    Swindon Stadium

    Since it doesn't run anything else now that would be a total closure surely?

    John Perrin

    To be fair, he's not the only one PC has had issues with.

    Speedway Cigarette Cards

    The 1928 set of 12 by Joseph Doyle seem to be the most sought after.

    Testing Riders

    Are alcohol/drug limits in speedway lower than those for driving?

    Cardiff 2022

    Lack of a Brit to support didn't help matters.
  6. Comparing speedway (or any other sport) to football makes little sense. Most other sports have play-offs.
  7. How have you reached that conclusion? You didn't ask my parents for example, who simply wanted to leave the EU.

    Fave Progs

    Rain-offs are infuriating for collectors. Were the progs printed, pulped or re-used and, if the latter, with or without an insert.

    'nicknames'!

    Donny "Too Tall" Odom was a bit naff though.

    Lesser known was Ken 'Pubic' Eyre

    My one-and-only pre-war Southampton programme from 1929. It's quite plain in design but unusually for its age the original staples have hardly rusted.

    Wolves v Lynn 2/5

    What's wrong with that, it's not illegal!
  16. They could have gone to Leicester or Scunthorpe for pre-season practice.

    Olympic Commentators

    And no running to the touchline seemingly every 5 minutes for an energy drink.

    Original BL stadiums still operating speedway.

    Correct! All were open license venues that staged WCQR meetings. There was hardly a shortage of tracks then so I wonder what the rationale was?

    Original BL stadiums still operating speedway.

    Ipswich were also running Open meetings in 1965. On the subject of 1965, what did these 4 tracks have in common? Cowdenbeath, Ipswich, K.Lynn, Rayleigh.

    Pretty sure it was Colin Richardson.

    That was Roy Nicol.

    Anyone Remember Steve Waplington?

    Paul Simon would not appreciate you getting that so wrong!
