So you are saying that Man City are a bigger club then Man Utd or that Huddersfield are bigger than Leeds or Aston Villa. Belle Vue are the biggest club in British speedway right now. Not the most successful true but they are the biggest in name All about winning mate. And anybody who disagree's is a liar, and i stick by that..

So are Man City bigger than Man United? How far back do you go? Poole haven’t won the league for 3 years now if they don’t win this year.......so by your line of reasoning Poole are not the biggest club. You can’t just say it’s about winning such a blinkered view....but expected. I guess speedway history only started in 2003 lol Edited September 13, 2018 by Gavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not all about winning through the 60/70/80 it was about speedway racing not follow the leader like today win lose what ever the crowds were still coming .I still say the biggest killer for speedway was the lay down engine alter the centre of gravity and they became easy to ride open the throttle and go.And you must still remember Bell Vue and Coventry have won more top league titles than Poole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Vue the biggest and best known speedway club in the uk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Jones Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Determining the " biggest club" is surely more about history +achievements . That will put Poole way down the list particularly when compared to a club like the Aces. Form is temporary class is permanent as someone once said.

A club once big but that is ancient history. Ask a sports fan in the street and Poole would be the first name mentioned, if they knew a team. Our dominance since the start of the millenium speaks for itself. When Belle Vue can come back and win 7 titles and three on the bounce perhaps they could be considered. But as of now there’s only one team and that’s clearly Pirates. Anyone who disputes this is either a troll or deluded. Simple as that really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who disputes this is either a troll or deluded. Simple as that really. That is the biggest load of sh!te I have read for a while! I believe that if you asked Joe Public (who are not speedway fans) about famous Speedway teams, they would probably mention Belle Vue, Wimbledon, White City and even Coventry before they would think about Poole! Yes, Poole have had good successes in the last decade but no way on earth can you compare that to the history of Belle Vue. Anyone who agrees with you is either a troll or deluded. Simple as that really! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ask any Dart player Speedway rider Jockey I do agree about the lay down engine though. To a certain extent is is open the throttle and go, unless you are Darcy Ward Chris Holder, but dont they use lay downs in the GP's ? Any good rider can still make a pass. So that sort of blows your thiery away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City or Man Utd Huddersfield or Leeds Bournemouth or Aston Villa You think the man on the street would say Poole if asked to name a speedway team lol. For someone to write the post you have your are either totally delusional or trollong Oh and the definition of troll is someone who says something to deliberately inflame.... see your post for details There are probably at least 4 or 5 clubs bigger than Poole...........or in your little world did speedway only start in the year 2000??? You do write a lot of garbage but this post is your best yet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
