I knew Noddy really well and will miss seeing him particularly around Foxhall. I also always appreciated how nice he was to my family. Can't believe it was only a few weeks ago that I sat in the Diner with him at Ipswich chatting away ahead of cup final against Peterborough. Such sad news - R.I.P Noddy

Holder? - It is November 1st and not April 1st isn't?

I hope that Holder getting a Wildcard is just a wind up just like it was a few years back when it was speculated that Kennett was a pick?

I seem to recall John Berry also mentioned it in one of his books. Berry had openly slated Cook in the programme for the first leg and Cook took his revenge in the second leg!

I was there and it seemed clear to me that Cook made no mistake that night - he deliberately ran his team mate wide and as you say went on to celebrate his team losing. Revenge against John Berry is widely considered the reason behind his actions.

The Peterborough promotion will know and their continuing silence does them no favours at all.

Yes I remember that although I recall Gollob pulled out and was replaced by Ermolenko. I agree commitment from some riders is not what it once was!

No x 2

Feel sorry for the Panthers fans and for their riders who can be bothered. Ged says he is open and always tells it as it is so it would be good to hear what he has to say about the missing Panthers riders!

Thanks Triple H and Bavarian

Ricky Wells is self employed - no UK Speedway club owns him or any other rider for that matter, as Tsunami has explained.

Luxury - we used to have to get out of the lake at three o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, go to work at the mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY!

I am looking at going there on Sunday 3 December for the Best Pairs meeting which will probably contain about half-a-dozen Speedway races in the wider programme of events. Just wondered if anyone else has ever visited the track (or South Africa itself) that has any useful tips. I am of course aware that it is ranked the 41st most dangerous country in the world, but not the most dangerous country that stages Speedway! https://www.atlasandboots.com/most-dangerous-countries-in-the-world-ranked/ Any feedback would be most appreciated.

Same as in Night Clubs over here (so I'm told)!

Individual rounds at Berlin on 3 & 4 March!

Thank you beefy!

Well done Swindon but the Pirates certainly made them work for it until the latter stages of the meeting. Please can someone confirm the race time of heat 15 for me? I made a Hans Andersen type departure from the Stadium and missed it!

Gdansk v Torun on 8 October

When arriving at a track and finding out Frank was in charge always made me feel we would get a well run meeting and rarely did Frank disappoint. It is a great shame that in all the years I have been going to Speedway he is one of the few refs who seemed to appreciate the benefits of a smooth running show.

I agree although it's a pity that the shameful actions of a few (most notably Watt, Batchelor, Holder and Schlein) have dragged their fellow countrymen into this debate.

There is also a meeting at Bydgoszcz on Friday 6 October.

In a season that we have managed to rid ourselves of Watt, Batchelor and Holder could we really be fortunate enough to see the back of Schlein as well? We can only hope!

Apart from the Witches injury concerns presumably Nathan Greaves will be unavailable as he'll be riding for Wolves at Swindon.

Also Janusz Kolodziej, Kacper Gomolski, Jonnas Jeppesen and Kamil Brzozowski.

Surely seeing off Watt, Holder and Batchelor in one season is more than most of us could have dreamed of!
