As far as I remember the Cradley announcer always pronounced him as Strawn as well, so that's what he's always been in my head. Norman rode for Newport in the very first meeting I saw back in 1968, but my main memory of him was getting his autograph a couple of years later when he was a Cheetah (I think). Beautifully written, taking his time, with the full name, making a stark contrast to most riders autographs that I managed to acquire. RIP

Spot on we have to accept we are no longer top of the pile and if we could be a feeder league for the poles that would be a far better outcome than we have currently, the poles recognize that the UK, Sweden and US need building back up so things don't become boring with them steam rolling everything. Wouldn't it be great if something was done with Steve Evans and say Hancock and Hamill to find the next generation of Herbie and Bullet, Moran Brothers, Cowboy Cook, Penhall, King etc the Americans brought so much to the UK scene in the 80's and 90's there must be 10-15 riders somewhere in a population of 300 million who if some effort was put into them could make the stars and stripes a force again. Same with Sweden lets find the next generation of T.Ricks, Henka's, Lindgrens etc get them over here whilst young and hungry and ideally send some of our best youngsters over to Swedish league to broaden their learning/track craft. I really hope all this isn't crushed as I'm feeling a very small bit of optimism for the first time in over a decade. -

This could be one of the smartest moves a club has pulled in years. It's always better to work with rather than against Poland in terms of speedway. Only time will tell, but creating a connection like this could be huge for Ipswich, and who knows? If it proves to be successful other clubs could follow suit. -

When I heard he was signing I wasn't too impressed either but you hope that he improves and develops but he clearly hasn't and his start to the season has gone backwards, we need to replace him now or it will be too late. We have covered his lack of points because of our fantastic reserves but that cannot continue. -
Or cheat to make sure they do.
