I think white city took over from Oxford and only lasted a few seasons. Soren karlsson brings back memories and soren sjosten riding for Birmingham.

Cheers bruv

It was 1976. Just checked

Was that 1977?

Is there anywhere you can check on past results from the 70s as I need to know if it was birmingham or not lol

This coach went to the afternoon meeting and then on the way back went to Reading vs Birmingham, I think. We wasn't told on the way that we would be going to two meetings so my dad was lucky he had enough money on him.

My memories from early 70s until closing... Collecting hubby bubbly bottles for a penny each. Winning at white city at a Saturday afternoon meeting in the mid 70s. Going on the coach to Bradford to witness their biggest away defeat at the time...kenny carter was in his last season.. Watching hans nielsen winning by nearly half a lap for oxford My favourite swindon rider in the 80s was bo petersen...really thought they would win something with crump, nilsen and simmons The smell of the bikes and fried onions from the burger van. Watching swindon getting a 5-1 in the last heat to win at coventry Standing on a cold bank in the dark watching a tractor going around.. Some good, some bad..

Apparently you could lean out of the window of the house next to the pits and rev the bikes up.

We could have indoor speedway at the oasis!

Let's hope Andy Hobbs is the Roman Abramovich of Lydiard.

The cranes have disappeared so maybe you are right. They look like rows of bus shelters stacked on top of each other. I think I would like to see a few bricks being laid before I get too optimistic.

Inside the grandstand was like a hot day in Iraq.

They've started putting the grandstand together.

Ok Clive cheers

we can see what the league structures are for next year...no reason not to do both You would hit a thousand points by mid June

I'll hold back a spare place for you before it starts in the spring lol

You don't get nothing more for a pair in this game..

That's two....only five months to get the other 14. Haha 3pts for a correct result 5pt bonus for correct result....excluding draws

Fair comment Say 3pts for a correct result

Any one up for a bit of fun next year with a prediction for each league match of 2018? 10 pts for each correct score 5 pts for correct score of one team....eg. Two riders fail to finish a race or t/r A running league table will be published every Sunday. first 16 names will be entered.. Winner at end of season gets nothing...just for fun Add your name if interested 1. Tric trac
