Choose Brits who WANT to ride for their country. He represents GB more than any other rider already!! It's great to hear that he is clearly involved with the new guy and thank god this new guy has the sense to want to involve the best rider we have. Woffy would know better who to represent us than Rosco. Any nation would bite the hand off of a star rider wanting to be involved so let's just hope it all works out so that he is back involved. Fingers crossed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szkocjasid 2,847 Posted March 2, 2018 It seems a while since Belle Vue had a Pole in the team! Artur Mroczka was the last one I believe? He was so promising at Poole expected him to do better for the Aces! Hopefully Drozdz will do the job Belle Vue are looking for - if he can stay in the team Bewley could be a great reserve!

If either Fricke or Tungate are flying round the NSS regularly, would it not be foolish to choose someone who has ridden only a handful of laps round the place.

Since when have Mildenhall, Workington, Glasgow and Ipswich been in the top flight for Jacobs to score a point? Belle Vue, the only track he can get around in the top flight, binned him because he was garbage elsewhere. A one trick pony. Harsh, yes, but true. As for changing allegiances, Swindon introduced me to speedway in 73 and by 76 I was living in Poole where I became a fan. 40 years a Pirate and proud of it. Still a STFC supporter though as I started going when I was 8. As for selling junk, I didn’t realise selling fine art was junk! My Steptoe ‘junk’ should do me nearly a million this year. Up the Pirates! ☠️ A million 'this year well done to you , fair play you said Brexit would be harmful to you you have done ok.!! aAs for Speedway knowledge wise you have not got a clue Joe Jacobs your nasty comments says it all to me you are limited Steve on Speedway knowledge a real shame but true.
