  1. I was thinking something along the same lines. Although I accept that the only name over the door of Coventry Speedway at this time was that of the infamous M Horton, Neil Watson's long association as his co promoter inevitably means he will be tarred with the same brush. I would describe their time as Brandon as at best very poor , at worst abysmal, & if were in Neil Watson's position I would be keeping a very low profile not bulling myself up as someone of importance in British speedway

    I didn't mention anything about spelling , & reading your post it seems that your grammar needs attention too.

    After reading this post it's understandable why you are not keen on having grammar errors highlighted.
  5. As with the majority of stuff Shovvy posts it's all about one person. Never been any different & probably never will be, the "ego" is massive. I wonder if anyone could be bothered to scratch the surface what would be found underneath

    Once again you show total disregard for the rules laid down by the "decision makers" who are doing this in the interests of the safety of the majority . It is just another indication of your selfishness & complete lack of concern for others, almost as bad as your rants over brexit.

    A great chat with the O O . i was at the Sheffield meeting ( British Scandinavian World Champ Qualifier) &recall that Ole won his first race against 3 other Scandinavian riders. He finished with 5 points that night but he made an impression with me & i followed his progress via the speedway star when he came over to UK to ride at Newcastle. When he moved to the Midlands i was able to watch him regularly. His move to Brandon was "utopia " for me & the coming together of the C O & Ole was a match made in heaven.He is,as you say very charismatic, & I remember being one of the many recipients of a wave from both him and his wife when they passed us driving down the M6 to wembley with my Ole Olsen sticker in the rear window. My two youngsters in the back were "made up" they really were the great days of speedway .
  9. Whoever he is it's probably best to disregard his posts as he's not on this forum for the right reasons.
  10. Seems to me that Redleader is yet another new poster with "his own agenda".

    My sympathy to all the decent Poole fans.
  14. Don't say that. Just as things are beginning to look a little brighter as we come out of lockdown this sort of news would wreck my cheerier thoughts.

    GP Challenge 1996

    What a tremendous race meeting this was. Five of us travelled by car to Prague for a few days & took in this meeting.We sat up in the main stand along with a few other Brits ,& must have made so much noise that after the presentation the top three riders came up to have a chat & say "thanks for the support." A day that I will always remember. and another opportunity to spend some time in a wonderful city. Great times.

    Coventry stadium revisited

    A blessing in disguise I would suggest.

    Indeed, he's doing my head in now.
  19. Given the confines that were in place , ie space & finance, i think we should be extremely grateful that we have the NSS as it stands. I don't see any other areas of the country where anything any better is proposed currently.

    That should sort things down to a tee..

    The problem with the buggy was that it is very small & if there were a lot of people trying to get on to go up to the stadium it became a bit of a Wedge. Perhaps they could arrange to" putter nother " one on

    So we have a guy who put 50 successful years into speedway promotion, (wouldn't it be great if we had a few individuals with that commitment nowadays), being accused of selling off stadiums when we know he was just one of several directors of Midland sports stadiums ltd & as such would not be the sole decision maker.

    I can recall the time that the Stoke stadium had a visit from the local vandals & it was alleged that they caused £35000 worth of improvements to the place .

    I didn't make it to Wembley in 1966, but I did get married earlier that year & it only cost 7/6 for the license .
