cyclone 943 Posted January 2, 2017 Sincere condolences to Bryns family, enjoyed when he used to wind up us away supporters over the PA, great memories RIP One of his party pieces when the Monarchs were visiting was to stick on a Dagenham Girl Pipers record, to make us feel at home. Gentle humour that we all recognised it as, and appreciated his effort to add a little bit extra atmosphere to the proceedings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

00000 1,279 Posted January 2, 2017 I would bet a lot of money of there being a proper obituary/tribute to Bryn in the Speedway Star. Christmas/new year deadlines may mean it misses this coming week but no doubt a mention, at least, with a full tribute the week after - although they may be able to do the whole thing this week. The Star does some excellent obits and you can get bet they will want to do a special job with this one. I look forward to reading, although, like everyone else, am sad that Bryn is no longer with us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheReturn 1,724 Posted January 4, 2017 enjoyed when he used to wind up us away supporters over the PA, great memories Consdiering away fans travel hundreds of miles and spend a fair bit of cash to attend speedway meetings, you would think showing a little respect to away fans in our failing sport would have been in order. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Doctor... 1,478 Posted January 4, 2017 Consdiering away fans travel hundreds of miles and spend a fair bit of cash to attend speedway meetings, you would think showing a little respect to away fans in our failing sport would have been in order. You cant have misread the post that much surely have you ? As someone else has commented - it was banter. He at least engaged with the away fans, which is not something all pa guys do.

00000 1,279 Posted January 7, 2017 Excellent obituary in the Speedway Star. Insightful, informative and quite touching. I knew the Star would do Bryn proud. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fourentee 987 Posted January 16, 2017 Just in passing, and it may not be obvious to those travelling any distance (it wasn't to me until I checked!), both the crematorium and the Jolly Fenman are outside the London congestion charge zone so that's one thing fewer to worry about when making travel arrangements.

False dawn 2,298 Posted January 16, 2017 Is anyone travelling from the Midlands? Bryn was a friend and I'm stuck for transport. Petrol costs sharing of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
