I got to go to Newport to watch a days play in the Welsh Open tennis at Rodney Parade in the mid seventies when the group of school friends I was with managed to annoy Frew McMillan, who was playing singles that day, because we were making too much noise, but, although I always intended to, I never got around to going there to watch the speedway. Motor racing has always bored me rigid, but I don’t mind speedway - I’d quite often watch it when they had it on Sky a few years back.
