Gary has become a proud Dad this week to baby Olivia

Sorry SL didnt know i commited such a Big crime

I didnt know when i posted it that he was Not planning on going because he is anti royals, I know i would go if i was invited and like you said your parents had a great time, i bet its a nice day out.

Maybe i didnt make it clear, it wasnt the ones invited at all but the royals he really dislikes, except i think wills and harry.

He is taking his partner and possibly child with him. i would love to go and have a nose around there.

Didnt you go with them? Gary did say he wasnt that bothered about going? He said it would be full of stuck up people who are on a different planet.

just read the latest backtrack, far better read than the speedway star and brought back alot of memories. Also great bit about Gary Frankum battle with M.E

Gary is a very ill man,he struggles with little help and he makes his condition worse by helping others. Last year He was rightly up for Great Briton 2004 which he came a respectfull 4th and below i have added a few bits from the daily telegraph in case anyone is interested. People have said i blow the Gary Frankum trumpet too much but my brother in laws child was seriously ill with M.E and it was Gary who came to the rescue as he has done for many families around the uk, my brother in law and his wife will always be thankfull for the help and support he gave and little did i know at the time Gary came from my hometown of Exeter, we have become friends since. Gary Frankum may Not of been a World Champion on track but he is off track by all the hard work he does for sick people with the awful illness M.E, he has receieved letters off Tony Blair and several celebs backing what he has done for sufferers, sadly Speedway has forgotten him.

Hundreds of you have joined our quest to find the Greatest Briton of 2004 - and it's not just the biggest names who are earning your votes. Gary Frankum, the speedway rider struck down with ME, won praise for the way he has campaigned tirelessly against the disease and the Olympic boxer Amir Khan was noted for "giving all for his country The first wave of nominations also saw support for many others in the sporting arena, including the jockey AP McCoy and the rugby league star Andrew Farrell who one reader said was "an embodiment of the bulldog spirit". Andrew Flintoff was described as someone who "lit up the summer" and "a man of steel", while badminton's Olympic silver medallist Gail Emms and the footballer Frank Lampard also rated a mention. Mathew Pinsent and Paula Radcliffe have proved popular but have been left trailing in the wake of Kelly Holmes who, in the words of one voter, "epitomises the never-say-die attitude". Not surprisingly, quite a few of you voted for Jonny Wilkinson who, said one reader, "embodies the totally the greatness of being British".

must disagree with what you have said as you have forgot to point out that these foriegners can race in sweden,poland,ect each week aswel as england but you dont get many young brits allowed to go over there and ride every week. I think we are too soft letting them over here and there should be a stronger ruling like only 3 or 4 overseas riders per team max. This is the only way that we will get better british riders in my view.

Yes i enjoyed the day out, lets hope the BSI do listen, 4 heats and a final for the u15s next year would be nice. seeing the riders on parade and not stuck inside a limo would be good.

maybe speedway needs someone to run it better then as whoever is in charge of the sport has Not taken it to the main media channels with any success? as too crump, No comment

never had Sir Elton John had been on, he is a true legend. Too big for Speedway to attract sadly

I think Bjorn Again would have at least one sound man or even 2 of them, Not sure if they could of even been miming and the sound system was playing up on their backing cd ? it was poor after the previous pre GP race entertainment of tony hadley and suzi quatro

I fully agree with what you have wrote, Crump is back to his old self,not a nice man, last year he seemed a changed man and hence raced on to be WC. Crump needs to grow up and think to himself why he isnt popular and why he is Not a role model for young riders. Crump is a top rider and the best on his day, sadly his attitude lets him down.
