I am and proud to be !!! but didn't go today ...It all started when I used to go to Speedway when Tony Childs etc where bombing around the Boulevard in the 70s. Might be in for some sh.t now !!!
I can't stand rugby. I've been to about ten FC games and they were all boring as ****, apart from two which derbies.
Tony Childs childhood hero. Ivan (golden bike) Mauger and Barry Briggs. loved it. I worked with Barrys mechanic for several years.
Still got my signed copy of Trackin with Briggo !! Reg Wilson Dave Mills I had a great time and many late nights traveling back and going straight to work after a journey back from places like Exeter. Shame about Kelly Moran though who died last year. had a few good nights out with him and Denis Sigalos.
I joined the army at 15, in 72. I got an invite for a trial at Crewe Kings speedway school in 73 but the army said no! I didn't even have my own bike or leathers, God knows what would have happened if I had turned up. When I went on my motor bike course I told the instructors that I had never ridden, but they got suspicious of my Bell crash hat and Gloves.
Lowlights then either way I'm sure they'll be on SSN at some point most sporting events of the day are on there
It looked better than it has done for a while now, bit of grass back on it, was starting to cut up at the end but it wasn't too bad. I was at YPI yesterday where they have Hull RUFC and FC 20s play on it and the pitch there was perfect, makes you wonder what's different than the KC...
