  1. Shielfield has never been one of my favourite tracks to watch speedway win, draw or lose. (from 1968 onwards) However I recognise your Promotion are severely constrained from making any alteration to it's shape or dimensions by Berwick Rangers FC. If there are no alternative sites nearby to create a purpose built track, then it's better than nowt.
  2. Given that it is the visitors who are now tracking a Select, you expect the home Promotion to reduce admission and potentially incur reduced income through no fault of their own
  3. Kevin Wolbert to score a 15 pt max and break the track record at Ashfield on 28th March, much to the delight of all the Tigers fans who secretly admire him
  4. It was 24th July 1937 and the actual programme cover is displayed in the Old Programme Gallery on the speedwayswapshop.co.uk website.
  5. There have been instances where the cancelled meetings programmes have been either dumped in a skip or returned to the printers for pulping. Don't think this happens so often now as clubs are more aware that there is a resale market for cancelled meeting progs or they re-use them for the next match with a race card insert. A few clubs are able to delay production until matchday and therefore they are never printed (e.g. Peterborough). Don't know if it was a myth, but there was a story that the 1939 World Final programme was actually printed, but was never released, as WW2 was declared immediately prior to the scheduled meeting date.
  6. John Bishop Phil Bishop Benny King Herby King
  7. Bob Dale Arthur Bush Arch Windmill Peter Dykes Bruce Forrester
  8. jimmy cox cliff cox jimmy coy billy rae
  9. Eligible riders: Phil & Nick Morris Gary Rolls Paul & Brian Bentley Gary Ford Roger Austin Riskit Riley Reg Morgan Finn & Michael Jensen
  10. Is there going to be a change in the personnel previously responsible for the marketing side then ?
  11. No wonder Brian Havelock got fed up with you, given how you conduct yourself on here..
  12. Dariusz Fliegert rode a whole season for Edinburgh on loan from Rybnik in 1992
  13. Agree, The brutal truth is that the UK is not producing a sufficient quantity of newcomers to displace the EU journeymen referred to by you. If some on here really believe that PL promoters would choose to spend more on employing an EU rider instead of a UK counterpart of at least equal ability, then they are living in internet fantasy land. Berwick have just recruited a Slovenian (Vodric) on a 5pt ave to replace their original Australian target (Allen), and expect this trend to continue, rather than a significant increase in numbers moving up from the NL.
  14. As sellers get the best prices in the open market, via eBay/Auctions, you'll be lucky to attract an uninformed seller. Apart from Felton, for the rest of your wants list, you'll probably have to bid well into thee figures, with some fetching at least £400 - £500 each.
  15. Looks like it's time that the Parliamentary Group are involved, rather than only enjoying canapes on the Westminster terrace.
  16. When was previously in the UK, under 16, Sissis rode Matty Wethers bike (i.e. 498cc) in after meeting spins at Armadale and looked good.
  17. So are you disputing Gordon Pairman's assertion that "despite his close connection to those at the top of BSPA who should know better than disclose confidential information", If not Alex Harkess, then who is your "close connection to those at the top of BSPA", or are you denying such an association ?
