should have took early train like that other guy...lol

Paradise by the dashboard light ???? Maybe more appropriate for Rye stadium tho.....

Did you switch the stadium lights off as you left then?

5 rides is truly shocking...but how does a manager motivate a guest who isn't good enough......I actually got the heebie jeebies when I saw it was gonna be Starke...just hopeless and isn't a Ty...........think you have hit the nail on it's head re Glasgow gregory peck........and I can't see us doing so well again v Lakeside away......my glass is half full tho...ha.

Hope you enjoy the trip, come on the Comets.........it's so sunny now here in marra land..24 hours too late.

Haven't been a regular reader of JCF......so NeP you think he is winding you up re Panthers fans on train? But it reminds me of the halcyon days of 1970's........'er indoors and I were camping many miles from Cumbria...south coast.it was....and we decided to call in at Eastbourne speedway, they were taking on Peterborough on a sunny Sunday....pre match Dave Lanning was doing his routine on the mike...and I still recall to this day him asking the small bunch of Panthers fans -where are the rest of you?..adding that it was only two years past, so 1970, that 40 coach loads had travelled to Eastbourne...wow 40 coach loads of Panthers = about 2,000...now that was a good travelling support if ever was. One thing that is still with me is that both clubs had the same promoter...or has time affected that fact?

Went to Exeter to see Stoney and co. get hammered.....had not bad KFC bucket after it tho......actually wish it had rained prior to meeting lol.

bet it was cold when you got yam marra

Flippin British weather.......sat there watching it pour for almost an hour.....bet it's stopped now we are home....still maybe the night off might help comfort some Comets bumps and bruises??

yep, easy peasy......could do it all with one hand eh...

Aye ok ................. same in my house marra.

£21 tonight.........old git fee.

Hmmmmm.....think I may have noticed a bit of that......but it is commendable to do a bit of vol work.

Well done for all your work......not read all posts but you mention it(vol work) a lot in ones I have read....I did similar (two roles) for a local club and had a free pass...but gave funds via other avenues...why not keep a low profile and just have a quiet pride in what you did?

Joey Owen.....!!!!!!

Raining a bit too much here in Marra Haven.......but forecast seems ok. So let's do it for Ty.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no need.....

So you will have 6 riders with 9.50 av. each........................gonna be some sting in that tail.

Is 1970 far enough back for 'the good old days'??? This was when the now famous COMETS arrived on the scene......and the fans first ever hero must have been Bob 'bluey' Valentine...just a small guy in black leathers who wowed the 3,000 regulars each Friday...not great gater, which made watching his daring his passes all the better......sadly he only appeared that one season - and I'm convinced many folk drifted away from Workington speedway in 1971 onwards because of that............

I would imagine it has.......and that's why I/we spend time, words, high blood pressure attacks, in often failed efforts to convince those who don't appreciate speedway as a serious sport to perhaps alter their views....All too often the image of speedway is as a circus sport and is proven to doubters by such stupid rider 'sharing'.....so silly.

Do they though???......when some people ask daft questions I await them asking if a rider can ride for both teams same night......it'll be asked one day.

Yep.....could, maybeeeeeeeeee, see such as Mildenhall, Eastbourne or Birmingham step up.....??????

Therein is the most important issue to sort first for 2019................who/where will be enjoying Speedway 2019.....18 Prem and Champ clubs as of now...BUT will they all re-appear for another season...I think it's highly unlikely....I still hope some new clubs could be formed...?

And am I right in reading previously that you use a laptop at work........if so gizza job marra.... Oh and have you included race nights in the above.....heads done in too much to read it again....good tho ...give you that.(Mind you have put fr instead of 'for' on line 3..lol)

One league is certainly gonna see off many veterans. Must be an awful decision to make having enjoyed the thrills of such a dangerous sport........could always get a job with Deliveroo though - express service guaranteed.
