    Moving on from the Memorabiiia thread, I'd like to narrow it down a little...

    Obviously, many of you have a wonderful collection of programmes, so what are your favourites?

    Unfortunately, my parents got rid of a bunch of ours. Sad thing is that they were mostly from the 50's and 60's, including several World Final progs (such as Malmo '61). Of the ones I've collected, the ones that mean the most are:

    Wimbledon vs Swindon (May 27, 1976). This was the week after Tommy was killed, and was the meeting that actually got me going to speedway again. The previous meeting I'd attended was the 1975 Laurels, which Tommy won.

    European Junior Championship 1984 (King's Lynn). I managed to get it autographed by Jozef Petrikovics and Oleg Volochov! However, my main memory was Leif Wahlmann's tragedy, and his remains the only fatal crash I have seen.

    1969 World Final. This was the first World Final I attended, and I still remember it like yesterday...

    Interesting Topic, I have been collecting speedway memorabilia from when I first use to go on a Friday night 1968 at Wolves. I have speedway bikes, penants, rosettes, big collection of photos, race jackets, and over 40,000 programmes, possibily my rarest programme is my Northampton

    You can bet that Ellis held the Brummies promotion to a high guarantee ransam for the 28days and he will do it again with another championship club 

    If a Club can't afford him, then a agrement can't be reached. But to say holding the club to ransam is unfair

    Norick Blodorn is more articulate in a second language than Sam Ermolenko is in his first.

    Kelvin is doing a sterling job but the loss of Nigel Pearson is now starkly apparent as exemplified by the monotone, dreary delivery of someone such as Josh Pickering tonight. 

    The camera work is hugely disappointing, two crucial overtakes completely missed. How hard can it be?

     

    Obviously you are the man for the job, get on the mic, or the Camera, like you said how hard can it be!!!!
