So 'Skidder1 seeing as you describe last night's attendance as a "Very poor crowd," how many do you think were at the meeting? 500? 1000? 1500?

Am awaiting further details but sadly for all like myself who knew him, and Oxford Speedway, it appears that that Norman 'Nobby' Hall was rushed to hospital last night and passed away earlier today. I'm honoured to have been able to count him as a close friend, my thoughts are with his family at this difficult time and I really hope you agree with me that we must now re-double our efforts to save Oxford stadium in his honour. R.I.P. Nobby

Prevents 'wrong way round races' and i seem to remember an event of that nature at Crayford.

To keep you in suspenders GRW123? AND to prompt 47 pages of postings on this forum!

4pm Monday April 14th JH followed by a 'Fans' Forum.' Full fixture list, as it currently stands on club's official website at: http://www.kentkings.co

Pleased to hear BUT will roast pork and stuffing sarnies be on sale at your home meetings?

Will poss be at the Premier League Fours - that'll be enough for me! Personally I prefer the racing at King's Lynn and always have but am pleased that the Panthers WILL be racing this year.

I'm going to miss my weekly Tuesday return one day trips "abroad" from here in Kent to the IOW but will be there for shareholders meeting in October. Hopefully shareholders will be provided with up to date accounts as last set they were given were unaudited ones up to 28th February 2013. Now any ideas as to what to do on Tuesday afternoons & evenings?

Interesting post Parsnips old fruit BUT aren't you supposed to be decorating?

I too would hope that Wightlink have been thanked by the club's directors for their superb backing over the years for without it we wouldn't have seen speedway staged at Smallbrook from 1996 until 2013. Whether or not they would be able to offer similar backing to the club if the sport were to return to the venue at some time in the future remains to be seen.

Guess you're unhappy that new deal has been announced eh?

Totally agree Lioness especially having made a good friend during my time at Oxford Speedway who, despite having been battling the horrible disease for many years, is amongst those closely involved in the campaign to bring speedway back to Cowley.

No good I'm afraid as I gave up smoking in March 2012.

I suggest you read 'Conkers' post! Meanwhile anyone got any ideas as to best thing(s) to do to help ease an aching neck?

If anyone after reading the clues you've given in your posting Conkers still fails to grasp the fact that Tai is indeed British, then I fear I might have severe neck problems as a result of shaking my head in sheer disbelief!

Not sure what 'gustix' is getting at posting the above! The press release is on the IOW website.

With respect 'gustix' a Press Release following last night's meeting was emailed out to the normal 45 outlets on the Wightlink Islanders press release distribution list at 3.58am this morning.

A sad day indeed with our sport left to mourn the passing of another of speedway's truly great characters and my thoughts are with his family at this time. Those of us who had the pleasure of knowing him well will never forget him. I fully agree with all the thoughts concerning him expressed by 'Spiegal' above. RIP Alf - it was a honour to have known you.

The BSPA have announced dates & venues for a six round championship this morning. Go to: http://www.speedwaygb.co/ for details.

Although I couldn't possibly comment, some might say the riders any team manager picks in his side should not be making mistakes either but they do! That's life isn't it? EVERYONE makes mistakes - even "the best team manager in the country" to use your own definition of him! I'm just hoping speedway never follows the oh-so-ludicrous example being currently shown within top league soccer in the UK when, if anything goes wrong at any club it's deemed all the manager's fault, he gets sacked / paid off and toddles off to await the next offer to come his way leaving another (who was probably blamed and sacked from the manager's/ assistant manager's position at another club in the past following a run of poor results!) to be drafted into the job and hailed as some sort of miracle worker! Anyway well done to Middlo for his considerable efforts, congrats and good luck to Rosco in the job and with Phil Morris / Neil Vatcher working hard on the development of young British talent, in the look term things look fairly promising to me.

Thanks for that JL and I can confirm that shareholders have not been provided with any additional info to that from Companies House which you have interpreted.
