Gazc 7,093 Posted August 8, 2017 Errrrrm - it is certainly helping. It is probably more money the sport needs, the ludicrous rules that are in place is more damaging D/Up D/Down Tac Rides etc etc the list is endless. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The White Knight 9,039 Posted August 8, 2017 It is probably more money the sport needs, the ludicrous rules that are in place is more damaging D/Up D/Down Tac Rides etc etc the list is endless. Now I can 100% agree with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Just one thing to alter - I am going to have a go myself. If I get stuck I'll get back to you. EDIT: Hi Dandelion I did it!!!! Thank you so much for your help. I have joined Wikipedia. Ian. Haha, I'm glad you got it, but you don't have to sign in to edit it!! Wikipedia can be very useful for useless facts though .....Exactly... Without the money that our owners paid to purchase Glasgow Speedway ultimately in all likelihood saved the club from your Wikipedia list. Then we would have no club to support, so what would you rather have happened. No we don't want your money in case your money ruins the sport we want to scrape by and go to the wall in a season or two, really are you for real. And it isn't money that is ruining the sport far from it. You seem to have misunderstood what I meant, I mean I didn't really explain it well, but yes, what the owners have done for Glasgow is great and I think they have turned a relatively unsuccessful team into one of the better team in the country, well done to them... But what I do think, like football, if too much money gets involved... It can ruin the sport, the big teams will buy the best riders and the small teams will be left with what is left... I don't think that would make for a very interesting league table... I would have hated to see Glasgow go bust, as I would hate to see ANY team go bust, I didn't mean it that way... Now I can 100% agree with that. I can agree that the rules and too much money would ruin the sport... We need just the perfect amount Enough to survive but not too much where certain teams become too powerful... How boring must watching the Premier League be with seeing the same 5 or 6 teams at the top every year (with exception of Leicester) Edited August 8, 2017 by Dandelion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scarletrider 66 Posted August 9, 2017 With regard to wikipedia, ref Sunderland Speedway. In 1971- 1974, Sunderland Stars/ Gladiators raced in the British League Division 2, not the National League as stated. 71 - 73 they rode as the "Stars", then in 74 as the "Gladiators". Among the notable riders were Russ Dent, George Barclay and Jack Millen. "The Mackem" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
