I get to see them ride at Coventry and they really are something special but I'm afraid I just couldn't cope with two sons riding as it must be bad enough worrying about one.

Wed. 25th June.

I've seen that before and it's amazing how no-one was injured. Can't have been pleasant for Benji to see the bike heading straight for him and the other fans moved pretty quickly too.

Where's SCB?

Lioness would like that. She'd be on the front row.

Only got one - Ladyluck - but he's probably back under another name now.

Is this on line anywhere as I missed the first few races on Bet365?

I've recently taken gustix off ignore so I can read his posts. I realise now why I put him on there in the first place.

And another one whose name I can't remember who became more famous for having himself filmed on the toilet. James somebody was it? Money well spent there.

When the forum first started in 2001 one of it's titles was FAST - Forum Assistance for Speedway Training (I think!) I'm sure one of the older members will correct me if I'm wrong. Some of us donated a small sum of money each month (I think...... again!) towards helping young riders just starting out. As my memory is awful the only one I can remember is Ben Wilson but I'm sure there are others who will be able to reel all the names off. Personally these days I wouldn't donate as I prefer to give money to abused dogs as I think they are more needy.

Must be me but I thought there was a good deal of passing tonight and the other half, making only his second appearance at Brandon this season, didn't moan once so he must have thought it was okay. If he gets bored he usually goes for a wander around but he stayed put all night.

Thanks very much!

Mmmmmm......the promoters are doing a good job this week keeping the line up secret so it looks like I'll have quite a bit of writing to do tonight. Even Poole are in on the act with the teams listed in alphabetical order and nothing on the Updates site as yet. If anyone cracks the code before 6.30pm please let me know.

I don't know why there hasn't been much interest Colin unless no-one wants to upset Sandhu this early when we supposedly still have two more years to go after this year. There has already been a 'falling out' between him and the promotion earlier in the season but luckily everyone kissed and made up after a few days. Perhaps we are all too worried if there are any protests Sandhu will just get rid of the speedway earlier than he says. I'm not local and am definitely not the sort of person to even speak at meetings like this as I'd probably be hiding away at the back somewhere.

Sadly there didn't seem to be much interest in the first place in spite of Colin's efforts, but what would the meeting achieve anyway? That's not a criticism - I'm just wondering.

Well, that's the H's sorted out.

Oh yes. Tuna/Mayo bagette, piece of cake and cup of coffee at Kings Lock Cafe then a walk along the canal with the dogs. I know how to live.

I'm wondering if Stevebrum is top of the blocks as for some reason (heaven knows why) he seems to irritate people on here.

Thanks Neil. Never too old to learn.

Not even the dog will attend this one so it's just one man. Dogs are banned at Leicester.

Yes, especially a repeat of the 5-1 they scored in heat 13. I don't know how they work it out - perhaps it's just a case of asking who fancies it. Hans was on 11 from 4 rides, Garrity 10 (top scorer with 13 from 5 rides) , Michael 8 and Chris 7. As the points were in the bag I'd have given it to the first two named but I don't even know if reserves are allowed in heat 15 as I've only been going to speedway for around 65 years and I'm still learning.

Same birthdate as me, although I'm somewhat older. Happy 60th Larry.

I doubt if it will come down to being that close that a point or two makes a difference. I think we were all expecting Hans to ride so Chris could wizz off to get ready for his journey but Hans made the decision so it was his choice. Welcome to the forum. Remember to keep a sense of humour and you'll survive.

Okay we know what mrcts says but what do you say?

I'm sure we'll get to know pretty early what the teams are.......in alphabetical order.
