They will be sacrificed on the altar of the Premier League. That League, sadly, is the only League that matters as far as they are concerned.

Totally agree, some tracks are just not suited to today's bikes and engines. Sheffield used to be a brilliant racetrack but now it looks too narrow and processional. Belle Vue has moved the bar, it just makes most of the others look sick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shows you up to be a total hypocrite as you constantly try to tell people what they should and shouldn't post.Voice of Reason is constantly getting told to tone down his language by you and even to b####r off to another country!!!
