Swc Event 1 King's Lynn 26/07/14
Gavan replied to Bagpuss's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
You won't hear anything from Starmsn and the cronies who claimed nobody could do better than Middlo. As we all said its not just the pool of riders it's how you get the best out if them. Last year we at Lynn we had Cook and Kennett who don't go well there. This year a proper manager picks the correct riders and knows how to get the best out of them. Nobody can tell me Stead and King have improved in the last 12 months just we now have a boss who knows what he is doing, lets be honest Starman isn't a true gb fan as hasn't commented on any thread -
Swc Event 1 King's Lynn 26/07/14
Gavan replied to Bagpuss's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Well what a cracking result for the boys! Special praise must go to Rosco. Knew how to pick a decent side i.e the best 4 available and more importantly knew how to motivate them and get them up for it. What a difference 12 months makes from having Old mother hen Muddlo picking poor riders and a complete lack of motivation. Can't see Starman and the other Poole fans on here who said NOBODY could do any better with the pool of riders we have! Erm wrong! We are on the final and with Middlo we couldn't beat the yanks or Latvia! People moaning bout the track need to understand in a lot of races there was only 2 riders who could win it therefore you weren't going to get class racing. Have the final at Lynn with 4 top sides and the racing would be better. Darcy tonight made me realise that he is still the brat he always had been absolutly pathetic! Needs to look at Holder and Tai and there attitude -

Dear or dear Darcy has a poor night and then whacks a camera, when will he learn to grow up! -
Swc Event 1 King's Lynn 26/07/14
Gavan replied to Bagpuss's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
This is why you pick the BEST 4 available for the World Cup not just the kids. As I said already in the thread Stead will more than justify his inclusion. Awaiting to hear lots of humble pie! Rosco proving he knows how to pick the best 4 riders unlike Middlo last year -

Edinburgh V Berwick (ko-cup-2nd Leg) 25/7/14 @ 7.30pm
Gavan replied to Mr Blobby's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
yes it was his 3 points that made the difference jeez. The trouble is here you can count on one hand the cockiness of the Edinburgh. True speedway fans dont mock and jest at other clubs yet can still enjoy thier side. Unfortunatly the same select few are turning neutrals against the side -

Gavan replied to Bagpuss's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
and the paranoia kicks in! If you think Kennett was a good choice or that Bridger and Barker were right for the race off then you are way off the mark. but no you are right its anti poole lol would that be the Schlein that like Nicholls has 'retired' from internationals? Facts first please lo he totally deserved the flak! Cook wasnt dropped for Kennett! -

Gavan replied to Bagpuss's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Middlo was tactically inept we know that, and he picked Kennett for christs sake! He picked Cook who didnt do the business at Lynn, Rosco noted Cook isnt great at Lynn and went for a 'horses for courses' policy. Granted i wouldnt have had Stead but definatly not Cook at Lynn. No one is moaning about Cook not riding because it is the correct choice -
Tai Woffinden's Views On Single Night Racing In Uk
Gavan replied to clambo71's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
not a speedway fan then are you. My club is Ipswich and ive watched the greats and the not so greats. We have riders like Gino that are great entertainment and value for money, and i admit our track isnt the greatest but i see as much good racing as i do poor. Back when we had the all dominating side of Gollob Rickardsson Louis and Nicholls we won most meetings easy so what is more value for money? Nothing to do with high horses but your attitude is part of the reason the attendances are so low. great atmosphere usuallly poor racing. no mate the real problam is people who think the top boys always equals better racing so dont go anymore -

Gavan replied to clambo71's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
why? blinkered view on your sport then or your club. Ive watched Ipswich win titles in the 80's and 90's ive seen the true greats and legends pull on a witches jacket. Sanders, Cook, Sigalos, Rickardsson, Gollob, Loram, Louis,Nicholls, Clouting and as amazing as those days were i love my sport love my club so i go as much as possible with nothing to cheer about for this millenium. Im happy to see my club run and ive seen some cracking meetings at Premier level. Its people like you who dont support their club that mean the sport is dying. -
Witches V Rebels Pl 24-7-14 @ 7-30pm
Gavan replied to Super Blue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I think we can win this one. According to Jonny Adam was gating really well at Wolves and showed some sparkle and hopefully Cam's heat 14 win last week gives him a boost and some confidence. Surely Rohan and Gino cant have as poor as meetings last week. Witches by 10 but looking forward to Worrall and Morris as apparantly there was an altercation at Belle Vue on Monday -
Peterborough V Edinburgh 20/7/14 5pm
Gavan replied to Bagpuss's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
really? you dont read a lot of posts on this forum then! try the Poole threads i called someone a numpty on here once and got banned its quite sad but there a re a lot of people who can dish it out but not take it back. I also told someone to grow up a bit and if your offended by that its a bit sad. Settings called me an idiot. doesnt bother me but why do it? Then again if it was a Poole thread someone would have gone to the mods by now lol -
Peterborough V Edinburgh 20/7/14 5pm
Gavan replied to Bagpuss's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Are you there Settings? Just waiting for you to discuss with fromafar and Gordon Bennett who also think that Cooks career has stalled a bit this season and might never make a gp rider? These are called opinions mate. Even Edinburgh fans who dont agree like Dale Diver and The Scotsman know how to actually answer back with a reasonable debate and discussion without resorting to insults like you did. -

well said that man! Just in case you didn't realise Settings, this is how a true fan who can listen to my opinion, comes back with an answer, it's called a discussion -
Peterborough V Edinburgh 20/7/14 5pm
Gavan replied to Bagpuss's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
jeez man give it a rest! im not saying i know best at all!!! just trying to say my opinion is as valid as anyones. you dont have to agree with it of course you dont and im not asking you to. Cook may or may not improve. Nobody knows but to just simply disregard my opinion because i dont have any facts is blinkered. You cant have facts about something that may or may not happen. Its like these people who argue over wether Darcy will or will not be world champion one day. You dont know! we can only form an opinion absolutly no denying that. -
Peterborough V Edinburgh 20/7/14 5pm
Gavan replied to Bagpuss's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
well that statement isnt true at all. who sold the more records The Beatles or The Stones? The Beatles who do i think are better? The Stones Facts dont make opinions! And i did actually give my reasons why i dont think Cook will improve. You are correct what you say about Tai. Even Mark Loram didnt really get any better until the 1999 season. If you think my opinion that Cook wont improve anymore makes me look an idiot to the masses then im afraid you have a very blinkered view on all matters. If Cook averages like a number one in the elite league and quits Edinburgh and looks like one day he may make the gp's then i will admit i was wrong. you also use the phrase 'logical masses' so in your head the sensible people will think Cook will improve more and those that dont agree with you are idiots! pretty daft reasoning -
Peterborough V Edinburgh 20/7/14 5pm
Gavan replied to Bagpuss's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
jesus! why do i need to have a reason as to why i think he has? its called an opinion! At premier level he is dominant no question. At elite league level has his performances got any better? I would say no and yes i realise he is riding at number 5 but by now you would like to think he would be beating the other number 5's - Janowski, Harris, Pawlicki, Michelsen, Bech, to mane a few. He came 2nd in the British final 2 places better than last year but no Nicholls in the final and got past Barker due to a mistake. He did nothing at Cardif to show that he could be close to gp level. And at World Cup level he made the top 4 this year and hasnt this time. So i believe his career has stalled a bit and he hasnt made the next step forward. If he is going to get any better he needs to leave the comforts of the Premier and try abroad. Funny how he hasnt been approached by Poland or Sweden? Its nothing against Cook but i dont see him getting any better than he is now. I dont have to justify my opinion. If thats the case then could you please put forward how you think he will be in the gp's anytime soon? -
Bset track is open to huge debate. People think that fast means best? Not always the case, ive seen some shocking meetings at Peterborough and Lynn and Sheffield for example. I know for 100% fact that Mark Loram hated riding Peterboroughs track but loved Pooles back in the day and Lakesides as well. A lot is down to preperation as we know now that Pooles track is garbage compared to what it was in the late 90's early 00's

that quite possibly is the worst smear i could aim at you apologies. my brain is fine just feel Cook has reached his potential ok so your point is? my opinion is Cook has reached his level -

Gavan replied to Bagpuss's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
oh sorry does my opinion not agree with yours about Cook!! sorry my mistake i bow to your vastly superior knowledge. Got to love a fan like you who cant actually debate and discuss opinions if they differ, you just resort to pathetic responses -
S W C - Who Will Be Picked For Uk
Gavan replied to michaelcroucher's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
you are correct in saying they wouldnt get in Denmarks second squad but they are not mediocre they are decent riders just not up to the quality of a world cup, and the fact that at least 2 of them will be used shows the strength in depth of this country is the problem, no need to slag off riders -

Gavan replied to Bagpuss's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
you sound like a Poole fan. Its not jealousy get a grip of yourself. You come on the threads and act smug and take the rise out of the other clubs and their fans because you are on an unbeaten run. You get beat and people give it back and then you cant take it. Grow up a bit man Do i believe Cook is a bit of an idiot..............yes Do i believe Cook is a good rider..............yes Do i believe Cook will not get any better than he is now ...............yes My opinion you dont have to agree. He is a top class premier league rider and does ok in the elite league. Lets face it we are poor as a nation at the moment and he isnt in the top 4 for the world cup. He got hugely found out at Cardiff. I just think he has reached his level -

yes but lets face facts. good rider he is but he is a bit of an idiot. premier league number 1 who wont get any better -
Tai Woffinden's Views On Single Night Racing In Uk
Gavan replied to clambo71's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I really dont get why people on here do not realise that one race night WONT AND CANT happen. It would not be viable to a lot of clubs and it gives no guarantee whatsoever that the top boys would come back. It would be a massive risk to try and it could kill the sport completly. The only way forward is a squad system and it doesnt need to be evry rider catered for. The top 2 in the averages in each team could be filled by 2 riders each. i.e the riders at 1 and 5. For example Poole could have Ward/Holder and say Lindback/Pawlicki This means that the top boys and the management could get together to ensure who rides where (horses for courses) thus stopping burn out of the top boys -
