All Activity

The BLRC at Hyde Road was always an incredible meeting, all the top riders a line up that was better than the world final, 20,000 crowds, and the fun fair as previously mentioned. I also loved it when each track had their own individual meeting The Golden Hammer at Cradley, The Brandonapolis at Coventry, the Internationale at Wimbledon, and The Pride of the East at Kings lynn imagine individual meetings and challenge matches drawing crowds today?

I remember Brandon always being criticised for a lack of dirt.

Unofficial fan commentary/watch along, join us in the comments from 7.20pm

I used to go to meetings with soldier boy met him when i was staying in the union jack club in london as i was going to Kings lynn v Belle Vue by train, he was going along too we missed the last train back and had to thumb it remember him eating all the drivers sandwiches. 🤣

Sorry to interrupt, but just thought people might be interested. Just had a chat with Middleditch to ask about Tobias's foot. Apparently it was just a sprain, and he will be back for next Wednesday.

See, that’s my point. We don’t normally win at home by big margins. Our bigger scores were mainly due to crap performances from the opposition. Unusually in Edinburgh’s case and Oxford and Scunthorpe have no real substance this year.

Oh, I surely do Lisa……lol

And all the different fans from each track mingling, without an ounce of trouble

Do get the impression that this is a”going through the motions “ exercise.

Often on Derby day at Epsom.

If only we still had a magazine dedicated to the era being talked about!

That doesn't matter. FIM maintain a clear hierarchy of events, and that's what dictates things.

I think the only way Poole will be racing those teams, if it is one league

Not a day goes by where I don’t feel sad not having Coventry racing. I really, really hope we can see Brandon back some time but the longer it goes on, the slimmer my hopes get. 😞

Well, here it is. Please let this be the last time we’re doing this. 😞 The final time bikes will roar around Perry Barr. A sad, sad end to a turbulent few years for the Brummies. Wishing Tolley and the Birmingham promotion all the very best for the future and hope that they can end with a good crowd for what will be an emotional night.

Those were the days - I can remember at Sunderland, back in the 70's - a Clerk of the Course named Nel Revlis - was named in the Programme. I wonder who that could be? 🤣 Things like that happened years ago - and it was entertaining. Appropos the 'Lay Downs' - they were the ruination of Speedway for me. Those and the GP's !!!!! 🤬

He did, v Leicester on June 23...

SHEFFIELD: Jack Holder, Anders Rowe, Josh Pickering, Nick Morris, Chris Holder, Jye Etheridge, Leon Flint. LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Luke Becker, Ryan Douglas, Kyle Howarth, Sam Masters, Drew Kemp, Joe Thompson Anything other than a home win would be a disaster for Sheffield morale wise going into the play offs. Leicester have beaten us twice already round Owlerton. last visit Kerr and Sedgmen scored a shocking 1 between them, and in my opinion were rightly replaced with Morris and Etheridge. Kemp and Thompson scored paid 12, they’ll do well to do the same tomorrow. Becker back in the team makes Leicester weaker as an away team but still are the form team for me going into the play offs. Sheffield to win 50-40. If the tracks as good as the BV meeting should be some good racing

I think it's the FIM Europe under 19 final he's going to be racing in. [Hungary, Finland, Latvia and Norway are all represented. No Brits qualified]

I wasn't really commenting on that - the curse referred to the fact every time Emil was out in heat one he never won the race!!

Over 20,000 in attendance. Tickets bought in March for an October meeting to ensure you got your usual seats.. One rider from every team ensured at least 16 teams had fans there, some in big numbers... Dozens of coaches from around the country .. 100's of bikes lined up in the KL car park (hardly see a biker at Speedway nowadays).. Red shale gleaming under the lights and a crackling atmosphere.. As the night porter said to Georgie Best in the Savoy, when he entered his room with Champagne,on ice, tenners strewn all over the bed from the casino, and his girlfriend, (Miss World, Mary Stavin), relaxing on the bed ready for an evening with the great man .. "Where did it all go wrong?" ..😁
