Anyone having a punt on tonights meeting at Monmore Green, Wolves will obviously be - something on the handicap. Has anyone seen any early handicap prices yet.
Just read this debate about chairs at Foxhall. The geezer in the picture Shadders was he the one muttering the c word?
Great banter on here much better than the EL section!!
In this weeks Speedway Star there is a good article on the Arena 1991 treble winning team. Mentions what everyone is up to now days Moggo, Bo, Brian Karger etc.
They just say little is known of Andy Galvins activities these days.
Thanks for the team Tony. Dont worry about the memories of Hackney Speedway I already have the History of Hackney on DVD that Re-Run Productions did years ago.
Went to Waterden Road every week from 1982 to 1991 so this would be my team from that era

I went to Plough Lane every week from about 1983 to 1991 so my team would be.

Would be interesting to hear other fans 1-7 from maybe this era or the 60s or 70s.
Agree with a lot of the comments on here about Bombers gating. He should get an ex rider who was a good gater Kelvin Tatum, Chris Louis etc even Simmo to give him a tuition about making good starts and he would then have half a chance. Maybe he has done this already with Rosco or Marc Courtney.
Havent started a sparklers thread for years so here goes!!
The Lions will give Shadders boys a decent meeting but Rye will win by 8 - 10 pts. Any Leicester fans going to Hoddesden?
Having seen a bit of Ricky when he rode for us and for Eastbourne and Poole over the past seasons. If he makes the gate he will do well if he misses it he wont pass anyone.
He reminds me of that other Rockets/Hammers legend Mikael Turnberg. I reckon Kling will get double figures in all 3 matches for you Shads.
