First time i saw him in the pits at comets land i said then he was as high as a kite a well known local rider looked at me and gave a thumbs up, mr godfrey tried to calm him when rasmus caught him on the line ,stood with my 7 yr old grandson who wanted an autograph we were told to p*** off , one of his helpers later came and said sorry with garrity watching then asked him why he said sorry when told he then called him a stupid ( u know what).he now has plenty of time to think about those days !

Do u think the holder boys wanted to ride together and threw the dummy out when they couldnt, or perhaps no brown envelopes involved?

Do u really think that Dan bewley and his crew coming to ride in a mickey mouse meeting at berwick on a wed night counts as Elite sports.!

Ofcourse the football team might not be where they are had the not replaced Workington reds football club in 1977? Their was another sport more popular in the town then !

I think that was the following year when mike sampson threw his over the stadium wall .

Remember the comets getting well beat in 1975 first leg knockout cup final with some dodgy ref decisions by am sure ex rider reg trott with charlie dugard sat next to him in the box.

Torquay with the big red bus for a weeks tour with 24 old dears drove past somerset and plymouths stadiums the old dears loved it and everyone had at one time been to derwent park in the past.

Up here in comets land we are due colour tv soon and some people have stopped pointing at the sky when an aircraft goes passed.

Who gave u the leg up doris

Its the law u have to have a twentymans when u go to allonby,a bit like burger and chips at newcastle or pie and peas at redcar.

For years we spent out hols up the road on blue dial caravan site, went shopping im mport on the bus from allonby and as a treat my dad would borrow a car and do a chip shop run to a little shop on a side st with the mother sat making patties giving out orders to her family cooking and serving, i know the mame just cant spell it lol , qieckos??? But like alot of places it aint what it used to be

At last a pass and the director missis it

Wish they would get shot of that camera in the sky

If they landed at maryport (the queen of the solway) they would def want to go back to france lol

Are nig and kelvin at the track or back home?

Seem to remember the comets won at rye house with 3 riders scoring 39 between them and steve lawson getting the odd point for the win.think the other 3 were mitch graham mal mackay and alan cowland anyone confirm?

Close racing but a bit follow the leader

Like they said straight back to tapes no need to put fuel in and adjust the back wheel , could a rider change bikes in that situation?

Good banter about the fuel and false starts from the shouty boys

I met my wife at a swingers party , bit of a shock she told me she was going to bingo

Dont forget the damage done to workington as well fine sunny evenings u cant ride, dark october nights left to win everthing.

Rugby league pitch sir, football or rugby union NEVER lol

Point i was trying to make was i thought eastbourne had a few younsters on their books why bring someone else in ?

Gen question for mr godfrey, when u marked out the track was it to a specific plan or did it just happen to produce good racing ?

Good to see plymouth getting some meetings on but, 3 teams loads of riders out for a ride and eastbourne have to use a guest
