Even worse Rob Burroughs, Doddie Weir and Jeff Astle.......

Probably confirms our rules are correct then I suppose.

I'm sure you had no issues after, but surely our rules are correct really just to be safe, you see so many sports people from all sports suffer long term with concussion.

If you swop "attending UK speedway " to "having sex", its a phrase most women have used for centuries, I've never heard it said though........

In wetherspoons lunchtime then, 5 pints for a tenner.....

Pleased it looks like Tom Brennen's recovered well from his mishap in America, always been a tough lad physically and mentally.

There for both as well ( Gordon Kennett should have won one if not for dirty Olsen) happy days and such events. Went on a coach with about 20 of us from the motorcycle club I was with for riding moto cross, different times unfortunately.

Oh dear......

That was the era I really started watching, great times, I have a memory of a fantastic race between Kelly and Kenny Carter one lovely Sunday afternoon.

Not only content but what a striking poster, would have made you take a second look.

I know my stuff, right about Poole and Glasgow, Tottenham to be relagated, pigs seen flying, Starmer develops a knowledge of politics....

Has been a winter of discontent though.....

Not always the case.......

Absolutely correct, can think of a number of 'senior' riders who were great with the youngsters in recent years, Jon Armstrong especially comes to mind with the 2 you mentioned.

They look like button mushrooms, hopefully won't be in the Shiitake any minute.....

Think the bank is offering 0% interest at the moment......

When it comes to speedway perhaps you need something else in the ring.....

Who was exceptional ?

Exactly and who would not like to see what the best young Brit of his age can do? Hopefully he'll get towards Brennan's level this year, I know I'd rather see a rider on the up, than one just hanging on to be a No1, just got to stay injury free as usual.

Consensus seems to be: Batch is good on his day and Cook is very good when and if he turns up, in every sense of the word. I'd be a bit worried with both in my team, but you never know.....

Maybe because he came through the Arlington 'school ', most oposing fans disliked Eastbourne in the day so perhaps maybe the usual speedway fan long memories and association? Being an Eastie fan saw him from a tiny lad, tough but always a pleasant lad.

Not a boffin, but maybe a rev limiter ( or a lower set one) or grippier tracks so they don't rev their nuts off spinning away...

I think most people would really know the work he does for Ipswich and speedway is amazing. Sad loss to both club and speedway in general, as they say best to go out at the top......

What the bloke from Mott the Hoople ( one for the oldies/most of us....).
