no sorry Kev... that's not the one. the meeting above was called the Grand Slam and was in 1987. in 1986 they run a big tourny for juniors and called it the Junior Grand Prix. it was set out that we got a couple of qualifying rounds and the top points scorers went through to a grand final somewhere. my 2nd round was supposed to be at Exeter which i was really looking forward to, but at the last minute it was swapped to Eastbourne :x i had a run-in with Kevin Pitts in my 2nd or 3rd ride at Eastbourne and went head on into the fence, and so missed out on scoring.

better amend your records then Kev... think Rob Tilbury refused to ride after a couple of races too... think i had 5 rides that night as i was one of the few wanting to ride. ok...here's another one for you Kev... do you have the date and records of the junior grand slam/grand prix in 1986? i know i did ok even though i ended up on the footie pitch in one race! i'm after the details so i can see if steve at re-run videos was filming at that time.. it was the first canterbury meeting for ian cox and i think he ended up getting about 8 or 9 rides from reserve!! we still laugh about that meeting cheers

aha!!!! i'm not the only one that thought this then....

after he retired from refereeing then.....

Kev...i take it the reason we only had 6 riders is because Paul Evitts refused to ride? think you had better dig out that suit of armour

just goes to show what i thought of the track in 1987 doesn't it really....

it's not trivial to me though...... :?

there you are...i was beginning to think i had dreamt the whole bloody lot. do you have the details of who rode, Kev? Peterborough included... You did dream it Doughnut :!: It was League not Cup and the one time it was recorded with you in the team and we still "Bloody" lost only joking, Honey you know I was your 3rd biggest fan as far as Hi-jacking goes you carry on, it's nice to see someone actually posting on here and not just sarcasm Kevvie Wevvie someone's gonna need these soon 8) so who were the first 2 then?????

there you are...i was beginning to think i had dreamt the whole bloody lot. do you have the details of who rode, Kev? Peterborough included... by the way... you managed to hijack one of Shazzy's threads not mine, and you know she's gonna come out fighting..

er not really as i can't see my name :roll: i'm sure it was a cup match though...don't think it was a challenge as they would have called it off... more of a feeling it was 86...it was Peterborough, i'm sure!!!

you don't know the answer then? :roll:

can one of the Crusaders fans out there please help? i rode at Peterborough in either 86 or 87 in a cup match i think and we got well and truly turned over. the weather was absolutely terrible and a couple of the riders were refusing to ride (Paul Evitts, Nobby) so i think i had 5 rides. i can't find any records and friends have mine have given me details of all the matches i rode in but this wasn't included. does anyone remember it and have details?

so what is the title music called then??

we just have to hope that Sullivan and Wiltshire don't find their form too in the final! it's not often i shout at the tv, but last night got me going

er...no...never been accused of having a sense of humour, so you could be right there

i don't think i know that one... i like a couple from his 'Brand New Day' album and a few when with the 'Police'

would be interesting to hear your interview in Danish!!

Going Underground... the way tracks are having to close due to complaints and any new ones that open are in the middle of a field

well i brought a cd of pics to Iwade on sunday but you weren't bloody there :roll:

you know what i mean :roll:

thats the 'gate' i was thinking of...

this looks a kind of 'double-negative'.... so are you saying that the squad should have been the above mentioned and some youngsters?

i reckon he looks into this forum too much... eh, middlo???

so i was right then (as in highest placed rider) does that make me an anorak??

Agree about the video footage there Fd, but my head sort of tells me the video footage will just be used as a trailer for the sport on Sky as you say...
