  1. Is it part of the Supplementary, Complementary And Regulatory Explanation (SCARE) that is for Promoters only? It must be adhered to until Poole find the relevant loophole / exemption! It helps encourage the greater use of guests and further dilutes team bonding that the fans want.
  2. Could King's Lynn and Plymouth swap divisions?
  3. You lucky bugger missing the Vojens GP and seeing live speedway racing. The only consolation for me is watching the tennis and knowing Lewis Hamilton will not win BBC Sports Personality of the Year!
  4. I heard a Makem suggested that sports designated land at NE1 4ST is currently not being used.
  5. I asked my chum if he was going to watch King''s Lynn tonight. He replied, "not sure" as he thinks it's not King''s Lynn but another Championship Select line-up with riders from Plymouth, Newcastle, Birmingham, Eastbourne , Scunthorpe, Newcastle & Berwick!!! Also not sure if it's the KL rising stars, fading stars or just Stars? But he hopes to recognise the riders easier as they will be in non matching team leathers! Either way we can chat about it in the Pub afterwards. We feel at home there because there is always three guest beers on!
  6. Welland, Canada 1996. Did the Paris meeting the night before. Made the short journey to Welland. It was bright sunshine one hour before the start. We went into the bar and wow, did it rain!!! Looked out and the track vanished under water! Haven't made it back there... yet!
  7. Does the absent heat leader and a missing Ht:15 rider at Leicester have any influence on 'Northern Clubs' views??
  8. Possibly... Call the meeting a Grand Prix and it would have been ridden with just an hours delay!!!!
  9. How about the riders riding under an alias in the other league: So for PL Wolves and the other CL teams: Sam Masters = Dan Plasters Broc Nicol = Don Pickle Rory Schlein = Rick Stein Luke Becker = Duke Pecker Nick Morris = Dick Wallace Ryan Douglas = Bryan Mugless Leon Flint = Don Skint. So team integrity and street credibility restored.... simple
  10. Is it time for the other riders to go down on bended knee? "JUSTICE FOR CONNOR"
  11. Belle Vue (Hyde Rd). Halifax (Shay). Sheffield (70's). San Bernadino, Ca (80''s track). Mount Gambia (Sth Australia, Tapp Series).
  12. Dave Gifford, Tom Leadbitter, Bill Powell, Ken Eyre, Bruce Cribb. The 'Wolves' riders who put the 'team' into team Speedway. They made the team jacket proud. The engine room behind the stars.
  13. He can now officially write '(Kent)' after his name.
  14. I remember a long time ago standing outside in a rain shower and a Speedway Meeting broke out.
  15. Yes, because top division league racing could then be staged on a Saturday night in the UK. Happy times visiting K Lynn, Coventry, Belle Vue, Halifax / Bradford, Swindon etc .... oh and Cradley! Without needing time off work.
  16. I was told that when they checked his DNA it came back as the same as that of Marmite. Does that help.?
  17. Good post mikebv. I've suggested to Amazon Prime that the follow up to "Clarkson''s Farm" should be "Grant''s Speedway Track"!
  18. Golly..... is that the same Tim Sugar that 'guest' Team Managed Wolves to an away win at Swindon???
  19. Local TV Central News tonight had the Dudley Town Crier doing his "Oh Yays" as Dudley applies for City status. The Town Crier looked remarkably similar to that of the Wolves centre-green announcer, Porky??? My Wolves chums say, how can Dudley ever claim city status when the Council doesn't want to have a League Football team (they play in Willenhall), a speedway team (remember Cradley) or even a railway station (it closed in the 60's)!!! Other 2021 City status applicants include Milton Keynes (Speedway shut), Reading (Speedway shut) and Swindon (is it an omen?)
  20. Are there any riders missing? After all as we always told how well the track drains etc and it being the TV match?
