3 days of heavy rain no sign of a postman/person whatever hope it comes today 2 hrs in the bath without my comic aint the same

Good stuff we rode bigger cycle speedway tracks in workington in the 70s

For the first time i am going to going against u, the racing at derwent park in the early days was a lot better with tony swales doing the track, watching riders use the dirt and banking on turns 3 and 4 was a joy to watch.when a.denham was doing it the racing was as good but a little less passing thats when crowds started to drop, i agree steve done a good job but for me it was to slick very little passing on top 2 turns .

I dont think the comets threw the money around just 7 lads who clicked and had a hell of a season.

Have passed the stadium a couple of times looks small what is the crowd capacity?

They will perhaps be thinking oh look plymouth have money to spend who needs poland .

I bet woffy and lambert are kicking themselves now ! Just hope it dont go t**s up someone has deep pockets down south.

Chris pusey rode for the comets early season very overweight red as a beetroot after the race sad to see and thankfully didnt last long.on the plus side terry kelly had his best year as a comet.

I just hope they " walk before they can run", .

" for the good of speedway" explain that to all those young fans we are trying to attract .

The storey of Ronnie russell and his George medal on bbc sounds is well worth a listen, a true speedway hero.people north of watford might need subtitles, would luv to buy him a pint one day and listen to the crac .

Am talking about anyone who agrees to riding in poland knowing it will stop them from riding here, after all most have learned there trade over here.

Sure does

I just hope when poland dumps them british promotors are strong enough to say we dont want u either!

Scot squad i think its called a spoff about the police is well worth a watch .

1985 was an afternoon meeting shown live ish on world of sport, 1990 was a 7 pm start in september so a bit darker ( can u still say that) .the meeting dragged on i taped it off screen sport just as the run off starts the tape runs out lol.

Can see myself in the que for soggy burger and chips

Ditto

Now thats proper speedway

Its back in the box , it sort of fitted round the back but was like a small dancehall at the front, no ball room.

Since our holiday plans are knackered have had to get the leopard skin thong out to give it an airing

Nights got worse she is watching dancing on ice

Way off topic but got stuck watching an"elite" sport today as the top 2 football teams played and couldnt score a goal , still all the players had nice haircuts, compare that to a night at the speedway only one winner there.

Same happened at workington often wondered if the rugby needed permission to dig up the track, still at least we didnt have to pay for a new stadium.

If so no more wet track meetings at brum
