  1. Good Luck to the juniors riding in the demonstration races at Cardiff from Jayne, Richard and everyone at Buxton Speedway.
  2. Can anyone give me the details for the Lonigo website Thanks
  3. Thanks Neil - Yes we do Any ideas how far it is from the airport then?
  4. Laurence - do you know what time the meeting starts and which is the nearest airport?
  5. Sorry Shazzy the point I was trying to make was that you can have a doctor or paramedic here. To add to whoever said that there was just one paramedic at Prague, there was obviously an ambulance and crew as well. Some may argue they should have been on the track but as happens here in the UK the medical staff are not always on track, some referee will insist on this and others won't.
  6. Marvellous - that makes sense....... NOT!! How can you run a GP like that?? AFAIK for EL meetings you must have two qualified first aiders at each end, an ambulance and a doctor. Obviously there is often more cover than this For all meetings in the UK you are required to have one medical officer (paramedic/doctor), one ambulance, one driver, one attendant and two first aiders.
  7. He was known as 'Kermit' at B'ham and was a favourite with the Brummies fans. A sad day when he was killed, remember his wife and daughter visiting Perry Barr afterwards. Never heard him called 'Demon' though.
  8. I think that we've taken the easy option and booked thru travel plus. Thought the tickets were quite expensive at £46 tho
  9. Yes I heard that too he apparently fell through some sort of glass door or window ( my memory is a bit vague) I too loved watching the 'jellyman' at Perry Barr. They were the good old days :!: :!:
  10. I have not forgotten what he did and certainly do not condone it but I was trying to put it nicely. Noone will know for certain what drove him to do it and what effect it has had on his children and his wife's family and friends and it is certainly not for me to say but obviously he must have had 'problems' to resort to these tragic actions. I was not intending to be crass or offend anyone but he must have been a very desperate man.
  11. Kenny was a great rider whose life was cut short through personal problems. He was outspoken and not afraid to make enemies but he was proud to be English and always rode his heart out. He was a rider you either loved or hated, nothing in between and his death was a great loss to Speedway. He would have surely been World Champ in different circumstances.
  12. I also think that this is a fantastic book. I was never an Erik fan but was there on that fateful day at Bradford and can honestly say that I have never forgotten it - I can still see the crash in my mind. I followed Erik's progress after the accident in both the speedway and local press. The book is very moving and I shed a tear or two whilst reading it. I too went to his farewell meeting and he very kindly signed my book for me as best as he could. Erik has fought back from his horrendous injuries and you can only admire him for it and I wish him all the best. It is nice to know that he has rebuilt his life and has a new challenge ahead in teaching.
