and locksmiths, car keys etc. possibly a transferable skill for some cons ?

Could be worse,? Delboy ,Boycie and Trigger, although I think Craig Boyce is past his best now ? and Delboy would have to factor in his commitments to Paris, New York and Peckham

A date would be required rather than a holy festival, good Friday this year will be April 3rd, at other years it can be as early as 20th March and as late as April 23rd, as it is chosen by an antiquated formula designed years ago by the church

Could possibly get him interested in a junior league ?

That would be Darren Pugh, but he must be in his 50's now, so surely must be due a reduction as it is some time since he rode for Camarthen Dragons

Maybe a tour of defunct tracks Jason Doyle has raced for,, maybe tomorrow we will have a picture of him at the remains of Hayley Stadium ? followed by Rye House and Somerset

CW , last of the leg trailers

I would have Frank Smart at the top of that list, his acrobatics on a bike were a wonder .

I went to a few meetingsand world championship at Wembley ,British riders at Bellvue etc in the 70's and odd meets in the 80's, but it was only when I moved from Somerset to Herefordshire in the 90's that I started to attend every Newport Wasps ( and Mavericks) home meetings and the odd away meeting when they were riding. it was the Watson, Smart, era that really got me hooked, likewise it was the demise of the Wasps which got me to being an occasional speedway attendee once again, plus a few Grasstrack meets, now there is value for money, lots of races, fast programme and few breaks in between.

Yes sadly Laurence and Gareth Rogers were brought up on Christchurch Road in Newport. Both attended St. Julian's School and are these days better known as Newport's general manager and Redcar's media officer respectively. Laurence takes charge of the Wasps because normal team manager Kevin Brown is unavailable, the same reason Gareth is on duty instead of Redcar's Brian Havlock. Laurence has held managerial positions with many clubs throughout his speedway career while Gareth has concentrated more on the promotional side of the sport.

And now they bring in Harry Redknapp , not as like he has any experience of how to fight and win, when it looks a bit dodgy financially, maybe he brings this expertise to speedway ? Moments after the not guilty verdicts Redknapp stood on the court steps flanked by his son Jamie and slammed the investigation – saying that it “should never have been to court”. Jurors accepted Redknapp’s denials that he avoided tax on any payments over £189,000 found in a Monaco account. His acquittal alongside Milan Mandaric blew the final whistle on a five-year £8 million police investigation which failed to yield a single conviction. Mandaric and former Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie were also cleared of £600,000 tax dodge claims at a previous trial, it can be reported for the first time. During the trial Redknapp was at times moved to the verge of tears as the Crown alleged that he told a pack of lies in an attempt to get off the hook.

With the BSPA being the major shareholder with 32,000 shares and the overall control of voting rights "acquired the rights" seems to be a loose statement ?

Yes, I could have been more clear, thanks

It is all on Companies house if you look 34 shareholders , 50,000 shares of which British Speedway Promoters LTD hold 32,000 shares SPEEDWAY FUTURES LTD more information - Find and update company information - GOV.UK

Scott Smith did it at Newport as well, hit the back of the tractor raking the surface, came off and the bike continued it's ride around the track fully upright on the back of the rake !
