keepturningleft 589 Posted March 26, 2014 good heavens! - I've heard speedway mentioned twice today on television, on The Chase and A Question Of Sport. What's going on? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted March 27, 2014 Not seen Question of Sport yet but noticed that Mark answered Speedway to a question when it wasn't the correct answer. Because my memory is terrible I can't remember the programme a couple of days ago - but perhaps the new Eggheads one - when the question was asked about what sport the Poole Pirates competed in. Obviously no-one knew but don't tell Steve Shovlar because he thinks they're famous. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robert72 845 Posted March 27, 2014 good heavens! - I've heard speedway mentioned twice today on television, on The Chase and A Question Of Sport. What's going on? Sadly shows how far the sport has sunk when fans get excited when speedway gets a rare mention on tv. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
