  1. Provisionally 14/09 after Glasgow away - going to be a busy 4 days with the KOC Semis on Fri/Sat http://www.ryehouserockets.co/fixtures15
  2. Who said Danny Maassen's no good! Good job we've got uncle Len who knows what he's doing - inspired signing by the maestro
  3. It's on Facebook in the group "National league speedway only." - Posted July 1st
  4. Brilliant at Friday at Lakeside, even rode the inside when he needed too. Announced you were watching him last night & had 2 falls in the first 2! Bang on form in the last 3 tho, so I may be wrong Enjoy your visit back in the UK
  5. Hope Johnny the Spud's not staying over & watching Adam at Lakeside a week on Monday - Bad influence IMO
  6. hammers66 you don't need to drive to Lakeside, there is a train from London, which stops at Chalfont Hundred & then a 15min walk via the shopping centre & entrance to the track is near the go-kart track. I occasionally make this trip from North London when I don't fancy driving Only 3 home fixtures left this season, get yourself down there, you'll love it, way better live
  7. Fair enough westhamboy. He was all over the place in his first 2/3 heats, but looked a lot better later on; maybe nerves. At least he gave 100%, no doubt about the effort. Good luck to the lad
  8. Eddies on fire, Nikolajs in the points, if the other 4 ride half a lap faster we could get something out of this
  9. Will probably be a long time until Lambert appears at Berwick again, as I doubt he will be doubling-up next year. Bet he gets a great reception at the end of the night after some great overtaking moves
  10. Can't believe Tai estimates his expenses at £350K per annum. Wonder where speedway's going wrong!
  11. Thanks for the history lesson White Knight, hope another flag gets banned, and you can educate me some more When I was a nipper I remember disliking Gordon Kennett because I saw him on the cover of the Star with Confederate flag on his Oxford race jacket & thought he was a white supremacist?!? Reckon I'd recently watched the film "In the Heat of the Night"

  13. Looks like we've got a new fast track rider for next year http://twitter.com/bordeauxexpat/status/614809561015414785/photo/1 Onwards & upwards
  14. This guy could do the job at reserve: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YJMWWE9C9aU
  15. Notes from the Scunthorpe programme 02/05/77 Re: their match at Edinburgh 22/04/77 In heat one Bert Harkins clearly broke the tapes which were left strung along the safety fence. Then we discovered that there were no telephone at the starting line. A phone call to the referee Mr Jack Cuthbert after the race had finished brought forth the answer, "the tapes were not broken at all" In heat two Mal Chambers broke the tapes, the race was stopped and the red exclusion light was displayed. Shortly afterwards it was turned off and then turned on again which prompted Mr Neil MacFarlane, Edinburgh team manager, to phone the referee and persuade you should reinstate Chambers - which he did! His explanation to us was that Chambers should now not be excluded because Mr MacFarlane had explained to him that Chambers did not really intend to break them but had developed a mechanical fault with his machine In heat three Jack Millen broke the tapes which were again left dangling over the track - no exclusion and the explanation that Mr Cuthbert had no idea who broke them! Probably hardly able to believe his luck Millen again broke the tapes in the five - no exclusion and a comment from the referee that he knew best, he could see best, and a comment to stop protesting every time the tapes were broken and nobody was excluded In heat 11 Dave Baugh clearly broke the tapes - all four riders were allowed in the re-run and in view of the referees instructions to us we did not bring this to his attention In general refereeing has improved!
  16. Thought it was right that Lambert was excluded. Was going for a gap, which closed & just got caught in a sandwich. Unlucky, but right decision IMO. Milik was excellent, tough old school 100% Czech fighter, Stars fans are going to get plenty of entertainment for the rest of the season
  17. You are right Mauger_Magic, BSPA website, UPCOMING FIXTURES... Has it down as PL!
  18. Hi Dave found another programme Exe v Cov 78, with second half filled in. Think this is the one you wanted https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7zyv364aw3genkp/AAD9bpOH4U399ouJ8hiV68hGa?dl=0
  19. Hope these 3 programmes help Dave https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7zyv364aw3genkp/AAD9bpOH4U399ouJ8hiV68hGa?dl=0
  20. Shame you lived to tell the tale Seemed to accidentally forget a comma after the first word, never mind...
  21. Re: team building on a budget - I think Newcastle have got it right this year. Too many teams in the PL are way over budget, possibly Glasgow & Sheffield (only this year) & Somerset are OK. PL needs restructuring along the lines of the old 70s/80s NL IMO
