I'll be following speedway updates as me speedway account's not allow this Pirate to travel to this one when it comes to priority. Wishing I was there tho

When is a draw not a draw? When it's a painting!

I will be supplying pens as someone as said Oxford don't do any merchandise. Shane Parker Pens, just remember to turn the ink taps on!

Stevie Worrall says Pirates will win with "The King and I"

Anyone competing in sport should av a liddle common sense to check that even if they take a cold medicine it doesn't contain anything on the banned list. Surely it's as simple as asking the speedway powers that be or the organisation that deals with sport testing can I use a certain product for example a cold. Not rocket science is it?

When they are up they are up When they are down they are down And when they are only halfway up they visit Numan for men!

Pirates to complete their unbeaten qualification for the Jubilee Final. C'MON THE PIRATES #piratepride

Was, as u know, a reference to the night in question not how long I've been going. Will leave this irrelevant conversation in ur very capable hands. Toot Toot

@baiden Still, as I mentioned in my post above, I'm still attending the pairs on Friday so that gives a positive message not a negative one. Toot Toot

Hey well, ask Mr Shovlar to produce the evidence as he took photos & then the truth be known! Toot Toot

How can you say my comment is nonsense/ridiculous? Av u been with me to all the meetings that I have attended? No you haven't so that makes ur reply irrelevant.

Been a while since I've been to the pairs as I've always been in Cardiff on the Friday when it was held at Somerset. But not going to Cardiff this year so a visit to Oxford & the pairs

Very good question, of which I await the answer. I need to program my abacus

WINborne Road was rocking to a bigger than average crowd vs Oxford & Lions av had very similar crowds to their Championship meetings. On the whole I believe the Jubilee League as been very well received.

But be very aware................you may have the sun behind you on bends 3 & 4 but the storm billows of dust will be in yer face and everywhere else! I hope Oxford have sorted that out because when I was there with me Pirates (Championship meeting) that was totally unacceptable especially when selling the sport to new people on that evening. I've never been in such awful conditions in 43 years of going to speedway. I referred to the water truck as a dog cocking it's leg to piddle! I'm attending the pairs and as we know the temperature is going to be el scorchio centigrade so they should be prepared to get plenty of water into the track. As they say on Network Rail......See it Say it Sorted!

Also on the BSPA website. Take a few spare pens though coz I can't see that staying as it is as per norm CHAMPIONSHIP PAIRS LINE-UPS - Monday, August 8, 2022 (britishspeedway.co.uk)

And I'll be the one with a knotted handkerchief on me head & reclining in a deck chair!

I'd rather the Pirates win it and be known as Mickey Mouse than not compete and be known as a Donald Duck

Dickson confirmed 3 leg Final after they beat Scunny on Saturday. Mind yers, that's wot me 2 Lions mates tell me coz I must've been turning a deff un when Dickson was speaking! Me ears don't understand Lion language!

The Pirates are going to put on a Royal Command Performance

Very well said. I've been to Cardiff about 14 times but the celebration of 20 years should also be it's last year. For me it's time to move on to stadia that will fill such as Bradford, Belle Vue and/or somewhere completely new like the Alexander Stadium or a stadium in London. West Ham still as the shape of the athletic's track around the pitch. Spurs Stadium as also been m I know, it's never as simple as saying there's a stadium, put a track in & off u go. I ain't naive enough to think that. Cardiff as been great but just because it as a roof it doesn't outweigh the cons imo.

Thank you for your response Brian, great to hear from someone who is more knowledgeable on these matters than from those who are so dismissive & yet know little about the facts.

Radio Caroline was a Pirate radio station so no wonder we play Sweet Caroline!

You say no chance but then you say other events apart from athletics? Also the stadia, where temporary tracks are laid for GP's, are owned by other organisations outside of speedway so on the face of it I don't any difference with the Alexander Stadium. So while u may be correct in saying no chance ur points don't appear to back that up I think the British GP would be better attended in a more central location like Birmingham & Bradford than being out in Cardiff. Whilst it's a fantastic stadium with a roof the GP would be better served in a smaller & better located stadium so it fills to capacity. I went to Bradford '85 & that easily beats Cardiff.

Reasonable weather in November last year when we Pirates wrapped up the Championship
