    Speedway to reinvent itself?

    But it not proper cricket.

    Speedway to reinvent itself?

    Speedway was always better under lights. And in black and white!!!!!

    How Well is Your Club Promoted?

    I took grandson to new Wembley just before Covid. There was a small speedway display, with a repeating film the wrong way round!

    But it’s not 2nd tier now - no difference between Prem and Champ

    Philip Rising R.I.P

    Such sad news. Was concerned at his recent absence from this forum. A big loss to the speedway family, and of course to his own family. RIP Philip.

    Lots of mentions of grasstrack riders. How many “progress” successfully to shale? Stand-out grasstrack riders like Wajtknecht and Shanes came over full time. Neither set the house on fire.

    Brandon Update

    He’s head of Sky Blues in the Community - that last word could carry so much weight against the speedway/stox campaign

    Brandon Update

    Disappointed to see that Sky Blues in the Community have supported Brandon Estates’ plan for a 3G pitch - the supporting letter signed by former player David Busst

    Wembley and world finals

    Re 1951 - irrelevant. The winner was the rider with the most points, not he who won the most races. Still cannot fathom out why they moved away from the winner being decided over 20 heats, where every rider races against all the others. That’s the wretched circus for you, though.

    Cardiff is only a qualifying round for the circus now

    Oxford 1964

    Definitely remember his name, but I don’t think I bought anything from him directly. I did buy a few pre-war programmes at Wembley in 1970.

    Wolves v Belle Vue 26/07/2021

    Had a lot to say, then nothing. Just curious as to why.

    Didn’t know he was still alive!
