Sidney the robin

Yet both Thompson's and Palin and include Gilkes could all end up better longterm riders than Kemp.

Don't see it to be honest certainly at that level, Kemp for example is employed by two of the most prudent promotion's we have.I know you say Glasgow as an example but they probably have one of the best riders on that sort of average in Bailey he looks a super prospect.

Have to say Briggs for me and the rest i can't split, so lucky to have seen them all.My other Robins favourites it has to be Holloway/ Hitch the bread and butter riders of our sport proper speedway men How good was Leigh as a team rider ER?? that is something that Briggo was not renowned for he even admitted it.

Really do you think Len Silver would pay silly money??? also Drew is on a bit of a recovery mission he was not great at NL level last year.I like Drew and hope he bounces back and he was very unlucky at Sheffield look on you tube and see him in the under 21s at Belle Vue.He showed his real worth there along with Stewart, Hansen, Jeppesen, Gilmore, not necessarily points wise but he was mixing it very well.

Hate the rule and i think he should come in on a 2.00 and i say that about any rider that is at that level and who are British.

Was the late great Peter Craven off a handicap in the race that led to his untimely death.?

How many meetings? was it 6 does it have to be six to get an average? and was the 3.19 including bonus points.

What a crazy rule is that calculated with his Ipswich figure of 2017.?

Is Hume on a 2.40 average.? 15 or 16 National league fixtures a year is not anough for Danyon to improve.

Baffled Lawlor and Jenkins( who i like ) get chances yet no chance for Danyon.At his best he was one of the fewer riders who looked as quick as Ellis Perks at times.

Danyon Hume????

It just shows you that Adam who started at the IOW is learning his craft and that every rider develope's at a different rate.How far can he go i think a minimum of a regular international rider his aim this season should be to be in a pool of six riders for team GB and be alongside Woffinden,Lambert, Cook, Bewley, Wright.

Grachan dont you agree that Adam's average is very false? how many tape infringements and fall's did he have in 2019.He was one of a few who had the pace to lay up with Doyley and that is why i like the top four in the 2020 line up.Batch, Razzer, Adam all battling and pushing each other for three places.

To have Briggs, Broadbanks, Ashby, Kilby, Crump, Autrey, Adams, Ward, Doyley, donning the Robins racejacket at one time or another has been a real pleasure.

Ashby/ Kilby were both allocated to Exeter against there wishes both were superb though for the Falcons.

Looks a nice side a tough ask for Clouting though, Kemp,Ledwith, Edwards, Gilkes will all need to do two leagues as the Championship is a tough ask.Those four could have a real busy season ahead young Rowe who we have at Swindon has a real tough learning season ahead keeping everything crossed for him it won't be easy i recon young Mulford will be a big improver to.

Great post Sue that is why thing's like this make Speedway such a great sport it is more than just winning and losing.Going out and having a nice day with your kids is something that stays with you forever.

Real fans really!!!! if all the forum members who go stopped paying through the turnstiles you would not have a sport in this Country to watch.

Great go back then, your latest post tells you everything you create nastiness.Look just comment on your club but don't make out you are the spokesman of the club because you are not far from it you drag the club down.

I thought you had thrown your toys out of the pram and disowned Poole speedway after going down to the champs.It has been so much better when you were not commenting on these Poole threads there are some great Poole fans who love there speedway.You come on try to inflame and annoy people deliberately and do a great job stick to selling your old tat and let proper speedway people discuss.

I can remember him Steve he had one meeting for the Robins in 1974 .Around that sort of time from 1969 /76??? the second halfers that come to mind were Clark Facey, Mac Woodford Bobo Valentine,Billy Wall, Alan Sorensen, Cliff Anderson,Melvin Soffe, Dave Patten, ( etc).Then it was the Young,Holloway, Evans,Pope, Henry era.Also i can remember in 1979 /80 in the Mawdesley years quite a few riders got rides in second half's trials if you like .Louis Carr,John Williams,Steve Regeling,John Barker, Robert Craven are riders that come to mind.

He might have but he does it in the right way.!!!!

Are you happy with the way your side is shaping Skidder.?

I was a huge Crump ( jnr fan i should be ashamed Leigh!!!) and Gollob so resented Nicki winning three titles.Now I appreciate just how much he achieved ok not always in the right way but were Fundin, Briggs,Ivan, Ole a bit naughty over the years do you sometimes need that little bit extra to be a winner.? Can't wait to see Nicki ride again spice our league up your point about Greg spot on a really nice guy.

I spoke to him once at Swindon and he autographed both my lads books and was a really nice bloke.He was rushing off to another meeting as well but the funny thing was i know they had there little skirmish but Greg Hancock was exactly the same a really nice guy time to speak and had real time for the supporters.
