just been talking to stuart wallace on the phone he informs me that there will be at least 3 coach loads of ex saints supporters travelling down on the day

yes james bond is his real name and as quoted another poster lives on a farm in taunton and he will be at my saints reunion on july 20 th along with his old mates george major and john hitman hart

another rider who was making good progress until injury was my posting namesake odd fossengen

is former southampton rider mike tams still alive? i am a member of the world speedway riders association and his name is still in the members handbook .however in conversation with joan golden(albys widow) she wondered if he was .her reasons being that mike used to keep in regular phone contact with her up to about a year ago then nothing.can anyone help in this matter .also i want to contact him myself to see if he is in england at the time of my reunion(see southampton thread)

yeah ive got a question for him why has got such a chip on his shoulder found him to be the most miserable ive ever had to interview

can we please please please put this subject to bed for whatever the reasons good or bad its done and dusted seems nikki p cant do anything right maybe he wanted to lose his bad boy image he was certainly very helpful to me in the pits before the meeting at the end of the day whats done is done

spot on bazzar 3

3000 max if that

with no disrepect to anyone i think its time this subject is put to bed its over its done with end of if nikki p wants to split the money its up to him belive me if you saw the racing yesterday it was like they were taking a cut i think the word is prosesional

yes the meeting was like watching jelly set

no not at all but everyone thinks sportsmen have a sqeauky clean image far from it ive worked the highest levels of football as well and just as much skullduggery goes on there as well at the end of the day everyone has their price but hey nikki p did nothing wrong hey shared his winnings and didnt fix the race

welcome to the world of speedway this always has taken place and always will i can remember reidar eide in the seventies selling his points for some who was in a better position to win the meeting

personally from a racing point of view it was as exiting as watching jelly set even norman strachan bill holden and odd fossengen agreed with me it was all over by the first bend

ted leasseing and johnnie hole will be there please please come come to the party the more money i raise the greater it helps people like laurence hare pip lamb alan wilkinson krystof ceigeilski etc help me to help them remember they they gave their all to entertain you
