Midland Red

Jack Biggs, Terry Betts, Bryan Elliott, Eric Boothroyd - 29 June 1963, WCQR

4 riders, no brakes, Brandon, 1960s - WOW!!

My first race memory - WOW!!

Does anyone go to see the sport anymore, or is just to support their own riders? I used to go to virtually every home meeting at Perry Barr and Leicester in addition to Saturday nights at the hive.

Yes they were!

Browsing the newspaper archive, there are several Jack Hobbs Trophies - greyhound racing (throughout the 1930s), cricket (of course), and the Wimbledon Speedway Championship in 1935.

Coventry City we’re The Bantams, same as Bradford City, until Jimmy Hill took over and created The Sky Blues.

Attendance didn’t look very big from some of the photos!

I seem to recall a succession of Bees home meetings decided by heat 13 (last heat) 5-1s for Booey and Cap’n Jim

Although he’s told you your wrong, you are, in fact, not wrong

Gary Drinkwater, Nigel Tolley, Tracey Smith, Dave Rowe

Time to rewind to 1964/65 - calling Mr Mills-Baldwin!!!!

The one track I really wish I’d been to, above all others

Not if 250 home “fans” stay away

But who does the money go to? Stadium admission goes to the track. How much of the streaming fee goes to the track? Can’t see how it benefits track promotions.

Me too. Seen all of those on Chunky’s list ride.

I’ve seen 9 of the 16

Agree that Simmo was the better rider, but always thought that Bettsy was a better watch

“have” been

Very fond memories of that wonderful USSR visiting team RIP Yuri

For me… Nigel Boocock

I wish I knew. Always thought we conversed well on the forum in the past! Hey ho!

Top of “H” list are the letters “by” You might like to tidy it up
