Twice nightly at 6.00 and 8.00 live on stage at the London Palladium?

It wouldn't be the first time that Jon has ridden for Belle Vue, Rami. Some years ago he regularly appeared in the Elite team.

Can Belle Vue 'Colts' be added to the list, please. The promoters confirmed their intention to run at the recent National League AGM. I don't the names of any riders yet but there are a thriving bunch of eager lads who regularly ride second-halves at Manchester.

Belle Vue have now officially confirmed that they will be running a team - Belle Vue 'Colts' - in the 2011 National League. Whilst this primarily to aid the development of their present juniors it may be that they would need some men with greater experience to fill a gap or two.

I fear that any further downturn could, to all intents and purposes, prove terminal.

Could be rephrased as 'About time some had a clout behind them'? I jest! Ron.

I haven't read or heard any reports that it has.

Thanks for the info, Shawn. I didn't know that. It's a really good rule though. Regards, Ron.

So German nationals are barred from competing in British speedway - are they?

Yes, KBT, I feel that the club should be granted a facility and that the rider concerned should be penalised. Best though that we leave it to the Lord to choose who should be 'discipled'.

Belle Vue can only ride home matches on Monday or Wednesday (occasionally Sunday afternoon). The GRA - stadium owners- require all other times for greyhound racing.

You have my deepest sympath Youn Dietbowers. I can offer no consolation! It gets worse. I know that because I'm 27 years older than you and evry time I sit at my keyborad thekeys are in a diifferent order than the last time. The result? My daft compewter churns out rubbish - as yew can sea. It's all very sad and I don't know what the remedy is - if there is one With sympathy, Ron. BTW: This is a consignment of geriatic shoemakers! (a load of old cobblers)

What an interesting picture of the meanderings of the mind. Would you like the contact number of my psychologist friend?

Must have been very gruelling for those early pioneers of our sport. Picture, if you can, the 21st century rider doing sixty laps without breaks. Perhaps it was Norman Norbold-Jacobs and his hairy bikers who declared war on wayward journalists on 1st September 1939. It certainly wasn't Neville Chamberlain he expressed His Majesty's government's disapproval of the actions of Herr Adolf Hitler on the third of the month. Just shows that the Daily Mail isn't the only purveyor of the 'truth' which must be read with a selective attitude!
