Wouldn't like to see him/her banned as his/her inane, stupid & uniformed posts make those made by the rest of us in comparison look extremely sensible. 😉

I was brought up living near Wimbledon Stadium and my family went to the Speedway and Stock Cars. We would also travel to other Speedway tracks like Hackney, Romford, Rye House, West Ham, Crayford and Rayleigh. All of this was by train and bus. For the Stock Cars we went to West Ham, Harringay, Walthamstow, Crayford, White City, Rye House, Rayleigh and Aldershot. In later years, once I had a car, I also went to Arena Essex, Skegness, Swaffham, Kings Lynn, Ipswich, Yarmouth, Coventry, Brafield, Crawley and others for either one or both sports. Once all the London tracks had closed I went regularly to Rye House for the Speedway and when that closed would pay Poole and Smallbrook visits two or three times a season for my Speedway fix and Aldershot for the Stox. Then COVID came and the last trains back to London are an hour earlier which means both Speedway tracks have to involve an overnight stay so I haven't seen a Speedway meeting for five years but still can get to the Sunday afternoon meetings for Stox at Aldershot. I wish I had means of seeing Speedway but I no longer have a car and until the railway restores the later trains all I have are great memories of Ronnie Moore, Peter Craven, Andrew Silver and Steve Schofield to name just four out of a cast of hundreds.

That was my assumption. Mind you, if we had a half way decent league they could run the BLRC. Was always as good, if not better than the World Final back in the day. Hey ho. -
Don’t think kemp will be back with signing a contract in Poland this season, wants to be available for that.

I don't come on here very often now but felt I needed to add my thoughts to an interesting thread. I first "found" speedway in 1972 at my local track at Oxford which was just around the corner from where I lived. I was instantly hooked and followed the fortunes of my team for 32 years before I relocated. Took in many neutral matches around the country and relished trips to White City especially. Travelled abroad for World Finals...it was my life and created so many memories that I still cherish. However I could see how the sport was being managed in the latter years of my interest and moving to an area that had no speedway diminished my interest and I had no desire to travel a distance to take in a meeting due to many reasons that I have often cited in the past on here.
