Triple.H. 1,986 Posted August 31, 2014 Only problem with Poole's presenter is he takes to long to introduce the riders and by the time he gets to Darcy Ward the rest of the riders have started their practice lap!!!!He won't have that problem for a while 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crazyb 156 Posted September 2, 2014 Porkie at wolves, yorkie any where, the couple at Leicester, does anybody remember the bloke at carmarthen he wasnt on the centre green, in the box, never had to re-fill in my programme so much in my life wanted to kill the bloke. the most annoying for me is the bloke at peterborough again not on the centre but in the box, will insisit on telling you things about the rider as he tells you the result. the best at the moment has got to be dave rowe, clear voice, tells the result as it is. Can't stand either Craig Saul or David Rowe. They both gabble at twenty words to the dozen. Just like playing an old record at double speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TonyMac 720 Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) We spent an entertaining few hours in the company of Dave Lanning at his Parkstone, Dorset home last week. The full interview will appear in the next issues of both Backtrack and Classic Speedway mags. As usual, Dave was as forthright as ever and has plenty of illuminating things to say about the sport, past and present, and his opinion of sports commentary also make interesting reading. Meantime, what are your most memorable/favourite 'Lanningisms' from his days with World of Sport... Edited September 7, 2014 by tmc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Panda 366 Posted September 7, 2014 Not sure how a presenter can slow down a meeting?? Its not as if they have control of the "2-minute button"!! Poole's Centre Green presenter Nigel Leahy also comes from a Cycle Speedway background and is highly professional (imo), working well with the DJ up in the control box which is not the ref's box!! Yes he occasionally makes the odd mistake - doesn't everyone - but is usually well researched and up to date with all recent results and rider performances!! Also He doesn't feel that he has to shout into the mic!! We notice the considerable difference when Nigel is away and we get Swindon's Clive Fisher as a stand-in!!! The only problem with Poole is the PA system.............its just as bad as it was 25 years ago............ RP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
