Kent? Reading? Nelson? Poole? surnames are also tracks... so that's 4/7 - Jeremy as no.8 and Kieran as no.9 perhaps

I also seem to remember an epic from Monmore in the 80s, the four team tournament finals I think. That seemed to last for ever. I was there - 48 heats.

when a speedway meeting takes longer than a round of golf one wonders who can spare the time if one has a family to think about...

looks nothing like kevin jolly

one season I seemed to be grabbed by the testimonials...I went to 3 I think.

thanx - I might well be! plus i'll be at Perry Barr tonight which I'm really looking forward to..

In which case why only have 1 wildcard per meeting? Not sure this is the primary criteria

Aside from Cradley this Saturday can anyone in the know advise whether Stoke are planning on running any further home meetings this season? I want to visit to complete all tracks this season, but am beginning to worry they might (again) not race all their home league meetings. I know Malcolm has given me some stick re this when we last spoke but why haven't they got dates for any of their outstanding fixtures?

Unofficial race times from you tube. Thanx to Martin for the idea. 1 55.0 2.55.6 3.54.1 4.54.9 5.54.6 6.54.9 7.54.7 8.55.4 9.54.0 10 54.4 11 55.1 12 55.2 13 55.5 14 55.5 15 55.5

I plan to be at this..it will leave only Stoke I haven't visited yet this year. I've seen Workington away a few times on my travels this season...so not expecting too much from them! whereas last time I saw the Rockets at Alwalton they won!

I was told only last week that a junior football team were currently playing here.

For some peculiar reason I feel less inclined to drive from Liverpool to Sussex via the National Stadium than I did to go to Kirky Lane.. I think it must be to do with 'sanitisation' as suggested earlier. Very odd. But then how will I feel about Brentford's new ground when its built compared to 50+ years going to Griffin Park.. maybe the same...Anyway, I promise to make more of an effort..maybe its just getting used to the place

that's if there are no. 7's next year.....

the one single thing that would help enormously is full strength sides week in week out from April-September (so that's two things)

I'm neutral. just think the occasion will be much better. i will stand with my Brummies fans friends who travel away, so see you tomorrow.

heat 19 - R TG, B KN, W PC, Y/B PG heat 20 - R RA, B PW, W CA, Y/B MP heat 21 - R SW, B GK, W CM, Y/B RG

many thanx if you know. m

the 4TT at Eastbourne was actually on Sunday 26th September. ht 17 Mick Pither, Paul Woods, Colin Ackroyd, Ian Fletcher (63.0) ht 18 Mick Pither, Roger Abel, Paul Woods, Ian Fletcher (63.6) ht 19 Peter Collins, Trevor Geer, Paul Gachet, Kai Niemi (61.8) ht 20 Mick Pither, Roger Abel, Paul Woods, Colin Ackroyd (64.4) ht 21 Gordon Kennett, Chris Morton, Richard Greer, Steve Weatherley (61.8)

how much more exciting this promises to be than the same fixture was at perry barr last season.

This season Wolverhampton have run 6 junior heats with up to 8 riders in attendance. I stay and watch (I'd be a hyprocrite if I didn't!). Having just 4 riders continually riding against one another heat after heat isn't great; but when it's 6 or 8 it is of more interest.

the smell the noise the adrenalin a relatively small no. of participants meaning you feel as though you almost know them personally my statistics

roll on the 100th

heat 8 decision could have gone either way.. Out of the 5 of us neutrals on 1st bend two had it one way, two the other, and I couldn't call it.

Suggest a ref known for 'getting on with it' is appointed for semi's.
