will remind you that a team returned after a long absence, an important deal was signed
with a television company and that a young Dane made his Elite League debut.

Non-league track Sittingbourne (Iwade) has staged a few meetings this season and that allowed both
Richard Hollingsworth and Graham Kelly to capture some snaps of the circuit. Click
here to view them.
As an added bonus we've also got a couple of pictures of the Sittingbourne Training Track
for you to peruse.
Ashley Murtough is looking for information on a former rider called Sean Murtough. Doesn't
ring any bells with us - get in touch if you remember Sean.
Peterborough Panthers are launching a new official website. The address is www.peterboroughspeedway.net.
Paul Lambie used to support the Birmingham Brummies. He tells us that John Hart used to
wear his wife's nightie under his leathers for luck. Can anyone remember a more bizarre
superstition?

Richard Hollingsworth has been on his travels again. This time he brings us pictures of Brough Park
in Newcastle.
Dave left the following comments on The County Ground.
"Exeter's County Ground Stadium and track is unique, one of the very few old 1920's tracks still left. I feel that efforts should be made to keep the County Ground as a sports facility with improvements to the spectator facilities.
I'm sure the stadium could be viable if Speedway is kept on a Monday night, reintroducing greyhounds twice a week, Rugby, maybe Football and even a handful of stock car meetings. Those who think that stock cars and Speedway don't combine well on the same surface should look at King's Lynn which is one of the best surfaces in the Country even with many stock car events taking place, testament to good equipment and track staff. Step forward a big Stadia group or entrepreneur!

There's a Newport theme to the site this week. First up is some more of the ever-popular
track photographs. Once again we have Richard Hollingsworth to thank for these fine snaps of
Hayley Stadium in Newport. This purpose built venue has been the home of the Wasps since
Tim Stone reopened the club in 1997.
Martin Wilkins has been a Newport fan for many years and his Dream Team
reflects this. We always love to receive your Dream or Nightmare teams, these can be submitted
through the link to the right.

Thanks to everyone who pointed out that Ljubljana is in Slovenia rather than Sweden as
we had stated - it's been fixed. Keep an eye out for the pictures of English circuit
Newport that will be added to the site in the near future.
