  1. Is this the same ref who earned plaudits for the U21 final a few days ago?
  2. Your manager said it's a contact sport Are you disagreeing with Muddlo?
  3. Wasn't the biggest anticlimax when Matt Fraud cancelled the fireworks and turned the hot water off in 2010?
  4. Interesting comments following last night's Rugby League Play Off semi-final - many like this (familiar noises!) A fabulous game of Rugby League, well done Cas and Saints. However, I do not like the end-of-season system: If you win the league you are champions; if you finish bottom you are relegated. It shouldn't be a knockout system - the (much under-valued) Challenge Cup is for that purpose.
  5. 89 years ago today, on 29th September 1928, the first ever speedway meeting at Brandon took place - I wonder if there will be another one? Rugby Advertiser, Friday 28 September 1928 Speedway Thrills on a Real Speedway. FASTEST IN BRITAIN. FIRST SPEEDWAY MEETING AT BRANDON MOTORDROME, To-Morrow (Saturday) at 3 p.m. Gates Open 2.15. POPULAR PRICES 1/2 and 2/4 (including Tax). Children Half-Price. Refreshments obtainable on Ground. Famous International Speedway Riders. First Time in Coventry. Coventry, Birmingham, London, and Australian Riders in Opposition. Midland Red Ruses will run from Coventry and Rugby direct to the Ground. Reduced Train Fares. Rugby (L.M.S.) to Brandon, 2.17, return 6.30. A Real Speedway. As will be seen from our advertisement columns, the first Speedway Meeting on the new track at Brandon Motordrome will held to-morrow (Saturday). The track, which is reputed to be the fastest in Britain and the first of the D shape in this country, measures, outside 462 yards and inside, 352 yards 40 feet wide on the straights and 60 feet wide at corners. A new patent safety fence device has been erected, and in future meetings will be held at night by electric light. Some very high speeds have been attained by local riders, and thus real thrills are assured the spectators, as famous international riders will be competing. There will be special bus facilities from Rugby and Coventry, and reduced train fares to Brandon Station.
  6. Anyone using the word "of" instead of "have" should be banned
  7. What a pleasure to watch a meeting and not have to listen to Sir Shoutalot or Ermolenko Great commentary - are you listening, BT?
  8. Monday to Sunday : British LeagueMonday to Sunday : National Development League
  9. Monday to Sunday : British League Monday to Sunday : National Development League
  10. Was that before or after his stint at Blunsdon? If you call that a good job, when he repeatedly gets the score, and the potential outcome of an important meeting, wrong . . . . . I know it's not an easy job, but he's had years of practice and there can be no excuse for last night's performance Along with Hans Andersen, he should be on a warning
  11. If we do, can they be on different nights instead of trying to cram 30 heats in Look at the time and they still haven't finished Presentation is less than top class too trying to cover two meetings
  12. Pearson and Tatum - which one forgot the abacus?
  13. But Poole aren't used to a level playing field - they have lots of bumps in theirs
