  1. Too true.... I'm watching the 'Sky Sorts No News' channel at the moment. It's better viewing when the adverts come on!!!
  2. To me, Mark was the pioneer who took the power of the Internet to Wolves fans. The fans communication age started with him. He created a 'family' that could meet via the keyboard or talk traditionally at the first step of the middle terrace above the starting gate. The management could never embrace this and even the building of that concrete monolith couldn't beat the Wolfcry crowd. Die hard Wolves fans were lost to the sport but Mark's legacy remains. Once, I went to Wombourne and Mark drove me to Poole. We chatted all the way and settled the dust in a Pub in the New Forest. It's the only time I wished the Dorset trek could have been longer! My life was the richer for meeting him. The politics of Speedway hurt him... the sport didn't. I said Speedway, Bob Dylan and the odd beer or two kept me going. He understood that. We have lost a gifted teacher - Gods' Internet has just gone up a level. RIP Mark. May you never be forgotten.
  3. Do we have to wait for Cheltenham Races to finish before any BCD announcements are made?
  4. I predict Jack Grealish will be 'fell discluded' in Heat: One.
  5. Whats the car park charge for Colts meetings?
  6. Best news I've heard this year. Got fined once... not gone back.... a promoter with sense.... could be a break thru'.... I've Stopped shopping at Tesco and drinking Banks' beer as well... they caused this... not the speedway.... which only over ran by 20 min
  7. Don't blame / put the pressure on Nicol... I've been raised on: Holmqvist Airey Hunter (Norman) Olsen Ermolenko Lindgren.... (Not Woffinden... yet...) #1 should draw the crowd and be paid (very) well. If CVS says it's Sam M. Then Sam... it's your choice.... - keep a lower average and ride both divisions. .. Or make 13 &Ht 15 home & away your own?? I reckon you can do it
  8. Hope to be there or..... (somewhere near in 2028)
  9. Had exactly the same with the 'brown envelope'. Our postie would hand it to me if I was outside working on car repairs etc. Finally he asked if I knew Mike , four roads away who had the same delivery? I replied is that Mike at.... giving his full address? Postie says 'yes!'. I then said 'yep, I see him at the speedway every week - it's the Speedway Star magazine!!! Regarding disposal. I don't. Star goes into old photocopier paper boxes and go up in the loft. Full set from mid fifties to date! Saves on loft insulation. The covers get chucked with the charity bags I get! '
  10. Yes they are. See Wolves website. In fact "Parrys International" are getting more of my money than Speedway these days! Me and the better half did a Liverpool Concert trip with them last week. Well organised and great value for money. (BSPA take note!). The drivers' have a good style over the coach microphones. It would be good to hear Tom & Andy cover a speedway meeting
  11. Was he referring to the teams in the Premiership or the Wolves team!!!!
  12. Could we drop to the Championship with that team then? Seriously though... It wouldn't be a team to win the playoffs but would hold its own at home. It's still a better option than squeezing an Old Spoon in
  13. Perhaps the £1.50 car park charge for using a field could be reduced for all drivers?
  14. Build it on the old 'Toys Am We' site at Oldbury, M5 J2 then?
  15. Once a Spoon..... always a Spoon.... Although Jan Simenesen rode for us, them & the Flea's.
  16. There was speculation that Dudley Zoo was the first Zoo in Britain. Prior to that they were all called 'Zoological Gardens'. But Dudley doesn't understand 'logical', so dropped it! Seriously though the freight depot would be a great site to use.
  17. Give it time..... perhaps 'til July
  18. It's a shame the stadium wasn't moved to the Black Country Museum. Gents bogs without a roof and spitfire nose cones would frighten the youngsters nowadays!
  19. On a trip to Victorville, Ca to watch speedway in the 80's the group I was with took the opportunity to visit the Roy Rogers & Dale Evans museum. Trigger was on display in the museum. He had been stuffed and mounted in a raised position. You could tell he was male!
  20. Will Jacob be out on his MotoX this winter?
  21. They could ride until the GP''s start. That would see us into the PSC Final
