  1. I think Kings Lynn are going to be dragged into it , Swindon have had a great week leap frogging Belle Vue and now with a match in hand are just three points behind Kings Lyn , Belle Vue have the advantage of being at home for lots of the remaining , it would not surprise me if the Aces and Robins were to both make the play offs , I hope the weather does not spoil there chances ,
  2. Can someone describe to me exactly where the new track and facilities will be , I made my first visit for 2015 on Thursday and arrived in car park to see building work at the back of main car park spread round the back of existing grandstand to back of pits , I cannot visualise where one will be built whist keeping the old one running till its built
  3. but it is , Poole were better than Swindon and still are at the moment when Darcy rode for them , they know what they are doing cause they are class riders , Swindon in most recent years have not had too many apart from 2012 when it clicked , we need to go back to the days of the class of Lee Richardson , the best British rider in recent times , and Adams , if we can't keep Ward then maybe Holder or Majic would be in the market and I'm positive we would be in the mix , Poole are the most attractive team in the league and have been for many seasons that's why riders like to ride for them and as fans of opposition can't stand them although we admire them secretly , Ward has done it all his Elite league career , your right , but we ain't seen it too often at Swindon in recent times
  4. That's why we got a number 1 , sets the standard and the others follow , OK we needed 8-1 to pull it back but they kept it on and found there set ups , Darcy Ward I hope is enjoying his new role and one he wants to keep That's why we got a number 1 , sets the standard and the others follow , OK we needed 8-1 to pull it back but they kept it on and found there set ups , Darcy Ward I hope is enjoying his new role and one he wants to keep
  5. Come on Swindon , Darcy is cooking up a right storm in the Swindon team , a bit of self belief appears to be coming over the Robins , make him an offer he can't refuse before some other does so
  6. I still have my programmes from the days of Martin Ashby , Bob Kilby , Geoff Bouchard , Jan Anderson , Billy Mcniel , Norman Hunter , much better then with 18 to 20 teams , I hated Coventry and Poole then , ha ha yep your right , God knows what happened there , yep your right , God knows what happened there , Swindon to claim a point , Lawson needs to up his game otherwise it will be the Kennett ,Andreas Jonsson show , I think Ward,Zengota will score plenty and Blackbird and Wilkinson can hopefully secure enough between them to claim a point at least
  7. 40 years , crikey , u r as old as me then , I know this ain't the thread but I went mid seventies till early eighties , then couldn't get there , till I had my own family , last night was my first time this year , I felt with a number one like Ward we are never in danger of a average performance , Zengota was so fast , Bachelor felt so slow at times , I must admit I enjoyed Edouard and the young reserve efforts , very entertaining 40 years , crikey , u r as old as me then , I know this ain't the thread but I went mid seventies till early eighties , then couldn't get there , till I had my own family , last night was my first time this year , I felt with a number one like Ward we are never in danger of a average performance , Zengota was so fast , Bachelor felt so slow at times , I must admit I enjoyed Edouard and the young reserve efforts , very entertaining
  8. I'm not going to argue the point , Nicholls very rarely won a heat one and we always played catch up , I respect your opinion but mine was he wasn't a proper number one , we has Adams , Poole had Crump , Eastbourne Pedersen , nowadays Poole hold all the cards and we Swindon who are my team have one , let's somehow try and convince him , surely they can't have three of the best in there team otherwise what's the point
  9. Wolverhampton have been spoit in recent years with Tai and Freddie , we have had some miserable seasons with Scott Nicholls , we went nowhere , even Troy was our no 1 , just not consistent enough , we needed something as it felt like another season drifting away , I feel sorry for the Wolves fans it's a 2015 to forget , riders like Darcy Ward was there to be had and luckily we got him ,
  10. As I said I felt very happy having a rider like Darcy Ward as our Number 1 , I'm sure Poole and Middleditch will be hoping and confident of his return we need to convince him how great he can be as a Swindon rider , he will be World Champion and we need a classy No 1 , can you remember the rubbish we had to endure when a Mr Nicholls was supposed to be a no 1 ,
  11. I feel as I've said on another topic we being Swindon have a leader now , a true world class rider and is what I believe is a number one rider , a type of rider we have not had since the days of the magnificent Leigh Adams , another Australian class act who inspired his team mates many times , Swindon management and supporters need to convince this young man there is life outside of Poole and that he can be the main man , I thought he was superb when we got to the nitty gritty last night , shielding riders of the calibre of Bachelor , he can inspire us again tonight , he may only get us a point but it will be a massive one
  12. I visited the Abbey for the first time this year , it was reassuring for the first time in several years I felt we had a true No 1 , someone u could totally rely on when it got close , I was a regular when the great Leigh Adams was our number one and he rarely got beat , he managed 13,14,15 points a meeting , since his days we have had only one season with Hans were I felt our number 1 would be a handful for any opposition . We've had Scott Nichols who was awful as a Swindon number 1 , we know have Darcy Ward , not a particular. favourite until know , I fully appreciate his skills , he is a true No1 , will score u bags of points , we at Swindon as fans and the Swindon management have to demonstrate to Darcy that he can be a legend for us and not have to share this as he does at Poole , fair play to Poole , I don't like them from the rivalry as far back as Martin Ashby , Malcolm Simmons era but they know how to take care of there assets , we need to convince Darcy he can be top dog with us , try as he did last night ,Troy Bachelor just does not have the speed as Darcy was coaxing him home , Lakeside fair play made it a good battle and I can see Edouard improve with his confidence , come on Swindon let's try and convince him we are as professional as Poole as one day he will be World Champion , the boy has class
  13. Would somebody be able to help, i am looking for any photographs, magazine cuttings , anything that shows the speedway/grasstrack career of Roger Parker. i am hoping someone in our speedway community can help. I am a friend of Rogers family unfortunately they do not have a lot of memories of his track career. All i can tell you that i know is that Roger was born in Gloucester around 1948. His grasstrack career spread from 1967 thro to 1975 and his speedway career from 1969-1975. Roger rode for Wolverhampton and Stoke in this time. In 1975 Roger Parker lost his life in a grasstrack event. I know that at Swindon there was a Roger Parker memorial cup , i think Alun Rossiter still has the trophy. Any contact information for him and Chris Van Stratan would be appreciated as i think they knew him also. i would be grateful for any help and his family would be very appreciative . Thankyou
