hagonshocker Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 I did wonder if Morra might have gone elsewhere this year as he did not improve much last year, maybe a year away might have helped him. I posted the same about Jason not being a team rider and looking after his team mate which will not help on fri in the pairs. He is very good but not a team rider like L Adams was who could slow down the opposition and allow his partner, even a second string rider come through. LA and Darky two of the best team riders I've seen in recent era 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Darcy was a wonderful team rider. The best we've had in recent times. It's true about Jason. Even if he is behind a second string rider on a 5-1 he will overtake. I hope he does team ride this year as he could make mincemeat of most of this league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poole keith Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 much safer not to team ride,and the super mark loram very often said team riding when you were on a 5-1 wasnt always the best option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Adams with Ruud/J.Wright as( ex) was a brilliant team rider awesome.P.Crump another one a superb team rider Darcy well for his age was a one/off team rider.Watched alot of matches with Shocker last year and we both moaned when Sedgy had gated had done the hard work and Jason would steam by and leave Sedgy vulnerable.I am not knocking Doyley as we are all big fans of his i just hope he looks a bit more for his partner this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Riders should always look to team ride, it's what the fans want to see and a skill in itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Have a feeling Doyley will be doing plenty of 'team riding' early stages of the season and not wanting to pass his partner , bonus points don't count towards the average if you get my drift just a hunch 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His team riding with Lee Richardson and latterly Matej Zagar was in my opinion even better Sid. Leigh ensured Travis McGowan's bank account looked a little better by team riding him through to many heat advantages too. Such a skill, especially as McGowan's machinery seemed as sluggish as Ronnie Russell's tractor. Such a shame Doyley doesn't seem to do it. We shall see if that changes this Friday. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, he would also slow down the opposition so that Cory Gathercole could come through on bend two of the first lap and sometimes stay with him for the rest of the race.

keef robin Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 That brand new Robin logo looks scary, theyre asking the kiddies to name it. I would go with Mad Robbie, Rockin Robin, or Rampant Rosco! Gates open to fans 5.00 today for practice session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that the logo to be named is just the mascot, they are still using what looks like a swallow on the race suits. Is the mascot suit for Rosco ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keef robin Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Good to meet Orlovsky and have spin in his Lambo afterwards around car park,a shrewd investor. Never seen such a big crowd for a practice session, at least 200 cars in car park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a shame they could not have got the existing track authorised to run it, I was looking forward to seeing that meeting. I had a look at the progress on the new stadium last night but there was not any progress or stadium, just still a big heap of dirt and a few stone gabions.

I have never paid when parking at Poole stadium. I thought the Council owned the stadium, not Stadia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Stadia UK have the lease to manage the whole site. They take all the revenue from parking, bars and the restaurant. The car park is used substantially during the day time by lots of different office and hospital staff and usually clears out from 5pm onwards to allow the speedway parking to commence on meeting days.

Crazy robin Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Colin Pratt in Speedway Star says U21 final has been reallocated away from Swindon to another (as yet undecided) U K venue. I said that 2 months ago as Swindon had to pull out of it or face paying if they didn't & couldn't stage the meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
