Hello Singy13 me old pal, hope this finds you well... I am fine, hale and hearty, and just doing other things now... Haven't been on here for sometime, but I do drift in and out, now and then, just for the craic... Take it you still go to the Speedway and the Rugby of course, and did you not follow Carlisle United? If you are a Carlisle fan I may have a few tickets for a game soon if you would like them, Corporate of course... I was down in Barrow not long back watching them, and had a wild night in Barrow Town Centre, yep I couldn't believe it either... I am still in Maryport and I am off to a Reds match soon before the end of the season as I want to go to Borough Park before it gets demolished... Then I can hopefully be one of the first in the new stadium wherever they end up, I have been picking a few more Newcastle FC matches up as well... so been keeping busy... Nice to know I am missed, however, rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated... But if I do kick the bucket I will post it on here so everyone knows... Regards THJ

I see,, maybe I'm in the minority not having any TV packages at all,, zero pence a year at the moment.

Glad to hear you're ale and hearty....

Very interesting comments on Adam Ellis and MJJ. Here is what I know. On Adam Ellis. Adam was at the Birmingham Press and Practise Day, but only for the press photo's as he was due to attend the Sheffield Press and Practice later that day. Was in common knowledge that Adam had signed a short term agreement? Well it would suggest not looking at the Birmingham Fans Forum. Under the section Rumour Mill and the title of the Adam Ellis. Fans ask the question is Adam on a short term agreement, as they have read on the BSF that he was. Of course history shows that Adam was on a short term contract, but nobody put those who were asking the question either fans that claimed to be in know or the Promotion. And if my memory is correct, Adam when the contract was up cop flack from Birmingham fans who accused him of walking out of the club. Again if my memory is correct this was only settled when Adam posted on his Facebook page that he had only signed a short term agreement and had honoured that contract the one person who could shed some light on this is Jonny Spud who I believe is Adam Dad, and occasionally posts on here. On MJJ Simply this someone has picked up an article from his Polish club that MJJ will only riding on a short term agreement until the Polish season kicks in. This is why a number of Birmingham fans are wanting to find out what is factually correct about MJJ. And it is the past history with Adam, that has lead to these questions been asked.

I enjoy reading the 'speedway forum', with particular interest in the Workington Comets stories. However since a couple of years back, approx, two of my favourite reads have just disappeared from the 'forum'. Don't see any posts now from Jenga or TotallyHonestJohn......I always enjoyed the lengthy, and informative, input from the latter. I wonder if they are posting now under a different id? Does anyone else miss the two I've mentioned? Or does anyone know if they do post under other id? Or am I alone in this respect?

It was Rugby Council who opposed the planning application, and the appeal against the decision was refused by the Government Planning Officer.

Go on, go for it. It’ll be no skin off your nose!

Perhaps there has been no progress because Speedway has been going around in circles for years 😄

23 April marks 40 years since Billy's tragic passing, and 09 SEP, would have been his 70th birthday, but ofcourse, he remains always 29yo. Wonder if we could get a 'superstar' meeting to mark the dates? Pairs, Individual or 16 Lapper. I think I'll ask JL. Nothing ventured, eh?!. Maybe ask Ed Sheeran to stump up some prize money.

And leaving the stadium to "A walk in the black forest". Very evocative for me that piece of music, but understand the club can't use it anymore due to licencing restrictions, or similar. 'As long as we know'...

I don’t know about anyone else but no I don’t have any other sports package. I just refuse to spend anymore of my disposable income on the box in the corner. It’s getting out of hand. Middle of the road sky with Netflix plus Apple TV & Disney is plenty of expense on top of the tv licence fee.

Not sure Ellis being "too big" is any of our business. Just an image of his face will do 🤪

Peterborough line up is King,B.Cook,Kildemand and MJJ.Agood looking line up.The meeting is looking very good so far. Hoping Doyle is added to the Newport line up and that would be the icing on the cake imo🙂

Do you also play your old records backwards looking for satanic voices?

Looking forward to reading JJ's answer to this, only when I asked the same question on B'hams forum page, he said that it was a ridiculous/stupid question and didn't deserve an answer? Cue 'JJ' .......

Link to a photo of the Raceway bridge being removed. Thought it might be of interest to some. I still miss Friday nights at Arena! https://www.facebook.com/100064833065454/posts/1060268559477570/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v

Good to see ITFC involved as sponsors again that’s great that the football & speedway work together. Now if only those American investors would get involved & stick a 10th of what they have spent in transfer fees into UK speedway it would transform it

Used to love hearing 'William Tell Overture' back in the 70's just when the riders were heading to the tapes.... ahhhhh....the good old days!

🍷Way too much .

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals !

Had some good banter with THJ a few years ago on here, think had a similar level of sarcasm, was he not in the best health either a few years ago? Lost friends always sad, especially as a lot of us are long term fans and we're all getting old/older. First time I went was 55 years ago, so if I disappear off here, you probably know what's happened. On that joyous note..... Happy Christmas to you all 😅.

Not sure about jenga but thj had a fallout with the whole sport not just the comets if he or anyone he knows sees this wish him well !

Happy ending then.

Each track should have their own massif...it really does turn a boring night into a fun one.
