With Rosco having the pub I think he probably said Nick is an 8 pint rider!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching H&H in heat 15 at Brandon many times is among my fondest speedway memories. If Greg rides for Wolves next year, I'll be be there, more than once. His appearance in Britain in, what may be his his final year, would be very special indeed. [I hope he reads this] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMessiahOfTheBSF Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 Exciting times for Wolves fans. Is Freddie returning or has CVS pulled a rabbit out of the hat and got a GP rider in for 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think quite a few Cradley supporters and quite a few Coventry supporters, not to mention quite a few speedway supporters, will want to watch Greg in any race jacket. We owe him quite a lot. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked distances, Wolves to Cradley was approx 8-9 miles. Having researched local rivalries, the only one that I could find closer was Hackney to West Ham which was an incredible 3 miles apart. In other words the rivalry was out of this world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves team will be built to 40.5. I am inclined to agree with this. Woffinden/Lindgren or both, I'm not sure I can see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjsj9803 Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) We had Hamill 06 and 07 those weren't my favourite years. As for having H&H as a spearhead I would have struggled to have any passion, CVS and PA took a calculated risk in 06 07 and it semi paid off I guess, but to have both from a Wolves turnstiles perspective it could have been Monmore suicide. There are rivalries and then there are rivalries and hammering spoons was always my favourite followed by Coventry then the rest.... It didn't seem the same wateching H&H at Brandon, so for me we not only lost the Cradley/Wolves but also took the edge off Cov/Wolves for a few years. Hancock is a great Ambassador for speedway and 50 odd yrs old a rarity still there or there thereabout with guys less than half his age at top level, and he is a genuine decent bloke....... but he was a huge gating tart and massive roller (when you were allowed) and is still a Spoon. I will still pay to stand on almost empty terraces at the few tracks Wolves go to in 2020 look around get a coffee and enjoy the racing, but it won't be the same as eating a pork sandwich on the back straight of a packed Bomb site arguing the toss with spoon rivals, and that's just how it is. A 1991 gem from Hancock introducing the Wolves faithful to the bird ))))) Edited December 1, 2019 by rjsj9803 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Would you be peed if your last 3 riders are becker, masters and JT. Cos that's what I heard. Leaving you well under the limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
