ignorant would be a more apt desription I think. Wolverine sounds like another Little Englander who thinks England is Great Britain. Would Wolverine prefer fans from other parts of Great Britain like myself not to go and support OUR country?

Kings Lynn from Edinburgh is slightly further, but at least we don't have the M25 I suppose We're leaving at 10am, hopefully be at KL around 4pm in time for some food, diet coke cos I'm driving grrrrr still I have a wee bottle of Bordeaux back at the Travelodge - luxury eh?

va piva prosimo (sp?) is all the Czech you need

I care

There were two big temporary stands when I was there late October. I imagine they will be in place again. Given the history of the Chapmans behaviour where Monarchs are concerned, I am the last fan likely to support KL, but after two visits there this season I would say it is one of the best stadia I have visited - certainly the best set-up in the PL and better than the EL tracks I have been to - Eastbourne, BV, Wolves Swindon and Oxford when they were running. I only do a few away meetings further south but I will definately be at KL next season.

Be lucky to find anything there but i did find a chippy and a Pink Floyd tribute band!!!

A common schoolboy error from our southern neighbours! They forget the brains of any country is at the top (present prime ministers excepted?)

Well READ your first post again???? perhaps amend to British?

Is england that small insignificant bit below Scotland that makes up a part of the BSPA?

Maybe a bit dear to put up 35,000 extra seats at Newport though Andy!

Houses were built on it Paulco, speak to Sunrise, she lives on the old start line!

Nowt really to see fb, just field now

Only one edit FB? have you ran out of drink or summat? They built flats at Powderhall after Edinburgh Council forced out the Monarchs - Although sympathetic to the families involves, It was funny when the area was flooded shortly after!

but as long as some guys still use Castrol R, the smell will remain!!

Probably because England are not competing in the World Cup, just Team GB? But what was the reason? most heat wins?

Well done Cam - hope to see you back in the Blue and Gold!!

I managed to pass Nicki P's motorhome on the M4 today without being pushed into the crash barriers :0

Well done Jason, you've earned it over the whole season!

you're doing him down a bit Davy.... he was actually #2 in '82, and could have won it had the referee made the correct decisions... Thanks for correcting me Steve, you're right. The sensible thing for a rider to do is quit at the top, but the temptation for 'just one more season' must be immense. As Lioness said it is so sad seeing Les on one of his ever more frequent off-days. Suppose though it's down to the individual rider, if they're still enjoying it, they'll keep going.

Still got to get the son to agree first Norbold, at the moment he is typing out the handwritten notes which I've not seen yet but I'll give him a nudge in the right direction soon ;-)

Says it all Sandman unfortunately, seen two examples of guys keeping going when they should quit this weekend, Les Collins and Barry Campbell...Apologies if this seems cruel but Les was no 3 in the world once, not even no 3 at glasgow now....other extreme, Barry has never recovered from a terrible injury, I really hoped he could hack it this year, but I'm afraid his confidence has gone. I cannot begin to understand what these two are going through on the track, but I hope that soon they will say, been there, tried my best, time to get out!!

I have a mate who recently lost his father at the age of 90+...Jack's father was an early speedway rider in the London area and scribbled some of his thoughts down on paper a few years ago....along the lines of...who put that f..... fence there???? I am trying to get jack to discuss a booklet or make the memoirs available maybe for the vintage speedway mag? Will take a bit of time, but I think within a year we'll have a close up view of how to ride speedway in the 30's... probably much like now according to Frede Schott...drop clutch, turn left....sounds easy...lol

Cyclone, couldn't agree more... didn't see the crash, (dont think I want to now...) The reason I try never to criticise riders is that they may not have the right of reply after their next meeting. Sorry if thisd sounds brutal, but our Sport is!!

Thought this was easy - just had to re-read the history of the speedway hoskins....obviously not a complete history as middle name is not mentioned!! Apart from that, what an excellent wee book. - I can still picture Ian Hoskins in the centre of Old Meadowbank winding up the crowd....circa 1964....was just a boy - honest.
