You must realise that speedway didn’t exist before Poole started winning You also must realise that Manchester City, Chelsea and Leicester are bigger clubs than Man Utd as they haven’t won the league for a while. Lets say this year Somerset win it and then do so for the next 2 years. Does that make them bigger than Poole?? No it doesn’t It’s just the same load of tripe from the same posters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose we could say it's closer to the topic than the comedy being posted by Shovlar & his shadow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Belle Vue certainly have always been the biggest club, Poole for years were nobody also rans most of the time a .great club still and the majority of there fans Poole ( who are not deluded) are pretty impartial and are really good and loyal fans.Coventry,Cradley, Wolves, and ( Ipswich to an extent were the best teams generally over a period Reading 73 and Sheffield 74 were really good sides to.

Pirates Of Poole Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) Since 2000 which I would call the modern era Poole have been the most successful club with Coventry not far behind. But Belle Vue remain the ‘most successful’ of all time currently even though they have have failed to win a league title for 25 years. Anyway back to Poole 2019 - Top 4 of Chris Holder, Jack Holder, Chris Harris & Brady Kurtz.

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. ... and you definitely whine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's also fair to remind Shovlar & starman that The aces have been running continuously since 1928, even operating through WW2. A history that no other club operating currently can match I believe. For their part The pirates didn't get started until twenty years later (1948) and there have been gaps in their history where the club has closed down for periods. When considering greatness history is most important, it's unfair to just select a short period (as you call it the modern era ) & expect everyone to forget the rest , to justify a claim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly they are all but dead. This one club is bigger than another is absolute BS. What are the rules, criteria and why does it matter? From what I have just read Nottingham Forest are a bigger club than Man City. Belle Vue are a famous name but I believe today, the response (regarding name me a Speedway Team) would very much depend on the age group questioned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinny Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 People keep banging on about BV being the biggest most famous club in history. Maybe thirty odd years ago. But my memories of them since 1999 are of a bottom of the league backmarker most seasons with a disgraceful track (kirky lane) . Theyve now moved tracks to a better one and a better stadium but still havent won anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
