    Milik last year was very impressive a great signing if Poole get him certain favourites for the title.

    Only four home fixtures from April 6th until June 1st will have to travel to a few other tracks.

    I think you will find he is very popular with the fans and for me that is what speedway is all about.It is not all about averages you said Auty last year was the worst rider to ride at Poole all year have a look at how many he scored there at the end of the year.

    Were Poole not opened in 1948.?

    The Great Entertainers.

    Steve Gresham was a frustrating rider for me a real tough man and rider.He showed in the England v Usa tests he could compete against the best but he never pushed on.In 81 the Holloway/Gresham partnership was one of the best we have ever had even got 5/1s against the Collins/Grahame partnership which took some doing.Gresh had a reputation but everyone i have spoke to said he was a really nice bloke i only met him once and i can second that.

    The Great Entertainers.

    Two of those blokes Mad Jack and Childs were enterainers and tough but were great team men to.😀
  7. Veijo Tuorniemi the Finn at Swindon who was recommended by Bob Radford who was a great judge really struggled at Swindon.
  8. Point taken sorry "iris, what was your opinion of the german's Hack,Wassermann, Riss (snr who i rated highly ) .I ask you because they were not world beaters but very talented and you know the Germany history / Future scene very well.
  9. He was not unknown but he failed in Britain 😜god "iris just have a chat debate like everybody else is it that hard.?✌️️
  10. Thanks Dave as usual you come up with the stats i havent quite got Dementia yet ( a wicked illness😡) Andy Campbell eh!!.was the other Exeter rider in heat 8.

    Saying that Poole also looks like a worn down 1950s stadia as well, and the track last year was generally garbage ask CH.😜Without the area and Poole is a lovely place to go ,Wimbourne Rd is hardly the ritz is it.🤓
  12. I totally agree "Red Flag" Danielsson was a very promising rider indeed not all the riders listed were poor not at all.
  13. Ulf Lovaas Conny Samuelsson what is your opinion of those two Steve.?
  14. Henrik Glucklich,Kjelle Gimre, Hassie Dannielsson, Knud Ellegaard, Leif Berlin,Larry Kosta,Kurt Hansen, Stanislav Urban,Joseph Angermuller,Les Liesk,Adi Funk,a few that bring back memories.😅
  15. I do remember in 84 for Reading Malc popping out the start in heat 8 and winning and beating Frank Andersen and another??I never went to Exeter in the 69/70/71/72 seasons but first went in 73 to see Autrey.It was such a shock to see as a young lad with the track shape and all the streets behind remember it well.I would imagine Ashby/Kilby would be up there with the best around the county ground even though both said they were not totally in love with the track.Holden (bless him was decent there) also Farrell and Maxfield were two i enjoyed watching.
  16. I loved my visits to the County ground a great day out went quite alot the season Ivan did home meetings only 84? The track was so fast scary to be honest and my favourite rider who i watched a few times there Malcolm Holloway struggled there badly.Mauger,Autrey,Crump,Adams,Loram are up there as the best that i ever saw at the Country ground was looking back over the years SIMMO missed a few meetings there over the years.?
  17. I don't know what others think but i do think alot of these foreigners at the time had poor aquipment.I can remember seeing certain riders aquipment and thinking they had just bought there bikes from a scrapyard.Jancarz,Plech,Stancl,Kasper i know a different level to those mentioned would if organised ( no permit issues)would of been forces in England.Two riders i always felt could of been decent were Anders Ericksson and Bjorj Klingberg it never quite happened for them.

    I hope it is the whole season at the Abbey if the new stadium happens great.You have to say even at the very least the Communication has been very poor.

    Swindon 2017

    All i have heard is that work has started yet nothing really has happened??knowing when the stadium is going to be ready is uncertain is it not.??

    Swindon 2017

    Will be planning my days off around Somerset now fed up of the uncertainty.Wish they had just planned a season at the old stadium i will be amazed if the stadium is ready for the U21 meeting hope i am wrong though.

    Coventry 2017

    Speedway is a ten pound sport now, people like me keep paying because we love the sport.When i see families at the speedway when you add it all up getting in buying the kids there treats god it can really be an expensive night out.Needs to be looked at for families to get discounts how many families can afford two meeting's in a week? especially if you follow the football as well.
