  1. Not really the done thing to quote publicly from a private message.
  2. Definitely, and looking forward to seeing Berwick reduce that minus figure. Definitely, and looking forward to seeing Berwick reduce that minus figure.
  3. By ".....naeidea" yes I agree
  4. Nowt to do with "different view"
  5. I've been attending less frequently than I used to anyway and you've misquoted but not the done thing at all to quote from a Personal Message and a private discussion and which you now make public.
  6. Events chronicled yes, but the teams do not "play a match" Football teams "play" with a ball, so it is correct to say that games are "played". By contrast speedway riders do not "play" with a ball or anything else, nor is it a "game", they race against each other and "matches" or speedway "meetings" take place. I guess that's why the BSPA show league tables with the first column "M" for number of Matches. Still, if you're happy with it then fine.
  7. Looking forward to seeing Berwick's minus value probably reduce (or at least not increase) given the team changes, Bridger on change of machinery and going as he is capable of, along with Morris, looks like forming a strong top two, plus the other tweaks and Carr potentially dropping back to reserve
  8. No, that's your take on it and seems any pettiness was firmly rooted in West Lothian. Ancient history you say - well you raised it!!!
  9. Ooh err missus, get you with your grammar police. 'Inflamatory' you say, only cos the moanarchs fans were determined to 'be' inflamed at nothing.
  10. Or about 10 minutes labour from a car garage workshop
  11. Fer heavens sake man do you never let up, always a comeback full of garbage. I only mentioned the admission price, and in any case it was qualified, the magic words after "cheap as chips" being "AS.... FAR.... AS..... I'M..... CONCERNED". So stop trying to always tell me and dictate to me that I don't have a view when I do, especially when its qualified anyway that you tend to conveniently overlook, wise up fer heavens sakes man. Maybe you only pay 50 pence for a round of drinks, last couple of rounds I bought I got some change from thirty or forty quid each time so anywhere in the teens for a bleedin speedway match is nuthin, a bit like your comebacks.
  12. Absolute nonsense, speedway admission prices have been in the teens (in pounds sterling) for what seems like forever, its the 21st century. I used to be able to buy a round for a tenner, the other week I got some change back from forty quid. Glasgow's standard admission price is £17.50, cheap as chips as far as I'm concerned, you need to get out more.
  13. Probably a bit of truth in both views, agree about the ability of the rider to use it correctly but also each individual rider setting up the bike to suit their own riding style not to mention their own physique, posture etc.
  14. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it Seems to be a family trait, Richard's dad was just gate and go as well and of course he was such a terrible rider for the Tigers. So, yeah, you're right.
  15. What on earth are you talking about!!! Seems to be you that's having a coronary by the looks of it. To merely answer your question seeing as I'm a very obliging sort and as a courtesy, you ask why is it a red herring. If you follow from where Owlerton was picked up on it was somebody else that went off at a tangent and got their undergarments in a twist and got the wrong end of the stick. I only meant that I'd enjoyed a few matches there that was all, I didn't mention timeframe, just as I didn't mention timeframe when I mentioned enjoying matches at Hyde Road and Cleveland Park, but some nutter assumed it was like last week and went off on one about Owlerton as it is these days - fairy snuff. There you go all as a courtesy. If you find that too stressful then just put yer feet up have a cuppa and chillax.
  16. I've absolutely no idea what you're talking about!! Seems you're clutching at straws. I never mentioned anything about Paulco (not a jot) nor anything about timeframe regarding Owlerton - nothing at all. Maybe when you (Halifaxtiger) add two plus two.... you get... a million and eighty seven?? Probably infinitely more accurate than your Hercule Piorot impersonations. Don't give up the day job. Take care mate. My lips never even moved there! Cheers!! That's twice my lips never moved.
  17. That's a complete red herring and not what I actually said. I never mentioned the timing of my visits to Owlerton, far less 'the last couple of seasons'. Just the same as when I mentioned visiting Hyde Road I didn't mention the last couple of season either.
  18. That is just a plain stupid and personally offensive comment. Nothing to do with "rating" at all, your accusation in that regard is false, and no I did not "rate" anything I merely mentioned tracks I've enjoyed speedway matches at. According to you I've no right to enjoy the speedway meetings I've been to, and I've no right to remember Hyde Road as a speedway stadium and racetrack. Call yourself a speedway supporter, obviously not.
  19. Exactly!! Again, sanity at last, just like Gordon Bennett said. That's all I've been saying. How I've found it isn't up for question or debate - its simply how I've found it. No I bloody well have not!! You are so wrong to falsely accuse me of accusing Paulco of anything - that is simply 100% false. To say "I too" call it as it is, actually AGREES that the person calls it as it is - I merely said that "I too call it as it is" ( or in this case "how I've found it"). Seems you should have read it and thought about it first and "looked before you leapt" on that one. The next time you haven't enjoyed something - doesn't matter what it is, could be food, a holiday destination, anything. And you mention that you haven't enjoyed it - how bizarre you will find it when others tell you that you MUST have enjoyed it (you didn't) and that you SHOULD have enjoyed it (you didn't) and that you WILL like this and you WILL like that, when you know that when you tried it you didn't like it. When that happens you will be able to come back on this forum and relate to how its been for me on this thread!!! And lastly the assumption of timing of visits to Owlerton, you assuming my visits have been in the last two seasons when in fact I never said anything about their timing at all. Just as my visits to Hyde Road were not in the last two seasons either. But then what does it matter, seems you aint allowed to say simply what you've enjoyed and apparently I had no right to enjoy any of the speedway matches I've been to, and for that matter I'd no right to mention when I haven't enjoyed some of them either. There is also something rather arrogant about some of the comments including the ones telling me that their track is the best (eh? what a daft thing to say!!) which to me displays a rather bigheaded and arrogant attitude which is simply not called for.
  20. Once again GB, what a breath of fresh air your post was. If only the likes of Halifaxtiger would read what you just said!! At no time have I said what Halifaxtiger wrongly assumed I said - jeez I only said how I've found a track and I am FULLY entitled to say how I've found it. The rest of the garbage that's been wrongly assumed has nothing to do with me at all and not what I've said at all. Instead its been rammed down my throat that a certain track IS the best and that it IS better than everwhere and you WILL enjoy it, which is garbage. I am FULLY entitled to simply mention that it hasn't been like that when I have visited. Simple. Well best of luck, hope you enjoy it. But you should also acknowledge that when I've visited that it hasn't been like that.
