Fishing.

Bet you weren't there in the dark days of the 70's were you, young whipper snapper. When we were REALLY crap. Oh, you probably weren't born...

Briggs, Kilby, Holloway, Crump (Phil) - the good old days. :old:  

They're doing really well this year, so good luck to them. Are they still closing the Abbey Stadium down at the end of the year?

What are the rules of Speedway?  I don't really get it but feel I should jump on the bandwagon as we are doing good.

How much is it to go?  Also, what are air horns?

I was and we were ! Jerzy Treskowski, Bobby McNeil, Rolf Gramstad, David Ashby, Rob Henry, Milan Spinka, Steen Mastrup & Geoff Bouchard were all rubbish (although Bouchard and Mastrup were superb triers!)

I think we've had this discussion before...

I'm trying to remember the nickname that David Ashby acquired for himself, due to his utter crapness, but it escapes me at the moment. My god he was shit.

We're unbeaten at home this season, and we're the only away side who's won at Coventry this season.

If we pick up a nice lead in the first leg, I think we'll win, as long as Adams is fit. Apparently Dick Mackey is helping to get him fit for the final.

It costs £15. What are air horns? Are you serious? They are the horns you here at footy matches sometimes although most places ban them due to the gases they use. Loads of people have them at speedway. They cost £6.

The rules simply are:

There are 15 races, each team will have 2 riders in each race. Each race consists of 4 laps.
1st = 3pts
2nd = 2pts
3rd = 1pt
4th = 0pts.

The team with the most points at the end wins. Or in this case its over 2 legs so the team with the highest aggregate score wins. There are other rules but for someone who has not been before thats about all you need to know. Its great fun and you will love it!
