They say the cream always rises to the top - and Speedway Star is still with us - that should mean something. Having said that I do remember reading the Mail under the bed clothes as a kid with a torch and a good read it was too.

Typical Scot :roll: :clown

It's good to see a bit of interest developing in this thread - no-one's correct yet, but I can tell you it's not a common name.

I was also at the three World Finals Midnight Lady went to, as well as a European Final around that time, and like ML can still picture walking up Wembley Way towards the towers. Wembley always had something very special about it. Even if you walked into the stadium when it was empty it had atmosphere! The greenness of the grass always amazed me and the twin towers symbolised the "stadium of legends." It's a truely sad day in the history of not only speedway, but sport in this country and worldwide too. It's a crying shame the towers couldn't be preserved in some way (after all the Yanks bought London Bridge and had it shipped over there a few years ago). Wembley Stadium RIP - and thanks for the memories.

Thanks for keeping quiet on this one Ian. OK CH you have a few more days. Anyone else want to have a guess (or does anyone actually know)?

Ooooh Mama Mia.

Honey asks - how can an old Abba hit hurt him?

It was probably called an 'inn' back in those days. Plenty of space to tie up the horse outside Shazzy, do you wanna team up against this honey bloke?

I'm sure after buying nine - yes nine - tickets to Stansted which were all rendered worthless with no refund or transfer available Papa would have said something much stronger than that!

Not sure how to take that Jo. ;-)

Small print reads . . . . Please bring own food ! Please bring pilots licence ! No seriously, have used them 6 times, and thus far OK ! You wouldn't have said that if you were stranded in Strasbourg last week with me!

A Coventry sponsor morelike ;-)

It's quiz time. I've been looking through some old Speedway Stars and found an article on the great man. So much has been said and written about him, and let's be honest if it wasn't for him you wouldn't be reading this now, but does anyone know what the S stands for? I do - answer in a few days - unless someone else knows and allegedly not a lot of people do know this! Have a guess.

I hope that's not shattered your illusions Addy!

Top of St Martins hill opposite where Nobby Tilbury used to live in Querns Road. Old Crusader Jake Rennison used to be Landlord some time ago. St Martins Hill is on the road to Sandwich as you go out of the City past the old Crown Court and Prison. Yep. I know it - I used to drink in there during my college days would you believe.

Sincere thanks to everyone for their help - and particular thanks to Peter - Cheers Mates.

Be very careful that you read all the small print with Ryan Air before booking - and there's a lot of small print to read :!:

Leigh Adams @ 16/1 - could be worth a flutter :!:

Where is the Mill House pub - I've never heard of it.

Quite likely Addy, as should the BSPA, but I was hoping a fellow slider could help out as I've tried the BSPA who returned my email saying that the request had been passed on to the relevant person - but that was it. Does anyone know if Pete Toogood has a email addy?

Division Two 1994 A Match Long Eaton v Swindon B Match Long Eaton v Swindon A Match Swindon v Long Eaton B Match Swindon v Long Eaton Scores required if anyone could help please.

Take a look at the Kingsmead site if you get time Norbold - It'll bring a tear to your eye.

Well that would be one way of keeping us all warm wouldn't it Good thinking CH and perhaps we could BBQ some sausages over her too.

You have one chance to redeem yourself Shazzy - that will be on November 5th. And remember Barney scares you - and he won't be impressed! ;-)
