Belle Vue v Swindon - Monday 20 May
Sidney the robin replied to Grachan's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Did Crumpy get a few laps in Aces ? how did he go.? -
The results yesterday for me was not important but yesterday was another kick in the teeth for speedway in the U.K.I didn't go to Poole but the track there has been a disgrace for along time also Swindon last night i have to say it looked dangerous to ride.Both club's need to address there problems otherwise even some of the diehards will drift away and never comeback on a regular basis.At Swindon the racing did improve later on and there was a couple of half decent races maybe if they could have a behind closed doors practice that would help bed the track down again.Jensen what a amazing performance he gave everything attacked the track and got his just rewards also i believe he will score useful points on some of the away tracks as well.Jensen is a rider who has been mentioned on the forum in some people's team planning i remember Gavan mentioning him as a potential Ipswich signing not going overboard but he looks a real bonus of a signing.Poole even without Kurtz look really solid Holder looked classy and all in all happy that Swindon collected a point over the two meeting's looking at it realistically Poole missed a huge trick yesterday.

Belle Vue v King’s Lynn 16/05/19

Great stuff i am so glad Chris feels like that, it would be great if he could don his leathers again and have a few laps around the place he helped create.The track now would of suited Chris down to the ground he is one of the best riders that i have ever seen who could come from the back a real racer nobody in front of him was ever safe his move on Carter in the 1983 NLRC was awesome. -
Kemp wont drop his Kent commitments.

Totally agree Mort should be applauded he was treated terribly and i would love to see him back involved in speedway again a great guy to. -
But he was decent for Rye House in 2017, and scored paid six that year he made fine progress before he was shafted.This track now will suit him more and he is a decent gater look i am under no illusions it is a tough ask but he can score points welcome Ellis.

Did Rowe have a really good home meeting in the challenge against Poole ? great to see the lad progressing nicely. -
Leicester v BV Colts May 18th
Sidney the robin replied to Gunner85's topic in National League Speedway
I would have a one off final back like a shot, the series for me is not the be all and end all i much prefer league racing..The one thing that never really changes with the series it is still a relatively closed shop. -
Pickering has talent and he will be picked up by someone.
-
I will stick with it Gustix ,some of the rules now in place are very puzzling.Bugger worrying about these trivial rules lets try to get British speedway back on track with the entertainment aspect being the number one priority.
-
God why do all these rules exist?? Pickering would of been my choice but i beleive he is to high.

KL vs Poole Supporters cup Mon 20/05/19
Sidney the robin replied to LisaColette's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Speedway is the only sport that i know in which the supporter / customer is not aloud to have a view and be entitled to moan.Why are some people in denial ? my club have had endless problems over the past few years certainly on the entertainment front.Thing's are still not perfect but i can see the club have listened and are really trying and i believe most of our fans know that and respect it.There are other club's that seem tobe immune to criticism and are just going on doing it there way or no way a dangerous game to play.There are now alot of the older reliable fan who love the sport now having there patience stretched to the limit dangerous times for our sport. -
Did you not realise the top five were not available at Belle Vue? a stupid post not thought out at all.Yes we are struggling at reserve but the encouraging thing for me was we only scored two from reserve last night and we had no Tobiasz but we still scored 41 pts.This against a strong Belle Vue side that is improving week on week and with Bewley getting more race fitness and maybe a potential change of Wells, Belle Vue will be in the mix come the end of the season .So as a Swindon fan i won't be panicking just jet.
-
I wouldn't say struggling i would say he is learning, to even cope in the top five in the Championship Drew has made huge strides.He is still learning the tracks set ups ( etc) he is a huge talent and also comes across as a real level headed young man.
-
I think Zach has started other years slowly and improved, i think there is a good rider in there and he can contribute more.With that ruling you cant bring in a Pickering, Stewart, (ect riders who can improve a shame but that is the rule.
-
That is a mega point about Becker, i still believe in real firepower at the top and with Adam he is a real plus he can also keep on improving.The reserves are a real worry and scoring 2 between them like last night wont be winning any league title's anytime soon.
-
I did hear Steve that his Grandad was not keen to do so also did a rule stop him from doing Prem/ Championship.? I would love him to gets some outing's mainly for experience last year the unlucky young Brennan showed potential i am sure Drew would gain one hell of alot.
-
I am not so down coombdog with no Tobi i was not expecting anything at Belle Vue.Very disappointed we didnt get a point we probably deserved it.We have to aim to keep it close at Poole and beat them at home alot depends on Tobi really we shall see.Adam this year again has stepped up and we need to hang on in there and hope the reserves improve, how long will Rosco wait who knows.From what i have seen James gating is not good anough for this level he races hard but often has to much to make up fingers crossed he can improve.
-
He wont do three league's love to see it happen though .
-
This two point rule is a killer Crazy how can we make a change at reserve?.I believe we will make the playoffs but we need the reserves chipping in have you any suggestions Crazy for a two pointer who could improve us.!!

What about Danyon Hume had injury problems but he is a racer.

Ivan Mauger. Belle Vue. 1969/72

I loved watching the Russians and the Poles the thing that always stayed with me was looking in the pits and the Russians looking like they all had bikes that were track spares .They were always great value though great days indeed. -

I did see Plechanov ride once at Swindon when he rode for Russia cant remember it though.I did notice Steve that Jerzy S rode the once at Oxford!!!! also he rode at Belle Vue and Halifax in 1971 i think was he deserved winner in 73 Steve what is your take.? Also Steve did you see Jim Airey ride in the 1973 series.??
