Not that I disagree with the above, but I find it amusing that the "SWC" has been around for years (under that name), yet every year it's a totally different format!

I'd tell him that you are Peter Collins, and want to get a couple of hundred copies for your mates for nothing...

Ah, I'm so glad you mentioned that! I almost did earlier! Yeah, I loved watching that...

When it comes to things like that, very few accounts are true, preferring to let personal opinions get in the way of facts!

Strangely enough, while I am an avid reader of non-fiction, biographies/autobiographies are one of my least favourite subjects. I have a number of biographies about the composer Frederick Delius (I find him a fascinating individual), but other than that, I have read very few. As far as speedway goes, the only ones I have read are Briggo (the original), Kenny Carter, Tommy Jansson, and Chum Taylor.

Hmmm... Not a show I remember? Then again, I was only 3 or 4 at the time...

And Anders Michanek caused problems in the weightlifting. Because he is round-shouldered, he was physically unable to lift the bar the same as other competitors.

You're just biased, Steve...

Funny, I was thinking that myself...

Who has the biggest arse, though?

Agree... "Another Rock and Roll Christmas" is still one of my all-time seasonal faves. I'm a little torn, but I still listen to his greatest hits.

There are probably some in a hole, too...

Why don't you write one yourself?

I only went there once, on Royal Wedding Day in 1981. Simmons and Anderson Eriksson got a last heat 5-1 over Joe Owen and Billy Sanders to a draw!

The Boulevard at Hull was the one that scared me because of how narrow it was!

Funny thing is, I went to Oxford many, many times, but was never over-impressed with it. Same as Ippo.

Several - if not all - the GP's are available on YouTube, so if you can get software to download them, that's always an option.

Steve: they have the single most important thing - a TRACK...

I've been to many of these over the years; great fun!

Thanks again!

Yeah, I was reading about that a few weeks ago. It amazes me how much cool stuff gets neglected and/or forgotten...

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

I went to the athletics once, in 1976, with a couple of schoolmates. It was sponsored by Philips, and they had a hut with some TV's in. My mates went in, and they had the 1976 World Pairs Final on! They called me in, and I was the 100th person to go in, and I won a free radio!

Your know, as close as I lived to the park, I've never been there! Probably because I never had any historic information...
