The Doctor...

I recognise your name actually from the list, good to see you still around, seems so long ago now - the love being show on his facebook is touching, so many people across the world with with some lovely tributes.

Well said. Yep very sad news to wake up to today. I got to know him via the old email forums donkeys years ago and in later years when i moved up to london spent a good few nights out and about. He was still a big fan even many years after his involvement ended and was a lovely chap. Will be missed by many. Back to lurk mode for me now but just wanted to comment. Cheers.

They announced them as one of their sponsors the other week. It's on their site somewhere. The owner is a former rider sponsor

I personally think you're just a misery John and probably because your life is at the point where you have little to occupy you generally, you find pleasure in being disruptive as you're jealous of others having a life. Harsh to even type that, but i can think of no other reason really. You live nearby in a reasonably nice part of london with plenty of green space near you and good local bits and bobs for the retired to get involved in - to seemingly get off on winding people up on here is ridiculous. As others have said before, someone of your age should be an asset to the forum, not a hinderance.

Not necessarily, could have been a technician. The paramedic is in attendance as they can administer certain drugs, techs can't.

Yep, the old football ground further along the road became flats. The old speedway stadium became the new football ground recently opened..

Excellent news. I hope Mimmo and any others who were genuinely affected by this s_hithouse behaviour from management can at least enjoy their speedway now. Well done to everyone involved.

That's simply not true. I think we get it that you don't like the Cardiff Gp and Cardiff itself for whatever reason, but to say it's been follow the leader since day one is guff.

I'd be curious to see if that's right. Normal stamped post has delivery aims but no guarantees attached on a certain time span. Happy to be corrected tho.

Just about to post the same. I'm not normally one to slag off the comms blokes but that was dreadful.

Only when they are delivering certain things - the bog standard stuff is just dump and go. I haven't seen my postie in 4 years maybe more. Do you have a postman in your family per chance ? Anyway, if not, and you're just tetchy because you're waiting on something, you know I'm local and always willing to help with any deliveries you need.

woah...

Blimey that's a bit strong no. I got a ban for saying that word.

Meant to ask this before now - what sorta number of people are actually on the books for the speedway side of things ?. Saw on here about them continuing furlough but just wondered what roles they actually have. Terrible news for all affected that's for sure.

Yeh there was a thing in the Star that he passed away i'm sure it was only this year. Bob Radford sadly went a while back as Chunky said - he had a fair old fight against the big C. Great servant to Reading and others in the south. Lovely fella.

Bloody hell it's literally you picking the fights here! Old bob and one other person replied from what i can see, and both of those posters aren't even close to Rye so what relevance is that ? You were only giving suggestions at angles for people to lobby anyway, you weren't exactly offering to run a campaign. If several Rye regulars were admitting defeat then i'd say you have a point, but christ almighty, this thread has only been up half a day!

Correct - string them along long enough and hope fans just let it slide. Terrible really.

Did i say they've got bottomless pockets ? I said they were likely in a better position to do something very basic that other clubs would struggle to do, ie refund season tickets.

I imagine a fair few are clinging on as they are sitting on season ticket holders money and pulling the plug would mean they have to pay everyone out. Glasgow with a few quid are maybe in a better position to repay fans.

Yeh that was him. Got sent down for being a nonce pretty much. https://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/16202734.internet-paedophile-jailed-after-also-making-621-secret-films-of-people-urinating-at-music-festivals/

His original style would definitely show thru i'm sure, but wouldn't put it past him to be lurking with a whole new persona and writing style. He's still active on twitter although i think his profile is private now as he was getting absolutely hammered when he got out of nick.

Same here.. i found my original disc but it's screwed..

I've followed this from a distance while you and the other clever buggers have been working on this. Frankly am amazed at how you've all got so far with this.. i do hope it can be made available with the chance to donate a few beer tokens to say thanks. Cracking work gents.
