Would that include the British G.P? I'm rather hoping not because quite a lot of fans head to Somerset/Wales for Friday and Saturday. Not me though - I'll be in Dorset and hoping not to miss a National League match as the cottage is booked Friday to Friday.

Presumably the G.P's cost more for Sky to show? I think you are probably right and a lot of fans stay at home rather than getting out to their local track because the Elite League is shown on T.V. so they get their weekly 'fix' that way in the comfort of their own home.

It's so long ago now that I can't exactly remember his/her original name but think it was King Kenneth Speed. Since then he/she has used numerous different log ins, after being continually banned, so unfortunately any new member is immediately treated with suspicion. Actually I thought he/she was quite funny sometimes.

Look on the bright side - no-one has accused you of being KKS yet.

Unfortunately won't be able to watch as I always cancel Sky Sports in the Winter.

Never met him in my life....unfortunately. Was my favourite rider at Leicester though.

Blimey! How do I answer that one. Let me know who your father is, by Private message or email amyellen1@ntlworld.com if you prefer to not say on here, and I'll let you know.

I won't be renewing in March either so what I save a month will be used on more live Speedway - National League at Coventry and probably a few trips to Beaumont Park throughout the season.

John Boulger, Ray Wilson, Vic White.... ??..... Graham Plant..... ??...... Two I can't get. Graham Plant hasn't changed.

It's supposed to be just 'banter' but personally I hate it and although I'll probably be at the match I doubt if I will be wearing a Bees scarf. I will just try to enjoy the racing as a neutral fan. Don't say that - we've got 4 of them!

Thank you dj350z. Some names to get the memories stirring in that programme! Wasn't looking good for Leicester then if we'd already lost at home by 8 points. Regarding the attendance of 20,000 I think the capacity now is set at around 12,000 so what has happened to the extra room for 8,000 fans? I don't think the terraces have ever been altered so it must just be down to good old 'Health and Safety' restrictions these days.

Brilliant and thanks for the confirmation that I haven't gone completely senile yet. Don't suppose you know what the first leg score of the Leicester v Coventry match was? Hardly worth us turning up really for that battering. (I say 'us' because back then I was supporting the Lions.)

Although it's a good idea to ride against Coventry I've got to agree with you that they will beat the Lions easily. Best idea would be to have some sort of handicap system with Coventry starting 25 yards back or something similar. Shame Chris Harris isn't still riding for the Bees because they could have let him start from the gate to give him a better chance of at least reaching the first bend with two other riders.

Great to read all this positivity.

Blimey! Remembered something right for once. I think a lot of the Leicester fans went to Coventry in a double decker bus (or two) and this was before the M69 was built so it meant travelling along country roads. I seem to remember having to duck several times when tree branches hit the side of the bus upstairs.

Wasn't that a double header against Leicester as well or is my memory wrong as usual?

Hope you think that's worth a 25% warning.

Okay thanks. Can't rely on my memory these days. I could 'see' his face but obviously got the wrong name as I don't watch Eastenders. I think I've got the newspaper cutting somewhere in one of my seven speedway scrapbooks.

I don't know but it's bound to be all Mick Horton's fault.

Perhaps he can move in with Chris Harris - at least they will both talk the same language.

Pretty sure actor Adam Rickett - ex Coronation Street - broke his leg trying speedway but I can't remember if he was being filmed for a programme or not.

Blimey! They must have one hell of a good drainage system. Shame Blaby District Council can't do something similar with Braunstone Lane East which is closed again today as the road is flooded.

Has it been on? All that melted snow and the rain last night surely makes it doubtful?

I'm waiting too. I've already found out there is only a reserved meeting at Poole when we are on holiday in the area so unless one gets rained off before it looks like we won't be seeing any speedway. Just my luck Coventry will be riding at Buxton on the Sunday so we'll miss that as well.

It's absolutely tipping it down at the moment so what with that and all the melting snow they'll need the good drainage system they reckon they've got.
