Well done Tai who looked very quick also!

I think it would also help if meetings started at their advertised start time. Some tracks are not too bad but there are a few that have no urgency whatsoever to run a meeting promptly and you only need someone like Tony Steele in charge to be sure of a long night!

Dave do you know if Adams has now been paid all he was owed?

Done - good luck!

I would be interested to hear what Mr Patchett has to say about this!

Yes Nick Morris was there and I asked him if he fancied riding in the meeting and he explained he had no equipment available so that had ruled him out anyway.

Tommy Jansson Way - leading to the Gröndal track at Eskilstuna.

You are correct as after Coventry beat Hull 42 -36 to win the league they beat Leicester 50 - 28 in the Midland Cup Final second leg!

Brings back memories of Coventry v Hull on 13 October 1979 and an attendance of 20,000 plus. Some tracks don't get that in a season now!

I'm inclined to agree but I think it a little unfair to indirectly imply that Patchett and Rossiter have no sense because they purchased Morris!

I first started going to Speedway at Wembley in 1970 when Freddie was team manager of the Lions! It was also great to see him attending Speedway so regularly over the years! R.I.P Freddie

Given the current problems I'm not too surprised at Patchett's comments although I'm not sure his stated view is entirely consistent with his own actions in recently signing Doyle and Morris as full assets.

Good point - wonder whatever happened to Rossiter?

I'm looking forward to this having been to the previous four at Sheffield, Rye House, Scunthorpe and Birmingham! First rider announced is Ben Barker who has appeared in all previous Ben Fund meetings and won last time out at Perry Barr.

I am delighted to say I have never watched anything on Sky other than Speedway! No Speedway on Sky = Cancellation of Subscription!

I remember it well. Not too many reserves have scored a 15 point maximum away from home!

Thanks very much Conkers - certainly sounds worth a trip!

Thanks iris123 - very helpful.

I am thinking of taking these meetings in. Have you or any other forum members been in previous years? Any thoughts or advice would be most appreciated.

Interesting map as it is the only one I've seen with a road crossing the railway line between the E18 (to the North) and Solna Train Station (to the South). I guess this must be a new road that hasn't found it's way onto many maps as yet but it may influence which Hotel I stay in!

Riders so far:- David Howe Ricky Ashworth Simon Lambert Lewis Bridger Ben Barker Ryan Fisher Randy Oldenziel

Having watched Ice racing in Russia at -25°C the OTA should be somewhat warmer! However like oldtimer I have dived in and out of the clubhouse before now!

Looking forward to it - flights and hotel already booked!

Hej Johan - hope you are well! Fixtures also on Vetlanda's website now! http://www.elitvetlanda.nu/index.php?page=news&stage=1&id=2178
