1stbendwinkoboy 11 Posted September 5, 2022 Lest we forget what it's all about amidst the bitterness of recent events, you may wish to check my "Ode to Brough" on speedwayplus.com Read it and weep. It's a poem. A poem?! Well, I did go to East Walker Primary. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scampispeedway 68 Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) Unfortunately a lot of the riders in your poem are unknown to most of the present supporters, I only started attending in 1964 and even I had to look up some of the ones that are mentioned in the ode. I remember all of those who rode during my time following the team and know that they were proud of wearing the Diamonds body jacket but as each year passes they will become distant memories of the good old days Edited September 6, 2022 by scampispeedway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) There was a crap rider from Brough, who thought the track was looking quite rough. He entered the first bend at speed And thought he was going to lead, But hit breeze blocks and went off in a huff!

scampispeedway 68 Posted September 6, 2022 *JJ, i think you are referring to Scotlands greatest poet William McGonagall who wrote about the Tay Bridge disaster and mentioned several times by Spike Milligan and who wrote a book on him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite right; I couldn't remember the spelling! Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay!/Alas! I am very sorry to say etc. Puts Shovlar's epic in the shade. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
