  1. Wolves fans always had to cope with 5th from bottom as a good achievement under Bridget & Parker, but had an invincible #1. We've just got used to it! As long as Cradley Heath finished below us it was a good season.
  2. Well London Stadium is only used as a "Rice Field" these days! And 'Ackney gave us "Make It A Date, Friday at Eight" & was it "3.2 Overtakings A Race! If its within 45 miles of Swindon then Terry & Clark could "Go for it!'
  3. ... and as an ex Poole rider he has a "Best interests of Speedway Average reduction Voucher'
  4. Rory would be very welcome back at Wolves as well
  5. Once again are we heading towards the British Speedway philosophy of "Penalised for being successful, especially if you are British."........ unless you have a promoter in the family? British riders should ALL have a 25% reduction in average.
  6. Will it stay within the 45 mins requirement to keep the myth going?
  7. Yep, presume admission price goes up to see pretty much the same riders & a change of race night, why bother?
  8. The shortage of eggs at the pre AGM Wetherspoon Breakfast Bash caused chaos as egg replacement wasn't available. Premiership promoters claimed priority, but were out voted and had to scramble for more bacon. It all made a hash brown of things! The Chairman was blamed for the deal that had given one egg supplier (Hen-ilass) an exclusive supplier agreement.
  9. Is that Cardiff in particular or Speedway in general?
  10. Great quote... but stop these riders wearing 'xyz' different 'team' suits in a week!
  11. Simples: Chris Harris guests for Lawson ... unless he's already guesting
  12. Positive #1: Wolves only tracked six double-uppers in their seven man team! Could've been seven! Positive #2: The Premiership Pairs lasted more rounds than I expected! Positive #3: (to be edited in later, if I think of one!)
  13. Was the proggy a King's Lynn one with the right date on or a Leicester one with loads of date changes and inserts?
  14. I had a chum who was a RAC-ist, Then he became an AA-is. Now he's a GREEN FLAG-ist
  15. Was it a Cradley fan complaining that the PC book had got no drawings in for him to use his 'Dudley Wood Crayoning kit' on?
  16. Fair call. By the way what is the last rule change that actually got more punters clicking through the turnstiles?
  17. Yep.... so another 'new rule' falls again at the first hurdle. I think the sport needs a new '10 year' plan!
  18. Is there any eco-friendly sawdust that can be put down these days?
  19. It's a shame the riders can't detune their engines, alter the tyre pressures, put a Football shirt over their leathers, put more tearoffs over the goggles..... oh and ride in the slush! It's called the good old days!
  20. 52 mins after Steve Shovlar''s post on page 75. Very poor communication given the travel distance from Poole.
  21. I've ben told that Subbuteo Table Speedway was staged there in the 1950's. There was four local teams, Panthers, Lions, Gorillas & Crocodiles. Hope this helps.
  22. According to Willhelmpedia there was a young Austrian in the 1930's called Aldi Hilter who took on a German licence. He had an accident where he lost a testicle and this curtailed his European activity. He's not been heard of much since his Farewell appearance in Berlin in the mid forties. There are rumours he was spotted in Argentina / Brazil, but his moustache trademark might have gone by then. Hope this helps.
  23. I would welcome Cradley Heath back... but don't tell my mates!
  24. When did THAT happen? Is it when Speedway introduced Play-Off''s?
