The dreaded paint brush is going have to make an appearance soon steve. I'm not looking forward to it!

I cut my grass yesterday in readiness for this soggy spell. The joys of staying indoors!

And long may it continue.

They probably come from numerous defunct south east tracks. I know severel ex Wimbledon fans, myself included, that are regulars at Central Park.

It is all doom and gloom at the moment, but a lot can change in a few months time. Fingers crossed!

I'm about an hour away in sunny Surrey, although most weeks i jump on the train straight from work in south London. I might have to revise the latter, if and when speedway resumes.

Wimbledon used him at Perry Barr, he was superb around there.

Five years ago i lived in London. My life would be a lot different if i still lived there now.

I seem to remember the wolves riders having a sit down protest at Reading, complaining about track conditions at Smallmead.

A bit like speedway, hopefully!

You should copyright that one!

My dear old mum was at West Ham on the night Ernie Roccio lost his life. It stayed with her for years. She was always a reluctant visitor to Custom House, right up to the 1970's.

Us oldies don't care too much for grammar!

It must be unbearable Steve. I'm lucky, i live in leafy surrey. I've just done my daily walk on Banstead common, which is on my doorstep.

As the lovely weather continues week after week, a lot of speedway people must be thinking 'if only', i know i am. I know it's not important in the present climate, but this exceptional spring could have been a real shot in the arm for british speedway. We can all dream, can't we?

I knew there was a fire in there somewhere. It was a long time ago.

I'd accept any form of racing right now. The lovely spring weather adds to the frustration. If it was pouring down every day, i wouldn't give it much thought.

Like you say, this could be a once in a lifetime opportunity to totally rebrand the sport. Will those in power have the balls and the knowhow to pull this off, lets hope so.

As a neutral with no team to support. I must admit i enjoy the social side of speedway as much as the racing. This is the total opposite to following a Premier League football team. When generations of friends and family were separated due to the grounds being made all seater, football lost some of its soul. Although the stadiums definitely needed improving, especially from a safety point of view.

Not a lot happening on the race jacket front Sid. I'm still buying and selling a few bits on ebay to keep me sane.

Standard fare for dormant Stadiums. Shades of Cradley, Long Eaton and Powderhall.

Probably behind closed doors. My bank balance is going to be a lot healthier with no live sport to pay for. Apart from bills, I'm spending nothing on recreational activities.

When this crisis is over, there will be less people prepared to pay those prices. Keeping a roof over their head will be the priority.

1970 probably. The first season i stretched my legs and saw league racing at famous venues like Wembley and West Ham. It was a real eye opener for me as a child, and made me what i am today. A sad bugger!

From a long standing fan of over fifty years, i just don't think speedway makes good TV viewing. The amount of meetings i record and never watch is substantial, yet i attended 80 live meetings last season. The whole product needs a revamp, but with a worldwide recession on the horizon, this seems very unlikely.
