If anybody remembers during the 1950's for while BBC showed the second half of amateur football matches on what became Grandstand. The only one I remember as we did not have a TV at the time and I saw it at a friends house was a match featuring and coming from Walthamstow Avenue.

Is this the team once known as Walthamstow Avenue a one time force in Amateur football

The standard of BMR management was exemplified by one of them who arrived in his 4x4 when the whole car park was in gridlock. Unable to grasp this basic fact he proceeded to embark on a horn blowing extravaganza not having the wit to realize that nobody could get out of his way even if they wanted to.

IMO the folding of Rye House was much to do with the standard of person now in charge of Speedway . Again IMO Spivs and Wide Boys .

Having watched Speedway from late 1940's, the only thing that makes me lose interest is the contempt with which many promoters (the Peterborough BB situation being an example) seem to treat their customers.

neither do I

What i never understand is that I have Sky Q with a mini box, the whole goes to main box which distributes it to mini box, yet they charge me twice

BT IMO amongst the most greedy avaricious out fits in the world

Must say got mine yesterday and it has arrived on time for last few weeks following a prolonged period of regular delays

Thats alright then!!!

It is not just about people dying which is bad enough, but long term possibly life long effects on those that have recovered. Seems to me we should realize this is a previously unknown variant of the Covid strain which is evolving all the time. Probably we will have to learn to live with it for the foreseeable future.

When and if Speedway returns to this country in general and Peterborough in particular, it is to be hoped that consideration for the paying public will be high on the agenda and the universally condemned shafting of BB holders will be reversed. Speedway under the current stewardship without any effort to regard fans as the customers is likely in the near future to have 90% of the fans in the BB category.

No doubt that a supreme talent threw his career away. Believe that he now thinks the same.

First saw him at Wembley in the fifties. Family legend has it that he was once the boyfriend of my late Aunt Cissie.

Contrary to many peoples views Poole have always been one of my favorite teams mainly as my favorite all time rider Brian Crutcher came from there . Matt Ford alienated a lot of people during his tenure but Speedway will be the poorer without Poole.

IMO Rick Frost was allowed to contribute by others a pot of money which was used as revolving back scratch . They allowed him to do it knowing that the team that he had in mind would not be allowed. He did not understand that Speedway even then was in the hands of Spivs and wideboys, and run under a totally different set of rules ,decency and morality than the business world he was used to.

Take your anger out on Ford not the club.

I only hope you post is a joke in very bad taste.

Not sure what rules are about sharing the stadium. Always used to be the home of Poole Town. In fact the father of someone I know was Player manager there for a while.

Speedway has always been in the grips of narrow self interest of the promoters

Panthers management should reflect that screwing BB holders will not be forgiven or go away. Decency and integrity is such a small ask.

Got permanent reservation. Will still do so despite Mr Risings fanatical support for Brexit

As some may know following months of silence they offered to refund my money. This has never been about money but rather the deafening silence from the bosses. Having now heard from them I am quite happy for money to be held over till next season. "Deo Volente"

Despite what others have said I know of quite a few in this area who will never have another flu jab, as they suffered a "reaction" to the one they had had. In this area also doctors were quite open in admitting that several of their patients suffered skin problems following a flu jab

Rare if at all have I had food at Peterborough. The food is course in the hands of EOES who are responsible for booking whatever provider they see fit.
