A few years back when I was watching the speedway at Auburn in California they started with three heats of quad bike racing. The track coped with that and possibly helped the grading.

Coming in a bit late to this topic. From a Wolves perspective I had utmost respect for Nigel Boocock. He was unbeatable round the Green in the late 60's. Then Norman Hunter came along and beat him three times in one night. He became a top Wolf that night. So sad that damn meeting in Prestatyn happened. Nowadays (until C-19 happened) I get the chance to take the dogs to Barkby beach and drive right past the Holiday Camp where the track was. Shame Pontlditz wasn't built earlier.

Hang on...... Mr Wolf has been updated to a Sylvester the Cat look-a-like!!! .... and Porky Spoon has halved his weight!!!! Fair point though

.... and renamed it the 'Grand-SON'

Any thoughts on the 3:30pm start time for both of the Belle Vue meetings.

Wow... having the 2020 proggy gives you a complete collection of every British Speedway meeting run... so far....

Hi folks, had this from ‘Gornal Wolf’. Thought this was worth putting up for others to have a go at. Speedway Anagrams: All of these have been Wolves heat leaders: 1: enough regret 2: alison designes 3: prevented banger 4: ended girlfriend 5: lone sloe 6: Korean moslem 7: wet mom amnesty 8: dominika racks 9: enrico ornery 10: hyde anagram And some easier ones for any Cradley fans looking in. 1: Pruce Benhall 2: Bvor Irown 3: Toy Rigg 4: Polin Cratt 5: Hilly Bamill Enjoy

Too true.... I'm watching the 'Sky Sorts No News' channel at the moment. It's better viewing when the adverts come on!!!

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.

Sadly ask former Rye House riders

Do we have to wait for Cheltenham Races to finish before any BCD announcements are made?

Is it classed as a deferred success?

I predict Jack Grealish will be 'fell discluded' in Heat: One.

Whats the car park charge for Colts meetings?

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

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

Hope to be there or..... (somewhere near in 2028)

.... and lost the Final with ease

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! '

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

Was he referring to the teams in the Premiership or the Wolves team!!!!

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

Perhaps the £1.50 car park charge for using a field could be reduced for all drivers?

Build it on the old 'Toys Am We' site at Oldbury, M5 J2 then?

Once a Spoon..... always a Spoon.... Although Jan Simenesen rode for us, them & the Flea's.
