  1. Ivan Mauger Kenny Carter Billy Sanders Michael Lee all superstars...
  2. Last comment there explains a lot....
  3. Michael Lee managed it but I don't think he had to set his bike up
  4. Just make sure you bring it along on saturday and i want it filled in with your best handwriting
  5. Anyone at Rye hear the announcement about not letting the kids dig in the sand???? it was me trying to get away from Shazzy. To be honest it was a 'fairly pleasant' evening on the first bend with Shazz. There wasn't too much blood and I was able to limp to my car afterwards. I feel I must admit about being wrong when I told you all Shazzy was fat. She's bloody enormous
  6. probably catch them down the pub allegedly
  7. don't think Barney has managed to navigate his way into the new forum yet...
  8. so how about it...if me n gibbo entered a pairs meeting in canterbury colours would anyone come and cheer us on???
  9. still got my coat from '87 shazz... trouble is the era Gibbo rode in they only had bearskins
  10. same here... should have made the pilgrimage anyway shouldn't we? my ears weren't burning Dick but I hope everything said was good don't fancy sponsoring 'someone' to ride in the STRA do you Steve Gibson & me will be joining and intend wearing our Canterbury race jackets whenever we ride. Steve rode for the Crusaders in 1975. They have a pairs meeting which we will enter together so hopeful of getting some Crusaders fans along to cheer us on
  11. Good to see you back Dick... If the meeting had been on you would have seen lots more old faces
  12. it seems the 'powers that be' weren't even interested in a 75th anniversary meeting, let alone an evening of nostalgia. if things were left to 'the powers that be' there would probably be no speedway full stop
  13. The problem then is that you might then not get all the riders you want
  14. Fine, but does that mean you have to announce it to everyone?
  15. There were a few unsavoury comments about Kenny as well as some very positive ones... mostly positive thankfully. If he had been alive he would have been included in the World Champions Nostalgia Night on merit I am sure
  16. if it's gonna help put bums on seats... especially at £25 per ticket maybe i'll just have to check with you before posting on the forum
  17. Not quite, but when someone I know is asked to give up their room so Jerzy Szczakiel can have it sort of gives the game away don't you think
  18. Szczakiel I think is going to the VSRA meal the night before so I expect he will be at the nostalgia night with all the others
  19. I have 4 proper scrap books here which include all sorts of programs too. 2 of them are from 1946 and 2 from 1947. Would these be worth anything to an enthusiast? They both include cuttings from the speedway publications of the time plus a lot of original photos. Programs include things like, Wembley v Harringay 1947 etc, and also some Speedway News magazines from 1948. Later on I have Speedway Star & News mags from 1970 - 1974
  20. What year was that Shazz as I can remember either it happening or someone telling me about it? S'pose it was probably you telling me at end of season whilst threatening you with a handful of something
  21. Even the end of season fun and games seems to have stopped in British speedway... was always a laugh having flour and egg fights, mechanic races etc.... what happened to fun in the sport?
  22. Yeah it's true...it's all my fault. I have led Shazzy astray since joining the forum. If it was possibly a speedway rider's middle name it could be nearer the subject, but a footballer that retired 25 years ago is pushing it. Johnnie H was a top fella at Canterbury. As stated in the previous forum he was prone to 'bending' the truth. Was pouring with rain in Canterbury so I went accross the road to Sainsbury to phone the track and ask if the meeting was on. Johnnie answered and said they hadn't had a drop all day!!! I was accross the road...it was pouring down!!! Top fella
