    Carmarthen Dragons Return!

    Didn't Gareth Rogers try for planning permission here years ago? I'm surprised anyone wants to run Carmarthen, as the crowds were very poor!

    Speedway In.................motor Cycle News!

    Superbikes are just as entertaining as speedway. You get races within a race too! As for processional, speedway is more often than not follow the leader. If speedway is better why does it struggle to fill a cowshed? Motor Cycle News binned Moto X, Trials etc years ago, nothing to do with it not being a proper bikesport.

    Good reply! Sign of a professional! Can take well intended constructive criticism. Darren Fletcher is a great commentator! I'd love to see him getting involved with sky coverage.

    I liked John! True gent as well! Not bad for a Stock Car guy either.

    I have worked for Mike Bennett and have to say the guy is a perfectionist! He did a lot of work away from the track that fans weren't aware of too! He's obviously not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but the guy did his best for the sport and even dipped into his own pockets a few times to ensure the sport got some media coverage. Whilst he was working at a pirate radio station he even gave the sport a regular slot! To those who gave him a hard time, Oxford fans, I have to say you're very much mistaken. Mike lapped up all that booing! Better to be booed than ignored! You played right into his hands lol. Amongst the others Dick Barrie is a gent away from the mike! Peter York is a pro, but did annoy me with his insistence at altering riders names. Rick Miller becoming Ricky Miller for instance. There's a lot of good guys around Craig Saul, Shaun Leigh etc Worst announcer I ever heard was Dave Willsher at Rye House and I wasn't that fond of Terry Ripo either. Rob McCaffrey wasn't bad, but hands out to many stats. At the end of the day it's all about personal preferences.

    Coventry Meeting Day

    It makes no odds how much CCFC owe the council with regards to a planning application. Applications can only be refused on planning grounds.

    Maybe, but you can't help fans wondering and caring about one of their heroes!
  8. Darren Mallett would no doubt be competing at a higher lever, but for the injuries he's sustained mainly in crashes that weren't any fault of his own. Even if this is the level that these riders remain, so what? To criticise them for it is the same as criticising Premier League riders who don't move up to Elite. They entertain us at their own cost.
  9. I was a Carter fan, however I say ref got it right!

    It was merely a post to let fans know that speedway has been included. Speedway is often ignored by the media. It just sounded like an excuse to snipe to me! This thread isn't even about debate just an announcement that a service is available via smartphone and tablet. You need to grow up!

    Did you really need to post that. Some like to chat about the action. If you don't just ignore the post! Simples!

    Glasgow Tigers , The Nomads Of Speedway

    You didn't try and finish a season at Workington, you tried to run a full season there in 1987. The promotion were intending to move to Roseberry Park, however that died a death.
