Yes it was Poole, he did fall out with the Promotion, but I don't know why.

I miss Halifax, and the Shay, with its steep banking's, the place was a bit of a dump, but the racing was very very exciting, and the riders got close to the fence I swear that you could see the white's of there eyes as they went passed. Nowadays I don't think that you could have a Halifax anybody more the health and safety would not allow it.

I must say that my memory must have been playing tricks with me on that one, and yes I do remember turning out for the Tigers, signed by Ray Glover if I remember correctly, I think Ray did try to get him to return back to Sheffield the following season, seem to remember he was looking at flying up. I also seem to remember in the Speedway Star, some young girl writing to a Dave Jessop weekly column, asking if JD was a natural blonde or was it dyed, cannot remember DJ's answer. Have to admit that he was not a favourite of mine, I always thought he was a bit flash, but there is no doubting that he was a good rider though.

If my memory serves me well I seem to remember that he did not make much of a protest about it.

The thing I remember about Tony Davey was his riding style, had a nice easy style of riding as though he was sat in a nice comfortable chair.

I don't think that we are that badly of at this moment.

Looks like a good read.

Read the article about Ole, and I have to say I dislike him even more than I did before, okay to make statements like shut down GB speedway for two years, but how many people does he want to put out of work, and what after that, making that kind of statement what next nothing. :mad:

I remember they guy, amazed that he has just retire from riding must have been well into his 50's, done fantastically well to remain competative all this time.

Try your track shop.

Somerset.

Seem to remember this been mentioned.

Stayed pretty much unknown then. :lol:

I reckon we could well see him back before the end of the season at Poole, good luck to the lad and lets hope that he can beat the demons that got to him. He always struck me as someone who struggled with the pressure. He is doing it the right way one club one league to start off with, I hope that he realises which side his bread is buttered, and my advice to him would be if he was going to ride for another club in another league other than his native Swedan, then come to England and ride for the Pirates where he know is is loved.

I remember in 1980 , Sheffield signed two Polish riders, one Weislaw Patynek rode one meeting at Eastbourne for the club, and then injuried his back ride the training track, and never rode for the club again. The other Pole incidently was a certain Jan Zabek, father of Karol.

Not quite sure but I think that when he had that crash he finished up on the terraces.

Not sure but have you had a look on the Birmingham Speedway website, you might find what you are looking for.

Already been done.

Cheers CH.

Very good.

Anybody know what Neil Evitts is doing now.

Niced to hear that the project is still on, but I don't think that the tone of your post is very nice, for every know it all there are about 10 others who actually care, and want to see Russell succeed in his project.

I look forward to the issue and to see what he has to say, personally I don't like the guy, but I will be interested to see what he has to say.

What about James Birkinshaw; (1) Sheffield Tigers (2) Sheffield Prowlers (3) Belle Vue Colts (4) Newcastle (4) St Austell (5) Workington (6) Stoke (7) Boston (8) Buxton (9) Glasgow (10) Berwick (11) Edinburgh (12) Linliithgow (13) Wolves 2nd And this season (14) Birmingham.

I would go for that idea as well, I just think that I would like to see teams of 7 riders.
