The Footage Detectives
The White Knight replied to keepturningleft's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
TPTV is a must watch station on the TV. I record 'the Footage Detectives' every week. There are some great old Programmes to watch. I do most of my recording on this Channel, LOVE IT. -
Chris116 When I said "I wanted to 'Like' the Post" I wanted to but the Forum wont let me for some reason. When I clicked on 'Liking' Technic's Post above this one, I get a Heart with a black cross to the right of it. That is why I posed as I did.

Good question. I wanted to 'Like' this Post - I can't.

A sinner in my opinion as was Bill Bridgett too. I can never forgive them for what they did to Sunderland 'Saints' in 1964. They closed us so that they could strengthen their other two Tracks, namely Newcastle and Wolverhampton by 'divvying up' our riders between them, their reasons given for closing just did not add up. The weather was not great, but, we suffered no 'rain offs'. The crowds were pretty good - I know this for I was there at every match. It is notable that Wolverhampton were bottom of the League at the time of our closure, Newcastle got Ken Sharples and went on to win the League, Wolverhampton finished third in the League that year with a good number of Sunderland riders in their team. Jim Airey, Gordon Guasco and Colin McKee. I am still very bitter and disgusted about the way Sunderland Speedway was treated by the Promoters in 1964.

British Riders' Championships
The White Knight replied to brianbuck's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I do sincerely hope that something can be done about this. At the moment, those lads were deserving of being called 'World Champions' but, for whatever reason, were not recognised as such. I think it would be great if this could happen. Fingers crossed for their families sake. -
Excellent,

SAVE PETERBOROUGH PANTHERS
The White Knight replied to gazz 50s's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I live in Sunderland and cannot make it. Very best wishes for your efforts though, I sincerely hope you can succeed in keeping Speedway in Peterborough. I have been to the Peterborough track on a number of occasions and thoroughly enjoyed, not just the racing, but the the atmosphere too. Good Luck. -

You echo my thoughts on Jim and Jack, Steve. I am desparately sorry to learn of Jim's passing. I remember watching him as a new rider at reserve when he joined us and eventually became our Number One. It was great watching his progress over the years. He came over to the UK around 2006 and we had a 'do' for him, we also met up with him at Redcar to watch a Speedway match.. He was a lovely fellow and a smashing rider... He will be sadly missed by all Sunderland 'Stars' Supporters. My sincere condolences go out to Jim's family and friends. May he Rest In Peace. +

Peterborough Speedway - petition
The White Knight replied to Mick Bratley's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Signed. Enjoyed a number of meetings over the years. I would be gutted if the EoES went the same way as Brandon and others.
