  1. Gundersen would not be there on just some decent performances surely? great rider but Hyde Rd he would not get in a top six would he.?
  2. Off by 1 o'clock "A ORLOV hope it is announced early,watching Wales at least draw with England forecast tomorrow looks horrendous.
  3. Agree the past is important in my eyes that is how you judge success at Swindon Broady,Crash,Dukey and others come regular brilliant stuff.
  4. Doyle had some really nasty injuries and i don't think when he was on the up really liked Poole's track.PUK another one really learned his trade took a few years to get there, failed originally in the GPS got there in the end.Cook has something when i first see him was not overly impressed but he has grown on me when at it he is mighty quick.
  5. Total nonsense John Louis /Jem Doncaster were late starters they did OK.Cook not quite at there level of course but age has nothing to do with it he is dedicated and when on it mighty quick remember Poole Wimbourne Rd last year.? Steve some of your comments are baffling lately, forget Poole no bias no agenda against another club give an impartial view.
  6. Craven i would imagine would of loved West Ham,Craven/Briggs both have to be in the best five riders to ever ride Hyde Rd.
  7. Great post the only gripe maybe was Tiddler Turner he was an exciting rider a good one to but Bettsy was great value wasn't he.?😀
  8. Thanks BL great stuff up until his death the original PC was in front was aged only 29 how many titles could he have won who knows!😀
  9. What a top five BL all legends, BL have you any idea roughly what Craven's Hyde Rd record was against Fundin ? my uncle told me he always held his own there.I always imagined Ove to be a white liner tough as old boots ( only see him ride twice) have pictures of Craven leading him there one in the Helmet i think.?
  10. Nothing against you Joe your opinion and you have a good case if anything i think there are about 6/8 Brits who all on a given day are on a par with each other.As an example myself i am a big Auty fan watched him at the Abbey the other week he had a nightmare looked slow.The other night he really was in the mix in the BF ( love him to have Vue as a home track) and really being on 6 points after three rides could of reached the semi.I want Newman, Auty,Bridger,Starke,Newman,Garrity, to improve i believe there should be a EL place for them hopefully they can all push on to be top 1/5 riders not easy though.
  11. Come on Steve he knew he was in hospital,his point was that like myself thought he would of struggled to get through the two semi's.Is there anything wrong that nothing against Newman at all just an opinion your biggest mistake was belittleing last nights line up.
  12. Joe you are a little bit off the mark,it might be just me but you dreadfully OVERATE Newman.Starke as an example forget last year he is a slow burner and has come on in leaps and bounds.Bates also showed last night in heat 1 and he was still injured that there is a good little rider in there.Myself i like Newman but you don't see the overall picture his PL form just his Poole form.In last nights level of competition he would be well down the field in my opinion.
  13. The track last night did have a bit of Hyde Rd in it that was my favourite ever track.I was very impressed with it , Swindon i have heard will be like a mini Somerset but i will believe it when i see it!!😀 Both in my opinion would not of qualified from the Glasgow/Scunny semi Finals also you spewed total rubbish questioning the quality of the field.Last night was great for me and in a way thank Tai for that none of us knew who was going to win last nights meeting.
  14. For me Tai and Lambert are certainties whatever,the rest Rosco has to pick what he thinks is best.
  15. The race with Garrity,Auty,Worrall for me showed total commitment god it was scary but this track really excites me the WTC should be good overall enjoyed the night this venue we should be all proud of.
  16. I would pick Bates in front of Ellis (Ie) anyway in my view Bates has impressed me Ellis i like but he is light years from being a Top 5 rider in theEL .Saying that he has made huge progress this year we shall see. Why again would you AGAIN consider Garrity puzzling.,!
  17. Answer is say nothing move on and say nothing ? IF you have a good point to make lets here it can't wait.!!
  18. Newman was not there how old is he? Never reached a British final ever? did you know that Steve? Is the line up that poor?
  19. Seems ages since we had a meeting, a real test for us with home and away meetings with Lakeside.If we could come out with home win and keep it close away i will be happy.Lakeside should be missing Kennett (a miss) Nilsson is the key for the visitors he was very impressive on his last visit to the Abbey.
  20. Really looking forward to it tonight can't wait,hope the weather holds up.This track seems to have different lines should suit the racers.Great to have a meeting where nobody can really predict what is going to happen.I might have to relent on my prediction on Garrity not reaching the semi he seems to be riding really well at the moment.
  21. What year "Norbold" did you think that Ove was unlucky in and it maybe slipped away from him?1972 was Briggos year Olsen also was unlucky that year.
