There lots of people that come on here tthat all they want is to win ive been going to poole all life and i have felt like that speedway first winning second and i think your the same onward and upward !!!

I thought those reductions were only due when seasons were missed through injury and 'cant be arsed' isnt an injury in my book 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's particularly annoying when you don't actually read the post you're replying to. Like I said, winning isn't everything, but it's the best part for sure. More importantly, winning is what brings the money in. Without the money you'll have no sport left to enjoy. I've been a supporter of the pirates for 20 years. And the fact that people get great delight in us failing is great! You win some and you lose some. If us losing lights the fire in your belly then we're doing a good job. There is a difference between manipulating the rule book and getting the most out of the rules. Understanding the rules and working out how to use them to your advantage is almost as important as the racing itself. And the very same philosophy that Ivan Mauger lived by.

Did you ever watch Mauger ride at his peak and in his later years probably not ???? don't even mention Ivan in the same light as Poole speedway .If you have been a supporter for twenty years you would of seen some good days and bad surely you are not that thick to believe you can win every year try to be realistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Connor Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 I see Bjarne Pedersen is riding in the ben fund meeting without having a team place. Maybe he is a b choice? Whats his average. Is it Championship league friendly too? Just weird riding in a meeting with not having a team place? Unless us kings lynn fans are getting a little over enthusiastic expecting to have niels announced at our fans meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm.... I don't think you're intelligent enough to continue our debate. I have seen good days and bad days. Like I have said a million times, but you choose to ignore, IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT THE WINNING... but it is a damn good part, and without it we wouldn't make enough money for this sport to survive. I've spent years watching every bit of footage available and reading many books. So yes, I did watch as much of Ivan as I could. And let's be honest... he didn't have a shade on Darcy anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don’t put Pooles policy for success in the same basket as the Great Ace, Ivan Mauger. Not good, not good at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good, not good at all. Oh please, get over yourself. Ivan had a win at all costs mentality, exactly the same as Matt Ford. The only difference is Matt doesn't ride the bike himself!

Was a massive fan of his during his decade at Poole, but I can't imagine he'd do a great job anymore... saying that, what average is he on?
