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.

Ah, you got me there. I don't know.

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.

Before my time that. I didn't really start going until 77.

Sheffield's gain was our great loss

I started a bit earlier, so I was weaned on the likes of Col Cotterill, Ron Mountford, Jim Lightfoot, Pete Bailey, Roy Carter, Les Owen, Roger Hill etc.
I was living in Southam when Shirra first came over (78? ish). He used to blast around town, underaged, on a Yam XT500 trailie (mostly on one wheel).
Helped me out one day when I broke down on my Triumph Tiger 100 outside the farm he was lodging at.
Good lad.

Pete Bailey's mum lived a few doors up from us, it was terrible when he died in a road accident.

peteCCFC · Mar 25, 2025

Any update on the shoulder and the ankle?

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

Copying the bloke that stands by the Sky blue cafe on matchdays with his brush. New fashion don't you know!!

We walk past that guy and say hello every match day. He’s not there for evening games though. Lack of dedication.

It's almost as if those melons claiming he did his ankle were lying

That was just wild. Just because he had a flip flop on!!!

I find it hard to believe anyone fell for it.

The big question is - should he start or not on Friday?

sneferu · Mar 26, 2025

The big answer is no. Torp is good and deserves to keep his place. Rudoini is likely to be not 100%.

No. Torp deserves his place in the team. If it isn't working Rudoni could come on for the last 30 minutes. A fresh pair of legs that will need a few games to get back to full fitness again. Best all round.

Rudoni and Sheaf on bench

You'd better let the CCFC medical staff know.

Same team then. Left back only debate?

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

TomRad85 · Mar 26, 2025

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.

PUSB-We_are_going_up · Mar 26, 2025

When Rudi is back fully fit this has to be the midfield 3

DCM - Grimes
CM - Torp
CM - Rudoni

To be complete we may as well ask about Thomas-Asante too....

Sky Blue Goblin · Mar 26, 2025

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

shmmeee · Mar 26, 2025

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.

Saddlebrains · Mar 26, 2025

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.
