It's obviously a very different modern stadium to the one that hosted many World Finals. But it still teems with history....the cable cars running by the stadium were something that rung a bell with me. There are also several homages to speedway's history in the stadium, though interestingly, very little about PC's, Ivan Mauger's or Hans Nielsen's wins...most of it was around Jerzy Szczakiel's win. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was there when Hans won...I hardly recognise the stadium from the picture! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it's very likely that it will evolve into an eBook edition too at some future date.As for the other autobiography we have planned for next year, I'd rather not reveal the author at this early stage. But it's none of those you've mentioned. I do hope it is from the 'BackTrack' era. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very sad it closed at Newcastle though. I hope everyone is OK with you.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BomberHammer 5 Posted September 15, 2022 Thats a shame, Maybe any refunds that might be due can be donated to the BEN Fund, Thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve roberts 9,246 Posted October 6, 2022 Very sad news but it appears that the next edition will be the last. I, for one, will miss the two magazines...from dropping thru' the letterbox I wouldn't put them down until having absorbed all the contents. At least I have the entire collections to browse thru' at my leisure reminiscing the good times! May I take this opportunity in thanking Tony Mac, Susie and all the contributors over the years. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
