THE DEAN MACHINE Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 (edited) Graham dury, once you understood him and the way he was, if you didn’t get him he was an arse, good rider, promoter and team manager who cared deeply for the sport, had many long chats with Graham over the years about the sport and had the privilege of him as team manager at long Eaton, while promoting at Birmingham he offered me the team manager job which I refused and he said he respected me for not taking it just for the sake of taking it Edited May 23 by THE DEAN MACHINE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zagarmeister Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 Would love to go for a pint with Peter Adams. A sense of humour so dry he could start a forest fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rode for Peter half a dozen times and he is a very clever thinker and team manager and yes has a very dry sense of humour but I have never understood how he been so successful especially with individual riders on the world stage but then again the Peter Adams you pay for individually and the team manager Peter Adams are 2 different people and I suppose if I told him that his reply would probably be “I never understood why you thought you could be a speedway rider” 😂 I also rode for his brother at stoke and mildenhall John Adams who tried so hard to be Peter but just didn’t have it at all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 Ian Thomas started Workington in 1970, also brought Workington back in 1999 with tony mole, Tony Jackson got to get a mention, treble cup winner with the comets in 2018, Laura Morgan needs a mention for being in control in 2018 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 (edited) No one, I went to speedway to watch the riders, not the manager, anyone can do that and going by some of the people who have got the job over the last decade or so, has got it despite never rode a bike, they just have the right friends, hardly a qualification.

One could argue that Tim Sugar single handedly won Racers the KO Cup in 1990 (Belle Vue fans will know what I mean), so team managers can make a difference. My bugbear is ex-riders who have never read or struggle to understand the rulebook. Appoint them as a coach by all means, but (as with Wayne Rooney in football) they should be nowhere near the manager position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
