  1. I can't remember when fixed gate positions came in but if they were in effect in 83 then it's Cradley for me.
  2. In 1954, Golden beat Lessiter in a run-off after both scored 14pts.
  3. How can a GP that's never been staged (Russia) be one of the most popular?
  4. Means nothing then as its not theirs to sell.
  5. Do you mean Poole Council as they are the stadium owners.
  6. I thought it was the Sydney Sports Ground where he was killed, not the Showground.
  7. Um, turnpikes ARE streets, albeit originally with tolls!
  8. Who is going to develop and build these engines for a single domestic market?
  9. It's been confirmed by his Father on Facebook that former Workington, King's Lynn, IoW and Peterborough rider Tony Dart has sadly passed away. Tony suffered horrendous injuries in 2001 but still managed a track return with substantial metal in his right leg. He eventually had it amputated and, even then, manged to continue racing sidecars. RIP Tony
  10. Ah, the hypocrite Murray Walker. Some years ago, the Wimborne grasstrack club were seeking a new venue and were offered land somewhere near Fordingbridge. The village locals were having none of it and one of the most vociferous opponents was one M.Walker - yes, the very same.
  11. That is a beautiful JAP, what speedway bikes still should look and sound like! You look to be taller than the average rider but still really stylish. Also, is that a 22" rear wheel?
  12. With the odds of speedway not returning until late in the season, there seems little prospect of a GP series. So, could this year's champion, if there is to be one, be decided by an old-school one-off final?
  13. My wife goes daily to buy a local newspaper. There is no-one who delivers it so it's the only option.
  14. As they are self-employed, how long can riders go without being paid, especially the journeymen?
  15. A team that more accurately reflects the age of its fanbase.
  16. An ex-rider told me that everything is rosy when it is all still second nature. When it isn't, when the thinking starts to pre-dominate then it's time to quit. The latter happens with age and Crumpy is 44. Will certainly be an interesting watch.
  17. Yes, not the most exciting rider but neither was Fundin. However, anyone who wins 4 World Titles cannot be regarded as anything other than a legend.
  18. Yes I do. I've used it to watch all SGPs without issue since the inception of the channel.
  19. I see a few references to the M25 as an issue. Being unfamiliar with that area, are there really no feasible alternative routes?
  20. No need to pay if using a PC, I just use the Opera browser which has a built-in VPN.
