Ian Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Well, I missed Norbold broadcasting to the nation. I hadn't counted on it taking ten minutes to download something called Real Player to my PC. I trust it went well, Norman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) You can always listen to it on "Listen again" on BBC Essex...www.bbc.co.uk/essex. Go to Listen again then to Steve Scruton and I'm on after about 44 minutes. Yes, I think it went well. There were already two messages waiting for me when I got home from people offering donations to the Museum.

I particularly liked the way you emphasised that speedway history is not just sporting history but social history too. Also interewsting to hear you duck the question on whether your main interest is Clacton history or speedway history! I think we all know which one it is, though. Keep up the good work!

Thank you, Ian Also interewsting to hear you duck the question on whether your main interest is Clacton history or speedway history! I think we all know which one it is, though. If you all know perhaps you could tell me because I really don't know. p.s. I've looked up interewsting but can't find it in any dictionary...

Paul Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Well……. “Didn’t he do well”. Well done Mr Norbold! A good ten minutes and I learnt something! Shock, horror! I did not realise that speedway [as with football] had an entertainment tax levied on it after the war, [i guess similar to VAT today] and unlike footy, which you say was able to get about 60 percent back and speedway got nought back, and to add salt to the wound they said speedway wasn’t a sport ! Just a shame it was not a bit longer interview, but hey, a bit of worth while publicity for Sunday and of course the museum. Look forward to catching up on all the pre-season gossip at High Beech on Sunday and I must have a look at the back of the pub. Mr Norbold say’s there are is still some evidence of the famous old track at the back of the pub in the Epping Forest Conservation area. Roll on Sunday!
