Spot on. Out of town, on the left, and down a long driveway.
Did he have a younger brother? One of Bees' riders lived in the next street to us in Rugby in late 70s/early 80s, whoever it was had a younger brother who I think was also a Bees rider!?
No. Not in England anyway. I'd have to think about who that might be. Quite a few Rugby kids turned out for the Bees.
I'm sure it was him. Wikipedia (I know
) says he was at the Bees from 75-82 so it could have been before he moved to Southam.I was there the night Les Owen went over the fence on turn 3, he was lucky to survive.
Rick France was a favourite of mine, we nearly always saw him after in the pits and he always had time to chat
Don't know if you can really call it lucky. It was a horrific crash (with John Harrhy). It finished him, ultimately leading him to walk in front of a train. Very very sad end for a great character and rider.
Mitch came to England in '75 (and thinking about it that was prossibly when I had my encounters with him) so can't see that. He was allegedly only 15 at the time.I'm sure it was him. Wikipedia (I know
Pete Bailey's mum lived a few doors up from us, it was terrible when he died in a road accident.

It was tragic. He was a great rider
Think he damaged both in a speedway accident, but I've only read the last page or two, so forgive me if I'm confused
We walk past that guy and say hello every match day. He’s not there for evening games though. Lack of dedication.
That was just wild. Just because he had a flip flop on!!!
The big answer is no. Torp is good and deserves to keep his place. Rudoini is likely to be not 100%.
My opinion is that we should not break up a winning team. JDS seems to have stepped up recently and Bidwell has unusually lost form but on his day is by far the better LB
Not changing a winning team is such a cliche and recently would have meant we'd have only changed the team once in 12 games! Such rubbish.
That said, Rudoni coming back from injury generally means bench and i certainly wouldn't be in a rush to get Bidwell back in the team right now.

When Rudi is back fully fit this has to be the midfield 3
DCM - Grimes
CM - Torp
CM - Rudoni
DCM - Grimes
CM - Torp
CM - Rudoni
To be complete we may as well ask about Thomas-Asante too....
Great to see both on the grass hopefully both are ready to go. Would be interested in a midfielder three of
Grimes
Sheaf - Rudoni/Torp
Grimes
Sheaf - Rudoni/Torp
So same again then in all likelihood?
Dovin
MvE Thomas Kitching Dasilva
Allen Grimes
Saka Torp EMC
Wright
S: Collins, Lats, Bidwell, Binks, Sheaf, Rudoni, Paterson, BTA, Simms
Would be the strongest bench since relegation from the PL probably.

Early noises are same again, Sheaf and Rudi bench, BTA will be decided on tomorrow, no Eccles
Unless we're talking literally, in which case the bench Yakubu used to sit on would be the strongest by far. Reinforced steel i'm told.
