Now Kirkylane MUST be an older fan. It was at Hackney that Len Silver had the Magnificent Seven as his march out tune and that was nearly 40 years ago !! Great Days.

Len is a good promoter.... I remember going to Hackney when the Aces ruled the roost for a few years.... on the microphone he said after introducing the riders “ if Belle Vue get 26 engine failures we might win !!!!! “....0nly 13 heats to a match in those days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I only started going to Hackney after West Ham closed ( sad sad day), I certainly remember Len often made that sort of remark on the microphone.. All these years later and the Hammers closed again and here I am at Len's club again. But he does not talk on the microphone these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coldace 110 Posted June 29, 2021 Any news about who will be replacing Sam McGurk on Friday? Looking forward to seeing some action again this stop-start season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,246 Posted July 2, 2021 Looks a nice even match ahead. I would think Kinsley, Gilkes and Spooner will probably edge the home heat leaders, the Colts look more comfortable at second string level and there is one potent reserve in each side. Could go down to retirements falls etc or the crucial 3rd place in heat 2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIRKYLANE 534 Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) Congratulations to Kent... essentially a 3 man team scored 45 points plus 3 bonus points... that does not happen very often. For most of the match riders were having difficulty catching up distance and the racing was processional... 2 or 3 good heats near the end Colts can only now regroup and move on Edited July 3, 2021 by KIRKYLANE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An. amazing score for a rider with such limited experience. Those of us at Kent who have been watching him all realise what a fresh talent he is and there is no doubt that he will feature as part of the Kings side in the future. As a big fan, the sooner the better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
