Sidney the robin

Just shows WK how Adams has lasted the test of time. A terrific team manager and speedway person and he made a great signing in Ravn.

Briggo beating Mauger really put him in the driving seat i am convinced he would of won it 14 points i recon even though Ole was flying that night.I would of give anything for Barry to have equalled the GREAT Fundin's record the one that got away eh.!!

David Tyler/ Miles Evans of Long Eaton were very influential in there successful season with Long Eaton i saw that team once at Stoke.

Did Svein (bless him) crash with Martin Ashby Paulco.?

Who over the years were the riders who really entertained you and stick out in your mind.A tough choice but here are my 10 choices no order.Briggs. Crump(senior). B.Thomas. C.Morton. PC. A.Smith. S.Mcconnell. N.Boocock. C.Lofqvist. Hitch.

He impressed me Gordon a real nice tidy style in a way reminds me of a young Mark Loram (some rider he was).I think young Josh can go along way in the sport.

Wallner looked a real entertainer when i see him Wilko is a whole hearted racer also Bailey his weakness is his gating. Whenever i have seen him he had to earn his points from the back.

Did Kelvin have alot of duels with Robert Barth on the Longtrack.?

Sprouts Alder he surely was a entertainer😅 i wonder if Sprout liked sprouts i can't stand em.

When you read posts like this for the life of me i don't know why Phil Rising bothers with this forum.Some of the crap he takes is unreal, none of us really know the real goings on in this case.Mr Rising for me has been great over the years on this forum helped lots of people i don't know why he bothers to be honest.

Well i hope the other one is up and running by then because if not bye bye Swindon speedway.😢

Wiggy.

I went through four groups the other day,and how tough was this to do.I did the 50s,60s,70s,80s.I hope most would agree with the riders entered here goes.(50s)-Fundin,Moore,Briggs,Young,,Craven.(60s)-Fundin,Mauger,Briggs,Knutsson,Craven.(70s)-Olsen,Collins,Mauger,Lee,Michanek. (80s)- Nielsen,Penhall,Gundersen,Lee,Carter.i expect some flak but it will be great to hear all of your opinions.😅all placed in my dubious order.

Rules TWK out 😆!! only joking WK,have articles about the track and i believe it was a Cinders surface and race meetings were sometimes on a Sunday.Apparently this caused alot of resentment from the locals and the regular Bible Bashers.

Swindon opened in 1949 before that racing in Swindon was operating in Gorse Hill has anyone on the forum ever been.? or heard from someone who has attended racing there.

Over a period i meant? What are you talking about.??? let's put it another way would you rather them break there budget and risk not having any speedway in the future.?There team this year Auty,Douglas,Kerr,Toft,Wallner,Wilko,and young Bailey are all racers not a gating tart between them.I am sure the Scunny fans will back me up on that.

Scunthorpe track a team they can afford you need to get REAL!!! for me this team will do ok certainly entertain.To be honest since 2011 and winning in 2012 the club put on a great show and in reality have OVERACHIEVED.

You won't see any better racing anywhere though Scunny/Belle Vue are miles ahead in that department.

Peter York in the Nielsen heyday was terribly annoying at Oxford shouting on the Mic.I went nearly everyweek in 84,85,86,he spoilt what was usually a great night out the new stand was superb then.

I love speedway just like you Ray, does it matter that much if you win or lose.For me a good nights racing is a few pints and a chat and come away feeling you have enjoyed the night.

I dont worry about the team i want to enjoy my night out if we do well great if not i can live with it..

Holder the last few years has been slowly feeling his way back after those really bad injuries.Britain last year right at the end things were beginning to click and in the GPS to.I can see him bossing Britain this year and be in the top six minimum in the GPS hope so anyway. I look at Poole and think have they got any RELIABLE big hitters which you can guarantee double figures plus 4/5 times no is my belief.Also Poole must be worried that Holder will get back to his best which he can do with this fresh challenge for him at Lynn signs look good started well in the Darcy meeting.

Poole are certainly weaker without CH away from home especially this myth about having more strength in depth cant see it great move for Holder.

All English riders ie) Lawson,R.Worrall,Bridger should all be fixed up before foreigners come in.

Glad Glyn got his job back, great news he will get the track right great that the Lions are back on track.
