Will British Speedway Survive ?
Midland Red replied to old bob at herne bay's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
In the good old days, riders would just have got on with their day jobs, and survived If and when this is all over, perhaps we all, riders in particular, can get back to basics -

World Finals World Finals - Out of 10
Midland Red replied to RPNY's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Attending a World Final, not knowing at the start who was going to win, seeing it all unfold, and the new World Champion being crowned. Those feelings, emotions, have all been lost, thanks to OOFC and its successors. Yes, there are good GPs, some great meetings, but they’re not much different from any other good or great individual meetings. World Final night can never be replicated - they were SPECIAL. -
