I understand that Bob Grant represented Scott Robson, in his absence.

But to be announced. It says two and it will be.

"Convenient" is the word that comes to mind.

He did and Andy used to come out to the AGM's abroad with Dave Pavitt for a few days away. Andy was like a son to Terry.

He sold out his Cleaning business pretty early on, and made a lot of money from the sale. Got the feeling that some riders close to him also worked in the company but I might be wrong.

That's you and me out of it then.

or more like Al Jolson

Remember my first visit to Belle Vue in the early 60's, and standing on the home straight, and being allowed to stand near the outside fence getting filled in. I should have known because everyone who were Belle Vue fans all had the programme or programme boards to cover the sides of their right face. Soon learned when you were that near.

This is not about amateur football

No longer. It is up to the TM, Rider and mechanics to make sure the rider comes to the line with the proper colour on. Same goes for dirt deflector.

Especially if they won the event.

Ignoring the fact that SKY quit the Speedway coverage as a cost reduction exercise, and chose several low cost filming sports such as Netball. Not a laughing situation, but purely an internal SKY policy decision based on paying massive payments they were committed to pay having overstated their bid to film and present Premier Football.

Nope. The Cup plus 10 little ones usually.

Or who had perviously had experience at the NSS.

It's bloody freezing at the moment, every day, all day.

Yes, it was Chris I meant John. She used to stand with us when we stood in front of the Office, and would go anywhere for Chris, even staying overnight at his house if he had a few meetings together down south. I don't think even I could pick myself out, presumably it was in brown sepia.

Great to hear that. I was due to go, but unwell in the morning. Is that the same Doreen who is Carl Wilkinson's fan and sponsor ?

It was probably Ronnie, not Terry.

Let's hope for a snow/ice free February. As well as the track to be pulled back, it will be be necessary to also reinstall the fence posts and overlaying them with the wire fencing and the tensioning wires, as well of course the track lighting. It's not that short a job as made out. I've moved a fence out to accommodate the new air fence to maintain riding lines, and it took my team several weeks and we weren't touching the actual track surface.

I don't think any motorised sport goes backwards for any reason, but I think F1 did ditch the big engine (5litres ?) down to aspirated 1.5 litres many years ago.

Certainly the photos that Stoke Potter has kindly put a link shows the centre green quite elevated, with the middle part higher than the white line level. Obviously I must have seen it in 1963 on me and my mate's 2 weeks tour of tracks, sleeping in my car with a track every night( Rye House on Sunday). Sadly I saw New Cross in that holiday in 1963, and it also closed down after that year. Was going to go to Norwich, The Firs, that year but left it for a later year and missed out due to its closure. Certainly lost a lot of tracks in the boom years of the 60's but I saw West Ham before that closed. .

Jim is the BSPA expert guy on mechanical issues, whilst Kelvin is an ardent ex rider come technical guy who fronts the PL TV average. Kelvin is highly regarded for his technical views and has already endorsed their use in our leagues. He's probably already tested them.

I thought the same at the time. There has to be a sponsor who makes a lot of guarantees.

Was there not a plan approved by the council late in 2018 for the provision of a large trailer park for our lovely travelling fraternity. I know we had a debate on here about how it would affect the training track. I was told it was down the line, and the training track could be safe for a few years yet.

I remember Sun Street from the early 60's. Was the track sunk down below the level of the grass/soil, cos I can remember I couldn't see the lower half to the riders on the opposite side. Might just have been they hadn't cut the grass of course. Adams, Harris and Peter Kelly I think were riding for Stoke.
