bigdave Posted Wednesday at 01:04 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 01:04 PM (edited) The 1995 British Speedway Grand Prix took place at Hackney. The first time the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff was used for a Speedway Grand Prix was 2001.

Thought is was held at Hackney in 95 as someone mentioned earlier on in the thread, wasn't it the meeting that Boycey laid one on Gollob.

piston197 Posted Thursday at 12:31 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 12:31 PM It is the unusual moments I seem to remember A certain poster on this forum's son going after an opposing rider with a marshall's shovel at a Newport Mavericks meeting Will Beveridge attacking Emil Linqvist and the subsequent fracas Scott Smiths bike ending up on the rake of the passing tractor as a celebration wheelie went wrong Least able Karlsson brother having a dust up with the start marshall Frank Smart and Robin Aspergen racing each other ( tentatively) in the opposite track direction in just boots, underpants, helmet and gloves Just hope I remembered these incidents correctly It all seems somewhat sanitised these days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the last speedway meeting at the old Wembley Stadium was the 1981 World Final. Edited Thursday at 01:16 PM by bigdave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say that much as he used to get angry and wait for somebody I don't remember him picking up a shovel and I just checked with him and you definitly mis- remembered that oneĀ š¤£Ā He was no angel for sure but don't think he needed to 'tool up'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing Sam ever done was giving paedo Shawn a slap in the car park. Shame he didn't stamp all over his head now looking back. š Does anyone remember the 99 PLRC at Sheffield and former rider Derrol Keats glassing a fan in the bar? Sure he got banged up for it.Ā Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, that's what happened to me as I have got older , still think you are a youngster and can fight the world !, but will see my son on Wednesday who regularly came with me and see how he remembers itĀ š¤Ā Think the shovel was a gesture/warning and no one actually got hit with itĀ Edited 1 hour ago by piston197 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
