Pleased to see you’re still around 👍

We haven’t even heard anything about what biscuits the promoters had at the AGM

I wouldn’t even eat chips wrapped in the O M!

Would be handy for flying riders in and out!

I always said it was OOFC that started the demise of UK speedway.

Belle Vue, Kings Lynn, Leicester, Sheffield. That’s 4. Any more???

Age has nothing to do with it. Speedway knowledge does.

Can’t believe any speedway fan needs to ask that question.

Peter Craven, without a doubt

Quite similar to F1 - watch the tv ads, highlighting the crashes!

Is this goodbye to Abi? There’s always a silver lining.

Thanks for that, very useful!

There’s little or no affiliation by riders to clubs. A quick look on Wikipedia at two Bees stars… Nigel Boocock, eight clubs, four of which in the latter days winding down his career. Chris Harris, 29 clubs, 16 UK, 13 Overseas. (this post is NOT about guest bookings!) My first years at Brandon, the riders were all locally-based, the furthest away were Ron and Rick in the Black Country! Fans identified with the riders, they identified with the clubs. That’s all gone now. Fly in, ride, fly out to ride for someone else.
