Reviresco

Believe you are spot on there S4K. Jordan has been seen bombing around Foxhall and mighty impressive he looks too both on the bike and in his attention to detail in the Pits area.

Don't know about "Denial" but they may be in the Forth after Friday's PLPOQ2 v the Witches, lol - Apologies, thought I would steer it away from all the "fish" jokes, they were giving me a haddock. (Are we all too nervous about this meeting to start a separate Thread...? I know many Witches fans can envisage 15 x 4-2's.)

Thanks brother from another mother. EDIT: I see that Ryan Fisher has announced his retirement from British speedway from the end of this season.

Thank you, very helpful.

1969 - Romford v Eastbourne.

I thought that the provisional Semi Final dates had been decided as: Somerset home leg (1): Friday 7th October Ipswich home leg (2): Thursday 13th October but not sure where I got that from, possibly BBC Radio Suffolk. Is anyone thinking of going on Friday? I've looked at train (£138), plane (£98) and boat (sunk without trace), so am thinking of driving up, but would hate to be there if Monarchs get those 15 x 4-2's. Scotty, I am guessing that Armadale is a hike both from the airport and the train station? Friday / Saturday travel and accommodation is always more expensive than midweek too. Been looking at a nice little Guest House at Burnham on Sea too, but don't want to tempt fate, lol. EDIT: I understand there is a big four wheeled event at Foxhall on Saturday 8th, so that would knock out a speedway meeting on Thursday 6th too.

Just something that was said to me by one of his relatives. Nothing to do with the Club, who I am sure he would love to ride for.

Never say Never, 1984

I am no expert, 2802, but I understand that Mildenhall, (along with Eastbourne, lol) would be a non-starter despite it being so local.

Says its been done to avoid clashes with televised EL Play Offs and Final, but will allow Dan and Tom Bacon some extra time for sure.

Story circulating that this has been put back a week to 6th October. Can anyone confirm? Should have checked the website first.... http://www.birminghambrummies.co/news.php?extend.2370

Story circulating that Birmingham v Cradley put back a week to 6th October....? Anyone confirm? Happy 50th pete cc, I was born in 1956 so have a Big One next month, lol

That would be an entertaining combination. Mr Danny Ayres and The Massif. The After Show Patty would be pretty mental too with lots of hugs and thumbs up.

Is Claire Balding going to this meeting?

Thanks but I don't think I am pretty, lol. Not a problem anyway as am used to being away on my own and chatting with the locals. Spent a bit of time with the Ayres family after the meeting. What a nice group of people they all are. Must try and fit him in at Foxhall next season if the Witches run PL. Would save Danny a drive to Glasgow for every home meeting.

Oh ok, that was when I was seeking out Mr Chittock who I haven't seen for about 30 years and spent many happy years following the Witches home and away from 75 to 84. Mike taught me to sing backwards, which I had forgotten about until I saw him on Sunday. His wife, Carol, who passed away tragically young was a massive Dennis Sigalos fan and ran his fan club for some time. I had done a circuit before that semi circle. I guess you left straight after the meeting as I hung around for some time after, chatting to Danny and his family and crew, Connor who has incurred a cost of £250 to fly back from holiday on the Thursday to enable him to ride at Armadale on Friday, Nigel Flatman, Kevin, Rob Henry and others. Always been a great part of speedway, being able to mingle after meetings.

And, added to that Sid, the British Pair of Collins and Carter ran into each other in an earlier heat and the referee decided all four back. The referee.....? Australian Sam Bass who never did Billy a favour in his life, also unfairly excluding him under two minutes in the Australasian Final at Liverpool in 1981 leading Billy to fail to make the top four qualifying places by one point?! Remember that Pairs Final also for Hans Nielsen doing a forward roll over the tapes at a start of one heat, lol.

Totally agreed 2802. Enjoyed the old school format of the meeting and 40 - 38 was classic. Didn't see you there baldyman and I toured round the stadium a couple of times. You should have come over and said hello. Also met someone I haven't seen for thirty odd years which made it a special day for me. Great to see you again Mt Chittock and thanks for the choccies.

Yes, always capable of beating any rider in any heat on any track is Cam and should draw confidence from it when he does. And he got beaten by Oystercard and Thomsen in Heat 3, so any heat result can give a false impression. One Heat win does not make a swallow, or something.

And we are all pleased about that - and the many users of the, always brilliant, Updates site will be relieved that, I am assuming, you will be carrying on with it and not wrapping it up at the end of this season (and many apologies, I went to West Row today to watch a new Massif hero, Connor Coles, and the amazing Mr Danny Ayres and did not notice your calls for a texter and I would and could have done if for you, sorry. Even though I met up with somebody that I have not seen for more than 30 years again have got in contact with again via Facebook and my speedway related posts on there. A case in point of Social Media working in the right way.) I also got to hear Mr Presenter doing his thing on the mic and, gee, he is very good at it. We must miss so much by not hearing Kevin clearly where we sit at Foxhall.

Brisbane was big of course too and then there was Claremont which was bigger than a big thing, but Cam has grown up racing at Pinjar which is tiny and, I believe, that on his day and with the right wind behind, there is no finer PL rider around Hoddesdon (bold statement). He remembers nothing of his big one recently at the EoES which is good, but I still don't see that he is a better rider on a big track. Certainly his trip to Owlerton this season backs this up. Still the best wheelies to be seen currently, imo, and better than Danny Ayres one at Mildenhall earlier, lol. Good old Danny.

Will be popping along the A14 to this as I haven't been to Mildenhall for ages and, after Connor Coles magnificent efforts for the Witches on Thursday and having seen him ride for the U23's on the Island, I'd like to see him race again. Connor became an instant fans' favourite with his efforts and commitment and skill at Foxhall. And I remember dear old Bernie Klatt very well, so it would be a nice mark of respect to attend a meeting that contains races in his honour and memory.

And there was me thinking that I saw you wearing a rather natty balloon headgear arrangement on Thursday Sue. Maybe it was your double? And of course people are wrong when they think that Fancy Dress is a "Look at Me" thing. In fact it is quite the opposite and it allows someone like me with little self confidence and self worth, to hide behind a "mask" for a while (and some would say a mask is necessary 24/7). I have always enjoyed Fancy Dress, just for that reason - that you can be someone else tonight Matthew, rather than the really quite ordinary and boring person that I am. EDIT: And I don't know what the others think, but personally I think that the two "Themes" that we have tried - hi-vis and the Buffet, have worked well, but maybe it's just me....? but as we always say, the Massif is totally inclusive and I believe there are no rules or laws or regulations, and everyone can do what they want - as long as they make some Noiz for the Boiz

Thank God for that. I don't think I could stand the wit and the banter Toot Toot. Hope you have seen Stephen Waller's photo of us on the Centre Green on Thursday after the inaugural presentation of the Massif Trophy. Would hate to think you may have missed it: https://www.facebook.com/242468232815304/photos/a.243442652717862.1073741835.242468232815304/252346948494099/?type=3&theater And I should share a picture of the proud recipient with the Massif Trophy in the Pits after the meeting on Thursday: https://www.facebook.com/242468232815304/photos/pcb.251293628599431/251291911932936/?type=3&theater And maybe a picture of the Massif Trophy residing in its home for the next twelve months: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10157509026505164&set=p.10157509026505164&type=3&theater All as a result of the combined efforts, ideas and energy of the "Massif" Yours In Speedway. Get It On, Bang A Gong, or Whistle (and Hum) a Tune whilst Releasing a Balloon. Make Some Noiz for the Boiz. (Some people say that their Dogs look like their Owners. In some cases some BSF Members Nicknames say more about that Member than Others.) I believe I am correct in saying that you are a Berwick Bandits supporter? Well just maybe, you should go and read my comments about the Bandits fans on your 2016 Thread and on the Rye House v Berwick Bandits League and KO Cup match Threads and reconsider your position of continually stalking and knocking me, dear sir or madam. Now, please get off my case, "allthegearbutnaeidea". It is getting very very zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Agreed in all respects hackneyrocket. There is news that Chris Louis is remodelling the Foxhall circuit again this close season and putting some camber in and making it more rounded which would really suit Cam, but I can see him back in a Rockets suit next season. Josh of course knows Cam well from racing in Perth, WA, but I did find it strange when I looked into the Pits at Owlerton. Yes, confidence, confidence and confidence. For an Aussie and a speedway rider, not a lot there, which is a great shame. Still the best wheelies in town too.
