eddie kennett, I've seen him practicing after meetings at Central Park this season.

EL at kent on Fridays, where does that leave lakeside.

i was a regular at wembley in 1970/71 for the lions revival seasons. I was only a nipper, but the memories haven't faded!

they still turn up on ebay every now and again, they usually sell for about £100.

If you live local it's not a chore, but I have a 120 mile round trip to Arlington. A good way to improve things would be to have the first race dead on start time and the parade 15 minutes earlier. Football matches rarely kick off late, do they?

A few years ago a 1928 glasgow (celtic park) programme sold for £1000, I'm sure at the time it was the only one known to exist. Walthamstow's short season from 1934 usually hit the £400 mark!. I have a members badge from that year in my own collection which is mega rare.

the problem is Michael, like a well known promoter in the south east said not so long ago. 'It's my toy, I will play with it how I like'.

i'm not knocking our sport, just reflecting how I feel after a days work!

i totally agree with you. It's about time the promotion told the fans the truth, no matter how unpleasant it might be.

What a shocking statement. It's a good job some of us fans are still up for it, otherwise the sport would be no more!

Young, energetic and enthusiastic rules me out then!

Well done for trying to get some answers. As a lifelong Wimbledon fan, I would hate to see the robins go the same way as the dons!

As I get older I get less tolerant about most things in life, this includes long delays at speedway meetings. Most of my mates feel the same way, so I am not unique. The rapidly shrinking speedway fan base is mostly made up of older people, so it might be an idea for the promoters to run a slicker show, to stop us dying of boredom!

It was a poor meeting last night, but to be fair, the track rode a lot worse than it looked!

What will happen if gaming international walk away. Will the abbey remain in place, or be demolished with no new stadium built.

Looks dry for Fridays re staging date.

to be honest with you, 2006 seems like a lifetime ago in speedway terms. Reading and oxford were still in the EL then.

never a truer word spoken!

An awful meeting today, which crawled along at a snails pace. The crowd was poor, and to those that stayed away, lucky you!

There must be a deadline for work to begin on the new stadium. Won't swindon have to declare at the BSPA conference their intention to run next season.

i said the same thing to my mate tonight. It was a really nasty crash and brad was lucky to walk away with only minor injuries.

i agree, well done to the council for protecting belle vue's heritage. Here in london, once the power base of british speedway, our famous clubs were just left to die.

you not going eastie shads.

I wonder if another season at the abbey is on the cards.

i totally agree with you. Both of my kids were keen speedway fans that have been to loads of tracks. Now they are heavily into football and never mention speedway. Who wants to stand in an empty stadium with poor facilities, watching a poor product that no one has heard of. I bet none of my kids mates know what speedway is.
