mdmc82 2,878 Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) I can't say I blame him after the treatment he received, it seems very obvious to me the club is much the poorer without his presence. Are you talking about Sandhu or Nicholls? Will regards to Nicholls, Coventry could only fit in Harris or Nicholls so of course they had Harris. The two have a bit of tension when in a team together. Scott looked happy enough when he guested for us earlier this season and also when he came to Brandon with Belle Vue. He always gets a big reception from the bees fans (AJ & Zengi also popular with the fans) Edited September 16, 2015 by mdmc82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Jones 2,127 Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) Yes of course. Whatever it was must have been a couple of season's ago so no chance of me remembering, apart from the fact he and Bomber (allegedly) didn't get on. We are talking Scott Nicholls aren't we? No nothing to do with Scott, my memory is just as bad as yours but I haven't forgotten what happened. If you read this topic from the top you will see someone else has already tried to tempt me to make more comments.I will give you the same reply as I gave him, (it's already been done to death on this forum) OOps we crossed posts, I highlighted the part of your post I was commenting on Edited September 16, 2015 by Dave Jones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
van wolfswinkel 635 Posted September 16, 2015 If Swindon wasn't my local club quite like Kings Lynn as number 2. Poole and Coventry the closest, both about 70-miles away. Although as an ex-New Cross and Wimbledon fan, Lakeside would be the nearest to a London club, so they would be number 3 choice! Would like to see Belle Vue win it this year as unlikely Swindon will.

E I Addio 15,845 Posted September 16, 2015 Mine used to be Swindon and Wolves but Rosco has gradually turned me off Swindon, although I still like to watch them as a team. I always liked Wolves since PK and Freddie were at their best, and under Peter Adams management I thought they were a great team to watch. I still have some affection for them but they well and truly seem to have lost the plot these days. Goodness knows what's happened to them. There are some nice people down at Poole but Muddlo isn't one of them, so I like it when they are in town but wouldn't support them under the present set up. Surprisingly I have semi- supported Coventry for the play-offs this year, not that I think they will make it now because it's all sort of unravelled for them, but from day one of the season I thought it was an attractive looking side,always liked Hans and Bomber, Danny and Joonas are good blokes and I guess everyone likes Robbo even though he has passed his EL sell by date. Great bunch fans as well. Always enjoyed my trips to Brandon , but haven't been for a while as more often than not the track seemed to be rubbish. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

customhouseregular 1,651 Posted September 16, 2015 For a number of reasons I can not attend meetings. However, take away guests and r/r then half the riders left are d/up. So my first choice would not be EL at all...I would rather go to Sheffield and get variety. My second choice would be Scunthorpe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted September 16, 2015 Wolves are my second team. Having been brought up watching speedway at Hyde Road, with regular visits to the equally wide open spaces of Halifax, Sheffield and Bradford I first went to Monmore in the 1980's.I thought I had made a mistake and found the cycle speedway. However, I soon appreciated the different skills required to race on a tight circuit and realised that the quality of racing served up was usually good to watch, albeit not comparable to Hyde Road but nowhere in the UK is. Ever since I make a visit at least once every season,usually more and have a soft spot for the club. Unfortunately they seem to have lost their way over recent times and it is going to take drastic changes for them to be in play off contention next year.

GoFastTurnLeft 74 Posted September 16, 2015 My loyalty is to Poole only, but I enjoy watching racing a lot more when I'm rooting for someone so I'll usually pick someone, but I certainly wouldn't be able to pick for next season, as my choices will be largely based on the club's journey to the playoffs. For this year, if we don't make it, I'd like the winner to be Swindon. I know Darcy is a rider who's divided opinion. One person's lovable rogue is another person's selfish brat, but Swindon's fans put aside judgement and welcomed Darcy in and I know he enjoyed riding for them. I also think a big part of them getting to where they are is due to Darcy and his motivation, I'd like to see that carried all the way. If not Swindon, I'd go for Belle Vue over Coventry, but that's because as a Poole fan, I'd go for anyone over Coventry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So my first choice would not be EL at all...I would rather go to Sheffield and get variety. My second choice would be Scunthorpe. Is that the same Sheffield who, in their last home match had 2 guests plus one rider who doubles up with Coventry? They were riding against a side who were using 2 guests and R/R. Must be a different Sheffield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
customhouseregular 1,651 Posted September 17, 2015 I agree with you...it's hard for fans to actually see their proper team, wherever they watch their speedway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
