smiffy the shifta

Your are like so in major trouble krakklin!! The islanders have exceeded most people expectations already - pairs,4's that'l do for starters!!

A young mate of mine at the time who was (like me) a kenny fan had a KC jacket but im sure it didnt have his name embroidered on it - just red white and blue 3/4 length coat. last time i saw one funny enough was ebay - have now £50.00 !!

Bobbin' your far tooooo young to remember any track pre 1980 - (there that will get me an invite to dnner again)

mr Shovlar - said it all and a whole lot more. For whome it is to be blamed for the CON yesturday should be taken to task (some say should be hung drawn quartered) and made to look long and hard at what the potential harm they caused yesturday. Sponsors,tv people, oh and the most important the fans - yes the fans !! Has anyone at anytime ever really considered the hard cash paying public? From what i saw yesturday the answer is sadly NO!!

Apart from the legendary 'blunsdonite' Mike Keen have their ever been any riders from the past with my surname? A fan once said to me that their was a good grasstracker back in the 60's called keen but he could not recall if he tried his hand at shale shifting. Any info would be most welcome. TA.

its one of those questions i hate to ask because with recent events i sertainly dont want to upset anyone but asa former 'blunsdonite' from the 80's,can anyone help with bjorn anderson,steen mastrup,alf busk, and even further back Rolf Gramstad? Ta if you can

many years ago the bspa of the late 80's decreed that all bl teams had to have a 3.oo point junior at reserve.. ...........hey remember that? Its quite tame compared to the nonsense weve had to bare in recent years.... . However reason for my call is (and im sure ive got the name rite) Rob Fortune was Swindons old '3.00 pointer and while he was no superstar he was most likeable and i was just wondering how he is. Ta if u can help.

When i first started going to speedway one of the unsung hero's of Swindon was Geoff bouchard. If memory serves his career was cut short by injury. Anybody know how he's doing?

Good luck to the return of the Brummies - and to any track new or an old one returning luck and good wishes must go to all.

Wot. Six whole pages of unforgettable riders but not one mention of the beast... Tormod Langi....scuse the spelling.... Well he used to scare me anyway

My best memories of long eaton were when i visited when glasgow were in town and a sertain tigers fan lost his tooth!! Sorry fred....... ... And finally the very excitable @gerald short fan who quite literally had to have 'gas and air' and that was on the warm up lap!!! Finally i remember a little tune the Tigers sang about a sertain LE rider it went something like 'HE'S FAT, HE'S ROUND' 'HE BOUNCES ALONG THE GROUND' Im to much of a nice guyto say the riders name though.

Basing this team purely on when i attended this swindon team would take some beating. 1.Ashby 2.kilby 3.crump 4.autrey 5.briggs 6.broadbank 7.anderson. Not bad eh? ahh those were the days

I loved the visits to Halifax back in the 80's and as mentioned the clubhouse would always be open and welcoming. As a regular watcher of rugby league im also amazed at how the Shay has changed And yes for the record i still miss king Kenny

Please dont get me started about Polish riders, just ask any long standing 'Blunsdonite' about the 2 poles who came along and sadly failed to live up to expectations. Namely mr Raba and trezkowski (dodgy spelling i know) however Ed jancarz was a class act.

Nevsy relax please........just a bit of fun was only intended to lighten the dark days before March. Call it wot u like.
