WookieboyDon Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Just back from a week’s holiday in Rhodes and on the second day I was wearing my Dan Bewley Wroclaw shirt around the pool. Later that evening while at the bar, someone appeared behind me and asked if I was Polish or English as he had seen me wearing the shirt. I replied English and he introduced himself as Andreas Bergstrom. We chatted briefly for ten minutes before I had to go. A few evenings later I saw him again and this time we spent the evening sinking plenty of whiskey and rum and putting the speedway world to rights! A top fella with a lovely family. Couldn’t speak highly enough about Berwick, the club and its supporters (less complimentary about a certain person who was at the club when he rode though!) His stories were brilliant, funny, eye opening and his opinion on a certain Swedish ex-World Champion was surprising! 😉 His thoughts on speedway’s current crop were also very interesting, and his love for Bomber Harris oozed out of him. His fears for the future of both Swedish and British speedway echo many of our own, as do his ideas of how to promote the sport and turn it round. But as he said himself, there are too many people in positions of power who don’t want wholesale change for the better due to their own business interests. He currently runs his own industrial firm which is extremely busy but hopes to get some time off to come to watch the GP in the UK next year when hopefully we can meet up again. The only downside meeting him was that I’m still in the doghouse with the missus for chatting to him all night at the bar rather than spending it with her and our daughter! 🤣 1 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) Many years ago I was lying by the pool in Tenerife reading the speedway star, this bloke came up saying so your a speedway fan, looking up I recognised the guy as Alan Ham former promoter at Bradford speedway, spent a couple of hours putting the speedway world to rights, he couldn't believe that as a Workington fan a group of us used to go to Bradford every week for our speedway fix, at the time Workington had no speedway late 80's Edited 2 hours ago by Neila Predicted text 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
