  1. Problem solved for me, I gave up smoking 11 weeks ago
  2. FINALLY secured a hotel roon in the City centre for the Saturday night, so we don't have to sleep in the car now
  3. 100% correct. B4E just mentioned Andrew Tully. He looked fantastic at Rye. Couldn't he have taken Roynons place?
  4. Large ball park for the kids next door Sue, so you can leave them there while you wander around the museum.
  5. Must have done, because I was there on Wednesday
  6. It's not really advertised much once you've entered the park. It's tucked out of the way behind the kiddies ball park. We were in the museum for half an hour.....nobody else came in.
  7. Visited the museum today with the kids. First thing I noticed was how small it is, but boy..is it packed full of memorabillia or what!!!! We spent a good 20 minutes wandering round before settling into the small screening booth to watch some vintage 70's racing. Only left because the boy was getting bored and wanted to play in the adjoining ball park. I'd have gladly spent much longer looking around at the various exhibits and watching more vintage footage. The only drawback was having to spend £21 and a couple of hours walking the kids around the zoo with it's lifeless collection of animals (the big cats were particularly disappointing) and digest a particularly horrible vegeburger in the tatty diner before we could take in the museum. On the whole I'd definitely suggest you take a trip one saturday afternoon before popping over to Rye House, but take your own food or wait until you get to Rye House for the fish 'n chips
  8. Greetings. I'm looking for info on this short lived speedway venue. I've got this overhead, What I need to know is how it's changed from it's speedway days and if there are any links to photo's of the track from the mid 80's. Thanks
  9. That's exactly the kind of pictures I'm looking for..thanks What an odd shaped track that must have been!!!!
  10. Thanks to both of you. Just what I was looking for
  11. I'm looking for any photo's of the Hastings track. Reading through Norbold's book "Speedway in The South East", it mentions the track was still in place in 1975, so there may be some photo's knocking about. Any help appreciated
  12. Congrats to Adam. Obviously used to the concrete surface having spent a year at Rye House
  13. I remember him from Rye House in the 80's. He had a droopy moustache and wore a white coat from memory.
  14. These are the admission prices for the London Zoo in Regents Park...... Adult £13 Child (3-15) £10 Under 3s FREE Student/Senior Citizen/Disabled £11.50 Saver ticket: 2 adults & 2 children or 1 adult & 3 children = £41 For each disabled person, 1 carer can receive free admission. Adults pay less, but kids pay more, although London Zoo is MUCH larger than Paradise Wildlife Park. I worked out that admission to each for the four of us would be £31 to Paradise and £31.50 to London Zoo. It seems that Paradise is a little overpriced.
  15. Only went there once, in 1988...Rockets scored 60+ on a very wet Wednesday evening. Only remember Woods, Lyndon, Chalcraft and Brice for us and Gary O'hare and Keith White for Invaders.
  16. Brilliant site, thanks. I only went to Harringay once, to watch greyhounds, before they bulldozed it and put up a Sainsbury's store.
  17. Thanks, it does. Still needing to know the track length please, if anyone has the info.
  18. Any idea of the track length?
  19. Greetings. I'm looking for any photographs of Southampton, New Cross and Crayford speedway stadiums, especially overhead shots. Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be appreaciated.
