  1. Now I'm confused. Is this fact? Because it has always been stated that Peterborough couldn't afford EL and wanted to go PL, hence their top riders being released. What a great advertisement for the sport this crazy mess is.

    Coventry Poll

    Hmm... The main threads on this have gone a bit quiet, and people are even getting bored and not responding to my jibes. Do I go out and see what life is out there or should I start a new topic to stir things up? Sorry mum.. Bingo will have to do without me this week. The forum needs me. FACT!

    Classic At Newport

    ive got the result now if anyone wants it. for those of you who are going tomorrow, look away now: 1. Niels Iversen 15 +3 2. Kevin Doolan 14 +2 3. Mads Korneliussen 12 +1
  5. no you must be thinking of Jason Crumps, or Ivan Maugers
  6. here we go.. its started.. I'm surprised Scott hasn't had the blame for the Iraq war by now And Rob has done a great job as manager already. People questioned his squad before monday but he proved them wrong.. (Although King was still slated on here for scoring 9 points on his debut!) Tonight, another 4 points and this thread wouldn't even exist, not even in the wrong section!

    Millardisms

    At the end of the Swedish GP Nicki referred to himself as "Nicki Peedersen" so i reckon Johnno got it spot on.

    Speedway's Most-travelled Riders

    I know this is now an old thread and people are probably bored with it, but I only just came across it. David Blackburn also rode for Berwick in the Conference League around 1996/7. But i don't recall him riding for either Reading or Workington, can anyone confirm this? Also, Mark Loram has ridden for: Hackney, Ipswich, King's Lynn, Poole, Wolves, Bradford, Eastbourne, Exeter and Arena Essex which puts him on 9. Where does Rick Miller come on the list? He rode for the following: Coventry

    Memories Of Station Road

    The Pavillion, if i remember correctly, was still there when Long Eaton closed. They used to hold rider forums and such there, and i believe it got burnt down by arsonists along with the main bar after the sadium closed, which is when it got demolished. I think it closed down not long after the speedway closed, presumably because the speedway provided alot of business for it, but again, this is just my take on it. I first went to Long Eaton in 1984. I was then a 14 yr old Coventry fan and went because the cov juniors were racing that night. We told Darren Slater that we'd come just to see them and he was over the moon! (and probably thought we were a bit mental) My dad and i were hooked on the quality of racing we saw that night and made regular trips that year, and after and i'll never forget the night they won the league against scunthorpe. Another vivid memory was the night Hackney rode there (in 1988 i believe). Andy Galvin and Moggo got on the wrong side of the Invaders fans and i seem to remember Galvin getting into a fight with one of the fans. He never was popular there after.

    Memories Of Station Road

    What exactly is a doner kebab and what does it contain? The only one I've seen is in Coronation Street. You'll have to excuse the ignorance but I'm one of those strange veggie persons so don't know. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is pitta bread with salad and is rumoured to be Lamb meat but it doesn't taste much like lamb to me although they are nice. Apparently by law you have to have one after several pints of lager.

    Memories Of Station Road

    That was pavillion in that photo but it got vandalised a few years ago, and arsonists set it on fire (well what else would an arsonist do) so they demolished it (authorities not the arsonists). The place looks a sad state now, drove past a year or so ago.

    Memories Of Station Road

    I remember Stekkers knocking a tenth off the track record in the first League match of 1993 vs Exeter. Think it still stands but not 100% sure. It was 61.2 if i remember correctly?
