Tsunami Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 cant disagree with this but family dont always make the best advisors Very true. There are very few successful father/son rider relationships that work in speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigballs Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 I dunno about British Speedway needing Robert but as a British Speedway fan I want to see him race here please He is a huge draw card so of course British Speedway needs him .......

OveFundinFan Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 and at the age of 17 Come on bigballs, what was you doing at 17, did you get to world championship meeting of any sort (including tiddlywinks or ludo), not as a spectator but as a competitor? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw42 Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 and at the age of 17 Come on bigballs, what was you doing at 17, did you get to world championship meeting of any sort (including tiddlywinks or ludo), not as a spectator but as a competitor? At 17 bigballs had a bright future, his big balls were his ticket to fame & fortune, then along came Buster Gonad (with his infeasibly large testicles) to end the hopes and dreams of bigballs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buster_Gonad This may explain his attitude towards Lambert.

BWitcher Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 can think of 3 that I have seen tai, Simon Stead and David Howe I'll exclude Tai from the list but the other two are precisely the reasons why parents should step aside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 I'll exclude Tai from the list but the other two are precisely the reasons why parents should step aside. Kasprzak was another one whose career never really took off and was hopelessly unreliable until he broke away from his fathers influence.

stevehone Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 arguably, Kenny Carter missed out on the '82 world title through his dad interfering with Ivan Mauger's advice 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) I did see Phil at GPs,but he seemed to let Jason and his team get on with things.There hasn't been that many mums in the pits though from memory Robert is still very young though and it is his talent that has shot him into the limelight at an age when I guess a lot of riders still have their dads with them.Mike Lee was probably still with his dad at this age wasn't he?Ronnie Moore still did,although he came from the other side of the world,so maybe more understandable Edited August 22, 2015 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
