    After the meeting can we discuss the important issue of which jacket is best for watching speedway in. I realise that jackets are at a higher level than socks and shoes so the OP maybe confused but we won't let that worry us!

    Never mind it looking good for 'BT'. Utterly irrelevant. It's the sport of speedway it should be 'made to look good for'. Week after week, year after year of empty stadiums for TV meetings sends one message to the casual viewer... Speedway is not even worth considering. Far too late for the penny to ever drop now.

    Feel your pain. I have a couple of green t-shirts. Fine across the cooler months but last summer tried to combine with shorts and a no go. Looks terrible with denim and my grey cotton shorts were too smart for them.....who'd be a man. Very handy thread this though i must agree

    Don't forget to max out your credit cards too, like Baldy you could own several pairs of trainers.

    I wear the Old Reebok classics. Although they are a bit hot in the summer, I sometimes chuck them on if popping out on my motorbike. The trouble with canvas ones is that changing gear ruins them. I was looking at a pair of Munt Jacks for days out with the family though. They look nice, but are dear.

    Ive been looking for the perfect thread for a while to raise this and i think this is finally the one......new trainers should i go classic white with summer approaching or mix it up and go for a red/burgundy?

    It might be worth noting, if that meeting was held on the Continent, it would have been on, with that amount of rain. Unfortunately UK has got to the stage where 'LOOK THERE'S A SPOt IN THE SKY' cancel the meeting.

    BECAUSE PEOPLE WEREN'T WORRIED ABOUT IT! In the old days, there was no desire for "credibility". Or political correctness, equality, diversity, or whatever. I'm not just talking about speedway either... You either enjoyed something or you didnt. If you did, great. If you didn't, you went and did something else. If the latter, you didn't feel compelled to justify your opinions, or to ridicule those who didn't share your views. Look at the BSF... There are multitudes queuing up to tell you how bad, stupid, and worthless sports like football and F1 are. There are endless comparisons and false accusations in an effort to justify that opinion. Why? Speedway is - and always was - my favorite sport. I have have a lengthy and successful career in darts, but as much as I love darts, speedway was still Number One. I am a footy fan. I am an F1 fan. So? Does that make me stupid or inferior? As far as speedway, why is it that difficult to watch, and enjoy? Sure, it doesn't matter what you enjoy, there will always be things that you think are bad or stupid. Oh well... I went to speedway because : 1) I loved watching the racing. 2) I had a passion for my Wimbledon team. Is that not enough? Some nights, the fare was poor. And? Sh!t happens... Was rider control "credible"? Of course not. Did it drive the fans away? And you can't keep claiming that PC put "thousands" on the gate at Hyde Rd. Great rider, and great to watch. BUT, fans flocked to Hyde Rd in their thousands before PC. Fans flocked to speedway in their thousands before television coverage. Fans flocked to speedway in their thousands when we had guest riders in the 60's and 70's. There are many reasons why speedway - certainly British speedway - isn't as popular as it once was, but not every reason is speedway-related. More importantly, it has little or nothing to do with credibility... Steve
