Both Col & Jim were in the bees team when I saw my first speedway meeting , must have been around 1960.Very sad news.

You should be ok . Apparently Emil took to track "like a duck to water" so he'll be fine whatever the conditions.

Yes , but we know the start marshal can take great care to get them lined up & the second he moves away at least one rider will back off from the tapes undoing everything he has attempted to achieve .

"Pete Adams barbed & tongues" all together seems appropriate.

Could be , there definitely needs to be some sort of punishment for moving at the start, otherwise it would soon be chaos.

But surely that would just encourage them all to "try it on" & we would soon be back to the bad old "Rawhide" days ,you know "rollin- rollin-rollin".?

This could be a big day for GB speedway, he mentions integrity & transparency amongst his aims. That would be a massive step forward.

Plus a further court punishment for breaching the conditions of said order.

Probably because Poland has it's fair share of "numpties" just as we do in the UK.

Possibly Ipswich had their hand forced somewhat with the "naughty" press release by Sportowefakty yesterday?

Of course the application could have already been made.prior to the news breaking

Nothing to do with judging from the terraces , I have never stated whether the tracks were suitable or not.It's all about principles, but of course having been tutored about speedway by Mr Ford you wouldn't understand anything about those.

You are getting closer.I think it's fair to say Chapman doesn't want Holder back on his payroll but not for the reasons you suggest.

In my view withdrawing & walking out of a meeting in the fashion that they did is about as disgusting as it gets. Riders "pootling aroiund at the back" is seriously wrong too but proving that riders are guilty of that is not so easy as they will always have a reason why it happened ie bike issues & unfortunately the sport isn't managed well enough to dispute any excuse riders mighjt use

Just slightly damp conditions.?

If all riders adopted that approach every time they didn't fancy the conditions we would see very few meetings completed, & to walk out of the meeting was completely out of order. If had been paying the bills neither Holder nor his pal would have ever seen any of my money again.

Were the Poole riders concerned all Holders mates?

Not only Peterborough fans either.

Call them what you will, what I do know is that when these "caravan dwellers" turn up that invariably means trouble for the local neighbourhood. It makes no difference whether you describe them as Travellers or Gypsies.

I doubt the "low life" will be deterred by that. They have no respect for anything or anyone.

Henceforth to be known as Poole Pikey day.?

Worrying news that the gypsies are encamped on the stadium car park..Hope that they get moved before the inevitable happens.

If anyone knows when this is going to broadcast perhaps they could post on here.........................................................So I know when not to switch the tv on.

Dorset Knobs.

I think you will find that the same applied to the Wolves/Cradley matches. I always made sure I got to theses matches & there was always a strong turn out of other Bees fans too. The attendances at both Monmore & Dudley Wood were always excellent, the atmosphere was something special & way above the usual. Wonderful days very sadly missed.
