english roundabout Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Starshooter, there are many fans who come to somerset to watch decent racing on a super little track who don't actually support the club. I do this fairly regular. I just want to see great racing. Doyley being there is an added attraction for me being a swindon fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally accept that but what gets me is the fact that he posts the same old drivel every time about the need to get all three points etc. Etc I truly hope that all people who come to Somerset enjoy the fantastic speedway that we get every week, I used to go to Swindon back in the Martin & David Ashby days when I was stationed at RAF Lyneham I even bought my first bike from Micky Keen when he had a garage at Minety I also remember an american rider called Sumner McKnight must have been about 1972 or 1973 Happy days Edited September 15, 2012 by starshooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldswindonsupporter Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Those were the days, when throttle control and the ability to ride a bike rather than go full pelt and hang on was the way to ride speedway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Somerset need to get all 3 points on friday? And If they was in the position to give Worky a Tonking wouldn't it have helped their cause points difference wise as to where they finish in the table, as the others have meetings in hand, and it well may go down to points difference as to where they finish? No? And yes i can also go back to the days of Martin Ashby Barry Briggs, but you still sound older than me!!

english roundabout Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Martin ashby still stands on the blunsdon terraces every week. Him and leigh adams were the best at passing riders at swindon. Chris harris is the best as a visiting rider. Saw alex davies make some superb passes at the oak tree arena last year. Gathercole was pretty good from the back too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
