I really enjoyed reading that. Thanks.

Chris Morton.

Hi, If anyone could post a list of teams and line ups for the 1983 British League I would appreciate it. Thanks

Charlie Venegas. Would score double figures round Kirky Lane and 1 or 2 away.

I'm sure Paul McCartney is not a unique name lol. I remember taking a phone call for my boss about 10 years ago from Paul McCartney and he sure as well wasn't a bin dipper lol

I'm reading Alan Carters book at the moment. Cannot find a thread for it on here though. There must be one can someone point me in the right direction please?

Nobody mentioned Jason Lyons - Belle Vue 1992-2003 and 2005?????

Thanks

Would appreciate any info, looking for the full BL line ups for the 1984 season.

I agree, whatever he was great at was overshadowed by what he did, Yeah he was obviously ill,very ill but the hero worship is a bit much.

Hyde Road for me too, its where I fell in love with Speedway. I remember being about 8 and everyone in the stands stamping their feet - so loud and it felt like the place might fall down lol. Away tracks, Bradford, Cradley, Kings Lynn, Sheffield - never forget going to Trelawny - I MUST have gone the wrong way surely.........but I hadn't lol.

Only "one off" world final I went to was 1990 at Bradford. Gutted when Moran lost the run off lol. What I remember though that although that season Per Jonsson was flying in the World Championship rounds his form for Reading was below it's usual. Seem to remember he only averaged about 7.50 and didn't make the BLRC.

Yeah we are coming back on Sunday. Its gonna be a long day I think lol

Still not packed. Not ready at all. Train leaves at 2.30pm.................................lol

Bad idea Lea, I can barely remember my own name most days lol. On the train 2.30pm Friday hooooray!!

Belle Vue vs Swindon - 1st June 1985 Morton, Simmons, Yeates, Blackbird (F)

Cradley & Bradford but what I really miss is weekend tracks and the manic days out we used to all have before arriving at the away track:(

1. Chris Morton 2. Peter Collins 3. Hans Nielsen 4 . Erik Gundersen 5 . Tommy Knudsen 6. Per Jonsson 7. Jason Crump 8. Mark Loram 9. Jan O.Pedersen 10. John Cook 11. Tony Richardsson 12. Todd Wiltshire 13. Tomasz Gollob 14. Shawn Moran 15. Greg Hancock 16. Simon Wigg

Don't go to a certain famous burger place near the stadium though. I witnessed them putting frozen burgers (in bun) in the microwave in 2005.....

I wish I could have seen PC in his prime. I caught the last 2 seasons of his career.

Does anyone know where on t'internet I can find pictures of the Hyde Road Stadium? Apart from the Official BV website or Speedwayplus?

And the 1st team to beat you that season was................

Ban was lifted in 1988. The female riders I remember were Maxine Hill (Hackney Juniors) Lisa Whibberly (Arena Essex Juniors - I think) and Sarah Cunningham (Exeter Juniors - I think). Julie Cross rode at Telford a couple of times I seem to remember.

Well its better than that Tony Hadley bloke or whatever he was called. At least we know Chas & Dave will be a joke. Snooker Loopy.......classic! Right up there with Imagine by that scouse bloke

Hyde Road is still there........I drove down Hyde Road this evening.
