Poultec is a very successful company that primarily deals with training and apprenticeships, so the idea was to give the young riders all about running their business, accounts etc, as well as diet and fitness, and they have a well equipped workshop for learning about the mechanical side of things including making their own parts. https://www.flickr.com/photos/the_womble/albums/72157657413955128

not like you to be a doom merchant for speedway

Esbjerg have the SoN this year, wonder if that swayed anything

HAS to be a well sponsored event or it will be a no go for more than a few

track is much improved but it's still bumpy on the outside of bend 2 especially early on

definitely needs to be an incentive instead of standard BSPL money. they should do the British Final over a number of meetings

tracks like BV sort the 4 out on track from rider to racer. big track should be more common

it's speedway, riders get injured, how many teams in the country will finish with their starting 7?

Kemp announced

Didn’t like him at Wimbledon, didn’t seem interested, just going through the motions

always a nightmare when East Anglian teams visited, Kings Lynn having Lee & Jessup was never fun

i think both Leon and Drew will finish with 5 - 5.5, both got so much improvement in them

i agree, once they closed off most of the stadium it really lost it's attractiveness .. it was going downhill for years but that really did it for me. good memories of sitting on the bend 2 terrace arguing with Ipswich supporters

here's Norick Blodorn in action

the place has a lot to answer for, my dad met Ivan M there, my parents met there, and i met my ex wife there, my ex inlaws met there, so some good some not so good

not another post deleted and i missed it too

looks a good prospect, seen him in Czech Republic and Germany and he's looked really good both times, possibly better than Basso that everyone is raving about

exactly my point, cantankerous old git

seems like a number of threads have disappeared

hated it, i knew so many people around the stadium through supporters club and mates i just felt too self conscious. brilliant track though, small but surprisingly fast

used to be some good times on the Chalfont coach away trips

was that when they started being sponsored by Chalfont Coaches?

i think it was when the golfer took over, surname of Brown. i used to go chat to Maido in the speedway office during my lunch break when i worked in Copper Mill Lane around '84/5 time

ok, to save the forum becoming overrun did anyone go to speedway prior to 1948 or can that award go to Hyam and we can all be done with it?

that was my nan and grandad, they lived 2 mins from Plough Lane in Havelock Road
