Not seen the start time advertised much would expect this to be advertsied a lot in the next two weeks.

Just really hope the weather is kind.

Turnstiles open at 5pm (at least that is what we have been asked to do)

Thought it was 4pm.

 

Seems a bit strange opening the 'gates' at 4 but the 'turnstiles' at 5.

 

 

[Jayne 312]

Definitely gates open at 4pm and turnstiles at 5pm (as confirmed with the man in charge ).

I assumed gates and turnstiles were the same thining obviously not.

Apparently Hans Andersen is down to ride according to Mick Bratley (unless the Ban Stays), when was this agreed?

Hope he does ride.

But wasn't he meant to be riding for Peterborough that night against Coventry?

 

Ooh...the mystery continues.

[Sandie 53]

Why is Scott Nicholls not wearing the Coventry race jacket after all he is a Coventry asset and will be back there next year anyway.

Think Nick Simmons has a good claim to that. Its 5 minutes up the road from home!!!!

Jurica Pavlic is riding according to the Manchester Evening News.
