andout

Thanks for posting that Bavarian......That was enjoyable.

There is about a six page article in Classic Speedway Issue 21 Summer 2013.......he chose between Speedway and a job and the Job won. He also went to Leningrad with the Aces in 1969

Nah, I know you can do it!!!

You kind of missed my point......you already know the answers why ask the question? Why not just put out something like "Here is a link for Keith Harvey if you have any other information I'd appreciate it?" or something on those lines

Why do you do this John, you answer your own question with an article YOU wrote....... You really do ask for some of the "Flak" you get.

Test Matches were always great......One of the one's that really sticks in my mind was the GB v USSR international at Wembley in 1964.....Although the Russians were well beaten the atmosphere there was nothing short of fantastic. Wish they would bring back regular test matches now. There was another series in Australia in 2001.....Young Australia v Young Britain.....Aussies won the series 5-4 Thanks for posting.

Rayleigh (1949-1957, 1963)Leicester (1956)Poole (1958, 1959)Ipswich (1960-1962)Coventry (1962)Hackney (1964-1970) Think I remember seeing him at New Cross in 60 or 61.

Some supreme stylists that come to mind for me are Craven, Sjosten, Lofqvist, Harrfeldt, Loram and Kelly Moran (especially on the US tracks).

Before my time too....missed him originally!

From my part, I never saw Aage Hansen ride........

Would not be too sure of that Bob....of the 16 I have seen all but the number 1, Arthur Payne.

Yes you are right about the return of the Dons venture, I remember him saying the same thing to me.......and you could well be right about modern Speedway...we both did have a few "beefs" with it at the time.

He definitely NEVER lost interest in the sport especially International meetings (Same as me).

On a serious note....anyone know what has happened to Brian Collins? We were friends and have met him several times....we talked over email almost every day when I was collecting most of the programmes pictured on there....in fact I had so many he asked me slow down on sending them on several occasions...LOL Nice guy, I do know he had some health problems and our emails to each other just died....he did I believe had Alzheimer's. He could not update the site anymore as his software was no longer usable with the host site. I have checked out his name many times on the internet hoping for some news but, alas, no success.

Bjorn will be 84 this year.....Born in 1938

Cannot get over the negative crap on here.......Britain won fair and square, get over yourselves and enjoy a rare British win!

They sure did, I have the pleasure of remembering those days...full stadiums, crazy fans yelling their heads off and some great racing...... Polish speedway is ENTERTAINMENT plus, and a lot of professionalism thrown in and first class stadiums........I guess that's what money can do when spent in the right places.

Paris has now completely disappeared........

Noticed on the official FIM results that "Russia" was omitted alongside Sayfutdinov and Lagutas names.

It is with great sadness that I share with you Jack Geran’s peaceful passing. The family were with him Father’s Day and yesterday his daughter Sarah and granddaughter (me) were with him all day. Just as in speedway he was a favourite and much loved part of Ivydene residential home. Under the circumstances we have decided not to have a service for Dad. Instead we will hold a memorial in the future. Which we will keep you informed. Jack would want you all to enjoy the sunshine today and a cold beer. Thank you for all you support over these past few years. From the Geran family. SOURCE: World Speedway Riders Assoc....Facebook.

Sadly another drops off the list, Jack Geran died today.

Thank You very much.....I really appreciate that.

Pretty sure I was on the Glasgow one! Wouldn't remember if it were Lacey's Coaches though.

HaHa....yes it does it to me too.....Understand fully! I think the thing was we had so many tracks to go to within easy reach......and most of all it was really cheap...In the late '60s also did most away trips with West Ham including Coatbridge.....plus of course I was one of the few fans who saw those two infamous meetings in Holland in 1970......Great days! (and not so great days)
