I think Mike Bacon will be a huge miss for the clubs and fans that follow his coverage. What's happened with Mike Bacon Baldy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing's seem to be falling apart over at Peterborough One piece of the jigsaw thought it was bigger than it actually is and despite fitting now finds itself back in the box I wouldn't say that's falling apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they would be delighted for him to be anywhere other than Foxhall and get a few quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Vlad The Impaled" only ride for Ipswich in early 91, and then disappeared never to be seen again. Tesar of course battled on establish himself as a very popular rider. Kalina's best effort at Foxhall was Good Friday against the Deadbeets, scoring 7, including a splendid heat win against Michael Lee (who was making a short-lived return).

Remember going to the Foxhole in the afternoon full of optimism having dispatched the Twitches comfortably in the morning 54-36 with Henka Gustafsson scoring his first Lynn maximum, but the Stars were poor and Ipswich ran out deserved 48-41 (?) victors. Lynn put that right a year later though after a morning washout by wining 48-42 in enemy territory, Henka and Bo Brhel doing the main damage and securing the win with a heat fifteen 5-1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TB1 Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 It's amazing isn't it! We're all hoping for sayfintinov holder and puff the magic dragon. We'll probably end up with Lionel Blair and a celebrity dog act! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Bo was one of those riders that was always fantastic at Foxhall,, and was on an average that was always easy to fit in,,, mid 6,,,,,and would have made Foxhall a fortress,,, but for some reason never wore the witch.

Actually Vlad did ride for Hackney in 91 and was in the Hawks team that visited Arena Essex in the Gold Cup. The Hackney team that day was Tony Olsson Michael Warren Pavel Karnas Vladmir Kalina Paul Whittaker Roland Pollard Dave Hamnet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to know might be if somebody is able to physically produce a programme from their attic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
