I like that - but I haven't had a Bath for years.
I'm a Shower man myself - for some reason I find it even harder reading my BackTrack in the Shower. :D
I'm afraid I won't be buying these two Books as I have saved every copy of 'BackTrack since Issue One. Had I not done so - I would have bought them like a shot.
Simple answer to your question is - Yes. I have a fair number of your Books now and they are a very good read. I am not that interested in today's lot (as you put it).
'BackTrack' and 'Classic Speedway' does it for me.
I always look forward to my copies with relish.
I must admit I never ever saw that. I did see the Holmqvist with a 'k' a couple of times though.
Thank you BL65 for your explanation - much appreciated. I thought that the 'k' was a typo to be honest.
No problem with Swedes for me - I would have preferred his brother.........
................ or Matty Kus of course.
Apart from that it seems like a fairly decent Team. The Resrves may or may not be a problem - but let's hope that it will be the latter.
Very interesting. Have you anything else on former Sunderland 'Saints' Riders? I know their Speedway Records but haven't any in depth knowledge like this.
Jim Airey, Grdon Guasco, Graham Coombes, Ray Day, Ken Sharples, Maury McDermott, Colin McKee and Paul Sharples.
Great Post.
I'm here.
And he should go. It would be better for his career to have a change and, in my opinion better for Newcastle too.
Wells would be a pretty good option for me.
Might I gently remind you the Elite League is no more thank goodness. Actually - the Premier League doesn't exist any longer either.
It would be very difficult for me to think of a bigger misnomer than 'Elite' all things considered.
Difficult to argue with that. I will give you the fact that money is the only justification for it. From a pure sporting point of view it is wrong.
Still doesn't make it right that the Team that wins the League over a whole Season then has to then go out and win it again right at the end of the Season when some of their foreign Riders have gone home.
What about those Teams not involved though?
I had the privilege of meeting and chatting to Reg at a Halifax Reunion some years ago. A wonderful man and great conversationalist. It was great to hear about the old days.
