  1. Looks like someone is telling 'porkies pies' then? 'Swindon Motorsports' directors need to speak to each other. Otherwise their 'honesty and integrity' could be severely harmed.
  2. Have a look at Ventura Raceway in California. Used to be tag lined as 'Commotion By The Ocean'. When I went in the 80's and 90's you parked on sand dunes looking out onto the Pacific. The 'Beach Bikini Competitions' at the interval would get a good crowd of non speedway fans attending! Not sure if it would be warm enough to stage them at Northside though!!!
  3. I don't believe a Poole fan will sleep any easier than a Swindon fan tonight. The GI cancer is always close to the surface.
  4. ... and a team 3rd from bottom could win the title!!
  5. ....... or even better 'The Ford Principle' .... how to bend them !!!
  6. Some consider it to be a 'five-year plan' that is strictly adhered to... and then junked after Year #1 . Things were better when the AGM was a Spanish Piss-Up! At least then fans could understand the thought process that went into the next seasons 'life changing' turn for the better!
  7. Probably the last 'respected' engine tuner. I wonder who he got the telegram from?
  8. At P'boro' my trainers wear out walking from the car park to the grandstand. I will have to check what make they are? I think they might be Anidas.
  9. Similarly 'Northside' alienates three other 'sides' particularly us from the South! It could have been called Westside'. .. but that's another story!
  10. It would be good to know the details, as it would help me decide whether I "Boo him" or "LOUDLY boo" him the next time I see him ride!!!
  11. Would a name change from 'Monarchs' to 'Sturgeons' help in finding a new track?
  12. Ha ha... Sam would be #1 for two teams 13 miles apart... and I thought doubling up couldn't get any worse!!!
  13. Man Utd home to Leeds at 2pm on the 18th. Perhaps some of the riders want to go there instead.?
  14. Based on his initials 'Bomber' should have been nailed on for the Spoons! Disappointed that any current Wolves riders would ride in CH colours.
  15. The misses said to me, "You don't seem to visit many tracks these days?" It reminded me that 50 years ago I averaged over 5 meetings a week over the whole season and my team had a home meeting every week! 50 years ago we had the following options for the first Saturday in September : D1: Belle Vue v Poole Cradley v Exeter King's Lynn v Leicester Swindon v Glasgow Halifax v Coventry D2: Berwick v Workington Canterbury v Hull Rayleigh v Scunthorpe. For today I have NDL: Leicester v Kent. I commend the Promoters on their inability to delight me and want my money at the weekend.
  16. Sadly Panthers options are impacted by not being able to call on Chris Harris as a guest!
  17. Will Kelvin have to have a 'tyre-ometer' to preview the next coverage at The Showground?
  18. I'm sure an exclusive agreement with "Trotters Tire-Tanic Homogonised Tyre Company" will help the 'BritSpeedProm' Cartel in ensuring the sport turns the corner!
  19. Does that mean my "2017 set of Jason Doyle is worthless!"
  20. Is it time to put studs in the tyres as in Ice Racing? That way one tyre could last all season and the studs could rip the track up and save the need for extra track grading.
  21. Of course it will be on because its on TV...... oh, unless the promotion looks for a dodgy weather forecast and gives the cameras' time to get to Belle Vue!
  22. Couldn't Greg Hankook get them some tyres?
