Call it the Alan Wilkinson Stand then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of Ronnie Moore, Barry Briggs, Ivan Mauger, Peter Collins and Kelvin Tatum off hand. All MBEs I believe. Any others? No actually a speedway rider, but involved in speedway - Ronnie Russell got some prestigious award off the queen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedious waste of time, the only council meetings I ever missed. Main purpose is so Peter Soulsby (or local equivalent) can get photographed with Gary Lineker or David Attenborough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
