..........and the riders of the 50's!!!

The weather oracle showing himself up yet again.

..................to clean the dirt from the Poole riders goggles?!

I said last year that Ford would not be around for much longer in speedway and I was right - just heard he is off to replace Darren Lehmann as Australia coach/manager!!

They were waiting for a text!!

Whats the problem - can't they just use a guest or RR?

Only a quid for the programme too!! Although I lament those days, we are never going to get back to anything like that so we have to support what we do have and make the most of the sport.

I was at the 1981 final at Wembley and I am sure I remember the official attendance given as over 92,000! That was some atmosphere. The current Wembley stadium has a capacity of 90,000 whereas the 'old' Wembley had a capacity of 100,000 but was limited for evening events I seem to recall.

In terms of rider safety and protection it may not be a high price but in the context of costs for a speedway team (which this little discussion is about), £12K + is a lot to come off the bottom line.

Could be referring to this guy! Photo I took when i was racing at Mallory and Bazza was riding in the Transatlantic Trophy races in the 70's!

That did make me laugh to be fair!

Plea to Brandon Estates to allow the Bees to return to Brandon - from the CET: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-news/coventry-bees-national-league-speedway-14137597

Agree that Kacper will do ok not sure about Szcepaniak though. Woryna was only 19 when he come over to ride for Coventry and was quite inconsistent I would expect that will be different for 2018.

Who were you on the forum before 14 Dec 2016?
