spiegal Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 A brilliant article in this week's magazine by Ove and Oaksie...worth the cost of the magazine on its own.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subsequently I've seen a few people posting that they have had no post for a week. Probably that flood and damage has caused a backlog.

Mr. Clemens Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Great article by Ove Fundin. Makes you wonder if Ove realises that the youths who spend so much money on all that equipment do so just for show. The highly decorated van indicating to those who don't know anything about speedway, that this must be a highly successful sportsman, famed throughout the motorcycling world. One could imagine those youths reading the article that lists Ove's achievements and the way he (and others) went about it and saying 'yes but we can swan around with all that paraphernalia looking the part, getting all the plaudits, without all that effort you put in'. I don't doubt that this crossed Ove's mind and I don't doubt that he realises that what he has said won't make any difference at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 I dont think Ove was too bothered about a showy display, even to riding the track spare. But he got the best out of what he rode. Just like Leon Madsen can get his bike out of corners at a gallop, OF had the skilll to get both wheels in line asap and get the drive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bob at herne bay Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Ove Fundin Fan ...... you mention Leon Madsen (who's he? and what has he won? ) and Ove Fundin in the same sentence. LMAO. Different sport back in Ove's days. One bike with the front wheel removed, slung in the boot of a car, or on a makeshift bike rack. Not a sponsor sticker in sight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customhouseregular Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 The shock of seeing the headline in the evening news and reading the report is as fresh in my mind today as then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve roberts Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 1 hour ago, Richard Weston said: Terrible shock. Totally stunned when I found out. As a Lynn fan at the time, it hit hard because of the connections with some of the dead and injured. I read recently that Terry Betts may well have been in that party but an injury picked up at West Ham whilst representing Great Britain meant him withdrawing from the trip.

We actually didn't expect it this week. Obviously the past four months have had a devastating effect on sales of SS through newsagents, supermarkets, etc. And savings had to be made on top of furloughing some production staff. Our printers offered us a slightly thinner and cheaper paper that would also help with postage and freight charges. We were assured that it would not have a detrimental effect on the appearance of the content (pictures, etc) and I don't think it does. We plan to review the situation again later in the year when, hopefully, there will have been a pic k up in retail sales with people more able to get out and about to shops, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
