Anyone know the meeting went?

Peter Craven Memorial Trophy - Monday 18th March.
skydog replied to tocha's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Also what no one is mentioning is that if your whole family are Speedway fans, you are only paying the £15 once for all of you. People are forever moaning about what it costs to take a family, so this is surely a huge saving? -
I also asked where the Bristol venue is yesterday as I was amazed I wasnt aware of it. No answer yet...
-
How can they be allowed to spout the complete lies on their website? The Bristol bit obviously, but also Osborne was never a promoter at Reading. All he did was take a rent for a few years.
-
Pat Bliss ran Reading for years
-
Believe me they know!
-
Thanks. It would be a real shame if he doesnt race Championship this season, there's a lot of potential there if he gets a clear run.
-
What is Dan Gilkes' GSA?
-
Only people who believe Clarke Osborne are local councillors and MPs. They ALWAYS believe him.
-
Fair enough!! The only way I could see sense in it, but as we all always say, this is Speedway...
-
Could it be that the 3.00 is already rounded up from let's say 2.996? So his actual average minus 2.5% is 2.9211, which would be rounded down... Maybe?
-
Glad you both confirmed that, thought the same but started to doubt myself
-
I reckon you googled the 1st one during a traffic jam, google says 1 hour 40 (82 miles) at the moment! I can do Perry Barr in 2 hours and I have to drive past Oxford to get there.
-
This has amazed me over the past few years, we used to moan if the tractors - and rakers - didnt come out after every heat. They didnt delay racing, they graded during the natural gap. Now people moan because they come out at all!
-
I will confess I didnt know about the Glasgow episode, but knew 100% that he was with Reading when he was banned. Thanks for the info.
-
What do Sheffield fans think about putting Jason at 6 and Dan as the RS? You've all watched both of them ride, is it an obvious choice, 50/50, or is there a tactical advantage?
-
Not 100%... he could turn all 3 down!!

https://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/other-sport/speedway-bird-gets-two-year-suspension-4258216 Berkshire Live 2007, "Reading Racers' Danny Bird". what year did he ride for Glasgow?
-
So what year was it?

Ipswich Witches 2024 serious team predictions
skydog replied to SpeedwayFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I never had any opinion of him until Reading ran MSDL at Swindon in 2019, Jason made a point of finding the team managers and handing over a box of used parts to distribute amongst our riders. That makes him a decent bloke in my book! -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Bird_(speedway_rider) He rode for Glasgow in 06 and Reading in 07, their 2nd year as the Bulldogs. If he'd tested positive in 06 he wouldnt have been riding in 07.

Swindon Robins 2024 team predictions
skydog replied to Ericd22b's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Absolutely. This is just another episode in the Clark Oborne Takes The Piss Out Of Speedway box set. -
Wonder what the completion date is, 12th of never?
-
He was riding for Reading when it happened, but no apparently he never did pay it.
-
I do get the point, but it also sounds silly to suggest dropping a rider because he takes risks. This is Speedway, it's meant to be exciting... I was part of the Reading set up when Dan rode for us in SDL, I honestly think he has something. But he needs a decent home track (Sheffield being a good example) and to avoid injuries, and I think he will make it
