I've absolutely no idea what the highest transfer fee is , but I do recall a story told to us by Ole Olsen & his transfer to Coventry in 1976. He had a verbal agreement with the CO to go there, but rider control sent him to Hull. Ole refused to go & stated that he would sit out British Speedway that year. Shortly afterwards he was informed his move to Brandon was sorted out, only to find out later that Coventry had paid £30,000 for his services, ironically not to his former club Wolves but to Hull to get him released .🤣

When I watched Dan & Joe at doing their laps at Brandon ,when they were extremely young, i always thought Dan was the more impressive of the two

Very much so

Refuse collection in Brum has been awful for so long now I wonder if it will ever get sorted out permanently. The operatives are a militant bunch & have been for 30 years or more, I say this as someone who lived & worked in the area for all of this time & have seen the problems first hand.

That's brilliant, I'd already sent my email using the "old fashioned method"😄 . Every message to the council will count . i am just getting the impression that we could see Brandon back up & running again in the not too distant future, fingers crossed.

Thanks. I couldn’t get any sense from my computer when i tried 😁😁

There's a new update from the savecoventryspeedway group on their website. For some reason i don't seem to be able to add a link here. The message sounds quite positive & they are asking for fans support via email or post to help the cause. If anyone could provide a link to the item it would be a great help.

Well there's an old adage that states that " you can twist numbers around in order make your point". The track record at Sheffied is currently under 59 seconds,& that was set in May24, which suggests bikes do go faster these days. Hans would have been a long way behind in that race with his 61.4😃

looks more like Oxford to me

It certainly is, & has been for many years.. Over all my years of visiting the city I have seen so many incidents , after a while it becomes relatively easy to spot the criminals as they all conduct themselves in a similar manner.

I think for any first time visitor it's essential to go to the Prague 1 zone . So much history to see ,Prague Castle, Old Town Square, Charles Bridge to name just a few. Anyone who doesn't go there is wasting their trip to what is a wonderful city.

He's also a bit of a "thug" who has very little respect for others,he is just one of several successful sportsmen who show total disregard for the rules & the people involved in the sport that gives them their living. Ronnie O'sullivan & Max Verstappen are two more examples.

Quite possible , Eurosport have some sports that I'm sure get good viewing figures,snooker as an example,which is very popular & they will have to be accommodated somewhere else.

When Discovery bought BT Sports I'm pretty sure they stated that the Eurosport channel would disappear in 2026. I would expect anything they wish keep would be transferred to Discovery + so if they retain uk speedway it would mean signing up for streaming I would imagine.

I know,no point flogging a dead horse though.😀

I think it might be best to leave this here

Well I’ll help you a little,Sandhu hadn’t been the owner of the stadium for a while prior to its closure. So it was not his decision to shut it down which makes your previous comments incorrect. There’s much more to this which you obviously do not understand

I think it might be a good idea if you got yourself a little more informed on what has happened at Coventry judging by your last couple of posts.

Well I was at the 1993 worldfinal in Pocking & Sam's win very fortunate to say the least. He did have a habit of falling off ,& I think many fans would agree Monmore was a trick track.So a pretty accurate assessment in my opinion.

Has he been told to go straight-a- way?🙂

And "Away They Drive"🙂

Have you tried searching for the BSN app on your smart tv ?

“ Verbal agreements not worth the paper they’re written on” That’s a new one on me. 😂

I woudn't worry about it too much if I were you, there's nothing in it . It's just Pottering Around's sense of humour going into overdrive😀. I wouldn't mind betting that a fair few forum members would have been taken in by it initially as we all know the people that "run" this sport are just awful at what they do & capable of anything.😄😄

I agree, he's only been registered on the forum 5 minutes yet he's posting like he's been on here for years. Probably yet another with more than one nom de plume.🙂
