Shouldn't you be on your way to Wembley?

What that SCB (and I don't mean the Speedway Control Bureau) knows the rules better than the BSPA

Very helpful and very well organised

I will find it difficult to get to Owlerton much before 5pm on Sunday. As there should be a big crowd I suspect the car park may be full. Can anyone advise me as to best alternatives for parking?

I took in and ate a coronation chicken sandwich last night ...boy I'm such a rebel!!

I agree that it should be cheaper...if you can get the riders to ride for less!

Exciting kiosks! - you get easily excited in Swindon!!! (Whatever happened to Burnt Kiosk our Swedish number one?)

I think Lynn is colder!

At Rory Schlein meeting. Riders presented with a bottle of rum each at start. Presenter to Chris Holder: "bet you'll be looking forward to drinking that?" Holder's response: " nah mate I don't drink"

I'll be at this one, and could help out

Ah memories If only someone had written a book about it

But nobody remembers who won the silver medal for pedantry!

You can't blame the council, they made a site (Island Road) available, and granted Stadia UK planning consent (the so called "racino"). But Stadia UK never built anything... sounds familiar? However the great tragedy is that some time in the 1990s Bill Dore/Pat Bliss surrender the 99 year originally granted to Reg Fearman.

As a reader of Speedway Star I'd rather read something other than made up news. That's what a lot of clubs do, and I don't see how producing a "what Tony Atkin has for breakfast" type story would be a good use of Jayne's time.

And don't forget SCB, he provided those FACTS that supported the argument. Oh and me too because I also recall Risager was very highly rated. Do you see a pattern emerging?

Shocking indictment of British speedway - all those foreign winners!

He was a late change written into the programme, so maybe it is a similar name ( e.g. Wilshire)

i think you are right, and that it was: The National Press Trophy at Wimbledon 23 July 1967

No that's what you squeeze over your smoked salmon! Goes well with Robinson's lemming barley water and rounded off by a moist slice of lemming drizzle cake.

On the plus side he's an experienced quality rider. However he is 38 and hasn't always produced his best form in the UK. Given the pool of riders available (and willing) to ride in the UK not a bad signing.

Best example I can think of is Andy Smith 2002 Grand Prix regular 2003 EL rider - Oxford 2004 EL rider - Swindon ..but still managed to make a Conference League appearance for Oxford in 2003!

Looks fine to me. Maybe if all you want is big names it is a let down, but for me it's a well balanced field with some exciting riders and a few interesting inclusions.
