Happy days Jeeez, I can smell it now!!! Still have my aces jacket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to watch Aces in some final this season v Peterborough, won at Belle Vue but lost on aggregate, not really my scene but decent experience as never done speedway before. Loved the Greyhounds although seldom won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtimeblue Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Fuck all to lose. Take him up on it. It's win/win. Either he keeps us up or we go down with a legend who's been appointed to appease the (majority of) fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
