Midland Red

Great photos, as usual, but…. As usual, no caption, no identities provided. Not everyone knows who’s in your photos!

I don’t think the CO was more than a director of MSS at the time that Blackbird Road was sold, ie he didn’t own MSS, that was the Sandersons.

…and the answer is… ???

No!

Looking for a mint copy of this!!!

I remember attending Brandon every Saturday night (stock cars excepted), to see the speedway racing I’d go most Tuesdays to Blackbird Road, to see the speedway I enjoyed Bees winning, I enjoyed visiting teams winning at Leicester, but really it didn’t matter, as I’d enjoy the action from the 13 heat match and the second half, which I always stayed for League, challenge, Midland Cup matches, plus World and Midland Championship qualifiers, Tests and other individual meetings This attitude doesn’t seem to prevail any longer, judging by the comments on BSF - all this b0llocks about play-offs, rider changes, with journeymen “team members” - fans identified with “their riders” season after season, now it’s hardly match after match Can’t remember many changes for the better since “the good old days”

Also, why go when it’s televised or streamed?

Louis puffing out his cheeks - couldn’t win in the 15 heat match, so given another chance. Piffle (or much worse language) - it was a draw, leave it at that, the result of the scheduled races.

Should be one rider from each team. Can’t get this 2nd and 3rd can be winners

Why have all his badges fallen off his shirt?

Probably thinks the same about you!

All the travel / immigration records I can find point to 1923 being correct

Hear, hear

Sad news (only just caught up with it). One of the first riders I ever watched. RIP Eric.

Don’t get hooked by all the lines cast by these pesky Pirates supporters

Yes, you’ll be telling us next what the biscuits will be
