Bruiser McHuge Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 There doesn't seem to be many long lasting rider rivalries any more..all the top riders seem quite matey...maybe riding with each other all the time round Europe has made them too matey The rivalries like Carter v Penhall, then Americans in general....Nielsen v Gundersen etc ..genuine needle..all this seemed to add something to meetings....I like a little needle and genuine rivalry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Knight Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I could never see Jack Millen and Frank Aufrett being 'matey'. :shock: :shock: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Stoke and Sheffield was a pretty heated rivalry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vog Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Stoke and Sheffield was a pretty heated rivalry. I used to love those meetings. It always helped that Sheffield travelled in numbers to Stoke, and it always gave a fantastic atmosphere. The anger when Richard Hall took a heat 15 was a sight to behold!

BWitcher Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Wolves V Cradley without a doubt. Those who didn't/haven't experienced it have missed out majorly and I suppose will never understand. You would have good mates, i.e. the Americans.. Ermolenko/Correy/Hamill/Hancock etc do anything and I mean ANYTHING to beat each other in those matches... even challenges. I just hope they stop creaming the money and get Cradley back up to the top flight where they belong so we can see more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhamboy66 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 West ham / Hackney in more than one era Rye House / Mildenhall as big as any in the late seventies Wolves V Cradley without a doubt. Those who didn't/haven't experienced it have missed out majorly and I suppose will never understand. You would have good mates, i.e. the Americans.. Ermolenko/Correy/Hamill/Hancock etc do anything and I mean ANYTHING to beat each other in those matches... even challenges. I just hope they stop creaming the money and get Cradley back up to the top flight where they belong so we can see more! Can't see it happening for the reason you state..money. Seems crazy that the most profit can be got from the lowest of the three leagues but then again says an awful lot about the structure of the sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be fair,it was so much more hostile,before the Yanks arrived. So much bitterness in the Ivor Brown era,even got a caution myself from the Old Hill constabulary,and i didnt even do anything,bar shoving a air horn up someones skirt.

BWitcher Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Agree it was more hostile, just used the Americans to emphasise, even they got sucked into the rivalry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockets Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Rye house and mildenhall late seventies for me. A genuine dislike that still festers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
