    changes good and bad

    The best things have already been mentioned, touching the tapes rule, air fences, dirt deflectors, cut outs, etc., but the riders themselves look so much better these days with all the colourful kevlars and team suits. Most riders years ago just wore black leathers, with a few notable exceptions like The White Ghost, Red Devil, Little Boy Blue which made them stand out from the rest. Sandman...Don't worry about messing up the quotes. You will soon get used to everything. Welcome to the forum. You have done some very interesting postings so far. Well done.

    And a very nice place it is too. Stayed at Alnwick last year so did quite a bit of touring round Northumberland, even made it to Edinburgh and Newcastle as well as Berwick.False dawn.....You'll have to excuse Nora Batty, poor old gal, because her life just revolves around a ten mile radius of Newcastle.

    I read just about everything Shazzy. It's surprising how some topics unfold. Don't want to miss anything....

    Canterbury Crusaders

    Have just tried www.re-runvideos.co.uk and it seems to be the correct one. Not been updated since last September though so I don't know what your chances are.
  6. Make 'em all come to Coventry sometime before June 14th, Fd. That's one way to keep the attendance up at Brandon.
  7. Yes, don't worry Addict. Fd received our tickets today but has been otherwise engaged at the Training Track so not sorted them out yet.
  8. All over the place by the sounds of it Matt., but there are twenty of us on the first bend as Fd. ordered our tickets together.

    There's just one little problem with that Joanne - I haven't got a photo of him so I won't be able to recognise him. :-( I will have to rely on him finding me I think. :?

    Prague GP

    Gemini only ever vaguely remembers anyone - that's why she keeps taking photographs of everyone she meets. :? I can vouch for Matty Wigs, Joanne, he's very nice. Tall, dark and handsome too. Have met him twice now (I think.)
  11. Look what you've started now Fd! :? Go on - translate that for us. :twisted:

    Prague GP

    That's a shame, but never mind she will just have to stay in the bag all the time out of your way. After Aussie she is a dab hand at doing that. She only nearly got caught on camera once and that was Joanne's fault for spilling a drink on top of her head. :roll:

    Hope he likes dogs.

    Joanne - try a bit of something mixed with arsenic.

    I'll let you off because it was late and you must have been tired.

    Look you two, it's no good I'm going to have to step in here!21st CH....Joanne is a happily married mother of two teenagers who are not Speedway fans and neither is her husband. Joanne...he sounds a great guy. I mean anyone who goes to Wolverhampton every week just to support the visiting team has got to be okay. She's going on her own, you're reluctant to go on your own so can't the two of you get together (in the nicest possible way) just for this meeting? I've met Joanne several times and she is very nice and definitely won't bite. I just think she has got tremendous guts going to these meetings on her own, although Pawprint is always available of course if she wants to do a spot of smuggling again.

    Can anybody help

    IF, and it is a very big if, Leicester ever returned I'm sure I would enjoy supporting them and the Bees as well. I was talking to someone at the Show yesterday who is (or perhaps was now!) a member of the group trying to get Leicester back and he says it will never happen. :-( To answer your question though - years ago I used to go to Coventry and Long Eaton on a poxy Honda 50 so I'm sure I could manage it now in the comfort of a nice car on these new fangled things called motorways. (I love motorways.) Kevin..Clever answer.

    Can anybody help

    I very much doubt it with the council not on the side of Speedway. There is more chance of Long Eaton returning. I'd be a bit worried about your son using an ex Graham Plant bike as well as his machinery was always rubbish. Showed so much potential when he first started - shame he never seemed to really achieve a great deal. My husband always reckoned he would be a World Champion one day.
  19. Hey, you are working well today Fd. Time to get your Joker avatar back me thinks.
  20. You unfortunately know from experience last year, Sloop. :roll:
  21. Don't worry. No-one has had any yet. Start getting concerned at the end of May.

    ... Mmmmm...Is there a forum romance going on here that I have missed? Sounds interesting and if I was Cilla Black I might be saving up for a hat now.

    Johnnie S Hoskins

    Okay then - forget it. I was only using this thread because it was guessing a middle name and I didn't want to start a new one just for that. Sort of went with the flow, but never mind.

    Ken McKinlay

    Sorry for the confusion M.L. What I meant was no details of the time or date of the funeral had been released by Ken's family in our local paper so I presumed it would just be for relatives and friends. However, today (or yesterday now) the funeral details were given. Thank you hurriken for adding your thoughts and our hearts go out to you at this sad time.
