Back in the 70’s and 80’s Sheffield was one of the very best tracks in the country..up there with Hyde Road and Kings Lynn…at least the new Belle Vue is great but Sheffield and Kings Lynn aren’t a patch on what they were

I can remember attending the Golden Jubilee meeting at Hyde Road in 1978

What’s the rumour of Blodorn to Sheffield ?….likely ?

Can’t believe the reaction to Brennan’s message..it’s just a look back at the season and leaving the Rising Star system..in no way does it read like a farewell…he will be back at Belle Vue

Kurtz for me is now a better rider than Fricke and I would definitely have chosen him if it was a straight choice

I take it you haven’t compared the two of around Belle Vue which is what really matters crowd wise..the 2 cannot be compared

Bewley is perfectly within his rights to ask for a lot more money than his last Belle Vue contract and would be crazy not to…it’s up the club to decide how many extra fans he would bring in and ideally get the sponsorship required to do the deal.

Now finished it and it is highly recommended…I still 100% don’t agree with his stance on Belle Vue passes but that’s his opinion but it’s a fine book and well worth ordering

I’m now half way through it and I’d highly recommend it to anybody…a superb effort

Mine eventually came today and it looks like it’s worth the wait..an impressive looking thing I must admit

Thanks for the reply….sounds like huge demand which is good

I paid on PayPal nearly 2 weeks ago and still not arrived…the Kelvin Tatum one came signed from Curtis Sports in 2 days.

Play offs are the best addition to the speedway calendar…keeps the season alive for teams and fans whereby years ago the season could be over virtually before it began…play offs give something to aim for and guarantees a huge spectacle to end the season….the 2 matches this week were the best speedway you could see in front of packed stadiums and epic TV…a fantastic advert for the sport. and play offs are generally accepted in all sports outside of football,..Rugby League champions are the winners at Old Trafford, Rugby Union winners are the winners at Twickenham, most sports go the play off route as it keeps the season alive and creates a top finish which is great for fans and great for TV

I went once for MK v Bradford inter league cup I can’t remember much about the racing so I don’t think that was memorable but I did really like the set up, incredibly basic , even more basic than Berrington Lough Berwick , but liked it and thought the view looking down onto the track was great

Years ago I saw the list of banned substances in the riders handbook given to them, it was an incredibly long list full of things you’d never heard of and it advised if taking medication or pain killers then to check before taking …I would imagine the test may be the result of a strong painkiller after injury ?
