Machinery seems underpowered. He needs to get sorted quick. Aaron summers in proctor out

I’m afraid in my opinion it will need more than one new rider to bolster kings lynn’s squad. Next one out should be proctor, should have never resigned him.

Let’s hope they succeed in doing so

Can’t understand why the delay is in announcing Lawson.

Thanks for your input,much appreciated

Just wondered if anyone knows who holds or has held the most track records on tracks in the U.K.?

Lawson to be final rider in my opinion

Well if Richard Lawson is not the last rider to sign for Kings Lynn I will eat my hat.

Update:- Sorry everything has gone quiet for a considerable amount of time on investigating the release of king cinder which you may know was shown on the bbc in the seventies in a six part series. I have been in touch with a company called simply media who I believe to be the last avenue to go down in order for it to be released. I have explained that I believe there would be a great response from the speedway community that it would be viable to release it, and what I would suggest is that all interested parties would go to their site which is www.simplymedia.tv and either email or phone in. All their other dvd releases are on their site under consumer sales. In the meantime I await their response from either email or by phone.So please go to their site and get in touch.All the best for now, Rearing to go.http://www.simplymedia.tv/

UPDATE FROM THE BBC. Hello Kevin, and many thanks for getting in touch with your enquiry - it's great to hear from you! My name is David and I am a senior member of the BBC Audience Services department's investigation team with responsibility in this area, and so your contact has been assigned for my personal attention. I was very interested to read your suggestion that King Cinder be released on DVD - it's not a series I had actually heard of myself so I have looked into it! Peter Duncan I of course recognise from his subsequent presenting of Blue Peter, but also Tony Caunter more recently from EastEnders. I would explain that whether or not any current or archive BBC programme gets released commercially would down to a purely commercial decision. BBC Worldwide Limited is the BBC's commercial subsidiary which exists to monetise BBC programmes and brands through merchandising, DVD or digital downloads, and programme/format sales to other broadcasters in the UK and around the world. BBC Worldwide would also be the ones who would deal with any licensing enquiries from third parties who were interested in acquiring the rights to programmes to release them commercially, eg on DVD. As you will appreciate, it can be an incredibly difficult - and thus time-consuming and expensive - process to investigate and then re-negotiate legal permissions and broadcasting/performing rights, and for many old programmes this can actually be impossible. I have to say that it feels very unlikely to me that releasing King Cinder on DVD would be commercially viable in light of the costs involved in doing so compared to the expected returns, and at the end of the day BBC Worldwide (or any third party distributor who may be interested) exists to make a profit which is then reinvested back into the BBC to help us make more new programmes and services thus keeping everyone's TV Licence fee lower than it would otherwise have to be. You can certainly ask BBC Worldwide directly if this is something that's on their radar, and you can essentially pitch to them why you believe it would be a good idea for them, and you could also see if any third party distributors may be interested in approaching them about this series? Many thanks once again for taking the time to get in touch - I hope the above will be of some help to you.

Feedback Summary - Need to release King cinder on dvd Feedback Description - This 6 part series was screened on bbc1 in 1977 I am here to represent a voice from the speedway community who are very much interested in seeing this released. There will be a fair amount of revenue to you if this is released. This series is often talked about on a forum and I'm trying my utmost to pursue it to be released. I do hope this happens, we are all waiting for a happy outcome on this query.

I've got the book, and it's still obtainable in both hardback and paperback if any one is interested to purchase.

Wife's name was Jean Blatch now Barnes. Her mum Elsie used to sell merchandise in the track shop at Hackney.

I thought you worked there, just mentioned you to my wife Jean and she remembers she thinks her name was Mavis. She also has just purchased thommahawk book through Chris Fenn

Yes rob my wife was spotted in the crowd, another reason for obtaining a copy. She used to be Barry Thomas fan club secretary

Thanks for info Rob. Yes will never forget the great screensport part of the European sports network. Sadly missed and never forgotten. I also have a computer mouse pad with logo plus a t shirt with emblem on like my avatar.

Nice one

Not exactly what I was looking for, however very much appreciated. Very rare seeing Peter craven falling off especially twice in the same heat

Thanks Rob,and thanks for supplying a link

Hopefully I will hear a response very soon. When all will be clarified as to whether this is correct

I don't know if everyone on this forum is aware, the BBC screened a six part serial about a speedway rider and his girlfriend against a criminal gang running an extortion racket run by a nasty leader and hells Angel in a South Coast fictional Seaside Town. Episodes were screened back in 1977. Listed in order as follows:- The Barons, Todd, Spiders Web, Speedway, HomeTruths and On the track.I have tried my utmost to obtain these episodes. The Speedway racing was incidentally filmed at the Rye House stadium.I am at the moment in contact with the bbc and have mentioned that there is large speedway community out there whom I'm sure would purchase the DVD if it was to be released.I have a reference number with them and am awaiting a further response. So if everyone could register support for this post in great numbers, it will help me push the case. As you all may be aware it's about sales and revenue. Please support, many thanks to all that does in advance. Also please feel free to respond in any way you feel. All the best, from Rearing- to - Go.

Rip shazzy bird. Such a great person on this forum, she will be sadly missed

Ryan fisher

yes rob you've guessed it. For others who are not sure it is screensport part of the European sports network. Those were the days.

Will Kenny be frozen out of the elite league? Not looking good at the moment.what average would he be on for elite league or premier league?where do you think he will end up. Or is it the end of Larsen for the 2014 season.( I do hope not)
