  1. Well someone should say it: Bloody good meeting, well organised, congratulations all round - I suspect that an impressive sum was raised.
  2. Jason's got a stalkerJason's got a stalker
  3. the answer to all Darcy's problems: http://popist.com/s/e562190/
  4. What that SCB (and I don't mean the Speedway Control Bureau) knows the rules better than the BSPA
  5. 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?
  6. I took in and ate a coronation chicken sandwich last night ...boy I'm such a rebel!!
  7. I agree that it should be cheaper...if you can get the riders to ride for less!
  8. Exciting kiosks! - you get easily excited in Swindon!!! (Whatever happened to Burnt Kiosk our Swedish number one?)
  9. 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"
  10. Ah memories If only someone had written a book about it
  11. But nobody remembers who won the silver medal for pedantry!
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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?
  15. Shocking indictment of British speedway - all those foreign winners!
  16. He was a late change written into the programme, so maybe it is a similar name ( e.g. Wilshire)
  17. Reading 1-4 in red Weymouth 5-8 in blue Swindon 9-12 in white Exeter 13-16 in Y&B heat times (not complete): 1 65.4 2 64.6 3 66.3 4 63.8 5 65.0 6 65.6 7?? 8 67.3 9 68.7 10 68.1 11 ?? 12 71.8 13 70.9 14 73.8 15 71.1 16 75.9 I'm guessing it rained!
  18. 9/7 RR was for Leif Wahlmann (from filled in prog) 3/9/84 Junior Tournament (from filled in prog - not my writing, may not be 100% accurate, standard 4TT race format) Exeter 30 Mike Semmonds 3 3 3 0 9 Brian Hussey 3 3 3 2 11 Mike Coles 1 3 2 3 9 Steve Brennan 1 0 0 n 1 Alan Theobold 0 0 Swindon 25 David Main 0 3 2 2 7 Mark Gibbs 2 0 2 3 7 Steve Goodwin 1 2 2 1 6 Gary Chessell x* 0 1 2 3 Nick Bates 2 2 Reading 22 Andy Passey 3 0 n 3 6 Trevor Williams 3 2 1 0 6 Paul Hollingsbee 2 2 1 1 6 David Johnson 1 1 f 2 4 Richard Harris 0 0 Weymouth 19 Terry Mussett fx 1 3 1 5 Marcus Bisson 0 2 3 1 6 ?

  19. i think you are right, and that it was: The National Press Trophy at Wimbledon 23 July 1967
  20. 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!
