brilliant rider and to be able to win the Longtrack title in '81 showed his talent on a bike

message his name, i'll speak to my dad

and mine. my dad was groundsman and my mum walked the greyhounds round before the races. i also met my ex wife there, and her parents met at the stadium too

coming from someone who last went there in 1964 you seem to know a lot

do riders get an average reduction when out of the sport for a year? if so, just apply across the board except for those that rode in Poland, and the figures may suit those that want it lowered

Happy birthday Phil

oh well, have to hope i can change all the flights and accomodation again. if it gives more chance for it to go ahead though ...

unless ticket sales were pretty good and they are a bit worried about selling as many next year?

brilliant rider - RIP

if all these riders want to drop the British League, then let them without argument, if the (almost) impossible actually happens and the promoters stick together, it could be the ideal time to have speedway's very own great reset. i used to love the National League (80s version) and a league like that now without the Poland bound riders in my opinion would create a great starting point to move forward and let the BL create it's own stars.

this could be nearer the reason

i don't get the Star but was anything done on Kevin Doolan recently, he's been a decent rider in Britain for a while

i can't see a 'normal' for a long time unfortunately .. stay in, figures go down, go out, figures go up - ad infinitum we have to learn to live with it like we have flu and get things on track again

no but he rode for Oxford

can't believe there hasn't been any Exeter meetings mentioned yet!

Mike Spink - Canterbury

Roger Johns was captain at Wimbledon i think

if i'm blocked i've no idea why he would WANT to see it

good to see you post LT

just a thread to see who has been going to speedway longest on the forum just so another member doesn't start 'hinting' threads, just get it over with please

to be fair, anyone that's putting that much money into riders deserves some respect

not at Torun?

maybe they'll end up ground sharing with chelsea ladies

i lost both football and speedway too, i grew up going to both as plenty of others did, so it's very much a mixed bag of feelings. i went to Plough Lane a few weeks back to have a look and was shocked at how much had been done in a short space of time, time will tell if it's a success or not but i wish the Dons all the best.

4320 scoring has, for me at least, made the PL Pairs an exciting meeting to watch for a number of years, with good races at the back trying not to finish last. the biggest downside i see with it though is when there is an exclusion/fall especially come semi final time
