I would think it very strange that he asks about this meeting or in a previous thread asks about the size of a certain track he has previously written about on a number of ocassions....

(1) Is it wrong to seek clarification as to what type of meeting was staged? 

(2) Re the track size (New Cross) I did not ask what the track size was. I referred to a Post elsewhere that originated on Facebook and gave a much different size to that which is accepted. My query was how the Poster of the wrong size arrived at his figure which was for more than 340 yards.

I have looked at the evidence,  and cant see any cause to call someone a   - "very strange individual"

 

 

The evidence over the years, not just on this thread. That is what I am talking about. Are you ?

I think if he is honest he would even admit he has been strange over the years. In fact I think he even admitted such just a couple of weeks back

I find it sad to read comments that deride religion. As usual the Christian faith. Other Beliefs are seemingly treated as they should be - WITH RESPECT.

I'll deride whichever religion I like, thank you gustix, as they are all complete nonsense and do more harm than good.

I respect your opinion norbold.

If you wondered how the poster arrived at his figure, surely the best option would have been to ask the poster himself?

Are you that dyslexic atheist who doesn't believe in a dog?

To be fair to Gustix (and someone has to be), I was at the last Wimbledon meeting and can hardly remember anything about it. The thing that has stuck in my mind was that one of his prizes for winning was a sewing machine, which seemed an unusual prize to say the least. Perhaps we could have a thread abour unusual speedway prizes. I'll leave Gustix to start it.

I remember Buzz Burrows' interview after the meeting.   He said that when he won he had no idea the prize was going to be a sewing machine.  He said he was stitched up.

Why didn't the Saints also sign Jesus?   I thought he'd have been nailed on for a team place.

He was out injured. He wanted to make his comeback at Easter.

I went to both of the 'last ever' meetings at Wimbledon. The abandoned 4TT in June 1991 and the Laurels in October 2005. I did take some photos on the second occasion, but unfortunately they've got lost in the mists of time.

I was at both meetings - the second of which has been well documented on this thread. Neither visit was actually by choice.

However I enjoyed the 2002 reopening meeting - again there not by choice - to an extent because I had a lengthy chat with "Speedway Star" publisher Phil Rising and that great photographer Mike Patrick.

You couldn't have enjoyed the 'racing' that night. From memory, it was like a sea of mud!

Yes it is but I took an example from the way you -as you have commented - consistently deviated the topic.

Not surprised Chadster. Most Conference League meetings provided little in the way of excitement apart from when Mark 'Buzz' Burrows was on track.

Are you talking about THIS particular thread? I have not deviated the topic once. All I have done is merely respond to comments made by others - all of which were based on one particular comment.
