  1. If you mean non-sporting use, they can have all the plans they like but, unfortunately for them, they don't own it.
  2. 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
  3. Jeremy 'DONKEY' DONCASTER Danny BIRD KAROL Zabik Steve VERGE-IN
  4. 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.
  5. Or use the Opera browser which has a built-in VPN
  6. Similar to all motorsport then from what I've seen.
  7. Alan Wilkinson captained Belle Vue without ever being their top rider.
  8. I'm sure Joe Owen did 4 in a row in his second spell with Newcastle and also that he won all 4 - the last 4 races of the match. Maybe v Mildenhall but just guessing now.
  9. Are vulnerable people the only ones allowed to have deliveries then? I must have missed that directive.
  10. My ears are too sore to continue wearing one after 4 hours but I wear glasses and ear defenders too. I've never had sore ears wearing the latter 2 only. On the plus side, it means I can only work half a day onsite.
  11. Having a year out of the leagues is not the same as coming back from being defunct though.
  12. Poole have run every season since 1948. The nearest they came to closure was the short open season of 1957. PS I assume you mean inactivity or no activity!
  13. Devastated to read this on the same day as another of my heroes, Peter Green died too. Condolences to Jean, a special lady indeed. RIP Wilkie, the ultimate Team Captain.
  14. I can't remember when fixed gate positions came in but if they were in effect in 83 then it's Cradley for me.
  15. In 1954, Golden beat Lessiter in a run-off after both scored 14pts.
  16. How can a GP that's never been staged (Russia) be one of the most popular?
  17. Means nothing then as its not theirs to sell.
  18. Do you mean Poole Council as they are the stadium owners.
  19. I thought it was the Sydney Sports Ground where he was killed, not the Showground.
  20. Um, turnpikes ARE streets, albeit originally with tolls!
  21. Who is going to develop and build these engines for a single domestic market?
  22. It's been confirmed by his Father on Facebook that former Workington, King's Lynn, IoW and Peterborough rider Tony Dart has sadly passed away. Tony suffered horrendous injuries in 2001 but still managed a track return with substantial metal in his right leg. He eventually had it amputated and, even then, manged to continue racing sidecars. RIP Tony
