  1. Start marshal's what? (Apostrophe misuse irks me)
  2. I think that's what the Supernational was in the 1990's. Can't remember how often it was staged and whether it was deemed a success though.

    Aldershot

    At the end of 1959 it was 71.7 set by Derek Timms on 3rd Oct 1959 At the end of 1960 it was still 71.0 as detailed in the previous post
  4. Why? Have you heard the noise that stock cars make?
  5. Every city has a 100% ethnic percentage even if all white! You mean ethnic minority.
  6. That 'yummy' presenter has a serious speech impediment. She's certainly no Sophie Blake.
  7. What a hypocrite! Which reminds me of when Wimborne MCC wanted to stage their big grastrack meeting, The Whoppa, near Fordingbridge in the New Forest. The locals objected and got their way. Their ringleader was none other than Murray Walker.
  8. Your anti-greyhound stance is your own matter, and others on here may well sympathise, but using it as a stick to beat other sports with will do yourself or your cause no favours.

    Wombwell 1947

    I have the programme from 17th October 1947, the last meeting of the season. It confirms the 80.2 by Dick Campbell as the record and furthermore it was not broken during this meeting.
  10. Likewise. I was vaccinated at work rather than in a clinic so maybe that's why?
  11. It's not just speedway though. How many Asians do you see competing in or watching any branch of motorsport?
  12. 1975 was before silencers - no comparison to today's noise levels.
  13. Poole v Belle Vue 31-5-78 Poole: Malcolm Simmons Danny Kennedy Christer Sjosten Martin Yeates Neil Middleditch Mike Curoso Kelvin Mullarkey Only 2/7 are still alive - Yeatesy and Middlo. For the era, that's surprisingly few. Belle Vue: Alan Wilkinson Chris Turner Peter Collins Chris Morton Les Collins Jim Brett Robert Maxfield 6/7 are still alive - only Wilky has passed away
  14. If you mean non-sporting use, they can have all the plans they like but, unfortunately for them, they don't own it.
  15. It's been confirmed that Poole legend Ken Middleditch (father of Neil) has sadly passed away. Memories of Poole Pirates Speedway Club | Facebook He made an initial impression at Hastings before moving to Poole in 1950 where he became an all-time great. His partnership with Tony Lewis became known as 'me and my shadow' such was their team riding prowess. R.I.P Ken
  16. Jeremy 'DONKEY' DONCASTER Danny BIRD KAROL Zabik Steve VERGE-IN
  17. This is why I've never agreed with the 'any speedway is better than none' brigade as bad speedway can do more harm than good in the long run.
