It wouldn't have cost money to have a few kids do a lap of the track and inject a bit of humour into the proceedings as was promised. No idea why it didn't happen but can only think it was because of the Storm match being tagged on and the need to get on with things. Someone mentioned fireworks too but we haven't had them for a few years going back to Sandhu when I think there were complaints from the neighbours. It probably didn't have the usual 'end of the season' feel about it because although it was the last league match there is still the ELRC to come and a couple of Storm matches. It would be nice though if someone could explain on here (Neil!) exactly why the riders didn't come out at the end even if they didn't get to speak and why the kids bike races didn't happen.

Thanks. His brother then.

Well, I've learned something anyway as I didn't know there was ever a Robert Kasprzak so my next question is obviously is he any relation to Krzysztof?

Sadly not many on here have one Fliss.

Probably telling porky pies about the 'no animosity' bit as well.

You're not old enough.

I'll enjoy it then. I like the sound of Bananaman's team for 2017 too.

I'd like to bet any other team couldn't as there would be another reassessment of the figure 7. Oh the irony.

Hopefully a Premier League one ~ but riding in that league of course.

Which is why he would never have been the top choice. Shame as it's about time we had someone with integrity.

Are you saying Arnie Gibbons isn't in the circle? I'd have voted for you Arnie.

Indeed he was. Robert retired in 1983. More info here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Lightfoot_(speedway_rider)

In that case the BSPA have got no idea of pricing structures and they're doing more harm than good as there will be a really low attendance. We would have gone if it had been around £10/£12 but no higher than that. I think you've got that bit wrong about concessions for the elderly as there is only one price for adults now. Still great value though.

And can he even be described as a 'gem'? I'd query that description.

Hope not judging by how he behaves. Perhaps he could get himself on one of the Poultec schemes.

Perhaps the Brandonapolis 2013 was it? I don't know exactly what time it ended because I gave up at the semi-final stage when Chris Harris hit the fence and there was another delay. Mind you I might as well just have waited because it took me ages to find a way out as cars were blocking every exit I tried.

Presumably by being in a more official capacity he wanted payment? I suppose it all depends on how much and whether the BSPA could afford it?

But hopefully not Coventry. And not blinking Batchelor either as someone has suggested.

Naughty!

Yes, you're right ~ Belle Vue Colts are due at Coventry this coming Friday and riding after the Bees v Kings Lynn match.

I'm pretty sure the 'Simon Wigg Memorial' meeting at Peterborough also went on forever and in the end some races weren't run but that's all I can remember. We left before the end.

Heaven forbid such a thought should enter my head.

Could they not have had these 150cc races between heats of the Raiders v Kings Lynn match to avoid delays?

What did he do ~ kick it? Please don't get the hump as it's just a jokey comment on something that made me laugh as it seems fun is not allowed on here any more as there are a lot of tetchy people around.
