g13webb Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Let's face it that would be a crap team cos very few of them would turn up for most meetings! Don't count me in that statement.. Only missed 12 meetings in 6yrs and most of them were due to Holidays.... Have never missed a match when I was free to go to..... Mind you I left early a few times, when the performance, or the application or the progression has been rubbish. Just because Buster gets my money every week, doesn't mean I don't have an opinion. As most know I speak as I find......Good or Bad..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 6. StarLady - Strongest reserve in the sport. Hard as nails on the opposition and not frightened to kick out that right leg if they get to close. Unfortunately (hence why a reserve) more often than not goes missing from meetings. At my age I reserve the right to go missing when my team mates forget the art of team riding and the ref decides we all have to take it very seriously and can't have any handbags to liven things up Put me in the team when any monsters are about tho and I'll be up for a maximum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Cheers all, given me a good laugh this morning which is much needed given the dose of man flu that's sprung upon me. We all have our thoughts and ideas about how the club can improve and move forward. Biased I know but always felt that as a bunch of fans we're pretty fair. We'd much rather be less successful and do it the right way rather than win at all costs (no names required). We had a great spell in PL from 2005 to 2009 winning pretty much everything bar the 4's. On the most part, we've held our own in the EL. Playoff contenders and the 2014 season will always be the one that got away. What has been clear is that things had gone stale behind the scenes. Too much going through the motions and taking things for granted. With the team I'm expecting, it should put things right on the track after last season. Hopefully Rob & Dale can inject some spirit back into the club. Also hope they have a good look at what teams like Glasgow & IOW are doing. Getting the fans involved and building a community club. We can all play a part too. Norfolk folk on the whole are a pretty reserved bunch but it would be nice to see some passion and colour from the fans as well. Maybe it's time for some first bend ultras Let's see what Friday brings!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Sounds like a generated story to add a bit of 'mystery' to the inevitable signing of Kurtz. Or the Pirates fear the potential Stars line-up and are trying to turn Batch's head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Sounds like a generated story to add a bit of 'mystery' to the inevitable signing of Kurtz. Sounds like a slow day in Dorset to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen many, many determined and spirited performances 😊Sounds like a slow day in Dorset to me.That's the plan, they only put out PR when there's no Bournemouth FC news, it's their secret, ace promoting etc .... Owwwwwww sounds mean and nasty, at this time of the year too .. Good will to all women and men, even Poole fans and management 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 AFC B are likely to have the main Echo back sports page today and tomorrow with them at home to Leicester City this evening, so as one or two have said its a good use of sports media with a speedway 'story'!!
