Edinburgh website still showing the monarchs at the showground this coming Sunday.

A very interesting statistic Arnie, let's hope this dry weather lasts for another month!

I know I sound like a broken record. At the rate the sport is declining in this country, what crowd levels will be attending speedway by the time this venue gets built.

you and many others.

I noticed that iwade put an advert in the british masters grasstrack programme on Sunday. It's good to keep the venue alive in the public eye.

if the eagles can pull in the same crowds as mildenhall for NL racing mike, they will be well pleased.

Maybe the panthers will join the eagles in the NL next season!

i totally agree with you, I hated 2nd halves when I was a kid. I used to watch them at Wimbledon because I lived close to the stadium. The 2nd halves at wembley were pretty special because they used to invite a couple of top riders to compete in them most weeks, that was enough to tempt my old man to stay and watch them.

hi Jon, there have been quite a few of these turn up on ebay over the years. They don't seem to fetch too much money, you just have to be patient, like me!

So with kent considering their future, eastbourne looking like having no future and all the uncertainty surrounding rye house. These are very bleak times for speedway fans in the south east.

Will Len make a better go of it at rye now that kent's curfew extension has been turned down.

From a selfish point of view I don't mind the 6.30 start time, but for the club to progress it needs PL racing. The sooner, the better.

Your original post had a sad face at the end instead of a smiley.

Romford speedway, I remember it well. Nice stadium, huge crowds and a scary track!

I agree he is a bit of a one track pony, but his win over Adam roynon at the showground on Sunday must rank as one of his best ever rides away from the launch pad.

I'd be surprised to see garrity at rye next year and can you honestly see uncle Len giving Bowen the boot.

Ray wilson's track record from Easter Monday 1970 never got beaten. I remember lofqvist winning a race on his debut but I think ronnie Moore beat him twice on his way to a maximum. Anyway back to Hyde road, great track sorely missed!

i didn't realise rye house had a team manager shads!!

It is a valid question, if it's a yes vote will Berwick rangers join the English football league!

i saw a lot of harrfeldt at wembley in 71, lofqvist was the top man at west ham in my era.

Len sat near me in the grandstand for the whole meeting at the showground yesterday. Very unusual for a promoter not to be with his riders in the pits.

I totally agree with you, custom house was the Hyde road of the south. The bends were taken in for jack young's benefit in the mid 1950's. My mum told me this, I was not born at the time!. My first visit to west ham was in May 1970.

Friend of yours is he!!!

A decent meeting today despite the farcical attempts to repair the air fence, these delays are what annoy fans the most. The Bowen & roynon clash in heat 8 was a cracker, it's a shame more people weren't there to see it.

the cheap option!!!
