Sounds like Briggo's early days!

Years ago on here, there was a discussion on here about "the greatest of all-time", and it was amazing how many people just went for riders they'd seen. I made the point about Jack Young specifically. He retired before I was born, so no, I didn't get to see him, but I did state that it wouldn't prevent me from including him with the very best. Same with Farndon, Huxley, and Duggan...

I just did a comparison... In 1981, it cost me £10 for a seat at the Wembley World Final. A tenner then is the equivalent of £56 today - so yes, those ARE ridiculous prices... -

I don't think we can actually start an actual section; we would have to ask Phil if he could set it up in the "Years Gone By" section. However, it would be easy just to start a stats thread, which obviously, knowing the weird stuff people post/ask, would remain active.

Um, that would be the Fray Bentos factory I mentioned...
