Hi stewmac, thank you very much for your reply, we are hoping to get tickets for all 4 meetings, didn't want to see 3 then miss the final, hopefully they'll go on sale soon, thanks again.

Hi, could do with some advice from those who have experience with Polish meetings please. Obviously the tickets haven't been released yet but from previous years do you know if we can buy all 4 meetings together, if not what are the chances of getting tickets for the final? Thanks in advance for any help.

It is with great sadness that I have to inform you of our beloved Dad's passing on Friday 28th October, just one month before his 98th birthday.

Thank you for your reply Watkins, we don't mind paying but thought it would be easier than parking in Cardiff , also the traffic getting out of Cardiff is a nightmare after the GP. Have taken note of your warning of speed cameras, thank you.

Thinking of parking in Newport and getting the train to Cardiff, any advice please?

Oh that's not good, thank you Marky for your reply, looks like I'll have to keep off social media and watch it when we get home.

Hi, I will be staying in Somerset over the weekend and wondered if anyone knows of any pubs showing the gp on Saturday please? We will be about 5 miles from Bridgewater, grateful for any help, thanks.

Yes the tickets are expensive, yes the beers are over priced, and maybe the track doesn't always produce the the best racing, but I look forward to the event every year and always enjoy the racing, chatting with other speedway fans and soaking up the atmosphere in the stadium. Bring on 2018. (Must admit I do miss Nicki P, always the controversial figure and gets the crowd going)! 😉

Best wishes to Danny for a full recovery.

Thanks for the updates, just leaving Swindon in the pouring rain! Fingers crossed we get a meeting tonight.

Leaving Swindon about 2, any weather updates would be great please.

Wishing Emil all the best, looked in a lot of pain after his fall, hoping he's ok.

Thank you racers and royals ☺

Can anyone tell me where I can get a race card for Cardiff please, then I can fill in my programme neatly once home, thanks .

Hi folks, bit of a long shot but wondered if anyone knows of any film footage of Dick racing back in the day, thanks .

Hi Tim,thankyou for your reply, I remember the Sammy Miller bash in 08 as I took Mum and Dad it was a great day. Dad did say that Johnny seemed quite shaky last time he saw him so maybe he has deteriorated somewhat. Thankyou for tour good wishes, I will pass them on to Dad, best wishes to you, kind regards Yvonne.

Hi, does anyone have any recent knowledge of Johnny Hole please, my Dad always receives a Xmas card from him but is concerned as he didn't this year so wondered if Johnny is ok, thank you, Yvonne.

Hi Old Saint, thank you for your birthday wishes I will pass them on to Dad on his birhday on Saturday, kind regards, Yvonne.

Hi Bobbath, Dad will be 85 on the 28th of this month, good luck with your list, regards Yvonne.

Hi Bobbath, thankyou for those kind words, proud to be Dick's daughter, I will pass your best wishes on to Dad. Kind regards Yvonne.

Dick Bradley will be 85 at the end of this month, only one I know sorry, Yvonne.

Hi Dick Bradley is thankfully alive and well and is at the Abbey every week, regards Yvonne (his daughter.)

Great team photo there, thanks for the info Andy, I look forward to the dvd, Regards Yvonne

A big thank you to you too Andy for all your hard work in organising the day, we had a great time and of course the weather was kind to us. Dad really enjoyed catching up with his old team mates etc, we couldn't shut him up! I am looking forward to seeing the photos, also, is a dvd of the day being made? Thanks again Yvonne and Dad (Dick Bradley)

Hi Bobbath, thankyou for your comments about Dad, I seem to recall his last race was discussed here on the forum about two years ago in a Newport thread, he crashed, broke his arm and called it a day! Fortunately in spite of the injuries during his racing days, Dad enjoys good health and is pretty good for his 83 years. I will pass on your kind regards from Canada thankyou, best wishes to you, Yvonne.
