keef robin 551 Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) The best team you have seen for your club. Swindon 2012 champions...Andersen, Kildemand, Batchelor, Steady, Doyley (second string), Morris. Poole and Swindon were way ahead of everyone else, and fought out the final, with Swindon picking up their first champions trophy since 1967. Swindon 2009...finished top but lost the final to Wolves. Superb team riding from Adams and Zagar won nearly all heat 15s. Swindon 2007...finished second to Coventry and lost final to them. Adams, Richardson, Gjedde, Steady, Ulamek, Chrzanowski. In those 3 years at Fortress Blunsdon they only lost only 1 home match. In 3 home matches so far this year they've lost 2!

steve roberts 9,246 Posted May 29, 2017 Oxford Cheetahs 1986 who rode undefeated in the League and would have achieved a clean sweep of trophies except only the weather managed to beat them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,780 Posted May 29, 2017 For Lynn in my lifetime it would have to be the 2000 team in the top flight who lost out on the league title that night at Eastbourne, and for the second tier a toss up between the 2006 and 2009 teams which both won the treble.

Guest Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) The Wembley team of the immediate post-war seasons 1946 to 1950. Great riders like Bill Kitchen, Tommy Price, George Wilks, Split Waterman, Wilbur Lamoreaux, Bill Gilbert, Freddie and Eric Williams, were in their squad. Even the back-up team members like Roy Craighead, Charlie May, Alf Bottoms and 'Bronco' Wilson were more than a match for their opponents. Great memorable days for speedway when the sport operated with a REAL team structure. Edited May 29, 2017 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barney Rabbit 727 Posted May 29, 2017 Peterborough's 1999 treble winners. Managed it with just the seven riders. Crump, Howe, Tesar, Sadler, Sullivan, Andersen and Jirout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waiheke1 4,295 Posted May 30, 2017 At home it has to be the 84 Aces team, who routinely wracked up 50 point, and even multiple 60+ scores yet somehow ended the season trophy less, runners up in all 4 competitions. Never boring despite the scores, as Ross Courtney Mort Smith PC P Carr and Mckinna were all racers. But taking away form into account, has to be the 82 title winning side. Strongest BL side I saw was the Cradley side of 83, best WTC side the Denmark line up of mid 80s of Gundersen Nielsen Jan O and Knudsen. Some of the Polish club sides of recent times make that Heathens side look average though... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
