No fixed gate positions in the 70s either and the top boys often pulled rank to get the best ones further cementing their dominance

I can't take any credit anymore after been involved since the beginning I've stepped aside this year and left it for others. After 20+ seasons I think I've done my bit

I would take the 70's every time. Atmosphere, Characters (where are they now), Upright Engines (not the rocket bikes they have now), no Grand Prix (where is that going, I wonder?) Second Halves, where we saw a lot of the future young stars coming through (Gone). Who is there today, British Riders, who can compare to Simmons, Collins, Jessop, Louis and Lee. The Sport had twice the Entertainment/Excitement than it does nowadays. I sincerely hope that Speedway in this Country can resurrect itself in to the Magnificent Sport that it used to be

You never see hosepipes used anymore, some water trucks literally dribble water out so takes forever to have any effect.

You guys do a fantastic job

Weather forecast for Wednesday looks non too helpful!

Weather is coming from the west. Very light drizzle so far, forecast is for no more than that. Can never be sure though.

No live update on the SGP qualifier at Glasgow.......got a few things wrong on Workington meeting even though the information on the changes ARE on the site, the SpeedwayUpdates site has it correct as usual....

It's not much of a new update service when they only have the ability to do team meeting updates

I can deal with him.

Poland are experiencing crowds and fun times like we did in that period

Forecast is for rain all day.

Send it to the Poole page apparently theirs a rat on there 😜

My favourite era was the 70s. Crowds were big and the atmosphere due to the big crowds was incredible, even for run-of-the-mill, very ordinary, bottom of the table matches. The racing is far better now than in was then. But today's racing in front of 800 people just can't match the atmosphere of a league meeting in front of 8,000.

No idea the 70s were before my time. To be honest dispite the likes of Rickardsson, Gollob & more recently Doyle & Emil my favourite era at Ipswich was 89/90 in the National League. Plenty of teams & characters the sport just seemed more fun. Even though my all time favourite is the Cowboy.

20 miles to the east of Glasgow currently hammering down with rain.

Jack Russell's normally attack rats

And like most things got too expensive with ticket prices & the uplift in hotel costs.

Didn't help the 130 lads at chapel bank last year when the lads lost their jobs from a firm ran (alledgally ) by crooks 🤔

Anyone took my dog and I would go full Liam Neeson.

I've generally found him helpful . Always answered emails and came back with findings from raised issues.
