Talk about an overreaction! Plenty of observational comments but nothing untoward here that I can see.

Would you buy it if they did?

Wayne was his younger brother not son.

Scunthorpe, Boston, Ipswich & Exeter.

No idea how many crashes were his fault but Wayne Briggs seemed to be in plaster for most of his career.

On the few occasions I had a go, keeping things in at the other end was more of a concern!

I keep seeing this in regard to Mike but he won everything of note that he could have. World champ in speedway & longtrack, WTC winner, British champ, BLRC winner when it actually meant something. A pretty tidy list by most standards.

Darren Grayling was gash at Eastbourne and Oxford.

Rob Grant once scored a 12pt max as a No.8 for Berwick at Barrow in 1981. Unfortunately for him, Berwick's results that season were later expunged so it is not now officially recognized. Still some feat though.

I guess you mean Tom Hark, probably The Piranhas version.

What would they be selling?

Would be poor vfm at some tracks e.g less than 40secs per race at Plymouth.

Not if Sophie Nicholls is the guest!

Wasn't Robert Craven Peter's son? Another hard act to follow if so.

SOLD: Speedway Stars Jan 1989-Nov 2003 in vgc. Free of charge, collection only from Southampton area.ken Update: Now taken.

In truth, the decline was well underway before then but that was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. The poor racing combined with the loss of the classic speedway roar was too much to bear.

Metaphorically. There will be no sign of it on those bland race jackets though.

Which London fans are these, the ones that didn't even support the last London tracks in sufficient numbers to prevent them from closing down? Or are you aware of thousands just waiting to visit a new track in Swindon?

Very sad news. Russ was the first rider I ever met properly, in 1978, when he came into my Dad's shop to order a cover for his yacht. He even offered to meet me at Poole ("not a bad track but too narrow") when I was next there and take me to the pits. He also gave me signed photos of him and his father Frank both of which I still have. An all round nice guy who even then was still thrilled that he'd ridden for Belle Vue. R.I.P Russ.

Nothing wow about it from where I'm looking.

Read it again - he specifically said motor sport not all sport and he is absolutely correct.

It was exposed in the NL. At this level he will make Bomber look like Todd Wiltshire!

Or their tartan - Bert Harkins.

Is Hedon still undeveloped?
