early 80s

speedway is rarity for me now, but when i've been the old excitement is there, from the racing to seeing people i know, a couple more meetings this year for me and i'm looking forward to them. if only more lapsed supporters gave it another go ...

U21 team final (SoN/pairs) is at Bydgoszcz in september, that'll be good for them

last time buster had to deal with something like this Batchelor & Holder were on their way

watch it on catchup, that way you can fast forward the racing and watch the adverts

after the GP Qualifier at Glasgow they deserve the challenge

he's good for early news about weather changes

with the right sort of guidance there's definitely a future, but they need to be riding on some of these continental tracks more often

i hope Adam can put on a good show, one of the nice guys in the sport with talent too

reminded me of Exeter (without the banking), used to plenty of grip there and they loved a large drop of water

This was at an U23 meeting a couple of weeks ago, the racing was actually pretty good

SGP website says 4pm

Basso was reserve for the Danish U23 team in Germany a couple of weeks ago and had a couple of rides .. looked ok, but this was on a 400m track, i would say about the level of Leon Flint at the moment

i just wonder if the team sport in the UK is being run down to a 'survival of the fittest' and work around that with one league and enough riders to fill the slots. allowing clubs to fold a bit too easy recently

i think possibly it's the SCB that's revoked permission, who stands on the SCB board these days?

when the British final was a route in the world championship

definitely 'taking the P'

tracks i never rode at but wish i had .. Bradford, Bydgoszcz (Exeter went not long after i packed in), Coventry, Swindon, Cradley

BSPL carrying out their threat maybe

between Bewley, Ellis and Lawson. and Tom Brennan should have got the call-up, 100%

didn't he ride in British finals then? he was based in Manchester

body language on the bike in GPs says maybe not

it was simple but fair

rattle the box with 4 coloured ball in to determine gate positions, had that years ago in 2nd halves and was the fairest way
