Sidney the robin

Hate to say it but our top league will miss Poole , and i hope they do well and maybe get more stability and rejoin again in 2021.

Go on another thread or go and watch a Christmas movie.!!!

How many riders over the years have improved by going to Poole? quite a few I think .One that didn't though was Scott Autrey improved is wrong really he was a still class act but could not quite get back to his best but he was terrific generally at Wimborne Rd remember him winning the Hartwell trophy.

I actually think the league gained some strength last year Steve, every side apart from Peterborough ( who were unlucky team got scuppered) could all be competitive on there day.Doyley's average shows it is not easy set ups so important these days actually over a period i think the Pawlicki's and like might return to these shores.I am no fan of Pedersen but i am really looking forward to seeing him back and it will be great if he can get to a really consistent level and push Doyle he is capable even now.

Do you think this years league was that weak?? and will next season be even weaker in your opinion.

Airey. was very good at the big fast Sydney showground he won four Australian title's and in his last one in 1972 he beat Ole Olsen to win it.

Really how would you know ????? you went missing for about twenty years hence the laughable comment about Phil Crump being a journeyman.!!!! Swindon have won the league three times since 2010 so they have not done to badly have they?

Have you seen them???? do you not realise both are very decent at a very tricky home venue.Also they are part of Leicester's future they will struggle at times but in the longterm they will play a big part in Leicester's future.

Yet you have to think farther ahead than your nose planning ahead to the next season Is pivotal as well...To just say this side might have a chance don't worry about next year is irresponsible a balance is needed I hope Wolves put that side you suggested happy days old and limited.

You say that Acef yet your club has gone for youth the way that I believe is the right way, to go,.That Wolves side you named with another to. be named scares nobody.ok at home away forget it.

But your theory is to give the likes of Andersen,Harris,Wells,Proctor,( etc) all riders on the slide places mainly because of there low averages.Wolverhampton to me are doing the correct thing here three riders who can improve and are likely to feature in the Premiership for a long while ( Becker might not Europe?) why not try to build for the future.?

I didn't know that Chunky about Frank Charles, the point that Iris made is a great one wouldn't it be good to hear how the respected journalists of there day rated the Langton's,Parker's , ( etc of this world.I have a picture of Langton looking rather gloomy with Lionel Vann Praag i have often heard that there run off for the Championship could been rigged maybe that is a myth I don't know.

I don't particularly care what Wells does in the Championship, i hope he is on a faster moped than he was on this season he was dreadful.Why have a downer on Perks/Rowe, Stewart? , all three are still trying to make there way in the sport.good luck to all three of them i say.Hagonshocker did make me chuckle there with him reminding me of that ridiculous statement you made that Phil Crump was just a journeyman.God Crump (snr) carried alot of bang average Swindon sides for years he was a total LEGEND in my eyes.

Good point just thought why did Mr Langton never get a mention saying that Chadster all great riders.

Eric Langton Jack Parker Iris your thoughts ? who was better Langton is a rider who fascinates me along with Tommy Croombs.

Totally right Norbold yet a Belle Vue top five riders over time have consisted of Ivan, Peter Craven, Peter Collins, Jason Crump, Fundin.Why Fundin? baffling great rider yet Langton,Parker are not mentioned baffled Norbold.

Sprouts what can you tell me about him Iris? i know we bitch now and again but i do respect your knowledge big time on speedway Elder is someone I have limited knowledge on.

Does Langton very much go under the radar Norbold ?my uncle saw him only once he said he was a real racer top class.

You will get in the playoffs Ace i still think you will be minus a point or so with no Max but in Kurtz, Bewley, Lidsey(who will be world class) real improvement in the side.Kildemand i saw at Swindon great value mega entertainment has he regressed? don't know if back to normal great value and can score points away.

Tell you something Geoff , Hyde Rd was my favourite track ever i loved it there the track you have week in week out now is superb.It has to be in the top five or six racing tracks in the world( it would be in my top 4.)

That is why going top heavy is easier Acef you have scope for a change if need be.Replacing a lower rider is easier than replacing a heat leader.As for your team it looks exciting stronger don't know about that a few question marks in that team also you have no home track advantage.

Who said they were invincible? no Swindon fan on this forum has said that.This Belle Vue side looks exciting and if they can pick up points on the road they will be in business Lidsey is key a class act he can put 1.5 to 2 on his average at least.

Not daft at all they will win heats of course but are you telling me Doyle,Batchelor, Jensen,Ellis won't win more heats than Doyley,Jensen,Ellis,Musielak i think you are wrong in that estimation.Also your side makes us weaker in heats 13/15 and Musielak ,Jensen, Ellis have not yet proved that they are in /out number 2s you are presuming they can progress.The side Rossiter has named means that Razzer can challenge Batch and Adam can challenge Razzer at there own pace i would not want Razzer pressured into being a in/out number two in the averages even though he looks capable.Also you seem to have a downer on Ellis Perks? why last year he rode his socks off and he can improve again.

Just the man to ask Norbold, was it a big shock when Frank Charles beat the great Tom Farndon at Belle Vue in the Star championships in 1935.??Ps sorry about Tauser did he have a brother???

Win all your home matches and you have every chance.
