god help this thread if poole wins by 1 point!!!!!!

is it any different to "cheating" with an off side goal?....if the start marshall or ref don't stop it, too bad....that's 2 people not doing their job

was peter Collins putting riders at risk when he completed a race with a broken handlebar? or when riders lose a steel shoe?

if your the most hated club, you doing something right!

what would tai gain from riding in a weak league? a sportsman at top of his game need top opponents, its easy to stagnate against lesser opposition. he put it on the line with his superb 21pt max in the world cup (I take you didn't approve)?..you not happy hes leading the world title? you not happy he will be in the running for the FIM awards? you not happy hes getting coverage in larger newspapers? if he comes back to Wolverhampton would you stop slagging him off?

if they don't look good on a tricky track, they simly not "the best in the world" then!!

both magic and holder both on the edge of gp qualification, don't write aces off yet

totally agree, these start marshalls are pointless at times!!

Swindon will surely struggle to sign riders with no guarantees of a stadium

don't let that idiot ruin this thread as well

just ignore him sid

may well be proved wrong, think its a mistake watt at no2...belle vue by 8

more idiotic comments....you live in the modern world???? everyone has tattoos representing all different things. this tai bashing just a cheap shot..having the worlds best when speedway is in the gutter, people like you just like to drag it down even further!......pathetic

if only Britain could build a torun!! then you could call it a national stadium...awesome place!

Lawrence had plenty of news coverage locally, and had a large sum raised as well

without getting technical, betts, turner and Richard hellsen for example were decent (not the best by far) trio, in 70s, but all teams had far decent trios than today, wouldn't dream of watching national league (of the day) riders..Collins, Morton, sjosten magical times, prob why im with TWK on this subject

and most had 3 heat leaders of quality!!

how about this scenario, Pooles final domestic meeting before the play offs is an away game to Leicester..had this been an old style match, Leicester would of benefitted by poole fans going to watch them crowned champions (Leicester would profit)...in 2015, poole fans would clearly give that a miss, as they would wait for the play off to travel.....so you don't get MORE fans going, just spread over, with Leicester losing out!!

but speedway is clearly losing the older generation, and at the same time are NOT attracting knew ones, just because oldies don't like the play offs, its probably because it worked!....

those 3 tv stations had 20 million viewers watching Morecambe and wise compared to around 4 million now..statistics

people love dissing the hey days, but they will never witness what we did. no play offs, big crowds, strong teams, yet they appear content with "rider sharing", and watered down league

natural talent will come through the natural way (like tai), 99% are, and always will be second strings

to the question of this thread...yes

I thought so...had it been me receiving that email, I personally would of gave more than a 2 line response, but I also see tsunami reply as well..."bring him along and I will arrange a foto with a rider" I personally would of organised, bearing in mind its a rare request, and no-one else would of known. I think a personal touch goes a long way..

shame theres no incentive to end as high as possible with financial gain like the footy league, wouldn't get teams see out the season that way
