After witnessing many farce meetings at Stoke thru various reasons I vowed never to return, however it seems like things are gradually being turned around so I'l be attending this season. More than happy to support a club that's trying to change things around

I agree

With regards to holding the meeting up if there's a queue I don't think they should unless maybe there's been an incident of some kind. I tend to get to the Wolves about 7.25 and if there was a queue and I missed a race then tough on me I should have got there earlier

I have a terrible feeling it could be the circus, hope I'm wrong and it's a cracking night of racing

It says Ellis fell on bend 4, is it just bends 1 and 2 that's been altered or all the track

Just about I'd say

Tbh it's tough times for promoters at the minute and id be happy enough to pay £5 at the next meeting

There was 13 heats not completed so shouldnt I get in the next meeting for a fiver

So I've paid £10 for 2 heats tonight

Anyone know the policy on rain offs as when I can use my ticket from tonight,I can't get to next week's meeting

Bit controversial this but I was a big fan of PC in the 70s although I actually preferred Mort's style. I didn't follow speedway quite as closely around the mid 80s just going now and again . I've been checking PC's record after his win and then incredible 2nd place the year after. What I'm shocked at is he didn't really seem to be a serious contender after that. Am I talking rubbish?

Anyone know the figure for the first Golden Hammer

Or the same jobsworth who had the parking off me and told me where to park then has I passed him said the meeting was off

I remember that race Steve but I don't think I went to the meeting so I'm guessing it must have been on tv

If Sheffields in the Midlands I must be a Cockney

Fantastic well done Ricky

He was passing riders all night as well, could easily have won that year. Was it the year after Bomber won?

As good as Phil was not sure you could compare him to Ivan

I think it might have been

Didn't Steve Bastables sister have a race against someone in the 70s at Dudley Wood

I remember going to Scunny for the winter meeting and standing between the tapes and first bend wondering why nobody was standing by me. Heat 1 tapes up and 3 seconds later I could have auditioned for the black and white minstrels

Sometimes I see threads from yesterday and have forgotten that I have posted on them

Brilliant story

I don't post a great deal these days but must admit I'm on the verge of giving up on the forum, I come on here to hear about speedway not the rubbish posted on just about every thread now. Probably get abuse for posting this.

I went to a couple of these, I remember one at Scunthorpe which I went to to escape the family. It was that cold i left before the end
