That private education was wasted on him.

I couldn't think of any other Rosses though and you said "Middle names ARE acceptable".

I have recently acquired some old Rye House programmes from their SAL days in 1955/6. What is curious is that all races were over 3 laps. Given that, other than very early on, races have always been over 4 laps, I wonder why this was so?

Earnerlenko!

31st May 1978, Poole v Belle Vue Malcolm Simmons, Alan Wilkinson, Danny Kennedy, Chris Turner. Just Chris Turner still with us.

Newcastle's George Pepper was another wartime casualty Hall of Fame - George Pepper (canadianspeedway.com)

Same as at any other track without parking - on surrounding roads and in public carparks.

Alice Hart at Belle Vue Magda Louis at Ipswich.

Why? The 'family' can pay to get in.

Absolutely this - they should pay to get in like anyone else. Frankly, they should consider themselves lucky that they get to watch their partners at work. Mine can't get near my workplace.

All riding JAPs of course!

I witnessed his Poole debut and am so pleased that he enjoyed such a long career, especially after breaking his thigh early on in it.

There was this 4TT on 26th December 1961 at Sun Street, Stoke Hanley 29 Stoke 25 Cradley Heath 25 Wolverhampton 16

Everybody is some kind of ethnic so which ones do you mean?

In 1960.

My maths have Southampton at +52. Also, as winning 4/4 is statistically harder than 3/3 they were the moral victors!

I'd like to know too. Div2 Southampton won all 4 of their matches, the last of which, v Brum (48-47) on Sept 18th, was scheduled to be their last home meeting of the season. It was billed in the previous week's programme as the 'final divisional decider' but curiously little was made of it in the actual programme!

Ridiculous isn't it? The ban should be effective from the start of next season.

Stadia UK don't own Poole Stadium, the local council do. They only hold the lease to stage whatever sports they are licensed to.

Hardly Southampton!

I live there and have heard nothing about one.

I don't think he takes too many risks at all, he's just controlled and calculated.

He recently turned 100!

Fine in theory, but rain-offs and re-arranged meetings would cause havoc.
