  1. I can't imagine how you missed it either. For Shropshire Star read Express & Star, for Express & Star read Wolverhampton, For Wolverhampton read Wolves Speedway, For Wolves Speedway read Freddie Lindgren. Simple really .

    I 've used it for years now, & once it's installed it works on all websites there's a counter that will show how many ads have been blocked. Also it's completely free , what's not to like about it ?

    Can I suggest for those who don't have it that they try A B P( Adblock plus), When i log into the BSF i get a notification that it is blocking 2 ads , & when i open this topic it moves to 3 blocked . Seems to work fine for me.

    Has Kelv put his heating on yet?

    No need for any banter tonight, for once the racing did all the talking for them.

    Has Kelv put his heating on yet?

    Often it is more entertaining than the racing.
  7. I think it's fair to say they both can show a nasty streak when the mood takes them.
  8. Probably another example of the "Holder Family Genes". We've seen it before in his sibling.

    Why speedway is failing

    Oh how I miss those times at Brandon. The C O never lost sight of the importance of providing the fans with the best meeting presentation he could , one of several attributes he had which made Coventry Speedway the place it was.He was always searching for ways to improve the evening out for his crowd. I recall one occassion when he was doing his usual pre meeting rider presentation he went to great lengths to explain to all that he was trialling a new " throat microphone" which allowed him to allowed him to address the crowd without the use of the traditional hand held device & that he " did hope" everyone could hear him properly . He always struck me as a very proud man who cared about the supporters & always provided VFM , I just wish there were a few more like him around the sport today.

    And of course as a long time supporter of the Pirates you will have an excellent understanding of how beneficial this can be to some clubs.

    Oxford

    Looking at the photos my impression is that there isn't a speedway safety fence in place at present, & when there is the lighting will be far enough back to be OK .

    Swindon Stadium

    Exactly!! that was my point.

    Swindon Stadium

    I think you missed my point. The stadium is obviously going to continue to operate , the speedway track is still there & being well maintained from the photos I've seen ,so why shouldn't we expect an announcement regarding the Robins returning in 2022?

    Swindon Stadium

    While we wait with bated breath for an announcement from the speedway promotion confirming their return?

    Premiership Play-Off Ties CONFIRMED

    I believe this press release contains as much truth as the one we get each year after the AGM's telling us how wonderful things are in the sport & how everyone was "on the same page".
  16. You shouldn't need to go through Willenhall. Once on the A41 go through Wednesbury & Bilston , that will take past Monmore Green & I bet you will know your way home from there.
  17. While the traffic issues continue on the M6 J10 why don't you find an alternative route? You can easily avoid the motorway by using the A34 to the Scott Arms Junction , take the A4041 to West Brom & then join the A41 to Wolverhampton, this will take you to the M54 if you need to go that far.

    Swindon Robins 2020

    We haven't heard anything from him for such a long time , perhaps he's searching so far away now that there is no form of communication available there.

    RIP British Speedway

    I seem to recall he did some quad bike racing too. I have memories of him crashing at Brandon & breaking his leg?
  20. Yep , just a bit more bluster from Buster, he is a little prone to it.

    Swindon Stadium

    He still has a long way to go to sink to that level ..

    Swindon Robins 2020

    The fact that the stadium owners have been spending money on the re-shaping of the greyhound track would suggest that they don't have any immediate plans to knock the place down for housing. That doesn't guarantee the speedway will return of course.Time will tell.

    Leicester Lions 2021

    It's something that has been prevalent at many clubs in this sport for years I'm afraid. If you continue to ask pertinent questions you will very likely get the next old chesnut "Well if you don't like it don't come".Yet they still can't understand the damage that is caused by their comments.
  25. I've just been looking a some of Jeff Davies' action shots from last night's meeting & there is one of Bomber . He is definitely using G M engines but I can't read who the tuner is I'm afraid.
