Many thanks...have passed this onto my friends at Mildenhall

many thanks Tim

have you signed Ted yet ???

Not while I am about they won't !!

The National League will be standardised and run by the existing BSPA staff at Rugby. Peter Morrish is a genuine man, and we will hugely miss his composure, knoweldge and good judgement.

I have known Noddy ever since 1969 when Ipswich re-opened on The Heath. Indeed he was an amazing character, often drove riders and promoters mad, but he was so engaging and enthusiastic that in fact he was so much part of the sport. I was in the party to Ukraine in 1990 and Neil MacFarlane would always relate an hilarious tale about Noddy. I will miss his smile, his regular requests for lifts, and indeed if I ever wanted the inside story of a team or rider, Noddy always knew. We have lost some great names from Ipswich..JB John Earrey, Joe Thurley, Billy, etc..etc....Noddy old son, you were so much part of the Foxhall set up.....RIP old son

No application was made

Had every intention of paying my respects to an old friend..sadly I have to take my lady wife to hospital now, and simply cannot get to Wolverhampton on time Will miss the old rogue, bet he's flogging souvenirs somewhere today !! always good company..miss ya old friend

Sam Woods in our 1-7 is a shift worker .....he is working all weekend and can probably get to Mildenhall sometime around 5.00pm...if he reaches us in time for teh 2nd leg he will ride..if he doesn't then we have another unattached 3pt rider available

The reason for the late start is that there is a "rave" of very strange people starting Sat afternoon..finishing 0600am Sunday......gives us enough time then to clean up teh stadium of all sorts of interesting "stuff" Not our choice but the only date we were given by the stadium owners

has anyone any idea of dates for the RUSSIAN SUPER LEAGUE ???...Would be a blast to take in a couple of those dates

Anyone please have a calendar of whats going on in DENMARK SPEEDWAY for 2017 ?? Looked in usual places but seemingly not issued yet ??? Thanks

Matt Marson has a british passport and qualifies in every respect for the NL....he is still at school...gaining some experience before coming in next year for the full season

Thank you for your kind comments.....it was such a blow to have all those fans travel and not see a meeting. Just to update everyone...POWER HAS BEEN RESTORED.......and the time....0930am Monday.......!!!!!!

next week at mildenhall we have FEN TIGERS v USA TEAM v YOUNG LIONS v NORWICH STARS.... this week some huge problem near Bury st edmunds with electrical mains malfunction at approx 1000am....power was promised back by 1200hrs...then 2.00pm...THAT is when we made a decision to cancel teh meeting to save people hanging around in teh hot sun...we had no power at all ...later they promised us power by 4.30pm....then 9.00pm.....its now 9.38pm..and power is promised by 0100am Monday........what a crock of **** they tell you !!!

News is that LUKE RUDDICK has NOT broken his wrist......fabulous for the boy who is showing teh form we knew he had in him. he has burns on his hands and arm which will need some plastic surgery, but these shoudl heal better than a fracture Some extra good news that following some phone calls on the way back from Buxton, that we will now have Jordan back for both Stoke and I.O.W.....many thanks to both Ross and Jordan for their concern for Luke.

My abject apologies..I have not seen this tribute, but i was aware of Bryan's passing thanks for ll teh tributes especially relating to his statistical genius....but indeed he was a great deal more I have been a friend for many years, always swapping Xmas cards greetings and the latest gossip. he sadly lost his son a few years back....I always called Bryan "Biggles" due to the massive leather coat he wore like an old aviator His quote when he advised me of his sons death..."we have lost one out of the back of the plane"....so sad. I shall miss him, a lovely gentle bear of a man, who was a huge asset to the BSPA during his short stay as Manager farewell my old mate Biggles...... over and out

Bob was a dear friend over the 40 odd years since I got to know him. Always great company, always full of gossip, great humour and yet never anything spiteful or hurtful. I valued our friendship, he was like myself, at our prime in teh heady days of 1970/1980's. Between us we did the presentation of John berry's final book at Ipswich something I still treasure, and something JB was delighted with...no greater praise in Bob's estimation. I will miss those very amusing telephone calls, a man of quality, humour and yet shy and quite sensitive. Miss ya Bobby, you were a class act on the mike...in your writings and most of all as a human being. Rest with teh Angels old luv

Everyone at Mildenhall wishes Danny Phillips sincere and genuine best wishes for a speedy and trouble free recoverry from what was a truly horrendous crash. Our thanks to the brilliant Paramedics, lead by Jason Gillingham, and the very caring crew and Doctors of the East Anglia Air Ambulance (which is a charity). The wonderful Mildenhall and kings Lynn supporters organised an inpromtu collection for the Air ambulance charity, which raised in excess of £640, We do thank you most sincerely. Full marks to Scott Campos for doing everything possible to marshall his troops in dreadful circumstances. Speedway is a wonderful sport, but at times like this we are all brought up against the inherent dangers of the sport Once again all our thoughts are with Danny Phillips at this most difficult time. james Easter.

I really don't know why I even bother to ask anyone other than you Many thanks trust you are well....sad news about bobby Radford....doesn't look too good bw james

I am told that it will be the opening meeting at the new stadium. So lets hope that a certain Mr Gordon/Mr Morton have nothing to do with this new enterprise.

I could name 2 promoters who had a certain rider mentioned who when asked to name the one rider they would never ever consider having in their team were unanimous in their choice.

I believe that Mr Stoneman is going back to IOW..showing commendable loyalty.

That is dreadful news...I have known,admired and loved his company for over 40 years....David was a superb "mike man", but great company, funny, quck thinking, amusing erudite and somebody I respected, admired and proud to have been a friend....Awfully sad sad news..thoughts with all the family...xx

Thats wonderful news...my abject apologies..lovely man...keep on ticking Jack
