norbold 7,167 Posted July 19, 2016 I'm not sure if "Years Gone By" is the appropriate place for this as it's about something current, but it seems to fit better into the history section! A couple of days ago at Kent Kings, my old friend and chauffeur, Parsloes, announced my uncle's 93rd birthday, whereupon he took a bow to the crowd. My uncle Joe has been going to speedway since he started going to Hackney Wick in 1935. He became an avid supporter, sometimes going to a different track every night in London (as you could in those days). He is now a regular at Kent Kings and sometimes goes to Lakeside as well. I suppose it was probably due to him that, indirectly, I first got interested in speedway as well, as his enthusiasm brushed off on two of his brothers, one of whom was my dad..Anyway, I was wondering if he is now the oldest regular speedway supporter in the country both in terms of age and longevity of going. Any challengers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Triple.H. 1,988 Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Norbold maybe you could write an article about your Uncles memories of the sport,favourite track,riders etc. I reckon it could make an interesting article during the winter in the Star.
