norbold Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Couldn't agree more, scarletrider. As this is really the only part of the BSF I am interested in these days I think it's time to say goodbye to the whole lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Ah you gotta admit it has almost become a music hall section....the old "tallest rider" catchphrase seems to get trotted out ever more frequently. No don't laugh!If you laugh he knows i am being rude. I fell in love with Mary from the dairy, But Mary didn't fall in love with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Mary had very good taste...! Ouch! Anyway whilst we are on the subject of Music Hall where there any of the oldies from back then interested in speedway?We often get a thread about famous fans at the moment such as Mark Weber.But back when speedway was really popular i guess there must have been some pretty famous fans attending.Harry Lauder for one lived a hop,skip and a jump from Plough Lane.But he also had a cnnection with Millwall football club,so maybe he attended New Cross?

BOBBATH Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Well - in 1965 or 66 West Ham speedway was mentioned in a sketch by Dudley Moore and Peter Cook on their TV show.-it involved Dud saying he had taken a girl to WH-I understand dave Lanning tried to use it for some sory of publicity. Slade were Wimbledon fans in the 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
