When I first went to a sidecar speedway meeting I can't honestly say I was particularly looking forward to it. I was completely surprised at how exciting it was. I will be at Peterborough for sure and at £10 it's great value for money. Let's hope the weather is kind and some ''newbies'' will give it a go!

Pack a bottle or two in a backpack/rucksack and get a female partner/wife to carry it through --- meanwhile as they are busy checking her bag they perhaps won't notice that you have some goodies in your coat/hoodie/trouser pockets! Has worked for me and him for the last few years!!

Despite all sorts of rumours surrounding Coventry the attendances seem not to have altered -- I just hope that the next 2 seasons (if applicable) remain the same. I am seriously concerned and have my doubts tho' (I hope I'm wrong)

Many thanks -- I have just booked 2 hotel rooms at quite a reasonable price with breakfast and a full cancellation policy so if the date is incorrect I can rearrange! Feeling a tad smug!

Rubbish it will be 39,501

Paulco --- you are still alive then?

I attempted this in 2009 with my husband (he had been involved with F.A.S.T.)-- at the time I was sponsoring Josh Auty and we had fliers printed which we handed out at Coventry asking people if they could donate as little as a fiver every month. Everyone agreed it was a brilliant idea but,alas, no money was forthcoming. You can but try. I now sponsor (albeit modestly) 2 riders who both are very grateful and even though it's not a fortune they assure me every little helps. I still wear the Polo T shirt as my husband had a few of them -- in fact I think he still has a brand ''new'' one that remains unopened!

Whether it is clinical or reactive depression I hope he finds his way out of it. He is not alone in his suffering but he probably won't appreciate that at the moment. Good luck Lewis and it's good that you have gone public about a subject that even today remains taboo. You may well have helped the next person suffering from similar symptoms .x

Sour grapes from the Cradley fans but I doubt the storm lads noticed as they celebrated a fair and well fought victory.

I am really looking forward to this meeting and hope the weather behaves. Go James searjant ant the boys!!

The White Knight --- excuse my ignorance but who was that rider? (Was it you?)

Thank you kindly!

My 2nd visit to see ''THE STORM'' and I wasn't disappointed.My Sister came with me and commented that it was far more enjoyable than watching the Elite.She is hooked as am I!

My first visit to see the Storm team ride and am really looking forward to it. Will there be standing space in the stadium?

False dawn reappears on the forum???? Does this mean that there will be a reunion of the old fogeys/timers of the ''origional'' forum at Cardiff?

And done.

2 cells would be required for Darcy's head!

First and foremost I hope there's a stadium to visit -- especially as I hope to be able to attend more often next season Secondly I hope that the riders selected for the team will be motivated and give their all whilst offering support to younger riders and to team ride.I also hope that whoever is captain has a certain level of maturity and doesn't allow personality clashes to get in the way of racing for their team. A wave or acknowledgement to the loyal paying fans wouldn't go amiss either Does that cap fit Bomber? If so I want him back in the team --- unfortunately I have my doubts.

Will he be at reserve or your number 1?

He won't be at Cov. next season?

No -- if you had been referring to Bomber then I would have agreed.

If buying tickets online the link for discounted hotel rooms works very well --- The Ibis is £65 per room per night and there is a varied selection of hotel rooms.(I just have to cancel my 1st one now!)

I have tried every link and website going for the last 3 days and resorted to looking further afield. I managed to get a double room for £80 with free parking ,breakfast,great reviews and free cancellation up to 2 days before. The downside being that a taxi back will be required as we like a few drinkies and it's about 11 miles away.but having missed Cardiff this year I don't want to risk the same again. I would post the link for the hotel but I got the last room. Roll on 2013

Am I the only one who doesn't think that Jepsen Jensen Racing isn't a kid? (FWIW)

IF a hotel can be found (I missed a ''re booking'' this year as I couldn't make it ) I dread to think what the prices will be! Anyone out there wanting to release a double/twin room? May as well get in early!!
