Tigerblade Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Probably an obvious one, but Nicky Allott can be seen helping Adam. Phil White attends Owlerton now and again, although I haven't seen him for a while. Did Ian Jeffcoate ride for Scunthorpe? He still comes to Owlerton as well. Hope to get along at some time, it's only about 40 minutes away for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Yes I think Ian Jeffcoate did have a few meetings for Scunny, but spent most of his career at Stoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scunny Stag Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 (edited) Someone said Julian Parr was at the practice session yesterday. Didn't see him myself but Derek Richardson has been several times with his son Scott, who is just starting out with speedway. Jamie Hildreth, who did a small number of meetings for the Stags, also attended the first session and suggested that he and Andy Walker, a second-halfer in the early 80's from Hull, were going to make a one-off return to the track. Of course Rob Woffinden is in Perth, Australia and may come back to these shores for a summer if his son, Tai, wants to give it a go over here. Then there was an earlier thread about Arthur Browning still racing a Jawa road bike on the Isle of Man this summer.

colin poole Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I've just spent the day with Andy Buck building a garage at his house.Yes Andy is a cop but in Sunderland where he is a dog handler. Very good at it too with a dog that has more bites than anyone else on the team. If anyone has photos of Andy with hair we would love it for the office wall Cheers colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
