  1. We had Hamill 06 and 07 those weren't my favourite years. As for having H&H as a spearhead I would have struggled to have any passion, CVS and PA took a calculated risk in 06 07 and it semi paid off I guess, but to have both from a Wolves turnstiles perspective it could have been Monmore suicide. There are rivalries and then there are rivalries and hammering spoons was always my favourite followed by Coventry then the rest.... It didn't seem the same wateching H&H at Brandon, so for me we not only lost the Cradley/Wolves but also took the edge off Cov/Wolves for a few years. Hancock is a great Ambassador for speedway and 50 odd yrs old a rarity still there or there thereabout with guys less than half his age at top level, and he is a genuine decent bloke....... but he was a huge gating tart and massive roller (when you were allowed) and is still a Spoon. I will still pay to stand on almost empty terraces at the few tracks Wolves go to in 2020 look around get a coffee and enjoy the racing, but it won't be the same as eating a pork sandwich on the back straight of a packed Bomb site arguing the toss with spoon rivals, and that's just how it is. A 1991 gem from Hancock introducing the Wolves faithful to the bird )))))
  2. Pleasantly surprised we kept Nick, he looked a steal on his 2019 start average and looks a good bet this year, I thought Swindon may have tried to get him back, withstanding injury i think he will regain full form in 2020. Had visions of him doing the same as Cam Heeps having a storming year after just one with us for Ipswich.
  3. I would never boycott my team over an individual rider 2006/7 paying to watch Hamill the spoon week in week out was a bit tricky, but your team is the bigger picture.
  4. Hmmm yeah a regular since 1971 just pushing 50 years, and yes I was at Cov the night of NP/Carter spat
  5. I would have loved Nicki to have stayed at Monmore rather than the years of loan fees we got for all his time spent at Arlington, fantastic signing for the tigers, ok so he isn't going to get 15 a meeting but will certainly add plenty to the Sheffield coffers. Love or loathe him he is a pretty big draw, I'll look forward to visiting as often as possible. CVS & Adams should have kept him at Monmore for years but hmmm seem to like our World champions riding elsewhere, where is Tai this year. Bravo Steady and welcome back to top flight Sheffield and NP.
  6. Tatum constantly saying 'bouncing back' has to be tongue in cheek
  7. So Tatum says the lack of overtaking is "slightly disappointing" for the fans!
  8. Sorry Lisa You are right i was watching it on updates and they had it as 5, but now corrected )
  9. we say 5 riders well Thorsell scored 3 and only beat wells once, RR for Schlien got just 2 after he had scored 4 in two rides, if was one of those nights
  10. Down to 5 and had to use Morris in Ht 15, the guy had only scored 5 all night, well done patched up and withered wolves
  11. Well done Freddie, finally Cradley Walla Pearson couldnt blame him for something, that tool usually takes any excuse to have a dig!!
  12. Kelvin getting all gangsta calling magic a 'homeboy'
  13. This is all very well so how do you explain to a new fan or someone just looking in why Polish teams get priority over FIM events, of course the cash helps
  14. I am just glad I'm a speedway fan as we all are here, but even happier that I don't have to explain why only half the field bother with official qualifying to a casual follower, this has to be a new low ebb!
  15. So this final of the team event for pairs might not even be the final, and could be another individual run off if it's a 3 3 huh?
  16. Oh it may have been but it surprised him and Janowski )
  17. Lol Emil accidently being passed a pit board as the trophy and celebrating )
  18. I think what maybe adds to this race is it wasn't his home track ridden week in week out knowing lines and kickboards etc, and to be fair not bad as he was last into the 1st corner, and Freddie and Miskowiak ain't slow.
  19. Yes Steve he has already scored more for Ipswich this year than in 16 meetings for Wolves last year! Sods law
  20. Beat me to it Star I logged in here just to see if anyone else noticed, seems it's blatant, maybe he is anchoring for Pearsons job )
  21. Well the bookies predict Poole as red hot favourites at 9-4. They have Ipswich as wooden spoon candidates at 20-1 I think this is the 11th year they have had Poole favs at season starts
  22. Tai might be the best I see maybe 10 to 15 times a week on television a year, but personally that puts him behind Collins, Loram, Lee etc who many of us watched weekly in the flesh.
