    New Club for 2024?

    I wonder if Sunderland would be a possibility as the stadium is still there?

    Promoters Conference

    I'd be interested to know how fifteen minutes of actual ontrack action (using fifteen heats as an example) could be improved upon so as to make a full evening's entertainment? Perhaps adopt the American Football scenario and incorporate touchline entertainment?

    ...I'm sure that Bob Dugard was never guilty of that!

    Repair Shop

    Just watching a repeat of "Repair Shop" where one time Crayford rider Mike Bessent's boots were revitalised. Sadly at the time of the original transmission Mike was seriously ill with a brain tumour and died before they were completed.

    Top British riders 1965-1969 (no Aussies or Kiwis)

    The one rider Ivan Mauger "hated" as was highlighed in his books.

    Promoters Conference

    I, too, have never understood why people get so upset about the tractor making an appearance. We used to enjoy the break in racing by having a good old chat amongst ourselves to pass the time.

    Swindon Stadium

    Swindon fans have had to put up with a lot if hyperbole these last few years from certain people who think that they have their best interests at heart.

    More Osborne rhetoric.

    How Many Teams - and How Many Years?

    That's a very interesting breakdown and makes for fascinating reading.

    BSF Admins

    I've sent the admin team messages in the past but never receive an acknowledgement...not sure if that's normal?

    Agree entirely.

    New Speedway Books.

    Bit like the Bruce Cribb book...didn't follow any particular thread. Disappointing considering what a character Bruce was/is.

    Well there's a surprise!

    Torquay United Football Club.

    He tried his best at Cowley but failed!

    Torquay United Football Club.

    Hardly surprising knowing Osborne's history.

    SAVE PETERBOROUGH PANTHERS

    Funny that...it's the other way round with me although I have a Mac.

    New Speedway Books.

    The review wasn't particularly good if I remember?

    Who COULD Have Been a Major Force in World Speedway?

    David was a remarkable first season "find" at Cowley in 1978...shame he never returned the following year.

    GB v. Poland at West Ham. July 18 1967

    Always makes me laugh Denis Law's total dislike of England despite giving him the opportunity of making it in football as I think I'm right in saying in his entire career he never played for a Scottish club side? He always states that beating England (despite England playing with what was in effect a 10 man team for a good proportion of the game) in 1967 made Scotland the unofficial World Champions. I've read his fascinating autobiography and despite his prejudices he was certainly a star player in his time.

    We used to go to White City on Wednesday, Oxford on Thursday and Swindon on the Saturday with the fairy lights. Great days!
