Sorry Gemini, I was just having a bit of fun, to try and get a bit of humour back into the posts. Everyone seems to be slagging every one elses views just lately. I think most supporters would agree that we need more dirt on the tracks though. Does anyone remember the old Long Eaton track. All the dirt they used to have on their track made for fantastic racing. In my opinion it was the most exciting racing anywhere that I have seen. Just a pity the atmosphere, amenities and comfort were zero, so I'm afraid we went back to Coventry purely for the comfort, amenities, and good natured supporters there.

Whatever happened to the track rakers (the human variety)? Can you remember them? They used to have three foot wide rakes with which they used to pull the loose dirt back trom the outside to the centre and inside of the track. Were they all made redundant because everyone stopped putting dirt on the track, sorry shale?. My point is, let's get plenty of loose shale on the tracks and see some real speedway racing, then we can go home after the meeting looking like we had been in Barbados for a month. Sorry everyone, just one old codger sitting in his rocking chair reminiscing about speedway in past times.. JohnD7244 Enjoy your speedway.

Enjoyed this post of yours immensely, even though you were being serious about it. Being about the same age as yourself, I knew immediately what you meaned by your comment. I was waiting with baited breath for the answering posts that would inevitably get your meaning misconstrued (cocked up). Didn't have to wait long did we. Mr Snackette, and TMW bit pretty quickly didn't they?. JohnD7244 Enjoy your speedway.

Speedibee, glad to see you back on board mate. Don't always agree with what you say, but at least your posts are never boring. JohnD7244 Enjoy your speedway

Did anyone watch the Eastbourne v King's Lynn match on Sky? Mr. Tatum was wetting himself because there were a couple of genuine passing moves after the first couple of bends during fifteen heats of totally boring racing. Another track that's a gater's paradise. I struggled to count up to three hundred spectators in the stadium. So take heed Mr Hemsley. Tongue in cheek, one way of bringing more passing and excitement at BP would be to re-sign Richard Hall and Ilya Bondorenko. One could come from last to first. The other from first to last!.There you are, problem solved.. JohnD7244 Enjoy Your Speedway.
