When Woffy was at Wroclaw back in 2012 I know that part of his deal was to engage with fans before the start of the meeting to promote the club etc.(could be the same for many riders in Poland)Having selfies,signing photos and any other merchandise was the norm.😉That's how I met him as I knew his Father.His first question to myself was "was my Dad any good as a speedway rider?"

Cheers DJ.Did a Wikipedia search and Belle Vue Rangers were active at Hyde Rd between 1933-1955.

For any historians out there,can they tell me what team played rugby in the centre of the stadium from the black and white footage? Never had the opportunity to visit Hyde Rd as I wasn't old enough to drive but heard some great stories from former work colleagues who were regulars(who were Crewe Kings followers) about it being a great day out with the zoo being nearby.

There aren't any mods to moderate any content on this forum.The ones I've met have all given moderating up 😉

Was it a bag for life Mick?I don't do FB i'm afraid🤔

Did you see Shohei Othani's performance in game 4 of NLCS?Apologies for the post not being speedway related. https://www.mlb.com/news/shohei-ohtani-nlcs-game-4-facts-and-figures Astonishing!!!!

Last time I walked past your vehicle at Hi Edge you were trackside with your Brother with a bag of Werthers Originals on the dashboard😉You never wound down the window to offer me one🤔

There are/were 4 rugby pitches so space wouldn't be a problem,but whether it'd be a motorsport venue(Mike Hailwood,a motorsport legend was tragically killed very nearby back in 1981),i'm really not sure.🤔I don't know whether it's being looked at or considered for any development(Birmingham RFC merged with Solihull RFC many years ago,and Portway became an alternative rugby venue for the Bees).🤔Have fond memories at 16 years old of cycling through the leafy lanes to go training and then missing the last train home from Earlswood and end up cycling the rest of the way home.😄

I used to play rugby at that very club on the map before the M42 was constructed😉The ground is called Portway.

Well,I'm a moron and you talk nonsense🤣🤣🤣

And who would that be then?

Mrs Smith has always been a superstar,and add Guesty, the Ballingers and Dave Rowe to the list too👍,and many thanks for your contribution too Paul🙏

I was a regular watching Brum at the Wheels Project(Tom Evitts and Les Powell were definately promoting👍) and I can only remember Joe Owens'(how good was he?) tragic accident for Ellesmere Port Gunners in 1985.I don't remember much else tbh with my fading memory.Most folk who went then hated the place,but I quite liked it as it was in the shadows of St Andrews football ground.🤭

As I said "a shameful end"😉

Absolutely spot on.😉It was the appointment of others who haven't a clue!!!!🙄
