Sidney the robin

I feel Stoneman and Hume are in the same category both in/ out racers and a fall could happen at anytime but Hume has regrouped this year and has been excellent for the cubs.

Dont give up on Kemp he would of learned an awful lot this season watch him on you tube in the under 21 final at Belle Vue he was really in the mix.He has had a tough time and Sheffield in the top 5 come to soon for him but next year he can improve also it just's shows you how the NL has got stronger.

Perry and Stoneman both could be real spoilers being a Robins fan be great to see young Anders in the mix wont be long until he is a fulltime robin.

Poor old Hitchey missed out on the double in 1967 Doris.

This meeting should be a very interesting one,will it be won by one of the old guard or will one of the young stars win it.I suppose Ellis Perks would be the favourite but i think it could be out of Perks, Kemp, Palin, Hume with maybe Ellis sneaking it.

Do you you class this cup win Doris as important as the Budgies 1967/ 68/ - 1994 Midland cup wins.?

A narrow win on aggregate for the Budgies i recon but this could be a tough evening.Even with Belle Vue having a disappointing season the aces are still an attractive team to watch with Fricke, Bewley,Lidsey, Etheridge all riders i like and will more and likely be the core of there 2020 line up.

Most of us have lumps and bumps Bagpuss but the Poole track has more than most.!!!I. I can only see an away win to be honest with Poole picking Ipswich for the semi final.Deep down i am hoping Poole pick Swindon with the thought of a little extra revenue softening the blow for if they were to lose in the semi.

You keep saying the standard has dropped i would say the Premiership level is as good as it has been for a while.Seeing Douglas/ Becker at reserve shows you that the level is not that bad.You think by bringing in the top stars that would rectify the problems i think not i would rather each club live within there means and keep the club's afloat.

He rode within himself because he did not trust the track.

He is good at Shovelling s... !!!!!

The track is one of the reason's why Holder's average is so low if he say went to Belle Vue he would easily put a point plus on his average.

Regrettably you are right a real shame as i believe the NL has come along way.

Totally right and being on a Sunday might of been a hindrance a renowned family day.If i can remember rightly Swindon did have a few meeting's around that time and not everyone has a budget to say stretch to three or four meetings in 20 days.I think the sprocket team could attract 500 regular's but on that day it did not show it i hope Lee Kilby has a rethink on that over the winter.

Terrific with young riders he would give them lots of help he was great mates with the great Phil Crump.
