Referees will also be keeping an eye on his every "move" and he'll find his exclusion light on in every " incident" whether or not he was to blame.

Gavan Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 I would say Foord is totally reckless which in turn leads to him being dangerous Over riding the bike and little or no regard for his opponents He hasn’t got the skill set to ride as he is therefore yes he is dangerous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dellusioned and dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dellusioned and dangerous. I'm surprised you say that - Brough has lain dormant before and come back after a few years. The stadium has much going for it. To me, Diamonds fans always want a big number 1 and they haven't had one for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium has much going for it. To me, Diamonds fans always want a big number 1 and they haven't had one for a while. The reason Newcastle Speedway will not return is that the Stadium Owners - (Reuben family)- have removed every thing Speedway including the track, the fence, the pits, the electrics so they look like they will never have speedway while they own the stadium. In addition all the track staff for the dogs hate speedway and used to destroy things every week after the dogs on the Saturday night. When I used to go to the track early on Sunday mornings to arrange the erection of the air fence, my first job was find what fence tension wires had been cut and needed replacing. I used to report the damage to Alan Hedley who told the stadium management who did not respond. Equipment used to be hidden around the track which we had to find before we could get the stadium ready for speedway that night. The irony is Rob used to be stadium track staff before and during his riding for us and was suspected of being involved with the others on damaging the track and equipment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen him race live in four meetings and he crashed multiple times in all four, including two wrecked air fences and he wiped out two riders that were unable to continue afterwards. If that’s not dangerous, I’d dread to think what is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s not dangerous, I’d dread to think what is! Well I have seen him ride in more than four meetings and in quite a few he didn't crash! As I said he is young and will go for any gap. Scott Nicholls also got slated for doing the same when he was 19/20. And when Jason Doyle was younger he very rarely finished a race! It's an age thing.

In quite a few he DIDN’T crash, what an achievement! And yeah that’s why the likes of Sam Hagon, Dan Thompson, Ashton Boughen and Leon Flint, etc. go around knocking everybody off. Shocking excuse.

Some go for any gap, some don't and wait. Have given past examples on that. I already said Vinnie just needs to time things a bit better. H2 was 50/50 anyway but looked like Vinnie was slightly ahead when the crash happened imo. I'd be surprised if he still as impatient at 25. Just let him get on with learning.

Just letting him get on with learning is a ticking time bomb. He needs to change is attitude and riding style before he seriously injures somebody, if not himself. It’s amazing how many Poole fans that are completely blinkered when it comes to this. It’s not a personal insult on them. Let’s hope the people around Vinnie are actually offering good advice, as opposed to just letting him carry on like he is.

Riding with extra padding under his Kevlars and changed is bike frame from metal to rubber which will help him bounce off the fence better or if he clouts another rider. At least he is trying.

Noelinho Posted Wednesday at 06:56 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 06:56 PM I'm not a Poole fan but I think people are being a bit over the top. Vinnie's not the only young rider who crashes, there's a few others I can think that have had quite a few of them too! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
