Is there anyone who has got the scorers from the other matches in this series please?

Did Team GB ride any Test Matches during the 2003 Season - I seem to remember a one off match but can't find any details?

Once again, thanks very much Peter - you're a star.

Thanks Peter, that's brilliant - would I be pushing my luck to ask you to post the teams they were riding for at the time?

I only need 1991, 93 and 94 now if anyone could help, please?

Let's hope so Rod - what we need is Tony Mole to take a look at it.

It was explained on this forum once that the promoter at the time wasn't an astute businessman, although he loved his speedway. It was alleged that he never applied to extend the planning permission beyond the 1987 season and once it had lapsed, Canterbury Council declined to renew it. And is the site now too near a built up area to be revitalised? it looks as if the layout is still intact but it's difficult to see what there is around it. Kingsmead is only a mile or so from the City centre and is located in a built up area, however, at a guess, 50% is industrial or retail usage. I'm sure with the advances over the years in noise reduction, the return of speedway wouldn't be a real problem for local residents but what their reaction, or the councils for that matter, may be I've no idea. The supporter base is definately there and any prospective promoter who could obtain the relevant permission, would I'm sure, be rewarded with extremely good attendance levels. However, as you have seen from the photos, a stadium would have to be built from scratch and therefore would involve a fairly high investment. I have a dream that one day the roar of Speedway bikes will return to Canterbury and there have been a few rumours over the years but no real actions. Anyone with a few thousand pounds to spare could do far worse than look at re-introducing Speedway to Canterbury.

Could someone please post the riders and their points scored in the following PLRC meetings please:- 1991, 1993, 1994, 2001 and 2002. Many thanks in advance.

Jimmy Squibb was certainly no spring chicken when he rode for Canterbury - does someone know how old he actually was?

Peter Collins was always superb around Plough Lane and I also remember a breathtaking debut in the Internationale by Billy Sanders.

I'm being very picky here, but haven't you missed Sebastian Ulamek @ Wolverhampton in 2000?

You have to buy a programme to know that though Gem.

Trust you to post it.

She can't help herself can she?

I don't think that part was him somehow.

21 minutes - well done Grachan.

Now there's a blast from the past - does anyone remember the TV commercial that Arthur did - 10 Browning, sorry Brownie points if you can name it.

So let me get this right - his real name is Mark Annoying????

So I guess that means he's now Gaz Middleton?

Dunno Gem, but you can bet Poole have signed him by now!

Congratulations Lubos - I hope we see a lot more of you at Sandy lane this season.

Addy!!!!! I trust you are aware of the Aussie meaning of the word "rooting"????? Looks like Joanne's got a rival.

It wasn't rundown TT, it had character.
