  1. I just phoned and secured the last room in the Big Sleep Hotel where we stayed on Saturday. I read some poor reviews on an internet site, but to be honest we found it ok. The only problems we encountered were the lack of parking (the reduced rate at the NCP next door solved that) and the creaky beds, although again that wasn't a problem for us, only the neighbours Looking forward to it already
  2. I heard a rumour he's down to ref the final GP in Germany, including the Super Prix final. $120,000 riding on the decision of this man.
  3. I wasn't booing him either. The ref was clearly to blame for the exclusions. All the Poles around me were booing him. Does that mean he's thinking about not riding in Poland?
  4. I have a programme from every speedway meeting I've been to since my first in 1985. I'm gonna have to spend £8+ to buy one
  5. Oh dear. We had a guy who was off sick for 9 months..came back for a week just before Christmas and hasn't been seen since. Someone said they saw him recently and it looks like he's put on about 5 stone!!
  6. I can't STAND em...Jellied eels AND Chas 'n Dave!!!
  7. I do..every day when my alarm goes off at 5am!!
  8. Problem solved for me, I gave up smoking 11 weeks ago
  9. FINALLY secured a hotel roon in the City centre for the Saturday night, so we don't have to sleep in the car now
  10. 100% correct. B4E just mentioned Andrew Tully. He looked fantastic at Rye. Couldn't he have taken Roynons place?
  11. Large ball park for the kids next door Sue, so you can leave them there while you wander around the museum.
  12. Must have done, because I was there on Wednesday
  13. 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.
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. That's exactly the kind of pictures I'm looking for..thanks What an odd shaped track that must have been!!!!
  17. Thanks to both of you. Just what I was looking for
