  1. 49 years ago this very evening taken from us. Always remembered. RIP.
  2. Remember a meeting at Reading on Easter Monday Morning in 1984 when the track was so slick and dusty you could hardly see the racing!
  3. It was on the local BBC news Look North that follows the 6pm news.
  4. Exactly other sports have had their share of bad press over the decades. As regards the Sunday People "allegations" anybody within the sport knew that "deals" were made throughout its history. The only thing that Simmo and Wiggy were guilty of was naivety and talking to strangers.
  5. Sorry don't buy into that one. Football survived match fixing by certain players during the sixties and other sports same since with drugs etc.
  6. Since when was he involved at White City and Wembley?
  7. Oyvind S. Berg rode for a number of years in the UK.
  8. Helgi Langli had two short spells in the UK with both Newcastle and Oxford.
  9. Reider Eide who ride for many teams during a distinguished career.
  10. Wasn't necessarily comparing cities but the fact that the the two day world final was derided by many at the time and since and yet that's what's been put forward at Manchester albeit within a GP series?
  11. Interesting development? The two day final in Amsterdam has constantly been criticised over the years although I enjoyed the event as it gave you two days in Amsterdam enjoying the sites. Obviously people now accept the idea of a two day event albeit within a GP series?
  12. Ivan Mauger was quoted as saying that his style needed "tidying" up as Andrew appeard to be riding four bends continually locking up and should have been smoother but I guess that's what made speedway so exciting back then to watch...individualist. Riders now look all the same.
  13. I used to enjoy watching riders negotiating the bends with full lockers of which the Kennett Brothers were masters!
