Gavan Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Bout time the Poole promotion made the right decision and leave Ward out of there immediate plans for 2015 and try to get Janowski back asap. Lets be fair thats also what the majority of Poole fans want to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have started some good topics TWK and people try to wind you up but you don't go threatening people. We all have to follow the same set of rules and pay the same price if we don't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all have to follow the same set of rules and pay the same price if we don't. I agree with what you are saying but goading someone who has a short fuse in to being aggressive is not good. That has happened to sidney on a number of occasions. We are all different and react to things in different ways. sidney tends to jump in all guns blazing - some people know that and 'set him up'. I just don't think that is right. If someone attacks me I will come back at them but in, I hope, in a measured way - not everyone is like that though. It would be a shame if we all thought\reacted the same way. It would be very boring on here for a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people have a short fuse when they are young but usually learn to be a bit more measured as they get older. If someone's choice in life is not to learn by experience, and to react in a hotheaded way all the time they cannot expect people to keep cutting them slack time after time. As I said, we all have to follow the same forum rules. Most of us disagree quite strongly at times but we have to learn to get over it and get on with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I think you will find he has and quite rightly as well. I served a ban for calling someone a numpty so the abuse he was dishing out was deserving of a long ban Yeh, and im very sure you played your part...

I saw my first speedway meeting much later than you - at New Cross in April 1946. There was "a promising" England rider named Jack Parker. I wonder what happened to him?

Sidney is always the one who starts the aggression, usually when he is completely wrong regarding something and isn't adult enough to admit it. He generally sets himself up by making ludicrous comments with no degree of accuracy. When quite rightly he is corrected on said comments the fireworks begin. Edited to add:- However I do miss him. A lot of the banter with him is great fun and the forum is a worse place without him. Edited January 20, 2015 by BWitcher 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was "a promising" England rider named Jack Parker. I wonder what happened to him? If there is one rider I wish I could travel back in time and see it is Jack Parker. Evrything I have read about him oozes professionalism... He contested the British Match Race Chamionship someting like 21 times and won, I think 18 or 19'of them, and that was in an era of some cracking riders. It must have been great going to speedway meetings in the late forties/early fifties to see a rider like Parker riding to a packed stadium. I've seen some old newsreels on YouTube and it looks great. As soon as I finish inventing my time machine , my top priority will be going back to see if. Jack Parket what's as good as the history books tell us. When we compare Parker to Dacy Ward there must be a lesson there somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Talking of the match race championship and time machines...my choice would be Tom Farndon.Tom won the match race title in 1934 and was unbeaten through five challenges until he died following a track crash in 1935. So much did the championship become synonymous with him that the competition was suspended on his death and did not return until after the War.Tom was the ultimate professional of his time. He trained hard, didn't smoke and was tee-total. He was also the most spectacular rider of his time. He was a charismatic figure who was idolised in his day, with a personal following only equalled by footballers and film stars. Funny he never found it necessary to be "one of the lads" in the pub the night before a meeting to achieve all this. He did his talking on the track.If there are any lessons to be learned by Darcy Ward, he need look no further than Tom Farndon.
