  7. Probably not. We had the same with Greg Hancock a few years ago and we bought him kevlars too!
  8. Hi Neil Will set up a "Previous Editions" sub head and load 2024/25 back numbers on to it. I'm not very "techie" so it could burst file sizes etc.
  9. Should be The Man! You'll not be surprised to know I'm waiting for a cataract operation. Duly amended.

  18. It has the added benefit of giving Grahn and Polis a free go at Ashfield ahead of the BSN meeting there in May.
  19. Away wins look to be at a premium and Glasgow look weak at reserve away from home.
  20. Again! although the last time our meeting was at Edinburgh on the Friday.
  21. https://classicspeedwaymemories.webador.co.uk/january-2025/not-a-young-mans-game-in-scotland-in-the-1960s Very few teenagers riding for teams in the 60s. Not until the Second Division started up with youngsters like Jessup and Thomas going a team place. Whatever became of Tony George?

  23. BSPL website shows Friday May 30 as being Edinburgh v Glasgow (Provisional). There is no reference anywhere to a date for the Glasgow v Edinburgh tie
  24. And only a couple of free Fridays for KO Cup and BSN progression, never mind rain offs. Right now there seems to be no date for our home leg of the cup tie against Edinburgh, should they beat Workington.
  25. Yes, unfortunately he did.
