    Len Silver On Tactical Subs

    Away goals have never counted double! If scores are level on aggregate, the team that has scored the most away goals wins. A lot of people talk about them counting double, but it is a nonsense. If this was the case then losing 2-1 away and drawing 0-0 ah home would make it 2-2.

    K M Videos

    There are quite often old meetings for sale on e-bay. My husband used to work for Mike Bennett who I believe has a back catalogue from MK (Both venues), Long Eaton, Rye House, Wimbledon, Newcastle, Bradford, King's Lynn, Wolverhampton, Mildenhall (Old circuit) and odd meetings from Berwick (Lough) and others.

    Swedish Gp 2009

    I wouldn't say never, just too few times. Whoever is riding for GB fans are gonna be disappointed with failure.

    White City Rebels 1976 - 1978

    White City was demolished in the mid 80's, QPR became wealthy a couple of years ago. White City was not suitable for Football with both a dog track and a speedway track round it. Also, I heard that the place was stuffed with asbestos.

    Closed Tracks (where)

    Oliver's Mount is a purpose built race track situated on a hill in Scarborough. It is used about three to four times a year, mostly by the same guys who do the TT. It used to be a Championship circuit, however take a visit there and you will see why it isn't now. The circuit is used as a public road at all other times. If you get the chance - check out the racing there its unbelievable.

    Vaguely Remembered Tracks

    Bardney near Lincoln, I think a training track used by Peter Boast.

    I think your spot on Richard. Ashbyville good racing, but a dump. You had to stamp the mud from your shoes at the end of a meeting. There is an aerial shot of the site with the old track on it in Morrisons. Quibell - nice stadium, poor track. Andy B-T (Using wife's log-in)

    The old stadium steps were still there when we last went to Millwall.

    Not quite right. Tesco's was built before the Stadium was demolished. The Stadium was on the land now occupied by B and Q. If you go on the grass next to the store and look carefully you may see some remains of the old track.

    Screensport Years.....

    The best days were when Paul Bonner produced the shows. Commentators included Rob McCaffrey, Edwin Overland, Dave Lanning and pit interviewers Mike Bennett, Chris French. Speedway had a BL / NL match of the week show in those days. After disappearing for a few years, Tommy Rander returned showing internationals and Swedish League. Clive Fisher being the main commentator with Mike Bennett as pit interviewer. Myself, my brother and Warwick Mead from Wolverhampton were amongst the many cameramen used.

    John Ingamells

    Ingoldmells. He also rode for Boston in the 70's.
  14. At the moment. Need to work with the FIM.
  15. Problem being, if they refuse permission, the council then have to turn down other sports that create noise such as football. This was also stated when the application was first heard. Also bear in mind the fact that the University complained of noise on a night when the meeting was rained-off. I am optimistic that permission will be granted. Perhaps evidence from the public enquiry of 1986 could be pulled out. This ruled in favour of the sport.
