PHILIPRISING

NEEDED to get there about two hours early to get in. Those were the days.

YOU and me both.

BUSTER Chapman has two boxes where he entertains all his sponsors. BSI always willing to do highly favourable deals but few take advantage.

VERY few promoters attend Cardiff ... which says a lot really

FOR those who haven't bought a copy or read Wilkie's book, there are copies still available. And, of course, it is helping Alan and his long-suffering wife Jean. Available by sending a cheque or p.o. for £15 plus £3 p and p made out to JA and JA Wilkinson to 7 Cavendish Road, Worsley, Manchester M28 2TQ.

THERE will be speedway on BT, domestic as well as SGP. Why there delay in an announcement from BSPA HQ is anybody's guess...

WHEN Alan is well enough a friend drives him south to the NSS.

FANTASTIC character, real salt oil the earth, under-estimated rider, skipper of a multi-talented Belle Vue side and as important to the team as his more illustrious colleagues Peter Collins and Chris Morton. Fortunate to have a long chat with him at the NSS last year. As forthright as ever. What a tragedy his accident was, not just for Wilkie but also his long-suffering wife whose own life was turned upside down after that fateful evening. Talk about heroes ... Wilkie is one.

AGREED

NO

WAS a lot less than 90,000

SORRY about that. Don't have e a definitive answer but I would hazard a guess distribution problems because of the weather.

IT isn't BT that are holding up proceedings

TELEVISION companies want live sport

WHO said not anymore?

HOPE so...

THEY'RE not ...

WOULD have happened anyway. The SCB weren't going to back down.

NO team is likely to run every week, too few fixtures, so clashes can and should be avoided.

BUT its not the same people

AS a matter off interest, if you took all the doubling up riders out of their CL teams, who would you replace them with?

DO you seriously think that the reason attendances have dropped is solely because of television coverage?

THE SCB told the BSPA months ago that the "proposed" rule as written was not acceptable and would be open to a legal challenge that would most likely succeed.

YOU cannot c change a rule that was never a rule.
