    Defunct Track Pictures

    Possibly Ellesmere Port because of the football pitch, but I'm not really sure as I only went there a few times and that was a long time ago.
  3. I enjoyed the day out with the family and I thought the attendance was up on some previous years. I was also well impressed with the nifty start made by Shadders as he left the Severn Bridge Toll - however my wife states there was definite movement before the barrier went up and that a re-start should have been ordered!!
  4. Hi Martin I'll attend on either a Saturday or Sunday but the Saturday would be my preference with school aged children to think about and a journey home of 100 miles or so. Also I agree with others who have said the Pairs format is looking a little jaded and perhaps time for an England v ROW match. Happy Christmas

    Prague

    Just finishing packing our bags and then we're off to Stansted for an overnight stop (well a few hours kip) before joining the Travel Plus Tour tomorrow am. Might also get Ipswich v Wolves in if the weather is kind to us. Really looking forward to it and to all those travelling out I hope you all have a safe journey and a great time in Prague.
  6. Having watched Speedway for 36 years I guess I have become somewhat immune to the farcial events that all to regularly surround our 'great' sport. I attended on Sunday and would have to say that this latest sham has to be near to the very top in all time speedway farces, witnessed by myself. Time for all those involved to take a long hard look at themselves and the damage they are causing as I, along with many others, feel that this was a meeting that should never have been called off.

    Strange, But True

    Kai Niemi being excluded at White City in 1976 - the reason - no crash helmet!! Two dead heats in one meeting! - a test match at Birmingham in 1975. An awarded dead heat at Rye House v Peterborough in 1974. This came about when both Rye riders were excluded and instaed of a second rerun the ref. awarded the Peterborough riders 2.5 points each. King's Lynn finishing bottom of the league mid 80's - 4 points I think from two away victories - no points from home fixtures!

    Riders with two names

    Len Silver - Nel Revlis After his riding days I seem to recall Len promoted at Sunderland under the name of Nel Revlis (Len Silver backwards).

    Bryan Seery

    I met a chap last Friday and we got talking about Speedway as you do. He mentioned his only real knowledge of Speedway was through Bryan Seery, who was his Maths teacher at the time, back in the 70's.He hasn't seen or heard of Bryan since those days and did not pursue his mentor's interest of Speedway. Does anyone have any news of Bryan since the demise of Seery's statistics?
  12. Can anyone help by providing the times for heats 12, 23 and 25? Thanks very much.
