  1. found this prog when clearing my brother firends house
  2. bet your socks the Police will be down first meeting ticketing people parked on the grass verge ,, I bet they are already rubbing their hands together
  3. A friend of mine started talking to him at mallory park ,he had no idea about his music career and couldn't understand why people were paying him so much attention , then he asked him why are these people staring and Keith said it will be because I'm a twisted firestarter , mate says he was a nice bloke , R.I.P Keith Flint .
  4. It was long after 2011 that Sandhu promised to find somewhere else , only a fool or group of fools would believe anything he said
  5. even if there were . I would not want to see it . the MDL has been devalued enough with the inclusion of absolute no hopers , lets not make it into Billy smarts circus with cobbled together teams made up of anyone who owns any sort of speedway bike , this year is the death knell of amateur/development racing , so make the most of it
  6. Did they sell it to Sandhu .or did Sandhu buy somebody elses share and it was out of their hands ?, anyway I don't consider it worthwhile debating with someone who posts and obviously believes every word of Sandhus spin . If you want to blame the Ochiltrees fine by me . you'll get no further argument ,because i have better things to do with my time , I'll see you in the new stadium that Sandhu swore to find for his beloved Bees , perhaps you could remind him i think he's forgot to look for somehwere

  8. do you believe everything that Sandhus PR dept posts on his behalf ? personally I have never read such a load of bullrubbish and lies , the only bit that's true is he bought it with intention of building houses on it . it's taken longer than he expected .but he's got his way in the end .
  9. Just seen that Milton Keynes have managed to secure a home for MDL this year At brum / having seen the announcement of their squad . especailly who has been named captain . I no lionger have any interest in MDL , 39 year olds who have been in mdl for at least 5 years and have still got 0 point averages hold no interest for me I'm afraid
  10. BSB used it but the tarmac shredded their tyres so nobody wanted to ride there ,

  12. you can hardly blame them , when Sandhu arrived he was going to invest money which the stadium badly needed , but only once he was in did he reveal his true intention . and all his subsequent promises to ensure the bees had somewhere to race came to nothing , he never even looked at a single site , because he never had any intention of seeing the bees keep running . Only complete idiots believe he ever intended to see anythiung oithers than houses and money
  13. and he was also involved with a v8 stock car series ,that rivalled formula 1 and eventually merged with Brisca F1 . I stumbled on that this afteroon while i was looking for the press release about the plan for the banked oval aT brandon . sods law I cant find it when i want it . but Ill keep searching . managed to find this on Wiki , Kirimaa was also a championship wiining driver over many years , No mention on his bio of Rebels cars though ,strange that A letter from BriSCA had been sent to the Hotstox drivers informing them that BriSCA no longer wished to be involved with the Hotstox as long as Kath Lomax was part of the organisation. Whether this stance was in support of Phil Haigh or as a direct reply to Kath Lomax's continued requests for proper treatment of the Hotstox at various tracks or because she resisted joining BriSCA is unclear. The Lomax's regrettably resigned from a formula they had been involved with for nearly 10 years. The whole committee then stood down and BriSCA requested that the Hotstox form a Board of Control to enable an easier integration into BriSCA. Plain and simply, BriSCA did not wish to work with Kath Lomax any longer and Kath honorably stood aside. The new committee was led by Hans Kirimaa.
  14. And I know that there was once a plan to put a half mile banked oval round the outside of brandon , the proposal meant taking the backstraight terracing out . and the track extending out of each end of the stadium to the end of the stadium footprint , the speedway would then be on the infield and the only viewing would be from the main grandstand . there was an outline plan displayed at the time . sounds mad Don't it ? , well thats what everybody thought at the time . and the penny must have dropped with with the promotion because MR Kirimaa the investor disappeared almost as fast as he arrived , there must be plenty of folk who remember the proposal , so Ill just wait until someone else posts . at least I wont be waiting with my foot in my mouth ,like somebody else is
  15. That Indy loop was once destined to be built round the outside of Brandon . mr kirimaa a german businessman bought into Coventry with that as the plan , sadly that was the beginning of the end ,because when he moved on he sold his share to Sandhu , the rest is history
  16. Shane Parker used to take a loads of stuff home for the winter and come back without much of it , but the last few times he went he said the customs took invenetory as you wnet in and if you didn't have it all coming out you needed a good reason or big bills ensued for import duty
  17. better than green which only lasted as long as it took for everybody to buy green ones , most riders already have plain yellow , as just like wearing pyjamas instead of leathers , easy and cheap to produce and a quick buck for manufacturers ,
  18. when speedway was flourishing .although it was only 15 minutes of racing , it was 2 or more hours of an event , the anticiptaion of your top rider taking on theirs , the atmosphere from the minute you arrived at the stadium , banter on the terraces , local rivalry , and of course characters , go back to the days of Sean Wilsion Roman Matousek , anything could happen before during or after a race . speedway now is a clincal expeerience . get them in ,dole out the minimum in the shortest time to take their money , and hope they may come back next week , provided of course theres enough roders in the country to provide some speedway or they find out about it through connections , because they sure wont be seeing any fixtures in the local paper , my guess is 90% of people on the terraces go out of habit , a habit that is broken with a disjointed fixture list , and as In my own experience an easy one to break ,it only took 1 week and I wouldn't have bothered if I never went again ,thats after being a regular for 55 years
  19. sorry yes  of course Iv'e seen you  on various Oxford related threads , dont know why i always associaite you with scunthorpe ..lol      If only  I could say  I'll buy you a drink whenthe bees are at  Sandy Lane  , those were the days

  20. quite an impresssive list there , makes it all the more dissapointing seeing it , that this particular production line was largely disregarded by the BSPA except for the revenue it collected by way of licenses and registrations . I very much doubt that in another 8 years you will be able to compile such an impressive list
  21. Unlikely you'll see Long Eaton race again , chairman is now half of the IOW promotion ,and Steve Cook gave up the manager job after more stupidity from the BSPA . Sheffield always had problems with second halves ,a 7.45 start and a strict 10 oclock curfew ,meant that most MDL meetings were cut to 4 races , more than once a main team rider wanted to test something and the meeting was cancelled altogether . good to keep butcher and davies in the shop window and a couple of new faces may show promise , hellowell been around since the beginning of MDL and done nothing ,
  22. if a few more of the chosen reps have the same attitude this could well be a very useful . however this is speedway and theres always going to be someone who wants to go against the grain . good luck with it though lets hope the BSPA finally listen to the bums on seats that keep speedway going .
  23. problem for me is that the representative is likely to put their view above the view of the rest of the supporters I know one who most definitely would and wouldn't like to be challenged as to why he voiced personal opinion instead of the remit of the supporters he represents , I have always been a little suspicious of anyone who puts themselves forward as a spokesman since it takes some ego to want to be singled out ,
