Aces High Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 2 hours ago, GWC said: The assets debate remains a moot point in speedway but in the case of BV if they have invested (money) in their development then so be it. Its signing riders from overseas and then declaring them an asset that’s controversial. We have done that with Drozdz as well though. At least there is a clear strategy in place though which is good to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWC Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Hmm, I wonder if Joe Jacobs had been given another chance in the BV team rather than released because his average was a point too high might he be still riding. Bewley and then Bickley may be BV future but if their average doesn't fit , asset or not they will be jettisoned, something Collins and Morton didn’t have to worry about.

Gunner85 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 In fairness Joe Jacobs average put him out of the team for the following year. A talented rider who was great at Belle Vue whereas points came difficult away.... amazed that no one gave him a good crack of the whip after he left Belle Vue.

Steve Shovlar Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Because he was a one track pony. And the track he was good at didn't even want him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows your total lack of respect and certainly any knowledge of speedway, was Joe useless at Mildenall ? was he useless at Workington ? was he useless at Glasgow ? was he useless at Ipswich ? the answer is NO.Your club knows the numbers game better than anyone Newman bombed out Howarth bombed out Starke bombed out all Brits best you stick to selling your Steptoe/Son junk and comment on another sport.!!!!

GWC Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 This just shows how low the sport of Speedway is in the UK -‘average too high and a one track pony’ sum up a ghastly image. What rider is going to give ANY club their all if they get jettisoned after half a season performance. Joe is/was a young rider still finding his way in a tough sport. If we don’t give encouragement to our home grown riders then the sport will be finished far sooner than the doom mongers suggest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Vue have had the glory years and a long period where we were bottom of the league or thereabouts. I've followed them throughout even though for many years I have lived much closer to other teams that have been or, still are in the top league. I could never imagine changing my allegiance to the Aces and very rarely miss a home meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not, todays speedway fans don't get enough speedway, so even though it's not a particular strong field it is another meeting with the incentive for the riders to compete in an international meeting and a final in Poland. Bring it on I say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do make me laugh. No nothing about speedway? Lol! Since when have Mildenhall, Workington, Glasgow and Ipswich been in the top flight for Jacobs to score a point? Belle Vue, the only track he can get around in the top flight, binned him because he was garbage elsewhere. A one trick pony. Harsh, yes, but true. As for changing allegiances, Swindon introduced me to speedway in 73 and by 76 I was living in Poole where I became a fan. 40 years a Pirate and proud of it. Still a STFC supporter though as I started going when I was 8. As for selling junk, I didn’t realise selling fine art was junk! My Steptoe ‘junk’ should do me nearly a million this year. Up the Pirates! ☠️ Edited March 2, 2018 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Doubt there would be many there. Smaller crowd than a league meeting. Shame its not the final but Poland insist on such events.
