Sad news indeed. Alf was a great character remember him doing the track shop at Hackney and then Arena with his son Keith. Condolences to his family and friends.

The forum is superb off season for finding out signings for clubs and other info. Also during the season for discussing matches and the live updates are great. Long may it continue.

They also used to drag the call out as long as possible to get more money from you. Bryn used to cough a lot probably after puffing on his fag in between giving the individual scores out!!!

Bryn used to do the Hammer Line and the London Speedway Hotline which were the 0898 numbers maybe he may know.

Your team could be 1. Watt 2. Garrity 3. Sundstrom 4. Nelson 5. Mellgren 6. Bunyan 7. Mear

Dont remember it ever being contested on a mini league basis was one leg at Plough Lane and one leg at Waterden Road.

Out of interest Bryn how many editions roughly of the Kestrel News were produced? Used to be a great read on a Friday before the meeting at Waterden Road.

No Shadders Rob would do a good job at PL level. I think Garrity will be top drawer next season hopefully the hammers will sign him as a double up rider if that rule still exists in 2014.

Would Rob Mear make a come back to the Rockets?

Good point Phil could work ok in the summer but the other months when the football season is on, people will either be at matches or watching Soccer Saturday. Promoters have cancelled meetings in the past during the evening as the crowds would be low due to fans watching football instead.

Some great banter on here much better than the EL section. Rebel wonder kid do you know the steward personally?

I bet the promoters will think Oh yeah we have a british world champion which means the crowds will come flooding back and they will stick with the same for next season.

Well played Orion you may aswell have a few quid on Brum aswell at 13/8.

Great stuff Chris, Bryn is a legend at Lakeside. Hope to see you posting on here soon Bryn. We need you back at the Purfleet raceway asap to answer the phone calls from Robert in Herne Bay about the weather!!!

Get well soon Bryn sure you will be up and about soon.

AFC Wimbledon play at Kings Meadow.

The Hammer Richie Lawson will bang in a max and leave Shadders the only Rockets away fan in the stadium shaking his head as he enjoys his meat pie chips and gravy!!

Bet 365 go - 8 Swindon on the handicap so worth a punt. Anyone else having a go? Kildemand - 1 v Skornicki at evens also looks decent so have backed that aswell.

Worrall would have to come in if he dropped EK. Has been riding Saddlebow Road every week recently so his home track knowledge will be important.

Is anyone having a punt on tonights meeting Brum v Swindon. Orion must be lumping on the away win!!

Before the superb live updates and the internet were around, if you could not attend a meeting how did you used to get the results from your team? Waiting for teletext used to be terrible as the results never used to be on there till about 11pm long after the meeting had finished. I used to phone the London Speedway Hotline where Bryn would do his report live from the track!! This used to be quicker but quite expensive as the match report used to be there about 10pm. Are the speedway hotlines still going? Maybe Bryn could tell us his memories of reporting on the various hotlines as he used to do most of them!!

How about Stevie Boxall or would he be like Mear another ex Rocket coming back and not living up to former glories.

Rye to pull off a shock 46-44 victory and Shadders will be so chuffed he will buy a kebab from the chippy.

Are you happy with the Pontus signing Shadders? Would you like to see Boxall back?

Could be worse Shadders you could have Big Ron back as team manager like the early 90s!!
