Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted September 8, 2018 22 minutes ago, foreverblue said: The problem is that a race like heat 13 was commonplace years ago and if we had more of them then the sport as a whole would benefit. Surely more people would turn up if a race like that could happen more often. Kings Lynn and Peterborough had a reputation for being good racetracks but not so much these days.Leicester had the chance to make a good racetrack but seem to have messed it up. Could tracks be changed to make them more like the NSS or should we just be happy that we have speedway at all and accept that some tracks are better than others. Trouble is it costs too much to alter a track shape. Tens of thousands of pounds. Hopfully Swindon will have a good new race strip after the new stadium arrives from Wales.

Perhaps his ex wife came home early from work and caught him prancing in front of the mirror after raiding her knicker drawer? Heard the ex wife left him as he spent all his time on the laptop either tweeting fake twitter accounts begging for topless photos and on the Poole topics and spent zero time on her.

Shovvy gets stick but id say 9/10 of the people who give it actually have a soft spot for him, i know of at least 5 people pn here who constantly bicker with him but happily have a pint with him when they meet at speedway. your just a warped, strange character. It is extremely odd how you spend so much time on these Poole topics but never on Ipswich ones. you clearly have issues. Shovvy is a BSF legend though, he throws out bait constantly and is still reeling them in years later. I bet he'd be good crack over a pint. You're right about Gavan, very strange individual, addictive personality it seems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking from facts ... ive been in the prince of wales Cardiff on GP day when theres been about 100 people off this forum in there and near enough everyone of them wants a pint and a convo with Shovvy.

Above is your first post in the thread following the meeting, straight away you are on the attack instead of just offering the Loram/Louis race as an alternative for debate. The Loram/Louis race was a goodun, so was the Havvy/Rempala race that Shovlar had posted but you described that as just 2 riders passing, then promptly offered up a 2 rider race as being superior, that kind of dilutes your cause don't you think. 1 hour ago, Gavan said: Its only one or two fans of Poole that let their club down I found it farcical that we saw an amazing heat 13 at Belle Vue then we had Shovlar try an prove the Poole track has good racing by putting a video up from god knows how many years ago!! The man is just laughable. I then commented that yes the Havvy, Rempala race was good but that heat 13 was better and it had all 4 riders in the action rather than just the 2. I also commented that the best race i had seen with 2 riders passing and repassing was Loram v Louis in 1997 British Final....................only to be told that i was anti Poole..............must remember to not have an opinion lol Again, on the attack and stretching the truth, you never mentioned Loram/Louis in the context of it being the best 2 rider race you'd seen but, conveniently, today you twist the words a little to suit yourself. I replied the other day to ask you if you are ever able to be non-confrontational, to which you bleated about being picked on . Thing is Gavan, you are the most aggressive poster on here imo, it's only where Poole are concerned from what I see but it's definitely you who rises up with or without provocation. If you are the same in real life you must be an absolute f------g nightmare to be around, surely you don't go round behaving so aggressively, chill out man, it's just the internet.

Sorry maybe my original post should have had a longer wording. I clearly state the Poole race wasnt as good as heat 13 as there was only 2 riders..and also said the Poole race wasnt as good as Loram v Louis in my opinion looking at 2 rider races.

Heat 13 was excellent but Doyle never looked for his team mate once in the meeting never mind the race. On the second bend of lap 4 Doyle messed up and his speed was scrubbed allowing Fricke to catch and blast around. Excellent action.
