harleynut 1 Posted October 5, 2015 as a wide eyed 13 year old I can remember my grand parents taking me to the full two seasons of the Wembley Lions; what seemed huge crowds on a Saturday night and a number of last heat deciders involving Bert Harkins getting us a 40-38 result; those were the days! Proper tactical substitutes, a team manager having to work it all out, changing your gate positions, elbows flying, or am I just delusional! I can still see laps from Ove Fundin and then Gote Nordin with his easy armchair style, Reidar Eide, Sverre Harrfeldt, Tony Clarke, Brian Leonard and a very young Dave Jessup. I have all the Lions home programmes and every now again succumb to nostalgia and have to get them out to re enact those seasons (what a sad old git) It set me up for travelling to Hackney, Wimbledon and then White City but like many others I have fallen out of love with the sport in the last 15 years.

Reviresco 708 Posted October 6, 2015 For anyone who wants to listen to this, but can't obtain BBC Radio London on 94.9FM, you probably know that you can listen to it on-line, and there is usually a facility to catch-up for some time after the broadcast: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radiolondon/programmes/schedules Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
packerman 160 Posted December 14, 2015 I wish I had caught this. OK I never really knew much about speedway in the capital as when I started following & understanding the sport there was only Wimbledon & Hackney left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
