Lioness

Not that far from me but I must admit I wasn't aware of a track there! I used to live about 100yards from the greyhound track at Hartlepool, the one beside the football ground. It was demolished a few years back and instead there is a retail park on the site now

Ayr and Corbiewood have both been tentatively enquired (or is that inquired?) about in the last year or so and judged to be hostile. Don't know what the reasons were at Ayr but Corbiewood was thought to face major objections from residents which is a bit of a joke considering they are newbies to the area and around quarter of a mile from the track. The existing folks of Bannockburn didn't want the houses so maybe they are getting revenge lol Funnily enough its not that long since there was a nice quiet truckfest at Corbiewood...... Hope by horseracing tracks you don't mean round the outside :clown now THATS what I'd call a big track lol

Errr.....can I pass on that one? :twisted:

You are in for an experiance Dawng.......last year was my first one. Thought you might have gone down a day earlier to take in the Glasgow match at Newport on the Friday night? I think I'll end up leaving on the Monday and taking in a few meetings on the way ending up at Newport on the Friday :twisted:

Its got to be Ians estranged wife whose name I cant remember(you can tell Im an avid fan eh?) as she is Dennis Watermans daughter?

In coronation street????? :roll:

Now you have me really intrigued David....just as long as its not Vera! lol

I rest my case

That'll be the XXX one they are selling for big money ML! I mean, Shazzy and honey shower and bath.......their words after all! :twisted:

So ner ner ner ner ner to you Steve Turner! AND I knew about it from 400 miles away lol

See http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forum/view...opic.php?t=1013 Just to keep everything in one place really

Did the local Coventry paper not do a history on the Bees a couple of years ago in instalments? Over to Gem/Steve Turner/Fd/Full Throttle etc etc....

Does Doc Bridget have computer access? I'd LOVE to see his comments. We have two of the best tracks up here thanks to him. Is there any communication between trackmen at the different tracks up and down the country? Do they learn from each other or is it just a case of every man for himself? I assume that for the GP temporary tracks they have their own little team who go to most venues which in many ways is a shame as surely 'local' knowledge on conditions would help.

And there was me thinking you were an ex-pat Lunchy....

God forsaken Bahamas? Maybe we should have a forum convention out there to discuss it! :twisted: I have the impression that most of the riders are very approachable and accesible but my knowledge is very limited. Perhaps someone like Steve Turner may be more the person to ask-over to you ST

As long as they change those ******* helmet colours back! This green is a nigthmare It must be difficult to show speed on the tv-sometimes you dont even realise at a meeting just how fast these guys are going. Your ideas are all excellent ideas though Sandman-anything to get the interest of the punter and inform on even just a little of what is involved in the sport has to be a plus

Grachan they way you put together the pics of action and the place as it is now is very emotional even to someone who has no knowledge of the track. Phenomenal and very moving-thanks

I take it there was a very good reason it was done after the last match of the season!!

Don't stop Sandman-welcome aboard! I haven't seen any mechanics races although I seem to remember a mechanic going out in a second half card one time but I'm not sure. Did they used to happen often? Who did they blame if the bike packed up half way round? :clown

They are behind me Shazzy.....but I'm still above ya! Now just make sure you behave between now and then-we specialize in water bombs lol :twisted:

Thanks tick-tock I don't have an order no tho-just the guys name :x Oh well....I'll give them till the start if next week and then become a phone a friend....lol

At the risk of sounding stupid how do you check your order on line?

Right! thats it 21st CH! You're censored! :twisted:

Can I request if anyone DOES get their tickets to post on here and let us all know? Just so that we can all pressure them lol
