Birmingham v Somerset
Sidney the robin replied to GiveusaB's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Maybe because the great Erik recommended him, they feel that he is worth the time. -
Tai / Rosco - Team GB 2020
Sidney the robin replied to TheReturn's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Can he produce world class riders out of thin air? he is not a messiah.Yes his experience would be invaluable and thing's could be better but for me we are as a nation what we are.Neil Vatcher and his team are doing great thing's in there jobs and some of the kids are looking. really promising. But the problems that are deeply engrained in British speedway wont change overnight by just bringing Wofffinden on board there is a bigger picture. -
Birmingham Brummies 2019
Sidney the robin replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I believe in the bloke and as you said what a nice bloke he is hope he gets the breaks he deserves.All Danyon can do is keep working hard and thing's will come good.I think he has had 7 league and cup matches in the N.L and he has had 10 plus points in six of them i think as the season goes by he will get even stronger.I so admire Workington from last year what a job they did with Bickley and how he has reaped the benefits from that this season.Because Danyon had a reasonable average with Ipswich last year he has ended up being punished because of it . -
Birmingham Brummies 2019

Were you disappointed with Danyon Sings ?? i really think a lack of meetings cost him lack of race fitness.He should of won heat 2 at Somerset and Redcar so in a way he was so unlucky.Again he scored heavily last night and is getting there with Leicester i just hope he gets another chance.The worry for me is that riders like Danyon will be shafted some years because of there averages.Bickley/ Rowe/ are two prime examples that could be vulnerable next year, riders who have an average between 3.80/ 5.00. -

An away win looming for Somerset against this makeshift Brum side the Wallinger signing is baffling. -

Good point my point is he could of done alot more to help British speedway. -

Why is it appalling, it would not bother me, if he does all good and well and good luck to him but he is not doing us any favours.Also when was the last time he rode in a Benevolent fund meeting to showcase his talent.? -
RIP Paul.

Do you honestly believe Tai would put anytime and money into British speedway after he retires.Why would he, we had a chance with the late GREAT John Berry to revamp British speedway and nothing become of it so why do you think now would be any different as exciting as an idea that it might be. -

Riders calling the tune though is not the way to go we know there are mega problems in British speedway that need solving.Is this problem really that important?? in the scheme of thing's i think not.Also is everyone convinced that Woffinden really cares??? or does he care when it suits him his record in the past suggests there is a doubt in that regard. -
1977 62-15. heat 5 a 5-0 to Swindon Kroeze (ret) Godal (fell) .Heat 7 Cartwright beat Bouchard and heat 8 David Ashby was behind Kroeze/ Lohmann the rest all 5/1s.

Is there anyone better than Chris?? i dont know Lawson is the only other rider i can think of mainly because of his gating.Bewley ok he maybe should not of been in the squad as he had a awkward fall at Peterborough and has just comeback from serious injury but Alun was only thinking of Dan's welfare. -
Yes Grachan Halifax scored 15 points only Kroeze/ Lohmann and Ian Cartwright were the only riders to split a Robin.If i remember rightly Chris Pusey scored 0 after one year scoring a 15 point max at the Abbey.

I have never always agreed with Alun over the years but he has done alot more RIGHT over a long period than wrong.We have overchieved in recent years as a nation and with the riders available to him what more can he do.Alun's CV stands up for everyone to see and the criticism he has received is brutal and unfair in my view.We have seen it all before Middlo a man i respect greatly took loads of unwarranted stick in his reign so we should give Alun a break.He is passionate he does care and as far as i am concerned he can stay on at Swindon as long as he wants we wont get anyone better. -

No rider is bigger than the team and it wouldn't bother me if Woffinden never rode for England again. -
It has to change in 2020 Bruno at least 12 teams need to be in the Premiership.

Bobby Charlton was a great man and footballer but that did not make him a great manager though who's to say Woffinden would not be the same. -

Did he get a wild card or not???? did he qualify on merit or not?? we all get it that he does not like Rossiter but wouldn't it be better if that was kept in house. -

Woffinden should have no say his path to most has been easy how did Woffinden get a wild card does he forget?????? He got GIFTED a Wild card and then he proved how BRILLiANT he was loved it he got a chance in the series he should not forget it,!!!!! -
I remember Broady riding for Ackney and i saw him ride for Crayford/ Stoke a true legend for me.Can you remember the double header in 1973 Doris Swindon v Reading and v Sheffield i remember Keener breaking his collar bone.
