Looks as though the offer has ended. I got some on Friday , but having just checked again the tickets for tomorrow have disappeared from the page.

And half nutcase if you can have 3 halves

From the same guy who reckoned he could walk from the centre of Prague to Marketa in 15mins . Don't think so. Actually getting the tram back from the stadium after the meetings was all part of the fun for us, I remember when one year it was so full (2 carriages) that it felt as though it might tip over going around the turn by the castle. One guy who was stuck in the middle of the tram couldn't get off at his stop and had to go down to the town, we saw him wandering around about 30 mins later looking completely lost. Great fun and a wonderful city Didn't realise the metro went to Marketa now, and we were only there in October . Must try it out next time we go.

"Provocative" is how I would describe them.

Tram 22 - Direction BILA HORA .

I bet he was quick with the throttle too

You are right. I'm off to see if there is any new "noose"

Albert would be redundant in modern day speedway, you just need to give the promoters enough rope and they hang themselves.

I bet he could have executed a few good moves Pity he wasn't a rider then he could have teamed up with Tyburn Gallows.

In the case of Poole I would suggest identical .

Perhaps if we all start using the word it might get included in the future. After all there are plenty of opportunities when commenting on anything concerning Poole and Fraud.

You forgot to mention the sly, underhanded,dirty tricksgate that continued into the following season also.

I don't think so myself. I've never seen Garrity" scratching his nuts" in front of a tv camera.

All that can be summed up in one word, organisation!. Not something speedway is recognised as being good at unfortunately.

That's a bold statement if ever I saw one.

When we get Andersen & Bomber scoring their average we could be quite useful.

Of course you don't care what others think . You just carry on scrounging your lifts , and gaining entry to all meetings with your free pass, whilst taking the opportunity to have a pop at the paying public when they post stuff you don't like. Many fans have spent thousands of pounds supporting this sport over the years and I think that entitles them to a little respect.After all they are indirectly paying for you to watch your speedway.

Long Eaton Speedway . Reminds me of the "good times" when entrance fees were sensible and fuel was cheap, I would attend Brandon on Saturday, Monmore Green most Mondays, and Station Rd midweek. All easy to reach from my home, and great entertainment, wish I could say the same about modern day speedway.

Did someone touch a sore spot?

I almost popped round to the turnstiles to give them an extra £2 for the entrance fee ,as I thought it was worth it when the speakers went off around the first bend.

Sums it up very nicely.

Playing by the rules?

Strewth, not that "old chestnut " again.

60 years at Brandon suggests he was a survivor. There were plenty of politics going on even in those days,the 1964/5 NL & PL amalgamation was pretty heavy stuff.Although I will admit I don't think the CO was ever faced with the situation of having his club closed down by some worthless toerag . It would have been interesting to see how he'd have dealt with that situation.

He did run a very good show , with integrity and care. You must remember also that by the time you started attending the CO was getting on in years,and health issues meant that he was no more than a figurehead towards the end of his reign. I believe that a middle aged fit & healthy C O, if he was around today, would shake up this current bunch and show them how to promote the sport. But then that's just my opinion.
