I know that in the great scheme of things it doesn't matter in the least, but being a pedant, I do like to get things right. It was JoeW436 who said, "Would love to see the Poles get beat in their own house" (see above) as I had no particular desire to see that.

I'm surprised, given the current situation with speedway, that the Cup is not decided with a final heat for the top four teams. Winner wins the cup.

That wasn't my quote!

How's it going so far?

Wouldn't matter, seeing as Johnnie Hoskins never promoted at High Beech.

Well, the last time I looked you could still see the outline of the High Beech track, so maybe. Mind you, I think you may have to chop down a few trees first....

I did actually write the book. Ken is shown as co-author because a) it was his idea to write the book b) he provided a number of the illustrations, c) he had the contacts with former riders, promoters etc. who he put me in touch with and d) he gave me some first hand information on the later years . But I actually wrote the book.

Lambert must have thought he was in the Grand Prix there with that line up… -
Thank you. I have done some checking and yes, you are right, that was the last time. Over 40 years ago!

Out of interest, does anyone know the last time a speedway meeting was broadcast live on terrestrial tv?

Premiership 2027 - Are You Interested??
norbold replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Don't know about the others, but Hackney greyhounds ran on Thursday and Saturday nights, so there was no problem with "Make it a Date, Friday at Eight" for speedway.
