I can open it at work, but not on either PC at home. A PDF version would be useful. All the best Rob

After Mike left Oxford, he always seemed to give the Oxford fans a hard time whether we were. Then, at Wimbledon around 1991 (where we were stood partially under the main complex), there was a massive echo that amplified any noise made by the fans. It was revenge time, as we took the mickey out of Mike Bennett between every race. By Heat 15, he was stood as far as possible away from us, in the opposite corner of centre green, almost toppling onto the speedway track. We had fun that night. All the best Rob

In cycling, the level of technology is far greater than it is in speedway. All the best Rob

The presenter. I think. Who's the one at Leicester who waffles on forever about rubbish. I switched off very quickly to listening to him last time at Leicester, which is why I'm a bit vague. I much preferred the tractor driver who was going around at around 0.05mph, at which point Glyn Taylor jumped into the tractor and pushed the other guy aside! That was much more entertaining!! All the best Rob Nonsense. Yorkie got the whole crowd buzzing at Oxford in the 1980s. Actually those days, we were buzzing even before he started. But he got us going even more. As general manager at Birmingham, a co-promoter at Oxford, and manager of the BSPA, he's probably the most knowledgeable mic man there's ever been. We never gave Yorkie any stick. We treated his sucessor at Cowley, Mike Bennett, slighlty less kindly (I think poor old Mike, who isn't that bad to be fair, lists his time at Oxford as one of the low points of his time in speedway). All the best Rob

Yorkie is a legend - stop talking rot. One presenter who truly knows masses about the sport. Knows his speedway inside out, does Yorkie! Worst announcer has to be that guy at Leicester, he's awful. All the best Rob

Rob G announced on Monday it would be contested by the top six from each side. In which case, it's the traditional Rider Of The Night format, which was 3 qualifying races, and then a final contested by the 3 heat winners, plus the fastest second place rider (the announcer used to give two times for the three qualifying races, one for the winner and one for the second place rider). All the best Rob

Don't talk daft. It's up to the team manager to spot while the two mintues is still on. If the yellow lights are flashing, then get the rider on the track pronto. Quite often, a rider will be given a minute or so even though 30 seconds remains, if the ref can see the rider is on their way. Don't give up until that rider's exclusion light has come on. All the best Rob

I've heard it all now :rofl: Are you for real? The centre green presenter is there to keep the fans informed and to add a little in the overall entertainment stakes. With his inner knowledge of speedway and irreverent and witty style, Rob G certainly fits those critieria. Most centre green presenters are a little bland; Mr Godfrey is certainly not that. And if you seriously think any ref is actually going to be influenced by something said over the mic, then I don't know quite what to say. I'd be slightly more concerned, if I were you, over the lack of any tactical rides on Monday. All the best Rob

Shadders, if you've seen TJ fly around as many opponents as I have around the EWR, you'd be aware that doesn't really fit. No, Thomas Jorgensen is Tommy The Gun. Tommy Allen will just have a get new nickname. Not sure what it should be. In Olly's case it would be easy. It would just be Olly Allen R/R, because that's what most people think his name actually is, because that's what normally appears in the programme. All the best Rob
