Team or club, my point is valid. Which is the better attended? Which has the biggest turnover? Which makes the most profit? Which is the more successful at the highest level? Which is the more attractive to riders? Which pays better? I’m posting this purely to fish, as I know the Poole fans will still try and argue against the obvious!

Vinnie Foord - is he too dangerous?
BackInTheDHSS replied to BackInTheDHSS's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
This has to be a parody account, surely? A rider's perspective doesn't change because you're looking at it from a different angle! 😆 -

Have you recently retired or something? -

One of the most ignorant responses I've ever read. There's a bit difference between entertaining, and existing just to entertain. You understand the difference, right? -

I find your lack of concern for rider welfare vile. Do they just exist to entertain you? I find that attitude abhorrent. -

If you can't tell the difference between Jason Garrad riding around and falling off on his own, and Vinnie Foord riding around and dangerously taking off an opposing rider(s) because he doesn't have the skill to control his speed - then I'm not sure your opinion is worth listening to. Sorry. -
Riders who left us too soon.🙁

True, but no harm in remembering some of those that we've seen and sadly miss. The sheer size of that list is shocking by the way. -

I've already answered that question. And a lot of people seem fixated on just the two crashes at Poole... what about all the other wrecked air fences from other meetings? -

Yes, but it's something Vinnie struggled with. -

It's not strange, and I didn't say that anyway. However, some non-riders (most Poole fans, it seems) don't recognise the danger, and just enjoy the 'entertainment'. It's not rocket science. -

I bet his thoughts change once he has shared the track with him - although, as I’ve said before, hopefully he’s turned a corner now. And remind me, your experience of sharing a race track with dangerous riders is what exactly? Getting hit by shale from the terraces doesn’t count. I’ve had personal experience of it, so apologies if 1) it bothers me a little more than you, and 2) I don’t take what you think seriously. -
I didn't stop going after him. I made my point about how dangerous he is, and there isn't anything else to say. He rode far more sensibly at Oxford, which I stated so at the time, so hopefully he's listening to some sage advice. Many others agreed he's too dangerous (and many others didn't), hence the eight pages on the thread. So far you've just buried your head in the sand about his riding style and offered nothing constructive - which I'm guessing is because you're a Poole fan.

Being from Paisley, you're probably more acclimatised to danger than us soft people from Oxford.

What does it say, exactly?

Sorry, by main body of the team I meant not a rising star. Poor choice of words.

Let’s see if his ‘not planning a return’ philosophy holds up if he gets a call and is offered a full season in the UK. I can understand him not wanting to do it if he gets a call mid-season, but it would be hard to say no if he’s in from the start.
