So you are saying that Man City are a bigger club then Man Utd or that Huddersfield are bigger than Leeds or Aston Villa. Belle Vue are the biggest club in British speedway right now. Not the most successful true but they are the biggest in name All about winning mate. And anybody who disagree's is a liar, and i stick by that.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So are Man City bigger than Man United? How far back do you go? Poole haven’t won the league for 3 years now if they don’t win this year.......so by your line of reasoning Poole are not the biggest club. You can’t just say it’s about winning such a blinkered view....but expected. I guess speedway history only started in 2003 lol Edited September 13, 2018 by Gavan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not all about winning through the 60/70/80 it was about speedway racing not follow the leader like today win lose what ever the crowds were still coming .I still say the biggest killer for speedway was the lay down engine alter the centre of gravity and they became easy to ride open the throttle and go.And you must still remember Bell Vue and Coventry have won more top league titles than Poole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Belle Vue the biggest and best known speedway club in the uk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Jones 2,124 Posted September 13, 2018 Determining the " biggest club" is surely more about history +achievements . That will put Poole way down the list particularly when compared to a club like the Aces. Form is temporary class is permanent as someone once said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't expect you to understand the post.It was about which track produces the best racing ,BV or Poole.

Ask a sports fan in the street and Poole would be the first name mentioned, if they knew a team. Our dominance since the start of the millenium speaks for itself. When Belle Vue can come back and win 7 titles and three on the bounce perhaps they could be considered. But as of now there’s only one team and that’s clearly Pirates. Anyone who disputes this is either a troll or deluded. Simple as that really. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that if you asked Joe Public (who are not speedway fans) about famous Speedway teams, they would probably mention Belle Vue, Wimbledon, White City and even Coventry before they would think about Poole! Yes, Poole have had good successes in the last decade but no way on earth can you compare that to the history of Belle Vue. Anyone who agrees with you is either a troll or deluded.
