    Swindon 2017

    Danny are you sure? a poor product no way in a month of Sundays should we pay 17 pound a meeting for a real bang average product..I will pay it i still love going a great night out for me but in reality no way is this product worth 17 pound a head.

    No chance of Zagar coming back he is one of the reasons why Belle Vue are in trouble.

    DC was thinking that myself in those U21s meetings last season i recon there were at least 10 riders better than Andersen in it Hansen (dane certainly).Andersen is promising has good credentials but i feel now maybe it was not a good time to introduce him.

    Ipswich 2017

    I think Chris has been very wise this year as the format now allows Danyon/Connor to be very competitive.They will riding against some riders that they have already beaten in the NL and at home i think both will be fine.Away from home it will be a learning curve for both of them.Hume i think will do well at home especially,Mountain also has real talent it will be harder for him though as he is coming back from a bad injury.

    Thought so "Col" was hoping Bewley would come in on a 2.00 is it now 3.90? as his PL average is 4.00.I dont think you can have Williamson (he is improving done well) and another 2 pointer it is not strong anough.Bewley would hold his own and home and at times have to be carried a bit away he has to be in this years Belle Vue's side for me.

    Is that not harsh Steve?surely he should be a 2 pointer i hope it does not cost him a place.

    Steve as your memory is spot on the money can you remember at Oxford in 1978 at the end of the season Oxford v Supporters Select.? George Hunter,Pip, Sheilds Hack (ect) v a select and i can remember Holloway scoring 10 at reserve.Also remember going to a NL England v Australasia test match as well.

    I really enjoyed the old NL i see quite alot of NL stuff over the years with the Owen brothers, old stagers Etheridge,Jackson,Sage, a nice blend of young and old riders.Do any of us think or believe that when the Rasmussen/Schroeck situation arose did that really have a massive effect on British speedway long term i believe it did.

    Belle Vue 2017

    Bewley for me is quite away ahead of Shanes and certainly Nielsen before he got injured he had a mega month had a great meeting at Somerset guesting i think?) The only concern is has Bewley got the aquipment and back up to do two or three leagues i hope BV he stays with you maybe carry him i think he is a hell of a prospect.

    I dont think there is a right or wrong Iris i enjoyed watching both Morton brothers Chris is one of the most exciting riders i have ever seen.

    Forget 71/86 after Dave broke his leg he was never the same again that is what you are forgetting.

    Poole 2017

    Funny really because a few of us on here said that Charles was at least as good if not better than Newman.Good luck to Charles i believe on better kit he is capable of improving more in the future he is great value as well.

    I was not trying to prove a point at all, but you have not answered the point of the 76 year? will you give Dave credit for that year.? Dave was terrific for the Hawks that year i have always said that Chris was the better rider but Dave in that one season was on fire.SHADOW of his brother NO Dave Morton was a very good rider in his own right did you see him for Hackney Iris.?
  22. Sidney the robin

    Unsung Heroes.!

    My point was that Dave was not in Chrissies shadow for those three seasons 1976 Dave averaged over 10 i think Chris averaged 9.53?.Chris we all knew he would go on to great things but my memory in that 76 season when i saw Dave ride he was flying.

    Iris Dave Morton before he broke his leg at Hackney was never in the shadow of Chris in 76 Dave averaged over 10 not bad. Chris who i admired greatly had a great career but Dave before his injury was no mug certainly not in his brothers shadow.

    Somerset 2017

    Can't believe Bradley has missed out on a place would of loved him at Swindon.Just hope he gets something sorted out before March, it will be a shame if he can't carry on with the progress he has made in the last two seasons.

    Dave Morton was only in the shadow of Chris after he broke his fibia which basically finished him as a top class rider.At Hackney Dave was superb and for me was a better rider than Chris up until he broke his leg.
