  1. Kennett now for me is in the top eight PL riders also he did improve last year just over 7 in the EL not bad also he had to wait until Swiderski was released.The big surprise for me was he was really flying up until the Scunthorpe semi final really surprised he was eliminated and if you look he gated quite well in the Semi final.
  2. Unreal that fact to be honest how unlucky was he "frigbo can also remember Hitchy riding for Rye House at the end of his career.
  3. The second bend you do remember that?? he run Doyle awfully wide but he has been doing that all year hasn't he how he was not excluded is beyond me after lifting.
  4. Bobbath Hitchy was one of my favourite ever riders a real racer had a real upright style.His divebombs on the inside at the Abbey were legendary he was no world beater but for me that was what speedway was all about a great team man.Remember him riding in the same team as his son Martin that was quite amazing as well.If i remember right he unluckily missed out on two championship medals Swindon 67/ Coventry 68 because of the points limit.
  5. Even before Lindgren lifted and messed Bomber up do people think that Lingren was mighty tough on Doyle before the crash.
  6. Bacon Stoneman Ayres and young Henry Atkins were all impressive in the Swindon v Coventry challenge match the other week.Be great to think they can progress to the PL Ayres being a late starter has done well there he to could improve again.
  7. World wide though "Foam Fricke has come on loads impressive in Poland agree with you on Bates i am a fan.
  8. Out of the three league's who are the Fifteen riders that that they feel have made strides in 2016.? Here goes mine are Thorssell,Fricke,Nilsson,Ellis,Bellego, Carr,Wilson Dean,Mountain,Hume,Parkinson Blackburn, Bewley (best rookie for years)Clegg, Jacobs,Smith,Wood.
  9. The old saying was over a Gp,season the best rider would always win Emil was injured Tai won it. Doyley is now injured Greg will win it,is that Statement true a big NO for me it can be just as cruel as the one off final. Crazy have a look back in all those defeats other riders were poor we never reached the play/offs because our team was not good anough Rohan should not be a scapegoat.
  10. The difference is Mr Rising has made a living out of speedway the sport he loves you are picking Strawberries for a good old jolly up.✌️🤓😎😛
  11. This post Red shows me that Ford is no genius this year his judgement has been poor underachieved bigtime.Most of us fans want to see a real winner FAIR Poole in the last few weeks have shown there desperation to win at all costs.
  12. I have heard nothing worthwile has been done with dark nights setting in late April is stretching it.Also Grachan should us the public be told what is going on?no feedback gossip why are we not being told what is going on.
  13. October 2nd and still no sign of work being carried out on the new stadium 28 weeks until the end of April.Surely the stadium will not be up and running by then i just hope the Abbey is not BULLDOZED before the new stadium is up something not right here.
  14. Joe you have more chance of walking on the moon than that ever happening good idea though making Speedway a 10 pound sport might help.
  15. He was one of the dirtiest riders that i ever saw if you were his partner you were riding against three riders.
  16. I see Danny ride the other week at the Abbey what an entertainer he is certainly an improver as well and has made good progress.But watching him was like going back to the old days the real showman days Jack Millen the panto villian, John cowbook Cook Shawn McConnell to name a few.That is what speedway is about being Entertained and Danny certainly puts on a show and i now know why he is loved by the Glasgow fans.
  17. I really think this meeting will be close can the Wolves get the points back on aggregate they can but it is a tough ask.The reserves are the key for me tonight young Clegg has to click heat 2 god is so hard to call a home win but the pesky pirates to qualify.
  18. I have known riders who have rode through the pain barrier sometimes having to pull out of meetings.But the issue here is ie) why is Lindback only on a seven point average.I also think they were looking to replace someone anyway Woffinden achieved his average by riding Lindback well that is a different matter.
  19. I dont think you believe that no more than i do,is WINNING everything to Poole is it that important.When you are a champion in whatever sport you are judged also on how you conduct yourself how you win things what is the Ford /Poole legacy looking like.?.
  20. To get a replacement surely Andersen's season had to be totally over it wasnt though was it.
  21. Morally you know it is wrong,Andersen riding again has changed everything to be honest also getting Lindback in on a 7 point average is laughable to be honest.Lindback might not score well again but surely these rules have to be looked at Ford is no genius just very clever at manipulating the rules.
