  1. Where is 'home' for Robert. I heard he lived in Denmark.
  2. Ivan stopped him in his tracks in about '63. You mean there are two of you.
  3. It's not so long ago the both Nicki and Greg were best of mates and families were very close, and that was well after the tangling on the forth bend exit at Marketa, Prague.
  4. Rebel fans have been suggesting it for a couple of weeks. Obviously Gary has a replacement just in time for the PO's.
  5. Nah, three it is. Two mediums and one large for putting over another coat when it's a bit cold or working on the track. Bit of an anorak, well it is.
  6. Your list is a bit light on the number of Yanks. Following an accident with Nick(late 90's), all Americans had a joint crusade to take Nicki out hence the reason he now needs a knee brace. Not true. BW is a Wolves supporter, and his favourite rider is Sam, who is no supporter of ex Wolve NIcki. Guess who sticks up for Nicki in current discussions.
  7. No chance. It was the blue jacket we had to wear by the BSPA, and George had to wear a red jacket. The 'pink' ones still going strong, I have three of them actually.
  8. Ok, I never thought you meant a dig at the promotion or the 2015 team. I know when we set up in 1997, there was times we won good meetings, and still got complaints like "when are we going to get rid of that No 3 Dave". I lost it one night when a fan started moaning after we had just won something like 55 - 35. I threw my promoters jacket at him with words like 'see if you can do f***ing better'.
  9. Well, it wasn't about politics was it. Lets not "Runaway" with our new relationship.
  10. Difficulty is a big winning team is also a lot more costly, as we found out in 2001. i think every time Edinburgh have won the PL they have met with huge losses. Crowds might be increased, but wages increase at a much greater level.
  11. One would have thought so, so Holub would be no 1 and would not get the RR ride .
  12. Deciding factor NYB, is how the club lists the riders in the declaration form. In the early 00's we once had 3 3.00 pointers at the first declaration of a season, and the order decided which one that was in the main body of the team.
  13. You must be the only person who thinks a rule is bigger that the spectacle of speedway racing. It sounds like a defining point when you started to fall out with speedway, and had had enough. For that rule to be bigger that the sport you alledge you loved, says more about you Ian than the sport generally. No normal fan goes to speedway to watch rules, the spectacle/product is still 4 riders racing around a track four times, and always will be till you grow tired with it. Like you have. Seconded by Ronnie Russell and I voted against it, despite sitting next to Len.
  14. As has been said, Lewis still has got a long way to go for a full recovery. He has had brain bleeds, and until that stops and gets normal, they will not know if there is to be long term damage. He has the rest of this season, and the winter break, to fight his injuries, and try and get back to his normal cheerful self. He had a hard first lap, a canny second lap and I hope he continues at the same speed for for the next two laps. Keep fighting Lewis.
  15. Not really, just you not being able to read what is written. You don't have to you know. I'll type things slower in future for you.
  16. Rick/Julia only got out of the sport cos they backed the wrong ones. Where is Sandu these days, apart from shafting Coventry. You should try success sometime, being new to it you might like it. I've still got the fullest support for Rick, and the way he goes about it. He seems shy, but is prepared to be involved on the outside despite the flack he gets. without a lot of drum rolling. Even joining up with his alleged 'wrong doers' shows that all the s**t that was thrown at the 2010 AGM possibly was a bit misjudged. BTW. I continue to run/sponsor the only free training school in Britain with my 9 bikes, and currently TM the Newcastle Gems NJL team, which include 4 of my home grown riders. What are you sponsoring these days.
  17. I, and others, think you have been 'trying' for a lot longer than that. So what does Rick do in speedway that I might be missing. Gone to another club, run by someone else, but puts some money in it. Puts a bit in Peterborough, but someone else runs it. Sounds like running speedway is still not for him despite what you think.
  18. It had been confirmed that Keiran was going to be in white , switching with Farish who then appeared in Yellow. Obviously didn't reach the refs ears. Heat 2 should be a win for Sam McGurk. Nobody heard a race result announcement, so I came along from the pits entrance to check it.( I spoke with both you and Brian) Everyone including those in the crowd confirmed to me that Sam had got it with his fast burst passed Keiran. I then checked it with Sam, and he confirmed he had got it. In heat 6 I can confirm that Farish was the lads that fell on the 4th bend, just as Sam had fell on the inside. The announcement was wrong, and I indicated/reminded before the rerun race to the announcement box and the refs box, that the riders had switched and the announcement was the wrong way round. It was definitely Keiran who won the heat 6. Many thanks for the times, but we hear nothing at the pits exit.
