Gavan

Big heat 15 we need minimum 3-3

Got to laugh at the usual Poole fan so so so jealous that his team missed out on the final and then has the total audacity to complain about a team strengthening up in time for the play offs!! It's hilarious how many times Poole have changed their teams over the years for the play offs and we are told it's because 'Ford is a wonderful promotor and the others never act'. Well guess what Wolves bought in the World Champion on a legitimate average so no wrong doing at all. Unlike Poole who replaced 'a long term' injury victim with a mercenary in Lindback (10 years since he rode here?) who is on the world top ten on a totally false average. Poole tried a masterstroke and failed. What a great advert for our sport that second leg was and the banter with Woffy was just that. Used to love the old days when we would boo the opposition top rider all in good nature and it made for a good night with no morons overstepping the mark. I remember Ermolenko and Correy at Foxhall getting a 5-1 in the last heat and riding round on the stock car track standing up cupping their hand to their ears with loads of boos. All good fun. Oh and Woffy called some fans idiots which said Poole fan can't stand his attitude but defended everything Darcy Ward did....laughable

Cant agree with that at all. Tai was hot favourite to beat both Worralls. Lindgren was up against Cook who was still on a high after beating Woffinden, and a dangerous opponent in Fricke As it panned out Heat 10 would have scored more points but that's hindsight. I would say the huge majority would have given the tac ride to the World Champion against a reserve and a rider who was reserve. Good to see the sportsmanship after the race form Tai as well making a point of shaking both their hands

Cant really believe people are up in arms about Tai. He called a small section of fans idiots He got abuse about his late father............scum is probably to nice a word to direct at someone like that. So apparantly Tai should act differently as a World Champion ...ah bless..........all he did was react to what was happening and apart from a few idiots thats totally fine. Someone has the cheek to say Hancock is a role model, well if clothes lining someone of their bike is an example then thats a tad strange. Good on Woffinden on giving some back and the Belle Vue fans who enjoyed the banter. Personally i wanted Belle Vue to win as they topped the table but congratulations to the Wolves And what an atmosphere........the best there has ever been in a grand final for sure

but you were happy enough to have Darcy Ward in your team?

you have over reacted. Tai said 'some idiots' not called all the fans that. They booed him from the start chanted 'who are ya' at him when he got beat and some were giving him both the 'w' and 'v' signs. In my eyes nothing wrong in having a pantomime villain though some of it went to far. So when Tai won the league he was quite right to give some back and I bet 99% of the Belle Vue fans expected it as well and took it as it was meant. Happens in football all the time with players giving it back to the crowd and did you see Rory in the Ryder Cup. Obviously you don't like a bit of atmosphere at the track.

what straws?? I said that when Poole make changes its totally fine as 'Ford is a promoter who isn't afraid to make changes' yet when Wolves do it its not acceptable to some Poole fans. Pirates of Poole said he wasn't one moaning about Tai so I have no idea what you mean by clutching at straws

Would be great for Tai to ride over here, look at what he has brought the last month or two, talking points and lots of media coverage which the sport desperately needs. Thing is no top GP star (Doyle apart) will be here next season. Holder, Zagar, Iversen all unlikely to be here

Tai used the phrase 'some idiots' not all fans. What ever happened to good old bit of stick from the crowds to the riders and vice versa?? Belle Vue fans gave Woffy pelters and they were right to when their riders beat the World Champion like the Cook/Zagar 5-1 or when Richie Worrall did. So when Tai sealed the league he was quite right to give it back.........some people on here will find any reason to have a pop at Tai. Regards Lindgren he does tend to go a bit over the top lately. He was very hard on Cook and if you watch heat 15 he looked for Fricke and literally just left him no room on the back straight. Their was an amazing atmosphere there tonight what with the Woffy stuff and Cook and Lindgren plus some great racing. Its what the sport needs and what it so badly misses at times. Yet still people moan about Tai this and Tai that..............enjoy the spectacle instead of looking for anything to moan about

Well said Kelvin Tatum 'the Poole team change their team to win titles'. Spot on and this year someone else did it yet some Poole fans moan totally priceless sore losers.

Well done Wolves and unlucky for Belle Vue just falling at the last moment. The Belle Vue fans were giving it to Tai all night so what's wrong with giving some back?? That's what used to make the sport entertaining and it doesn't happen enough anymore. We constantly get told how great Matt Ford is and how great he is at making changes when needed and how other promoters could learn from him....well guess what Wolves made a great change this season. How bitter and jealous some people are

Usual question: Will you be gracing us with your presence (and presents) on 14th Gavan? The Massif will be one man down and could do with you swelling Massif End. Yes im going and bringing my mate along who has only ever seen 1 meeting before ............which was Risagers testimonial in arctic conditions!! I have yet to meet the 'massif' where abouts are you and i may well show my face!! I normally stand just to the right of the main stand on the entry to the the first bend but from time to time move about but its going to be freezing down the back straight!

I dont think Middlo is a poor manager tactics wise but he wasnt good for Team GB and his biggest issue is is social media stuff. He was gracious in defeat last week i have to say. Hi Lisa glad your pleased. Might not be about to long who knows. Anyways have to say Newman was sensational in the play offs but where has that been all season?

Ive took that out now. I will try to be more objective if i can

We need our 3 heat leaders to come up with 30 minimum between them. King only had 1 ride their but won it Nico and Ben both struggled there though Morten did ok as did James I would like to think Joe will like the track but so will Branford. We need to keep this to within 12 in my opinion

I for one am looking forward to the second leg as i believe Belle Vue are more than capable of getting a lot of points back early on. Maybe even leading 13-5 or 14-4 after 3 heats then its game on. Tai will be much stronger around Belle Vue than Wolves so they need to stop him scoring somehow. Thorsell and Howarth outscored their opposite numbers 21 points to 1 last night. At the NSS that will be a completely different outcome and i would expect Zagar and Nicholls to contribute more than 11 as well. Im neutral so not worried who wins but this is by no means over and could end up being a classic. Oh and Wolves last night only saw 1 rider wobbling which was Jacobs, struggling to see who else was but Speedway shouldnt just be about big fast tracks it takes all sorts. Mark Loram and Darcy Ward are 2 riders who could ride anything big or small just comes down to ability and application, something that Holder lacked last week, giving up before he started. And some seem to forget that Belle Vue had won at Wolves so hardly huge home track advantage. What is good to see is how gracious the Belle Vue fans are in defeat, no moaning or finding excuses just accepting they were outrode but yet hopeful of still pulling off the win so good to see, shame some other fans arent the same when they lose (foreverblue excepted)

you got your wish mate I'm leaving the forum. You feel the need to bully me, make personal insults about disability and my family and plaster private stuff on the forum. I don't need to deal with people like yourself so that's all from me. Enjoy

ok keep up your obviously struggling with that. I can afford to go ipswich if I want every week but I get in from work at half 6 and quite frankly I'm an hour from the track and would much rather see my children than race to speedway. The new plate is this month and this weekend we have a sale event. They want us to make appointments for this so we all had to stay until 8pm. If that's to difficult to understand I'm sorry. I'm so glad that my private life and work life is of so much interest to you

dont sell second hand keep up

i bully Starman lol hardly I call him an idiot that's all and on this thread he has made some good points. Anyways your trying to bully me off the forum by keep posting personal stuff and saying I'm disabled and dropped on my head at birth. Very classy. When your next in the UK come round and see my nice detached house plenty of room and worth a fair bit. This car sales lark doesn't half pay well bless you we left work at 8pm thanks. You want to keep bullying and abusing me get your facts straight sweetheart

new cars do keep up

no but I almost died from strep pneumonia back in 2013 and spent 3 weeks in a coma which was lovely for my children to come and visit me all tubed up not knowing if I was going to make it. Perhaps you could ask my kids if they like the idea of me being handicapped

yeah go for it mate have fun. Love how everyone is more concerned about my life than anything else I'm honestly touched

you have made 2 posts on this thread just to have a pop at me and haven't mentioned speedway once very classy. Motability is selling the cars to disabled people and each dealership has one or two people qualified to. That's on top of all the other cars and it pays more as well so it's bloody good thanks! Now onto Lindback

ah amazing you say you worked in the industry yet have no idea how it works! Mats come with every car and change the stereo lol what's that about! We close at 6 and we stay late in September for a sale event as it's the new plate but hey let's chat about the car trade rather than Lindback!
