Over The Speedway Fence

Saturday 12th May  2001

We didn't expect there to be many there this afternoon because it was FA Cup final day and also the Prowlers were away to the Boston Barracudas at King's Lynn. Although there weren't many there,  there were enough to get in a good afternoons riding

Surprisingly James Birkinshaw (well done for Thursday) was there working on his bikes getting them ready for the meeting against Boston...he worked hard and never stopped until they were done.

Simon Stead made his usual appearance and brought his cousin Adam Allott along with him. Simon's hand is still strapped up and Adam was limping.

Tommy, Ollie Allen's brother was with us again as was a lad called Martin who my daughter and I have affectionately nicknamed Eminem because of his uncanny resemblance to the singer.  Both of which I interviewed this afternoon...so stay tuned for their interviews.

David Lidgett started his journey to the Falkland on Friday. He hasn't been in touch so far so I don't know where he is at this moment but to find out what his interview revealed please click here  

I'm leaving  photos of Luke Bailey's big step up from a 50cc bike to a 125cc on for a couple more weeks if you want to see how he got on please click here b
