    Just working through one or two missing bits of website info, and thought I'd see if anyone here could help. I have a few odds and ends, so might post more and turn it into a quiz type thing, if people are receptive.

    Question for tonight is, which team was Joe Screen representing in the 2003 ELRC, which was won by Lee Richardson at Brandon?

    Really nice to see Simon Stead so enthusiastic about the season ahead, and it's great to see so much positivity and forward planning where there is normally so much doom and gloom. Great signing as far as I'm concerned. Sheffield are certainly coming to the table all guns blazing, and good luck to them!

    Was it on the now Sainsbury's site? The taxi driver was too young to remember It!

    No, opposite. The old track is now a housing estate. Closed in 1987.

    Heathcote - who was obviously at the meeting (I wasn't!) gives you what was apparently announced at the meeting and Updates also gives this as the result.

    However the official referees scorecard published on the British Speedway official website gives it as Hume in 3rd and Kennedy 4th so I presume this will be the version that goes down in 'Speedway History' and will be reflected in Kennedy's CMA (won't affect Hume as he was Guesting).

    Personally I'd go with Heathcote.

    This was the reason I was asking for further evidence. I'm led to believe the SCB do verify the results and will alter them if necessary. Hopefully it will be picked up and rectified. Thanks for all the replies.

    42 matches last season, not including play-offs, 30 this year.

    Edit: no they had 6 home matches last year, which is right for the 7 teams that were in the league

    Also find the new scorecard really hard on the eye. Maybe time to start wearing those glasses. :(

    Wow. I expected far more reaction to the news about Stuart Douglas. Just goes to show how jaded the fans of the club are, I suppose, and who can blame them? Whilst I think that is the final nail in the coffin, he is right that a Lakeside out of Essex isn't Lakeside at all.

    I've always had a lot of time for Stuart Douglas. I think when someone stays in the background so much it's easy to forget the input they have in keeping the club going.

    That he is still talking about pouring heart, soul, and money into getting a new track in Essex after all the trials and tribulations over the years, that his heart is still set on not only chasing, but catching that dream, shows the total dedication and commitment of the man. The class and humility in his statement speak volumes. There aren't enough good words I can say about him, but "gentleman" is  one that will suffice for now. Thank you for everything you did for Arena, Stuart.
