olsen, Nielsen, Gundersen , N. Pedersen, Knudsen. for me the first two named are in the top 15 of alltime.

I think WK - Briggs/Olsen were the two that the final should of revolved around with my bias Briggs head on he might of won it on 14 points that wrangled me for years he could of equaled Fundin's five titles but it was not to be.One thing that people forget is Briggo reached QUALIFIED??? 🤓 for 17 finals on the trott 1954/70 and reached 18 finals in 19 years with a record of 4 / 3 /3 great record.

Kings lynn i recon but it would be great to have Rohan back.

m Falcace" a couple of the Poles i saw ride Robert Slabon,Jan Zabik there aquipment looked horrendous like track spares.Also they only had a couple of shabby looking bikes looked like they had come out of a scrap yard also they had dirty looking leathers.I think alot of the Czech's, Poles,Russians had it tough and it was to there credit they were even competetive.

Trzeszkowski was recommended to Swindon by Jan Andersson he had reached the 1967 World Final Colin Pratt/Rick France also reached there one and only World Final that year to.

Really gutted there is no Boxall and the young Atkins,not to worry it should be a decent night and hopefully the crowds are good enough to be able to persist with NL racing next year.Has anyone any idea what four teams will be in the rearranged NL fours meeting at Swindon.?

1976 ? really i dont think anyone would of beaten Collins that night Simmons rode his socks off and PC picked him off.And when Collins /Mauger met it was irrelevent PC just needed to have no disasters to win the title.I would of fancied PC to beat Ivan if need be and even from the back 76 was his great day and he was unlucky in 77.

If Ivan had showed patience Steve do you think Ivan would of definitely picked Jerzy off.? in that meeting Jerzy had some horrendous rolling starts so was he lucky for me he was .Mauger looking back i felt he was lucky in 72 /77 (Collins moral winner) in 73 he was unlucky..So out of six WC wins i recon two of those 1972/77/ there was a case that Ivan might have been lucky GREAT rider and professional sports man though.Back to the Poles always felt Antoni Woryna was a class rider and later on in the early eighties Piotr Pyszny showed ability at Poole and Halifax.

Great stuff Norbold" really helped a lot , your figures did show that the spectacular Syd Edmonds was regressing a bit.

My memories are of Roman Jankowski scoring a maximum or paid ? at the Abbey and the Robins own Leonard Raba he just did not cut it.Raba was some gater but he fell off a fair bit Raba was very decent though and later on in his career 1984 maybe?? he represented Poland in a World team cup Final. Jancarz i did not see alot of but he was a class act did he win a Embassy Internationale a classic a big individual meeting Plech well was class exciting as well.

I have just read in an article that i had that in the disastrous 1935 year Wimbledon decided to split the strong Huxley/ Pymar partnership up.This was to try and change there fortunes but nothing really changed.

Honestly was Bewley denied his chance because of his average surely not ? these people who are running the sport are a joke what annoys me is they are never accountable for there failings.

Thanks "Robbie!!

I have just been doing some research on the 1935 Wimbledon Dons team god they finished bottom of the league.Looking at a photograph i have which included Norman Pritchard ( manager)- Gus Kuhn - Wal Phillips - Claude Rye - Wal Morton- T.Clarke (trainer)- Geoff Pymar- Vic Huxley- Syd Edmonds_. Jack Sharp they looked a pretty good team.They won only 8 league matches out of 24 to collect the wooden spoon.Can anyone add anything to this year and team anything would be appreciated.

A really decent night a great night for Cook he deserved it the track was so good different lines for everyone to attack.Three incidents that stuck out for me were when Cook was really brutal on S.Worrall.Yet when S. Worrall and Lawson had chances to do the same to Cook they didnt maybe that is difference between winning and losing.?

But did he mention he rode for the Belle Vue Colts.?

Collins often gets forgotten certainly the 1975 dustbowl at Wembley and in 77 he was very unlucky.Lee if you look he had chances in all of his six finals 1983 was the one that got away.One win two rostrum places and a fourth place from Lee was not bad when you look at Collins WF record now it looks like he underachieved .So false really because he was one hell of a rider in with Mauger,Olsen,Michanek as the best from 73 / 77.
