And there was also that one horrible season , 71 i think , when rider control dragged him screaming and kicking down to your lot Spin King . Happily the following year he was back where he belonged . And your right i don't think there is a photograph in existance with Charlie smiling .

My first speedway hero Mr Charles Monk . He was supposed to come over to Glasgow for our 60th anniversary meeting , but sadly suffered an accident when he fell off a roof shortly before being due to come over . Mr maximum Monk is revered in Glasgow and although always seemed stern and aloof will always be remembered as one of the greatest ever Glasgow Tigers . We even forgive that unexplicable decision to go over to the dark side late on in his career .

Or anybody else . You got a problem with scotty boy or something subedei . -
His career never really hit the heights . Left the tigers and ended up with the monarchs - says it all really . Was in attendance at Glasgow's 60th anniversary meeting in September .

Cheers for that Kev . Glasgow didn't exactly set the heather on fire in those days , but as it is now , it was great fun following them up and down the country .

While we are on a Canterbury theme - i made my one and only trip to Kingsmead in May 1978 . I was just a teenager so the memory of that night has faded . But the match concerned was a Canterbury v Glasgow league match . It was on the same day as Ipswich beat Arsenal 1-0 in the Fa cup final cause i remember watching that in the hotel . Glasgow , i remember got a hiding , 50-28 i think and i'm sure there was an altercation on track between Merve Janke and one of the home riders . Can anybody give me details of the points scorers that night if possible . The following day we went to Mildenhall and suffered an even bigger doing 55-23 i think with Derek Richardson being the only race winner .

Doesn't matter what era whether recent or in the distant past , but any trip over to the east of Scotland and the Tigers stuffing the Monarchs is my perfect night's speedway .

Who Will Be World Champ In 2007?
Paulco replied to a topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
No i think being left out last year was the kick up the a**e Hans needed . He obviously took a hard look at himself and what we saw in 2006 is the rider he was always capable of being . He now knows he belongs at the top table of the speedway world and i really think it will turn into a great battle between Hans and Jason next year - with the new main Dane just edging it . But as fans what a treat we are in for . -

What Gp's Are You Going To In 2007?
Paulco replied to SCB's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
She'll love every minute Snapper . I took my 11 year old daughter this year and she was awestruck . She is used to watching speedway at Ashfield along with just a few hundred people . Take plenty of money to run the gauntlet of airhorn and flag sellers . And after last Friday i suspect it will be a Danish flag for 2007. -
Never mind talking about another club in Scotland or Wales as South coast robin mentions - how the hell does it seem impossible now to have a club in the nations capital . It's criminal that there isn't a thriving league club in London .
-
We did have another team in Scotland (briefly in the mid-seventies ) at Paisley , but that quickly folded . Geographically we are too far north to support any more sides - the three that have been mentioned struggle to crack the 1000 barrier as it is . Plus being this far north the travelling expenses paid out to riders is huge and it is a tough task to attract them in the first place .

Best GP of the season . Nicki P was a worthy winner on the night , but has any televised sport had a more clueless commentator . That effort in the final was a joke . -
