Middleton always seemed to have someting extra when up against Briggo but rarely had the better of Martin Ashby! Great memories Sid!

One of my memories of Hyde Road was Hans trying to cover the entire track in an attempt to keep both Peter Collins and Chris Morton at bay in one race...he failed!

...and we were conned the tie in 1972 due to Briggo spitting his dummy out!

Remember him taking part in the World Pairs Final at Belle Vue when paired with Egon Muller.

Hear and smell it from Headington?

Thanks for that...quite bizarre!

Perhaps he was also the referee in charge when Hans Nielsen literally fell over the tapes during one individual meeting?

My uncle was also part of the SOS committee back in 1976...let's hope for good news!

I recall he was involved in a controversial decison whilst a referee but for the life of me can't remember what?

I seem to recall that Ivan toyed with idea during the winter of 1972 due to a contractual dispute with his club at the time?

Remember Phil "Digger" Bass when he rode for the "Cheetahs"...riding a wide outside line.

I seem to recall that he and Bruce Penhall didn't exactly hit it off?

RIP Pete...always a popular figure at Cowley for many years.

At least he was honest!

...if I remember he also ran the speedway results service that you could access by phone? I know that Dave Lanning wasn't a great fan of his commentary style but then Dave had his critics!

If I recall the commentator at the start of SKY's interest in speedway was Eastbourne announcer Tony Millard?

Bit like Roker Park in Sunderland where I used to go on all too rare occasions.

Glad that I managed to visit Hyde Road on a number of occasion...never made Kirky Lane.

Great footage!

...bit like those who couldn't be bothered voting during the EU Referendum and we're supposed to feel sorry for them.

When did they stop being part of what was always referred to as the "Green Sheet Averages"? Are end of season averages therefore devoid of bonus points when putting a team in place under wharever points limit is in place on any given year?

I recall that one year bonus points weren't included in a rider's average?

I thought I remembered some such occasion!

Was there ever a season whereby bonus points accumalated in any given match were added to the overal team total?

I've seen sections of the film but not all unfortunately.
