JamesHarris Posted yesterday at 10:01 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 10:01 PM The Brafield team of the 1950's and 60's were called the Badgers. Given that Badgers are mostly seen dead on their ar$es they do share some other similarities with those who run British Speedway. They have very poor vision and they are creatures of habit who will follow the same paths for generations despite the dangers and do not adapt well to changes in their territory. Badgers would be ideal. All we need is a Bodger to manage the mashed potatoes. 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When sandhu stood down from speedway. And offered the promotion for grabs. With the hundreds who were wanting to take it on and mick Horton got the nod. How surprising. It’s almost like he was the only one who was prepared to give it a go and without him spoedway would have been all over at Coventry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Colin Horton took over and threw money about. But allegedly made his money through insurance fraud on containers being lost at sea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
