PHILIPRISING Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I couldn't agree more. I've already reported the post. But this is Steve shovlar we are talking about. He gets away with everything and no doubt this post will remain. I'VE no idea how the administration of this forum works but if I were the guy at the tiller I would eradicate all copies of the SS post asap... even then might be shutting the stable door ...

Pirate Nick Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Just to burst your bubble Steve - Ed started the season on Prodrive and subsequently changed to King. I don't know when but I'm sure you can find out! I hope you had enough tissues at hand when you read about this Steve - the pleasure it must of given you must have been overwhelming!

Nobody at Coventry has condoned Eddie's actions, let that be clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILIPRISING Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Eddie has been caught with an illegal silencer ,but there are far worse crimes going on in speedway, some naughty polish person has made fake copies of the briggo dirt deflector , they are exactly the same as the genuine article in almsot every respect .except the paddle on the arm is a slightly different shade of red and the castings have a slightly rougher outside . oh and the big one of course and the one that makes them totally unacceptable , the price does not include £100 for the barrry briggs pension fund , THE last time you had a cheap shot at Briggo I asked what your contribution to speedway was or is ... any chence off an answer this time? By PM will suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
home straight Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Surely Steve's post is tongue in cheek? Why are people jumping out of their prams about it? Eddie has been a silly boy, no doubt, but I can't help but feel that all the people calling for him to dragged through the streets naked and flogged are going over the top.

bennyr Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) I feel sorry for Poole supporters that u have shovlar representing u on this forum because of his narrow minded views Poole speedway as a club comes across badly. Don't get me wrong most Poole supporters I have spoke to are spot on people but if any off u Poole supporters know steve personally maybe u should tell him he comes across as a 24 carat PRATT on this forum Edited August 7, 2011 by crawleyeagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Oh for gods sake I post a windup and the forum goes into hyperdrive. Someone posted that it must be like a birthday and christmas rolled into one. No it's not because I actually like Eddie Kennett and think it's a real shame its him that has been caught. Would have been far better for it to have been one of the Poles/foriengers to be honest. Either way it's a Coventry rider who cheated, and that brings disrepute on that club. Perhaps I was a little over the top in my post and for that I apologise but at the end of the day club rivalries make it funny that Coventry are the ones who have been caught out. As for Eddie Kennett, as Nicholls has mentioned, there could be other riders who were also using illegal silencers and I am sure by now those have been dumped in the bin and they have tydied up their act. Well I hope so because I am sure this will bring around a lot more spot checks this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwardian Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Very true would also be very difficult to prove that the silencer had been tampered with before yesterday Hurray finally the aroma of coffee has finally been inhaled, cheats have been prospering Kennet is not the only one.if it is to found true that is. And with this coming out we all will see an interesting change of riders results these silencers have hampered riders therefore some have had to resort to cheating it is only my opinion but I will be watching with great interest who suddenly starts having problems and who looked to be riding terrible (as people report on here) suddenly look not that bad.interesting for sure, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie has been a silly boy, no doubt, but I can't help but feel that all the people calling for him to dragged through the streets naked and flogged are going over the top. The usual headless chicken brigade running around throwing insults all over the place as usual. Imagine what would have happened if it had been a Poole rider. Would we not see pages and pages of "Poole cheats", Hairdresser a disgrace" etc posts? Eddie will learn from this and after facing the consequences not do anything as silly again. Might hav to miss a while out but he will come back better for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josietoms Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Can I ask u a straight question steve that's just say it was ward or holder had been found to be cheating what would your reaction be. And if u read scott nicholls twitter kennet is not the only one who has been at it No need to ask him what he would do if it were a Poole rider cos it happened last season with madsen and he was welcomed back to Poole with open arms from 99% of Poole fans.

snapper-racing.co.uk Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I want to know what EXACTLY he has done here.... Is it external, is it unchromed? Is it me or does it only seem to be the king silencer that's having the problems? I can understand why there is the problems, at the start of the season riders were having problems sliding, the bike picked up too much grip all the time.... I can vouch for this I rode one at kings Lynn and it spat me off, yes I'm a. Lesser rider but I don't often fall off, but it made it so hard to slide. Suddenly there seemed no problems . Then rumours of cheating, then this. But I have to also ask why wasn't the problem detected before the match when machinery is properly checked, why only mid way through?

If a rider feels the need to alter these silencers then there is problem. Or is a case of " if you can't beat em join em". At the beginning there was uproar with these silencers it just a shame that some riders have had to resort in minor alterations. Eddie is not the only one he is the unlucky one that is if it is true!
