    I am sick to death of posts on this thread talking about the non or late arrival of their Speedway Star magazine.

    If you have a problem then contact the publishers direct or take the matter up with your local Royal Mail contact.

    It was inevitable that putting the magazine in a clear plastic type envelope sends the wrong message to Royal Mail staff, i.e. it is probably junk mail and goes to the bottom of the pile for delivery.

    They put my mail order bride in a clear plastic type envelope and she turned up on time, so I don’t think it is the packaging.

    Why does speedway star, keep on insisting that the Olympic stadium is on the old hackney stadium site, its NOT,

    In this weeks speedway star, the piece about Vic Harding, it says, " The old waterden road became the Olympic stadium",

    The olympic stadium is NOT in waterden road, part of the old hackney stadium site is now the BT media centre/studios,

    Get your facts right, have a look on goggle map, 

    Thanks

     

     

     

    I had a look on goggle map and all it did was show me where I could find some safety glasses.

    I love visiting the track shops. I always treat myself to a lucky bag that way I know that I’m going to get some quality merchandise...a programme from a few years previous, a massive plastic key ring with a head shot of a rider stuck on and, if I’m lucky, a pen. And all that for less than the price of a cup of coffee!

    Looking forward to the novelty of a Monday evening Rye House meet. Do they still serve fish and chips on a Monday night?

    I'll bring my heavy duty plastic knife and fork just in case.

     

    I do hope Lewis Kerr doesn't punch the start marshal tonight as I'm not sure the old bloke who stands near the tapes will stand for that.

     

    I might pluck up the courage to speak to Shads tonight. However, if my shyness gets the better of me, I'll be wearing my black Castrol GTX jacket if he'd like to come over and say hello.

    I had heard that Alun Rossier had text the squad and told them about the bonding session last week. However, due to auto correct on his phone, it turns out he'd invited them to a bondage session. Apparently Robert and Tai didn't fancy it but Adam, Danny and Cookie turned up wearing gimp masks.

    I love the anoraks covered in sew on patches, old people sat on fold up chairs with their flasks, the silky smooth voice of Craig Saul, wide open spaces on the terraces, 1970's music on the tannoy, track shop lucky bags, challenge matches against made up teams, the mushy peas at the Rye Fish Bar (but not the cutlery), trophies named after a motorway, but what I love most of all is being part of a family...the speedway family.

    Had a great night celebrating on the Plymouth Hoe. Sadly she had to leave just after midnight to find some more punters.

     

    Fantastic day's racing, only surpassed by the quality of plastic forks at the fish and chip van.

     

    Sad to hear from the bloke on the centre green about the 101 year old man who was taken ill. Hopefully he's OK.

     

     

    I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that it's important to have good quality plastic cutlery with your fish and chips. I was thinking of keeping hold of my fork from yesterday, taking it with me the next time I visit Rye House and showing it to that penky looking guy in the suit.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Cardiff and there's no way would I support a move away from the Welsh capital.

    It was a great event and I was able to meet fellow speedway fans from all over the world including Swindon, Coventry and King's Lynn.

    The only downside to the weekend was when I inadvertently found myself in the Fantasy Lounge, a new Gentleman's Club on St Mary Street. Apart from being charged £75 to have a young Latvian girl called Ludmila sit with me for five minutes, my advice to anyone thinking of going in there next year...don't take an inflatable leek in with you, they'll only use it as a prop.

    Well I for one was appalled with the language used by Tai Woffinden. Someone should remind him that he's currently the head statesman of our sport and that he should act accordingly.

     

    What put the icing on the cake for me was when my sister called and told me that my impressionable young nephew was watching the action from Cardiff and was now using words he'd heard Tai use throughout the meeting.

    He's now going around saying things like 'stoked', 'fair dinkum' and calling everyone 'mate'.

     

    Maybe Mr Woffinden should take a leaf out of Chris Harris's book. Bomber behaved impeccably on Saturday night, in fact you wouldn't even notice he was there.
