Froglord 7 Posted December 27, 2016 What's been happening at Glasgow for a few seasons now is nothing but good news, same goes for rye house. Plymouth has been saved, as has lakeside and Berwick. Birmingham was rescued recently and IOW made a comeback and by all accounts is doing well. We have more clubs racing than anywhere else in Europe over 3 leagues, surely this is all good news? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) While we are all trying to be - and justifiably so- in an upbeat mood for the 2017 season, just a reminder in regard to two threads at the other extreme being debated. They are: Does British Speedway Have Future? and also When Did Uk Speedway Decline Start? Keep smiling! Edited December 28, 2016 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,685 Posted December 28, 2016 While we are all trying to be - and justifiably so- in an upbeat mood for the 2017 season, just a reminder in regard to two threads at the other extreme being debated. They are: Does British Speedway Have Future? and also When Did Uk Speedway Decline Start? Keep smiling! Seriously, if you haven't got anything positive to say say nothing at all. It's not a thread about "all thing are rosie" but more that there are good things about modern Speedway rather than all negative. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't seen it yet but to keep a balance I assume you will be posting a link to this topic in the two you mention. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,197 Posted December 28, 2016 The quality of racing and the view you get at The NSS is really special. Bucking the trend and doubling the crowd figures made for an excellent atmosphere. Watching the Brits from young Kyle and Dan though to Scotty, with Craig and the Worrall's in between was a joy as was the GB performance in the SWC on that memorable night. The Ace flying high at the top of the table plus having the chance to meet and chat with the riders after meetings. Forget the politics and back biting etc, speedway is still the most passionate, adrenaline fuelled sport you can get. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will attend to this. It will nicely equate a balance of opinions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not a thread about "all thing are rosie" but more that there are good things about modern Speedway rather than all negative. Obviously I did think my Post was worthwhile. That's why I placed it. We don't live in a world where we all wear rose-toted spectacles. As it is, Skid Sprocket who made the OP is happy enough with what has transpired - and so am I. The benefit - this thread is now in Links on two other threads and could now attract visitors on them to this thread. Nothing wrong with that happening IMO.

It is still beyond me why a poster like you would want to bring attention to two negative threads, when the thread you are posting on is specifically for posts that are good news. To get attention or a wrecking ball, you decide. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To get attention or a wrecking ball, you decide. You just don't give up with the anti-gustix vendetta do you? And other like you! Maybe I made the Links I did to possibly help Posters on this thread to negate what is said in them and give a happier tone about future possible happenings in the speedway world at large. I haven't seen it yet but to keep a balance I assume you will be posting a link to this topic in the two you mention. ...and I did just as suggested by OP Skid Sprocket - which he welcomed - and now gives those who Post on those threads an insight into a possibly 'happier speedway future.'

To get attention or a wrecking ball, you decide. Although you have to carefully read every word that Gustic posts, on this occasion "the good news is" that he did post a link to this one on both the other threads. You have to give credit where its due. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B.V 72 1,054 Posted December 28, 2016 19 riders who rode in last years Nat league have championship team places and another 3 have Prem team places.Progress for the young Brits the way it should be.Its what the British leagues need now more than ever. I think the leagues should well look after the young Brits and the Australians they are mostly loyal to our leagues and are i m o the key to British speedways future. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) Going off topic but I was wondering who this 'Jack Keen' is who has never made a contribution but usually likes the posts Gustix makes? Edited December 28, 2016 by Gemini Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) Going off topic but I was wondering who this 'Jack Keen' is who has never made a contribution but usually likes the posts Gustix makes? In all honesty I have no idea who this Jack Keen is. My supposition is that it's one of my 'many detractors' under an alias, but obviously I have no idea how to find out who it is. I see the JK Likes sometimes at the bottom my posts. However, I never check the symbol at the top of a page where LIKES are listed. I am not sure how many LIKES this section registers before reverting to a new start. At the moment there are 44 LIKES recorded. Previously the register went to more than 50 before reverting to a new start. If there is a member who can advise me how to find out who JK might be it would be appreciated - send a PM if you do not want the message to appear on site. I did a members' check on Jack Keen and noticed, as has Gemini, that this member has never posted a message. Edited December 28, 2016 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
