Ray Stadia

I notice, what is happpening in the world of speedway today, is fans are now desensitised to negative events such as the RH situation. No, they are not the first club to close mid season, but maybe the first top flight club, to my recollection. There doesn't appear to be the same outrage and panic that was felt and expressed in past years, when a crisis occurred. Speedway fans seem to expect the worst and when there is a positive, it's a bonus!

Rye House being in the top flight of speedway was, surely, always an eyebrow raiser. The history of the club has been nursery, originally and league 2, no more. Therefore, the expense of top league speedway for the club needed more bums on seats. I am sure Len wouldn't have dreamt of suggesting RH runs in the top league, but perhaps I am wrong.

Point taken, but as the post above mine points out, Coventry not too far away and Long Eaton not too far away, so perhaps fans from those areas too could help with attendance and interest?

And not far from Milton Keynes!

I don't think there is the usual taxes that apply to petrol TWK. Probably just VAT. I think methanol is wood alcohol, but I wouldn't recommend you start drinking it TWK! Stick to your whisky and soda!

It's always good to get your leg over!

I had a look at 'Speedway Shambles' and a tweet said 'Remember when the indoor German GP got rained off?'

2 'O's in too......just saying!

Not sure how turning a cap round stops you passing wind?

Rayleigh, Essex! No...got to be the wrong Barry TWK!

Mr late dad had a wall and floor tiling business and one of his guys was Barry Wallace.....can't be the same chap?

I am a bit of a distance from Leicester, but sounds a good value evening! If I was closer, I would definitely go along! Hope it's a good turnout!

I feel sure Gustix will have some info!

I know this is also in the International section, but as it down the list, I wonder if it get's looked at as much as this section. Also, it is not very up to date. Anyway, here is a link to some recent news: www.sport.se.pl/inne-sporty/sporty-motorowe/tomasz-gollob-juz-wroci-do-pracy_990508.html It is in Polish, but can be translated into a fairly good translation. Just cut and paste and stick the above in the Google box.

Please pass on my regards!

So long as it's not 'Bored Track Racing' TWK! I imagine 'Parsloesnearly 1925' might know!......in fact, where has 'Mr P' gone?

On that basis, is there a chance we might see the mighty Dons race there in the future?

So, does a top notch rider, start out as a 'wobbler' and end up a 'wobbler'?

I think when Slough closed, their licence was transferred to Cardley speedway!

Ditto to everything that has been said.

I am not sure TWK. I was only 15 when they closed for good. But I do believe they were a track that was open, then closed, open then closed etc. Speedway tracks have a habit of following this pattern!

Rayleigh.....1973 closure. At least you had a an extra year TWK! You lucky devil!

I wonder what song she is singing TWK.........'We'll Meet Again'. ?

Hi Mark, I spoke to a rider at a Pre-65 Scramble (Marks Tey) who had a Jawa 2 valve Metisse and he was using methanol. Clive

To be fair, 'old folk' (like me) were not keen on dirt deflectors, laid down engines, the GP world championship system, but they happened and still speedway struggles. What changes has speedway tried to implement, but reverted back to the 'old ways'? (Scratching my head!)
