Chris Slabon - Canadian?

She might do it for two pints of lager and a packet of crisps!

The same national media who whine about having to go to Cardiff for Cup Finals because they have to get off their fat London butts.Most football and RL fans seem to prefer Cardiff because ,as we know,it is a great day out.

Does this new Wembley have a roof? If not then the weather factor means Cardiff will always be ahead as well as welcoming all of you down here for a great time that somehow I think would just get lost at Wembley

Makes you wonder who would attend such a pointless fixture(a bit like watching the Wasps this year).

I recently got some 1971 Belle Vue programmes which contained one for a Rochdale league double header-this I understand but there is another for a challenge match between Cradley and Glasgow-why were Belle Vue hosting this anyone know?

I've got one of last years so I would think there'd be one fairly soon.

From the Western Mail Moto: Millennium magic for Rickardsson Jun 13 2005 Staff Reporter, Western Mail FIVE-TIME world champion Tony Rickardsson hailed the Millennium Stadium as speedway's equivalent of Monaco after clinching his second FIM British Grand Prix success on Saturday evening. The 34-year-old Swede, who now looks odds-on to match the record of six world titles set by the legendary Kiwi Ivan Mauger, produced a sensational display in the final to see off the Czech Jaroslaw Hampel and the Danes Bjarne Pedersen and Hans Andersen. He missed the start but then flirted with disaster on the outside line to surge to the front and hold on for the win - his third in four Grand Prix this season - and move 32 points clear at the top of the world championship standings. And all this after he had started the evening in the dirt after he was taken out by Britain's David Norris in his first race of the meeting - watched by almost 40,000 fans. "I felt I was struggling a little in the middle of the meeting and was getting slower and slower, while the rest of the boys were getting faster and faster. "I then changed back to the bike I used in my first race and it worked better. As for the final, I have been riding for 15 years, doing between 500 and 600 races a season, and I am now 34, but I think I did the best first corner of my life. I just put my back wheel against the fence and it worked perfectly. "Once again, it was a fantastic show at Cardiff, and it has become what Monaco is for the Formula One drivers. I am very happy to have finished the meeting standing on top of the rostrum again, and my aim now is simple, to win as many of the remaining GPs as I can." Rickardsson's night was even sweeter as two of his big rivals for the title, defending world champion Jason Crump and the 2003 winner Nicki Pedersen, both failed to make the top eight and the semi-finals. Aussie Crump left the stadium in a rage after being excluded in three of his five qualifying races by controversial Polish referee Marek Wojaczek. Britain's big hope Scott Nicholls did make the semi-finals after winning two of his five races, but, after a poor start, he had to throw caution to the wind and put his bike into the dirt. "It wasn't the result I wanted for me or the fans, but I did my best and I can't ask any more than that," said Nicholls.

Any going to Newport/Spytty Retail Park- #20A/C,#96 (AFTER 6PM) or #16 Moorland Park Try here http://217.171.103.35/eng/index.asp?redire...sp&jscript=True

I think the League should definitely be split into "Conference League" for stand alone clubs and "Academy League" for obvious junior teams of EL/PL clubs. Having said that I would like to see a sort of "friendly" farm system develop where a chain is formed from AL through to EL . Try this as an example AL-Newport Mavericks>CL-Carmarthen>PL-Newport Wasps>EL-Swindon(just an example Waspies!) AL-Stoke Spitfires>CL-Buxton>PL-Stoke Potters>EL-Belle Vue Hopefully promoters would band together regionally like this and use this to develop their own talent over a period of years.Naturally track closures ,promotional changes,teams moving up and down leagues would affect this system but in an ideal (i.e non-speedway) world it can and does work as in MLB and the NHL in North America.

Bee, the Wasps finished 4th in the 1964 PL and were KO Cup winners.They couldn't take over the Southampton licence as they were actually refused a licence to run by the SCB(not you Shawn!),so had the PL not run "black" Newport would not have opened in '64. BTW I think Vandenberg was an Aussie.

Wot no Goldie Lookin' Chain!!!

Some people's kids ,eh? I'll be there with a Welsh Dragon/Newport Wasps flag and proud of it despite crapness of team!
