I've got a good idea. After the 20 heats, all 16 riders qualify for the quarter finals, the winner of each race goes through to the final. That way, the rider who finishes last after 20 heats can still have a chance of winning the Grand Prix. Sounds fair to me. i was thinking of suggesting this to the powers that be, but decided against it as they will probably adopt it.

I wasn't a Norwich fan. New Cross and West Ham were my teams, but I did have a soft spot for Norwich as the first match I ever saw was New Cross v. Norwich, with the great Ove Fundin scoring an 18 point maximum. I did hope to become a Norwich fan when, in 1964, I put down Norwich as my choice of Teacher Training College purely on the basis that I would be able to see Norwich every week. Sadly, between my application and my actually starting at college, Norwich closed! I only went to King's Lynn once. P.S. Not only did I not see Norwich while at college, I didn't become a teacher either. If it wasn't for the fact I had a really good time at college, it would have been a complete waste of time!

Tomorrow will see the 60th anniversary of the closure of The Firs. 😪

What, even wider than your hero's?

Before the War there used to be all sorts of second half races. 1 lap, 2 lap, 3 lap, scratch starts, rolling starts, flying starts with 2,3 or 4 riders. Also there were track record attempts by a solo rider.

Thanks for posting. A good article apart from the first line. Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!!!

If I remember correctly, the system used to be something like this but it was ended to stop Andy Smith qualifying every year!

It's why Sverre Harrfeldt and Bjorn Knutson were never in the team together!

You're forgetting, Arnie, that woke can mean anything the speaker or writer wants it to mean. Usually it just means anything you disagree with.

Have you forgotten the war of 1015-18 when Norway did invade Sweden?

That would be rather perverse to have three Aussies but leave out the best Aussie of them all.

Really!?

I'd say that's a quirk of Facebook not Karl. He is continually posting on many and various Facebook pages. He has put up 25 posts on his own page today, let alone his posts on other pages!

He's never off it!
