Gresham Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 ....bored at work, so having a bit of a moment...feel free to add to the list....for me... The smell of Castrol R Individual Leathers Monkey masks Upright engines Cutting tyres Coming home plastered in dirt and not caring. Standing up against safety fence only inches from riders. Meaningful second halves Golden Helmet Race Jackets with a simple, clear large design that stands out. Russian Touring teams. Louder bikes Deeper tracks Less rain offs Fans covered in badges, rosettes, and year bars down to their knees ;-) Although some bloke from Rye House was giving it a good go last week at Somerset :-) Collecting autographs because it meant something back then. Test matches against the USA Exeter Bradford Hull White City Bristol Weymouth Newport Cradley Oxford Reading Halifax Characters Fisty cuffs and hand bags Cheese and onion rolls from back straight of Blunsden. Enough nostalgia for now..... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve roberts Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Wolves v Cradley. It angers me that we could and should still be experiencing that right now. I was talking to a Wolves fan only this last week who told me that Dudley Wood hadn't been developed. I thought that it had been built upon (Barrett's Homes?) years ago?

Paulco Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I did so I know it's still possible Aaron Summers does it quite a lot at Glasgow , carrying on that tradition so wonderfully carried out during Shane Parker's reign at Ashfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
