Belle Vue Aces – A Night at the Ice Hockey
Lefty replied to BarracudaAce's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Many years ago, quite a few Wolves fans would follow 'Telford Tigers' Ice Hockey team in the winter months. A trip to 'Altrincham Aces' was always on the agenda. The sport had many Speedway parallels then... a limit on "Canadian Heat Leaders" and some dodgy patriality claims! Geat times. Plus the M6 had much less traffic on it in the winter... but then 'orange road cones' were invented! -
Why is speedway in decline?

Yep... In Oldbury the 'Toys R Us' is known as 'Toys Am We' 😁 -
Sat 13 July 1985: 1.9 billion people world wide watched Live Aid. I was at Hyde Rd watching Wolves lose 49-29 to Belle Vue! Speedway Meetings were also staged that night at: Coventry, King's Lynn, Swindon, Berwick & Canterbury. Cradley 'Spoons' v Oxford was rained off. Not sure if it was strategic!!!

Stars vs Witches - 18th May - POSTPONED
Lefty replied to SuperStarsFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
With "Hose-Pipe-atawny Phil" deciding if the track is fit to ride on. 🤔 -
What... Bradley Walsh has lost his job? 😂

Correct. The 'Tree' ought to consider - Attack the post... not the poster. I won't get my Speedy Star til sometime next week when Postie Pat does the honours, then i can see the full article. I hope Phil wasn't called a 'keyboard warrior' !!! From my working life i learnt - nothing travels faster than a rumour! PTA has a good track record. Keep posting.

Len Silver promoted Hackney on a Friday night. On the same Friday night 'Nel Revlis' promoted Sunderland.... so my money woukd be on Kram Nomel' promoting, with 'Brady Bewley' & 'Dan Kurtz' as the spearheads for Northampton Spades!!! 🤣

Could The PL / GP supremo be looking for a "Major Hose-Pipe" manufacturer to come on board as a main sponsor, with the vision of major TV coverage in the future? ☂️😃

Sad to hear this. Les rode for Wolves in 1981 and both him and Bruce Cribb were great with the younger riders. RIP Les.

How about 'Northants Ants'

And its three days after Groundhog Day!, so is it the BSPL equivalent where they live the AGM over and over again untill they get the 'PL - Premier League' right? Or do they just give up and rename it the 'NVL - No Variety League' 🤔
-
How about a combined venture involving Northampton & Ipswich which could run as Northwich. The only problem is sat-nav would send fans to Cheshire and we would probably be looking for a track at Oulton Park!!! 🤔

If he's someone who has 'robbed innocent, elderly, vulnerable people', then does it mean he qualifies to stand as a Member of Parliament? . 🤔

He woukd have ridden under an alias, Jake Pegg, to avoid a backlash from this forum. Perhaps Freddie Dreamer could be used for another option?

Are they joining the Premier League in 2026?

What will 2026 UK speedway bring?
Lefty replied to Lionsman66's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Is it time to rename the Premiership as The NVL, - aka - 'The 'No Variety League' ? -
Sadly due to 'Royal Snail', it will be another five to seven days before I can read it. 📖
