I don't really understand why he got the nod for Heat 15 instead of the skip.

Bomber, a guest? Surely not!

I'll look out for you. Will you be wearing your full military uniform?

Hooray! Well done.

You're better finishing 3rd than 4th; 5th than 6th; 7th than 8th and 9th than 10th. It's not that difficult to understand.

I didn't say that! Where did that quote come from?

The flashing images are fascinating….

There is some dispute over when ignoring started. Some say Johnnie Hoskins was the first person ever to ignore anyone, but others say the Americans began ignoring everyone else long before he did - and, in fact, still are.

Very sad news. I met him out in New Zealand over 20 years ago. He spent a day with me showing me the sights of Auckland, including Western Springs Raceway. His views on Ivan Mauger and Barry Briggs were particularly entertaining! I think you could say he was not exactly star-struck! In the evening he and his wife, Lynda, took my wife and me out to dinner, where we met up with Tommy Sweetman. It was a great day. He was so friendly and informative. Oh yes, and he was a pretty good rider in his day too! R.I.P., Bob.

and over here…

I've been reading on here for months that there's been no publicity, no-one in Northampton even knows there's a new speedway team, the promoters have been hopeless in…er…promoting. It'll all be doom and gloom. And yet here we are, everyone reporting a good crowd. I blame the promoters.

1. Northampton (I just felt sorry for them.)

It depends what you call the 'good old days' because to me the 'good old days' were exactly the days when every team member did wear the team colours - black leathers and a team race jacket. Well I say every team member wore black leathers but there was always the odd maverick such as Nigel Boocock and Mike Broadbanks (as he was then!)

I wasn't around in 1928.

Good job you mentioned that, they probably wouldn't have thought of it...

Well, at least Northampton have achieved twice as much publicity on this Forum as any other club with two threads running....

Northampton Norbolds

There was no league in 1928.

Wembley, 1929.

Captain Northampton?

I think he's sponsored by Thames Water.

I believe so, but only after they've moved to Dunsinane.

Just seen the latest update from Ipswich. First Witch When shall Ipswich meet again In thunder, lightning, or in rain? Second Witch When the hurlyburly's done, When the battle's lost and won. Third Witch That will be ere the set of sun. First Witch Where the place? Second Witch Upon Foxhall Heath. ALL Fair is foul, and foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air.

Have they really though? It's only because they are in the Olympics. Once they are over, the freestyle snow sports will return to the fringes. Is it too late to get speedway included in the 2028 Olympic Games?
