Agreed. A no nonsense, honest, never complains (even when he has eveyr right too) exciting rider. He deserves a huge crowd.

Ditto. A rider who has given many of us some great entertainment over the years. England v USA, Sheffield 83 anyone? Also, from the SS, it sounds like he is trying to get the Collins boys re-united for this one, maybe they'll even take to the track? That would a great way to round off a fine career. Good luck to him.

Newport are planning on running a bus up to his meeting. Neil was always a very popular Wasp.

Maybe Belle Vue could help promote this as he has given us good service over many years.

Be nice to see his brother Phil over from USA over.

Strangely enough Neil and I were discussing it this morning. IF we can get a sponsor (or as many as possible) to back Phil's air fare Neil really wants him there.

We are awaiting a price for this but if anyone out there wants to sponsor this --or towards it --then please e-mail me at : laurencerogers@blueyonder.co.uk
