Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted December 11, 2018 James is a great signing for Swindon, did a solid job for Poole and will improve with the Robins under Doyley. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I thought he improved every time I saw him at Swindon in 2017 so hopefully that carries on in 19. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is not the point he is British and was pushed out, Jackobsen could be decent Nielsen did well but i am not a fan glad Zach got the nod over him at Swindon in 2019 Shanes was shabbily treated end of.

He is not bitter about it like myself did not agree with it then and feels the same now.This is one of the biggest problems we have in British speedway stupid rules no continuity and a win at all costs mentality.Around that period if you look back Ford had a nightmare bringing in the likes of Kennett, Lahti, Starke, Zengota, Worrall, ( ect) switching riders mostly out of desperation.

It has nothing to do with not being appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
