One of the best races I ever witnessed was between PC (guesting for Dave Morton) and White City's Gordon Kennett at Hackney in 1977. They rode shoulder to shoulder for the entire four laps (PC on the outside and Gordon the inside) giving each other plenty of room to race and finished a "dead heat" as they crossed the line...great stuff!

I have to confess I've no idea what facility the stadium offers on the wider scale and to what degree but thanks for the link.

...personally I would have thought a photo/plaque commemorating Peter Craven would be appropriate in a suite/room named after him?

Keeping nostalgia alive!

My Alan Carter book arrived today...look forward to reading it after finishing "Tears & Glory".

Great a chance to read some good old nostalgia!

I must admit I'm seriously missing my nostalgic journey...little now appears on the forum now. Where's Sid?

My bid has successfully been removed...thanks for your help regarding this!

The seller has stated that the previous bidder has withdrawn and if my bid was therefore the only one forthcoming that by retracting he would have to cancel the auction and pay costs? Personally I don't understand what the problem is as there are two bids listed at present as you have highlighted and I have seen for myself?

Unfortunately the seller hasn't agreed to me retracting my bid? Hopefully I will be out bided and, if not, expect me to offer the book for re-sale...watch this space?

Thanks...I think I managed to do it?

...just received confirmation that it's been posted! Just hope now that my bid on ebay falls short or I may well end up with two copies!!

My Amazon account cinfirms that it was the correct book...cheap at half the price!

That was the one!

I'm afraid I'm unable to post links...beyond me although I've tried on numerous occasion! I just typed in Alan Carter book at Amazon and there it was!

I've just ordered a copy for £4-22 plus p&p...thanks again for your kind offer!

Just ordered it...thanks for that!

...I've not seen that? I'll check again thanks!

I'll let you know and thanks again...good luck with the Kelly Moran book. As I've said previously having read the book I took a different view on him. John Berry's second book made a reference to my responding to his revealing insight regarding Billy Sanders receiving money to throw a race.

...that's a new one on me? I guess it's a sensitive issue to make it public.

I've placed a bid...I'll wait and see what comes of it?

I'll check out the ebay biding but may get back to you!

That's kind of you thank you very much...I'll check first to see if one is available.

...think he was Martin and David's father?

Great...that was it!
