Parsloes 1928 nearly

Many thanks...: you're the real Star!! BTW, I posted this before but somehow it disappeared... Maybe it was moved to the 'Testimonials' section....

Hmm, wot: sharing it two ways or three...? : for as someone has pointed out 'twas Dudley who finished top of the league!!!

Sorry another request from ever-helpful Forum-ites for the scorers in a match of yesteryear! 23 April 1999 Premier National Trophy saw Arena Essex beat Exeter 55-35 - does anyone please have the two teams' scorers..?

Andrew Swales related to any of the other several Speedway-rider Swales-es...?

Okay - then all the more reason for Workington to arrange their leg of the final for Friday I'd say. Has a date yet been set for the YS meeting..?

Arnie - you are an absolute diamond!! Many thanx!! BTW, sorry about not meeting up later the other night at drizzly Arena - I met up with some pals formerly of the Plough Lane posse and headed off for the back straight. You know how hard I find it to resist some posse!!!

Can anyone help out with the details of the final heat of this YDL match (followed main Panthers vs. Sheffield PL match) on May 25 1998..? Score after five heats was 17-13 to home side but haven't got details of final heat... Also first names or two in the Sheffield side would be appreciated: A. Swales and C. Moorcroft.. Thanx in anticipation.

Hmm, I'd be surprised... So Workington are staging the YS Final on the Saturday then... Had they not considered Friday..?

I doubt it. Hasn't he been a Comets rider all season anyhow..?

Good to point this out. But I know for a fact that Roger Cearns would not consider opening his new track in the third tier. It would be PL for the Kent side. If the Central Park operation turned out to really invigorate interest in the town I think it possible that Iwade might consider re-entering the NL (this is the kind of words used in the prog. at their recent 40th. anniversary meeting) but one does wonder what the Speedway authorities and fellow Clubs would think about that. Too many times crying wolf I fear...

Well done to Gary for winning this - fantastic news (and there ain't too much of that about of late..)

Well indeed, coz one assumes that people "banned" won't feel able to show up without this.. How sad (and I've seen it so much since my active involvement in the sport began in 2002) that people fall out and things like bans and threats are issued . I've never known any enterprise quite like Speedway for this. :cry: One day when the sport's dead and buried, the historians shall look back and conclude it was the failure of those who did care about the sport to get on with each other for long enough and to pull in one positive direction which led to its demise.. Good luck to all at Weymouth. Maybe it's time now to ask the rhetorical question once posed by Nick Lowe: (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love & Understanding...

Hmm, leave me out of it...: I wouldn't even pay 50 pence for it!!

Fixtures from BSPA site this morning (21/10): 29-10-10 Newport v Buxton NL P/O Final - 30-10-10 Rye House - National League Riders Championship IND - 31-10-10 Newcastle v Edinburgh PLKOC Final Hmm, notice what's missing..? No mention of the Buxton (second) leg of the P/O Final..!!

Blimey, the reurn of James Clement has crept under the radar here...

Strictly speaking, first seasons in the league for both these riders though...

My oh my, cutting things awfully fine.... Can it really be true that the deadline for the play offs was 12 September!!!

Bloody hell, the plot thickens!!! The restaging of the YS semi (the result of which - obviously - determines who RH face in the Final) isn't now until Friday (having been rained off at Scunny tonight!). That must surely rule out the first leg of the Final being staged at RH next Saturday..!?

I really wish I could share this sentiment but I'm afraid I'd have to respectfully suggest that this is all but an impossible notion... Yes the NL, I pray, shall be with us but it's a certainity to be with less teams than we started with in 2010. The question is: how many less...

Hmm, well apparently the word coming out from RH was that the Fours/NLRC would happen on Sunday 31st. - this would clash with the Play Off Final at Buxton again according to THEIR website.. That would mean no Buxton in the 4s (er, making it the '3's!!) and no riders from two of the three top sides in the division in the NLRC!! Inspired!! As you say, the 'solution' is have it on the Saturday but we've all long given up on there being sensible solutions... After all, there was NOTHING at all stopping the 4s/NLRC being last Saturday but it still didn't happen...!!

Well it would seem that unless the Play Off and KOC Finals are run as a D/H then there's no chance of the 4s or a meaningful NLRC being staged.. As you say a shambles...

Hmm, the Lions vs. USA Tourists was perfectly fine entertainment - I doubt any punters on the night had any problem with it... Especialy when compared to the shocking fare barely served up by the 'seniors' afterward!! DID the weather really put pay to it...? It COULD have started straight after the USA match - the decision to fanny about for 25 minutes doing nowt and then have a long drawn out parade hardly helped. Having said that, the rain was only drizzle and it should be noted that the final race of the night (heat six of the LRC) was completed in the FASTEST time of the evening...: hardly suggesting that track conditions were too bad to go on...!!

Hmm, yes maybe....

Er, two Sundays left of the season. Buxton in both the KOC Final and the Play Off Final... The first leg of the KOC Final scheduled for next Sunday 24/10... So that would seem to rule out that date for either home or away P/O Final leg... So how do we reckon that the NLRC & Fours can happen on the 31st. without that clashing with the Play Off Final - either the Buxton or Newport-staged first leg...?
