Showered in Shale By Jeff Scott The legendary sports journalist, Frank Keating, wrote in The Guardian: “At the end of the month, William Hill announces the shortlist for its sports book of 2006. If the author Jeff Scott's impulsively oddball doorstop is not already in pole position, then it jolly well should be. Showered in Shale (Methanol Press, £20) is a strikingly hectic labour of love, an urban odyssey, a bucking, breathless round-Britain whizz in pursuit of his obsession. To log this dense but irresistible social documentary, last season Scott travelled more than 10,000 miles to watch 1,100 races at speedway's 30-odd tracks. From Glasgow to the Isle of Wight, Newport to Sittingbourne, Workington to Poole; he talked, obviously, to riders and fans, but also to promoters, programme-sellers and the bloke running the hot-dog stand - the last three often one and the same. I have never been to a meeting, but I've got the picture all right after this captivatingly cranky revelation into one of the most cloistered, concealed and dimly lit recesses of Britain's sporting culture.” Frank Keating Tuesday October 3, 2006 The Guardian
