I'm thinking Bob Dylan credited Abraham Lincoln with that! Also consider..... If at first you don't succeed... give up. (Homer Simpson) or If at first you don't succeed... repeat posting it (Johnny Gustix) Also to repeat... for me its: Belle Vue v Oxford 1963... Oh What A Night

Birmingham v Poole Championship. 13/04/22
Lefty replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I was driving on the A41 Black Country route near West Brom just after 2pm and the deluge was such that the force on the windscreen made it feel as though it was pushing the car backwards. -
'DIDDY' David Hamilton wished Oxford Speedway all the best on his BOOM Radio slot this afternoon. Thumbs up to him and to everyone at Cowley this evening.

Too true... Loved seeing riders learning to ride the Shay... and having pre & post beer in the 'Three Pigeons' is one of the greatest ticks on a shale lovers 'Bucket List'.
-
As you travel from West Brom and move closer to Wolverhampton, the nickname undergoes further name change / modification. Some might be considered printable!
-
Is that the same Peterborough that are riding at Poole tonight without him?
-
Are the Coventry riders Chris Harris & Adam Roynon any relation to the riders of the same names who rode for Birmingham two days ago at Wolverhampton? Or even the Chris Harris (Berwick) & Adam Roynon (Redcar).......

Wolves v Brummies (Past & Present) 28th March 2022
Lefty replied to Beowulf's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The line-ups make me think its more suited to be called a Tribute Night featuring "Luke Becker & The Double-Ups" performing with "Chris Harris & The Guests"..... with the guests tbc! Had it been Coventry then the band could be "Chris Harris & The Selecter". -
And even some of the posh Cradley gals had them as well
-
Couldn't Chris Harris have been a guest #1???

As someone who has driven / travelled to away matches for over 50 years following the Wolves; I have reached a breaking point where the Motorway infrastructure and constant lane closures etc, combined with Speedway promoters destroying team support / allegiance does not inspire me to book online at an extra cost to get a car park facility that I can't guarantee getting there to take up. I find the Speedway promoters' inability to delight the customer amazing. My mates don't.... they stopped travelling years ago and now cherry pick the home meetings as well. Yes I'm a "pay at the gate Dinosaur"who doesn't care for the new trend of needing a 'blue card' to get two quid off at Edinburgh, a mobile phone App to go to a Cardiff GP or to get caught full price for an old programme with an insert! What's next.... a centre green presenter with a monkey???? Now that would give me a hissy fit

Thank you all for this information. Looks like a revisit to Cowley will not figure in my speedway plans for this year.

Can we have special 'Chris Harris' and 'Scott Nicholls' scratch cards that have their photo on it and every teams race jackets. Then when they guest for each team we can mark off the jacket's! Also there was the special cards that toggled two pictures as you moved it. So the Sam Masters card could show an Edinburgh race jacket in one view and a Wolves in the other!

3, most expensive car parking???
-
Nah much better with the cheese triangle, biscuit & the pickled onion in the packet!
-
No go for me either. I get "This attachment is not available..." on both phone and tablet.
-
And from a riders perspective it's the transition period from being a hobby / sport to a job / business.
-
'81 was National League when Hans Nielsen?? / Dam McCormick / CVS?? decided it was better to run Birmingham in the top division and stuff Wolves! '82 '83 Wolves were shut until the Pete Adams revival.
-
Is that because it's 1 mile from the Villa ground and 3.5 mile from the Albion ground?
-
...And have a rider called 'Moonlight' Graham?
-
I keep hearing that Belle Vue are chasing a young Aussie that lives in Perth???

As a youngster I loved the Wright Wood piccys and the Craven and Hyde Rd classics are still on my living room wall (and I'm a Wolves fan!). In later years I was amazed by the quality of action pics in the Arena Essex programmes, you could count the wheel spokes with ease. Apologies for not knowing the name of the photographer.
