Parsloes 1928 nearly 495 Posted September 29, 2011 And some interesting names at that! Tuff McBride sounds like a character from those British boys comics of the '60s and '70s!! In fact wasn't there actually a strip called 'Tuff of the Track'..?! We've already commented on what a marvellous name Rocco has... It could only get better if it turned out that the no. 4 has a mother who's called Theresa!! Really looking forward to this one... Let's pray the good weather continues and that the no. 7's name in no way proves prophetic!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Wilko 5 Posted September 30, 2011 And some interesting names at that! It could only get better if it turned out that the no. 4 has a mother who's called Theresa!! Really looking forward to this one... Let's pray the good weather continues and that the no. 7's name in no way proves prophetic!! Whoops - did the old double click there! Don't mock the names - I once worked with a girl with the surname Green and she named her daughter Theresa and never did get the joke, although I suspect her daughter does now. Not surprising really because the mother's name was Stephanie (Stepney as we called her)and being a single mother it wasn't a name ahe married into. Anyway I digress - yes looking forward to this tour and as you say let's hope the Californian weather holds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Talking of Stepney, many years ago I worked in the old DHSS office there and one of the claimants had the name, Nicholas Brown-Marks..: now that's a good comedy name!!

Daniel Smith 5,672 Posted October 1, 2011 Anyone got the Kings Lynn Line up ? I'm not sure its a national league meeting as David Howe has said he's at King's Lynn this Wednesday on Twitter & possibly Filip Sitera included????? It is down as a stars select team. More PL standard than NL I suspect????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
em1500uk 190 Posted October 1, 2011 I did wonder if it would be considered an NL meeting or not as the programme from the Stars v Poole fixture confused me on this somewhat. The advert on the page "upcoming at the Norfolk Arena" states it's a Stars Select, yet you look on the results and fixtures page at the back and it says it's the Young Stars v USA Dream Team! If David Howe's confirming he's in it, then it can't be the Young Stars surely?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parsloes 1928 nearly 495 Posted October 2, 2011 I think it would have to be an NL Young Stars level side as this is the way this tour is pitched and with no 'guests' planned in the tourists' side... Also the article in this week's Speedway Star suggests that's the sort of line-up KL are putting out... Should be a good 'un! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandie 53 Posted October 2, 2011 http://www.speedwayg...?extend.13415.6 Kyle Hughes Tom Armstrong Scott Campos James Cockle Lewis Kerr Sam Woods Tom Stokes Looking at that press release there are a couple of small errors. The only one worth pointing out though is that Robbie Sauer is now not touring with us this year and either Tuff McBride or Chris Thomas will be named as our number 8. Normally it takes us a couple of meetings to get dialled in but as the boys will be practicing on the track in the afternoon I expect them to be ready and willing to take on any challenge thrown at them. Kings Lynn Fans know how to turn out in their numbers so I hope to see a large crowd cheering on both teams. And as a quick plug - we will be selling our normal touring team goodies - mugs, pin badges, pens, programme boards etc and doing our normal bucket collection to help fund the tour. Please bring along some loose change or coloured pieces of paper with you. See you all on Wednesday evening Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
