We might find those who go for each other might have more things in common Who wants to go first lol Me next as I have nothing to hide as I use my actual name!! 1. Lisa (my username is first and middle name) 2. 37 (yeah, I know I don't act like it!) 3. Ringwood, Hampshire ( half way between Southampton and Poole) 4. Nothing interesting just work in my local pub. 5. Poole 6. My dad went and I wanted to stay up late on a school night! Lol. Took me a full season to get into it though. 7. Has to be 2003 season, the comeback at Coventry in the KO Cup final was amazing. Even Swindon fans wanted us to win but prob cos Leigh was in our team! 8. Not many with Poole doing well in recent years, but if it's a speedway moment I've witnessed than 2010 playoff final or a moment I haven't seen is the Darcy Ward crash, still haven't watched that. 9. Darcy Ward on track, or Lars Gunnestad was a fave when was a school kid. 10. Craig Cook at the mo (I think I have mentioned why enough times!! Lol) Don't like Robert Lambert much either but that's cos he seems to like causing trouble at Poole when Lynn visit. 11. Happy to watch most other sports other than golf and darts. 12. bluepride32 on twitter, lisacolette82 on insta or Lisa Colette Greaves on FB.

Col Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 - I think that is fairly self explanatory. - 41 - Also in my profile. - Telecoms Guru at large local institute of education. - I was a Cradley fan when I was young, had a season ticket at Wolverhampton & Birmingham in the mid noughties but couldn't bring myself to support Wolves. Have been to Perry Barr a few times this season but didn't during their years in the first & third tiers of British Speedway. If I support a team these days it's Belle Vue. - My Dad took me to Cradley when I was young. - Jan O Pedersen winning the World Title at Ullevi in 1991. - I wasn't there but Eric Gundersen's crash at Odsal in 1989. - Bruce Penhall was my first hero possibly eclipsed by Jan O Pedersen later, just because he was the best to watch. Of the current crop of riders NKI, Danny King & Charles Wright are my favourites. I hope Bartosz Zmarzlik wins the world title this year. Until their recent detriments Simon Stead and very begrudgingly Peter Karlsson. - When I was young, Kenny Carter. Couldn't stand Graham Jones or Neil Collins. Of current riders I don't like Adrian Miedzinski, Chris Holder, Rory Schlein & Nicki Pedersen. - Rugby Union (Sale Sharks) & Football (West Bromwich Albion) are the other two sports I watch. I play Badminton in the local county leagues in the area. - I'm on all except Snapchat. But I'm mostly anonymous & don't post much except on Instagram - sockdiva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked for NatWest from 1972 until 1992. Skegness Stadium as Racing Manager from 1994 until 2000. London Underground from 2001to 2016. - Club you support Over the years I have been a regular at Wimbledon, Hackney, Crayford, Romford, Arena Essex & Rye House. I would count myself as a Wimbledon supporter. - what got you into speedway Parents. My father had been a fan since around 1935 and in the 1950's knew Peter Arnold and wrote historical articles in the 5Star Annuals. Peter also introduced us to Stock Car racing - best speedway moment Seeing Ronnie Moore win the 1959 World Finals at Wembley. - worst speedway moment Seeing Ronnie Moore break his leg at Wimbledon and hearing that my mother's favourite, Peter Craven, had been killed. - Favourite speedway rider and why Ronnie Moore - most disliked speedway rider and why None. They all risk their lives for our entertainment. I may not want them to win a race but I don't dislike them. - what do you enjoy other than speedway Superstox, BRISCA F1 & F2 Stock Cars, Baseball, Ice Hockey, Country music, Volunteer Guard on Mid Hants Railway. - social media links (if you wish to connect with other members). We might find those who go for each other might have more things in common Who wants to go first lol See the answers above.
