Thanks Sotonian-I sure got that the wrong way round-good on Alby winning-one of my favourite riders and the first captain of Newport Wasps-he broke the track record in the first race of the first meeting I ever attended. Again,thanks for the post correcting me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOBBATH 466 Posted July 21, 2020 Somebody said on another thread, haven't heard from gustix for a while made me think, I thought he was bound to post to this thread. He was certainly around then, hope you are well John-none of us are getting any younger in forumland. Miss your posts mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOBBATH 466 Posted July 22, 2020 How can you be banned from this site that's just about "old time speedway" ,- bad language, political incorrectness posting that you like Ghislane Maxwell or all of the above. Or have I omitted another category?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chunky 6,086 Posted July 23, 2020 2 hours ago, BOBBATH said: Blimey!! Thung to remember, Bob, is that by his own admission, John has previously been banned from the BSF (and the BSF is a lot more than just this "years gone by" section) for breaking forum rules. He has also been banned from a number Facebook groups. For me, it is really sad that someone who can be - and SHOULD be - a valuable member of any speedway forum/group lets himself down the way he does... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOBBATH 466 Posted July 24, 2020 Could it be that John is not well. Perhaps age related?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are rules on online forums and groups for a reason, and John has been shown to break these rules on multiple occasions. I'm not taking any pleasure in saying it, which is why I have actually tried to help him. Despite what you may think, I do not hate John; I just don't understand why he does some of the things he does. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
