iris123 Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Just an update from me. I am currently sitting on a balcony of a wine producer in Germany looking towards the French border drinking a sample of his wine and watching a beautiful sunset while the crickets are chirping happily away Heaven on earth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 What does the future hold for speedway? The way the sport is losing impact year on year sadly I can envisage no long-term racing under the present form in the UK. Eventually I think team racing will cease and meetings will be rather akin to another format as used in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even posted it - SOMEWHERE!! NOW I CANNOT FIND IT. Can anyone help me - PLEASE? On 5/13/2022 at 6:33 AM, JohnHyam said: I tend to agree with you stevehone! For other posters I would like to confirm that I am no longer involved as a member of FACEBOOK. THE MISSING DATA HAS BEEN FOUND! Read on:- I was busy over the years 1952-2012 being involved writing for Speedway Gazette, Speedway World, Speedway Mail, Speedway Graphic, Speedway News, Speedway Star, Monthly Speedway World, Monthly Speedway Star, Vintage Speedway Magazine, Classic Speedway, Australian Speedway World, Revs (Australia), Speedway Reporter, Monthly Speedway Reporter, The Voice, South London Advertiser and two speedway magazines - one in Sweden and one in Poland - whose titles escape me. I was also the corespondent between 1958 and 1963 for the old Sunday newspaper 'Sunday Citizen' while in my many years full-time at the bi-weekly 'South London Press' between 1973 and 2012 when there was speedway at Wimbledon I covered the club in the Tuesday and Friday editions. Add to this that I edited three editions of the annual "Speedway Digest' in the early 1960s. Edited May 14, 2022 by Guest updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of this, I guess John Hyam lost the passion to post on a sport he's loved for decades. Sad really. It's more than a year since your post moxey63. Sadly things IMO have NOT changed for the better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will crash down on anyone who disagrees with them. Especially, it seems, if you are elderly like John. It is his treatment that was instrumental in my cutting back drastically on my time on this Forum. I have other things to do now. So it is immaterial to me what anyone thinks. An excellent summary of BSF matters TWK! Well said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may stick to one SECTION (such as "Years Gone By"), but that doesn't mean you have to post and repost the same information in multiple threads..

racers and royals Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) Am i imagining things but didn’t a certain John Hyam Esq say he was quitting Facebook for good ?? I have just noticed that he joined the old time speedway group on May 18th !! Edited May 23, 2022 by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened in the matter you refer to was my membership went into a TEMPORARY LAPSE and need to be reinstated, Fair enough- so you haven’t quit Facebook for good then ?

I'm sure no one else would mind. I'll tell you, as one of the only people on here who has tolerated him - and constantly tried to help him - I have just about had it. I just can't understand someone of his age acting like a 10-year-old, breaking every rule in the book, and making everything about HIM. If I did delete this thread 1) it would make me like him, and 2), he would troll all the other threads trying to make them all about him...
