Tony B liar Gordon Broon Ed [balls up] Balls for the destruction of the British economy. Previous Labour Governments and Arthur Scargill for the demise of the coal industry

I've seen a few flare ups in the Locarno in the late 50s and they were gang related,Meadows and St Annes

Clifton and Ruddington lads,usually kicked off at Ruddington Wakes every year in the late 50s

Started going there when it reopened in about 1963/64 Ken Adams was captain with riders like Charlie Monk and Bluey Scott we then followed them to Leicester when they moved the whole team there. Stock cars should never be allowed on speedway tracks they ruined Long Eaton and Leicester

Hi Michael, Yes my husband went down the Locarno and also the Bohemian after for a coffee.

Hi Michael My hubbie was a big friend of Brian and Mick Cupitt and Joey Martin also the 2 Pownall sons

Wasn't the one on Meadow Lane Tricketts

Was'nt it also called the Greyfriars before the Astoria?

I lived in Clifton from 1954 and you could only use coke not coal

So this is iconic ? and he's about the fourth choice

Hi Michael I also support Notts County,Notts Rugby,Notinghamshire Cricket,Nottingham Panthers even Mansfailed Town and any team that happens to be playing Forest.Regarding Billy Davies,he was given enough money to get them promoted but him and the team weren't good enough.

Dream on Michael dream on,you were closer to relegation than promotion
