Gemini Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Welcome dip ... Shame as you get older your eyesight fails a bit. Welcome to the forum Djp. As a fellow Leicester Hunters fan I can remember the good old days at Blackbird Road very well. I first started going with my Dad when I was 8 years old in 1949 so as you can see quite a long time ago. These days my Speedway watching is mainly at Coventry, with occasional trips to Peterborough and Oxford throughout the season as well. Also holidays seem to get planned within an hour's drive of a few tracks - just coincidental of course. Do you get to any meetings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
