Grachan 7,362 Posted April 16, 2007 In the Speedway Star Preview edition Jon Cook compared this year's Swindon side to the Ipswich side of 1998. I have vague memories of Ipswich having a great side then, but they are a bit dimmed as I wasn't paying much attention in those days. I just wondered what that side was and what it achieved. After all, it is cited on Wikepedia and the Ipswich website as being one of the greatest sides ever. Must be going some to beat Cradley 1983. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grachan 7,362 Posted April 16, 2007 Ah, the year of the 6 man teams. Very strange. Not a bad top 4 though, was it? How good was Scott Nicholls back then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grachan 7,362 Posted April 16, 2007 Thanks for that LW. Whatever happened to Savalas Clouting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
London Witch 57 Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) I still see Sal on the terraces from time to time. We also had the 1998 World Champion and Polish Champion, so a good year all round. Edited April 16, 2007 by London Witch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

youngy105 16 Posted May 10, 2007 And the 1st team to beat you that season was................ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Belle Vue.......if I recall correctly. Got that match on video somewhere. Didn't it go down to a last heat decider with Mr Belle Vue (Jason Lyons) passing both Gollob and Rickardsson to ensure victory for the mighty Aces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
