MBE...

Mort got an MBE,I think... funny that, recognised by the late Queen but not by the club whose stadium he built, no, we'd rather call it the South Stand... in memory of that great direction! Why has Mort been cancelled?

Would like to put this post out again as no responses received, other than the ongoing exchanges re Poole not participating in the Prem KO Cup. Now the Champ fixtures are out. How many Lge matches before young Cairns gets a GSA ?? I notice Poole ride 7 Lge matches before he rides his first match against Glasgow at home on 2nd July. Meaning in effect 9 Lge fixtures left prior to any play offs if they qualify. Can anyone confirm what the qualifying criteria is as get the feeling they have timed it so he keeps his 2 point GSA also for 2026. I know the play offs do not count for GSA's. Similar the BSN qualifiers that counted will also be completed before July.

Which speedway riders have been decorated? I can think of Ronnie Moore, Barry Briggs, Ivan Mauger, Peter Collins and Kelvin Tatum off hand. All MBEs I believe. Any others?

I think Sir is a bit too much but maybe an Mbe? anyone can nominate a person for an award, its on the Gov.Uk website https://www.gov.uk/honours/nominate-someone-in-the-uk

Apparently a piece in the Speedway Star about us going on a global search for our 7th rider.   I.E we’re finishing 7th. Perfect.
