  1. We get it Phil you don't like Auty but at times in racing you have to be quick anough to make a move Scott last night obviously was not quick anough his 1 point showed that.
  2. Sorry Skodaman meant Connor should still have a place at Ipswich replaced by a journeyman as in Garcia.
  3. If Swindon beat Poole and Belle Vue at home will that be anough or is it out of our hands.?
  4. With Auty you give him a track you can race on and he will entertain and score points Belle Vue a superb track is perfect for him.Was really hoping maybe Tungate and Auty could settle there differences as that to me is the reason he did not get a team place from the beginning.Saying that halfway through the season he did have a high converted 6.03 average.Mountain you mentioned really has progressed and is a nice tidy little rider he should have a Championship place as well hope his upward curve continues.
  5. How many clubs have had two World Champions in there history the great Briggo and Doyley two of my all time favourites.It was a great chance to maybe generate more on the gate with Doyley that could of been special but the truth is we just could not afford him.Also I don't know if this is true or not Somerset have they got a sponsor in to cover Jason's wages? by the way he deserves every penny and he was on the gas tonight a full house.
  6. British speedway could certainly do with a few more Bob Dugard's you have to admire what he achieved at Eastbourne.
  7. On the brilliant Wimbledon DVD there is some great footage of Ronnie beating Ivan in one race it looked like he had eyes in the back of his head.He countered every Ivan move and his track craft was second to none he is certainly in a top 20 of the greatest ever speedway riders.
  8. The same shiney bog paper that was there in 1970? at the Abbey then there was a cheap/expensive side you could get over to the starting gate usually in heat 10.
  9. I hope Drew has a good meeting but don't expect to much to soon his main objective is to go out and enjoy it.He is a real prospect and can't wait to keep an eye on his development.This league is very tough and with the way the teams are structured often having good reserves it just shows how Mountain/Hume(before injury) were punching above there weight other team members let them down.Apart from Bacon who has had a great season Mountain/Hume and now Kemp will do as well as the other two pointers.
  10. I think that was one of Jim Airey's last ever appearances in Britain i think he might have rode at Wimbledon and Newport as well a great rider no doubt.
  11. Swindon 30th June 1973. New Zealand v Sweden was certainly one of my favourite meeting's i ever went to.Legends Mauger,Briggs,Moore were there the brilliant Michanek and both the Jansson's and Sjosten.I can remember the exciting Christer Lofqvist getting a paid max and breaking the track record in heat 1 great days.
  12. With the fish and chips they are very nice there and Scarborough.
  13. RIP Ronnie total LEGEND and gentleman to.
  14. A pathetic post from a bloke who just about has the guts to put his leg over a pushbike.Unsensetive i have total respect for every rider of every level who puts his life on the line to try to entertain us i am sad that you find taking the piss out of Jack pleasurable.
  15. They were great mates for years but Crump/Sanders had a couple of years of tough riding against each other.Crump was involved in a infamous incident with Billy in the Australian Final Crump was controversially excluded in one race scored 12 got eliminated. Glyn Taylor with Billy qualified for the Overseas Final at Belle Vue instead both Crump/Sanders were tough and classy riders.
  16. Would you want to mess with Jack ? i only see him ride once for Reading his reputation was not great but he was really good with the young riders advice ( etc) RIP.
  17. Steve Gresham,Gary Middleton were two that spring to mind that had several clashes with different riders over the years.Steve was a very good rider and i met him once and what a really nice bloke he was nothing like his reputation.Middleton what a character he was i would say he should of pushed on and been world class he was good enough.The clashes i remember are Olsen v Ashby at Coventry Olsen fenced him) Kilby v Mauger at the Abbey Ivan,s fault he needed to be rushed out of the stadium.Gresham and Tony Briggs clash at Reading Gresh got the blame but Milan Spinka was at fault.
  18. This club is portraying everything i hate about speedway musical chairs how can any supporter relate to a set of riders when there are endless changes.In my lifetime Swindon have finished bottom three/four times that's life get on with you pick a 1/7 that should be it for the season unless there is a GUENUINE reason.The rulebook needs ripping up go back to the basics again this winning at all costs is putting another nail in the coffin of British speedway the biggest gripe i have is the entertainment level and it is certainly not worth 17 pound an evening ( the star of the show the tractor).
  19. Funny thing is Bryce i have a few pictures of Kenny /Bruce when they did get on one when Kenny rode Bruce in the motor cycle news Golden Helmet at the Shay.
  20. Who? do you just go on Wimborne Rd appearances? you must do he is knocking on the door now with Lambert and Jack Holder is another who is not far behind.Holder and Fricke are quite a way in front of Kurtz now and if Fricke can get consistently he will make the series the ability is there for all of us ( except you) to see.
  21. Iversen is slowly getting there and i believe he can still be a top eight rider he still wants it and can still mix it at the top level.
  22. Barry Thomas. Kelvin Mullarkey, Andrew Silver, Bruce Forrester,Brian Foote ,Les Ott, Colin Gooddy,Malcolm Ballard, Shawn McConnell Lee Complin.
  23. Do you think he has a future at Lynn? has he shown anough to get another prolonged run.
  24. Andersen i just dont see anything in him there is not that much difference in the league's now and also he knows none of the Championship tracks.To replace Bjerre is madness i will be amazed if Andersen averages 5.50.
  25. I dont think he will be back at Poole he should stay at Somerset depends i suppose on the format of the league. A big ask to better what Chris has achieved but will soon along with Fricke racing in the GP series.
