DC2 11,150 Posted August 7, 2017 No doubt Poole's mantra from the last ten years will be that success breeds success but the rest of us know that their constant fiddling, sharp practice, disloyalty to riders and hoarding of "assets" has been to the detriment of the sport. None of Belle Vue's fame was built on that! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingbee 510 Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) Why would Leicester be the biggest club in football based on the logic that has been put forward ..i already said why Poole are the biggest club in the last ten years ..what have they got in common with why people are saying Poole are the biggest club ...do Leicester get the biggest crowds in the UK like Poole ?do they have the biggest budget like Poole, do they have the biggest sponsors like Poole ? of course not ,so they have nothing in common .so as i said your bit about football makes no sense or logic.as for the time scale I only said they were biggest in the last ten years and your reply was that it was untrue .not one person has said they were the biggest club of all time at any stage . yes they did Gater1 which started all this Edited August 7, 2017 by kingbee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve0 5,517 Posted August 24, 2017 Joint record holders now for most successive wins so one more makes us the best team ever! Hmmm! Best team or most successful team? - definitely the latter and definitely NOT the former! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keef robin 551 Posted August 24, 2017 Joint record holders now for most successive wins so one more makes us the best team ever! What ever? Even better than the old Wembley, Wimbledon, Belle Vue, Cradley, Oxford, Coventry, Ipswich, Reading, Poole etc., teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keef robin 551 Posted August 24, 2017 Yep, that's us! Didn't Oxford go whole season unbeaten? What about Coventry 02.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RHayes 72 Posted August 24, 2017 Didn't Oxford go whole season unbeaten? What about Coventry 02.? Oxford and Coventry. Edinburgh and Somerset both did 20+ meeting unbeaten runs in 2014 and 2016. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keef robin 551 Posted August 24, 2017 Oxford and Coventry. Edinburgh and Somerset both did 20+ meeting unbeaten runs in 2014 and 2016. Did it include draws or successive wins? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted August 24, 2017 1972, Belle Vue, played 34, won 31, drawn 1, lost 2. I've no idea how many consecutive wins but I think that record beats 14 consecutive wins, never mind there being no comparison in the quality of the teams. I have a recollection that someone also bettered Belle Vue's record but I can't remember who or when it was. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
