    Pits crew attire

    Why? The 'family' can pay to get in.

    Pits crew attire

    Absolutely this - they should pay to get in like anyone else. Frankly, they should consider themselves lucky that they get to watch their partners at work. Mine can't get near my workplace.

    Grosskreutz + the Golden Helmet Controversy

    All riding JAPs of course!

    Hans Andersen retires

    I witnessed his Poole debut and am so pleased that he enjoyed such a long career, especially after breaking his thigh early on in it.

    Inter-Division Tournament 1956

    My maths have Southampton at +52. Also, as winning 4/4 is statistically harder than 3/3 they were the moral victors!

    Inter-Division Tournament 1956

    I'd like to know too. Div2 Southampton won all 4 of their matches, the last of which, v Brum (48-47) on Sept 18th, was scheduled to be their last home meeting of the season. It was billed in the previous week's programme as the 'final divisional decider' but curiously little was made of it in the actual programme!

    Richie Worrall statement

    Ridiculous isn't it? The ban should be effective from the start of next season.

    Swindon Stadium

    Stadia UK don't own Poole Stadium, the local council do. They only hold the lease to stage whatever sports they are licensed to.

    New Club for 2024?

    Hardly Southampton!

    New Club for 2024?

    I live there and have heard nothing about one.
  15. I don't think he takes too many risks at all, he's just controlled and calculated.

    R.i.p. Tom Farndon

    He recently turned 100!
  17. Fine in theory, but rain-offs and re-arranged meetings would cause havoc.
  18. Speedway only allowed once a week.
  19. I believe that it's tomorrow.

    One Club Foreign Riders?

    Another Swede, Stefan Salomonsson, 5 seasons at Wimbledon.

    One Club Foreign Riders?

    I was about to add Ronnie Moore who had 18 seasons at Wimbledon but it seems that he also rode for Coventry in 1974, something that I was hitherto unaware of.

    One Club Foreign Riders?

    Aaargh! The singular is criterion. I'm sad enough to get stressed about such minutiae.

    Speedway Star magazines

    Sorry to be blunt but they are effectively worthless. Save him any hassle by just recycling them.

    Speedway Star magazines

    Ditto. Mine were recycled.
