    Promoters Conference

    Would two promoters sharing a room be classed as 'doubling-up'......

    Watford Gap Services

    Following Wolves away in the late 60's, we considered Watford Gap area as halfway home from the London tracks. This was due to the M6 not being completed to link with the M1. So return journey iwas A45 past Brandon, Sutton area, Walsall then Wolves! Very tiring! Early 70's saw M6 open all the way. Early years were great. It was as if road cones and speed camera's hadn't been invented. It could be done in just under the hour from Watford Gap. Nowadays the M6 reminds me of 'Happy Hour' on the LA Freeway, take a newspaper with you to read or a musical instrument to play! As a footnote to the youngsters, in the early days late at night the car radio was limited to either Radio Luxembourg or American Forces. So it created a love for Baseball commentaries & Elvis. Back to the services. It was a good stopping place to chat to the riders and have an inquest as to why we lost! The bike on the rack at the back of the car was always easy to spot! Often the riders would speed past us going up the M1 and minutes later the Police Jaguar would try and catch them up! Happy Days

    I'm sorry, but I thought you never apologised?

    I'm thinking you've just 'leaked' the new five year plan ahead of the AGM.

    Richie Worrall statement

    The Leicester track might have dried out by the time his ban is up. So, he won't miss any home meetings!

    Richie Worrall statement

    This is the post that started this thread. So, is the test lab he used useless? If yes??? Can it be named?

    Wolverhampton 2025

    Haha! On a Friday afternoon a 15 mins drive from the City (Town) centre would just about get you to Monmore Green!
  8. Yipes does this mean: Chris Harris, Christopher Harris, C Harris, 'Bomber' Harris, Chris Harris (G), C Harris (GBR), C Harris (Capt), & C Harris (R/R), that I read in last week's Speedway Star is the same person?
  9. The Speedy Star used to have a column penned by Angus Kix, who was actually Eric Linden. Is it some reference to this?

    Is #5's nickname "The Red Barron" ?

    I was led to believe he was on Bullseye and won a hose-pipe! It's been treasured ever since!

    Workington 2024

    Is Friday night a protected CL night for Lincolnshire teams only?
  15. Tonight was a wonderful advert for adverts.
  16. It's so nice of them to squeeze a bit of Speedway in between the adverts!

    Torun 2023

    You have to pay to do that...... but going up The Oxo Tower is free!
  18. It's to be hoped so, in order to maintain Speedway's team integrity!
  19. It's a shame that someone showing enthusiasm for attending a Speedway meeting pisses you off. I reckon some slack required from you when posting.

    New Club for 2024?

    Is the Hospital a 24/7 operation. Google suggests 9am-5pm?

    Play-off picks

    Preferred the Cheesy Chips at Eastbourne!
  22. Sadly guestfests are unfair on Glasgow as Bomber already rides for them! Perhaps they could typically ride a play off home leg v Oxford on a Saturday / Monday when Scotty would be on TNT mic duty... or is that a tactic reserved for the south coast only?
  23. Lefty

    Guess Where?

    Yep. That was my tactic.
  24. Lefty

    Guess Where?

    Sherlock Holmes would suggest Daugavpils!
  25. Why not chuck his Belle Vue appearances in as well, especially if it helps getting Management Committee Approval for another rule bender.
