I don't dislike any rider. I've tried speedway and these guys have my utmost respect.

Poker, Greyhound racing and playing my electronic keyboard.

A bit of info.

Paul

55

Live in East Winch.

1st went with my Dad in 1972. My dad bought me a racing bike from Halfords. The manager dropped it off after work. My Dad was talking to him and speedway came up. He ended up dropping us  off there for our 1st time on his way home. Loved it. Walked with my Dad 8 miles round trip every week until 1976. My Dad stopped going then, but I used to go with a mate( Dad had a car then so dropped us off and picked us up). Early 80's started to stand on the 2nd bend, just before the bar ;).By then there was a crew of about 8 of us. Bit of a haze :drink:( hit Champs nightclub that was at the stadium back then) until I stopped going in 02. No crew left by then.

I've been going again since 2011.Usually on my own. Recently my son and Grandson comes now and again.Just pick my meetings now.

Fav riders.. Mike Lee, watched him since his early teens. Leigh Adams, Made it look easy. Loved watching Henka as well.

Didn't like David Norris, think it was just an Ippo thing... Not keen Chris Holder, Batch, Nik P.

Best moment was invading the track in 1977 when Lynn won the KO cup. Ran around the track with the team.

Like riding my motorbike, watching my Grandson play for his under 11 footy side(  Never missed a game in 3 years). Prem football, but only from the armchair.

Still got my old autograph book, with some oldies in there.

Profile pic is my son aged 8, having a skid. He made himself a track in the back garden..(17 now)

Not on any social media.

- Real name - Daniel Smith

- Age - 40

- Location - Wolverhampton / Sutton Bridge 

- What do you do for a living - Long term sick going on for 3 years now. Really really miss work. 

- Club you support - King's Lynn, don't attend at all now due to the current owner, refuse to line his pockets. 

- what got you into speedway - A mates parents used to take me when I was a kid. First real memory of the sport though was when Mark Loram signed as a reserve, riding the track differently to anyone else. Also watching Denis Löfquist constantly falling off. 

- best speedway moment - way to many to mention 

- worst speedway moment - Peter Karlsson's leg breaking crash at King's Lynn. Was an absolutely incredible and shocking noise when he hit the fence on the first bend at full tilt. Then the death at King's Lynn of David Nix. Saddest of all was the death of Ashley Jones, this one hit me hardest as this happened on my birthday. 

- Favourite speedway rider and why - Nicki Pedersen. Reason is he gave no fooks and raced as hard as possible. 

- most disliked speedway rider and why - Darcy Ward - for someone of such quality on a bike, his attitude didn't half stink and it's still no different. Great racer / horrible human being. 

- what do you enjoy other than speedway - watching many other sports. Manchester United fan, England fan in Football, Rugby Union and Cricket. Love watching the Ryder Cup Golf, Darts and F1 occasionally. Due to illness, am unable to get around as much as I'd like and do more physical stuff. 

- social media links - No ta, only like keeping up to date in things I'm interested in. Not really a social media chatting type

Hope someone can get your IP address.

They can just use VPN's and the like sadly.

Some of you just constantly feed it so it comes back for more and more.

Just simply put on ignore and after total silence it will eventually get bored and go hassle elsewhere...
