Steve Shovlar Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Swindon v Poole, not Poole v Swindon. i believe Poole will win at Blunsdon next season, if we get the team Matt is trying to assemble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glory over money surely? It's national pride and a title? Other than aussies and tai. Are there any other notable absentees from national championships.

Nice sentiment but if competing costs you the money you need to set up for the next European season where you may actually earn something......

I’ve already asked you to put your money where your mouth is....you talk the talk, let’s walk the walk....£50 per loss per team to the ben fund. To clarify...£50 each meeting your team loses. do you the balls to back up your chat. Edited January 6, 2018 by hyabb17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s it, Steve, crank up the smugness just like last year so it’s even sweeter when we thrash you again and again and win the league yet again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolebolton Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Let’s be carful. This Swindon team looks pretty good and so far of the teams announced looks better than anyone else. Better than Rye, Somerset and Wolves by a mile. Good side apart from the reserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue the big names earn enough. its probably more to to do with arrogance. You know. Bigger than the title itself. Or scared they will be beaten by a lesser name. I feel a bit sad for the Aussie fans who don't get to see their own stars ride, Actually they deserve a gp but the "rockstar" riders don't. Bet they use the line "it's great to ride here in Australia" when the gp is in town though. Even though they have many opportunities to raise the profile there now riding and doing there bit.

For me it’s about giving something back. Those blokes that gave up their time picking you out of the airfence or just stood holding a flag whilst you learned to slide a bike. I love seeing a lad succeed and to see them strut their stuff as a top liner after all those years is great. Whats the saying, be nice on your way up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 10 hours ago, Gavan said: Seems Poole right to get rid of Jack Holder didnt do that well in oz today. Kurtz did ok but beaten by a Belle Vue heat leader and Belle Vue second string shows that he could possibly be the weakest number one in the league. Josh Pickering looked good maybe someone in the top flight might take a chance on him It makes me laugh when people decide to base a rider entire next 12 months in Europe based on a meeting or 3 in Australia on weird tracks and probably on weird bikes. Holder, Kurtz, Fricke, Tungate and Pickering have all ridden between 30 and 100 meetings in Europe the last 12 months for you to know how good they are. The idea that 1 meeting is going to suddenly make them good or bad is laughable. People do this with Mason Campton year after year, he does alright in Aus then people are shocked that he's still rubbish in the UK - like themn previous years of being rubbish in the UK don't matter!

Pinny Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Just a joke when people see a few Aussie results and try making it out as if thats how they will ride all season in the UK. Sedgmen is another who is superb in Aus then quite frankly pants in the UK. Brady Kurtz when announced as Pooles number one looked weak as people assumed the big guns would be flocking back to UK speedway, but they havent and now its becoming clearer that this top flight will be one of the weakest ever, BK is starting to look like one of the stronger number ones.
