Because unfortunatly some people are just childish and bear grudges and some comment out of childish track/team/rider rivallry. As a Middlesbrough/Teesside fan I hated Joe Owen when he wore the diamonds race jacket but that didnt change the shock of what happened to him and team apart I have never felt the need to doubt his character or dislike him as a person then or now because he was a great rider and good for the league etc.To my knowledge Bruce was always good with the fans etc and great for British speedway thats all that counts and I do understand why people blame him for everything because he tells it the way he sees it as does Simmo but nobody criticises him. This is NOT directed at you obviously.

Type of character? no doubt this comment is born out of the fact your a former Halifax/Carter fan? and just because you didnt like his comments about Kenny? I met Kenny when he was at Newcastle and i jokingly asked him who he was and he didnt respond like a gentleman nor did he years later at the Golden hammer when again I jokingly said(as a Middlesbrough fan)that Martin Dixon was far more entertaining to watch whenDicko was doubling up again he was not exactly a responsive gentleman. Yes Kenny was a great rider and yes he had a difficult life with his family problems ie his mothers illness but Penhall is entitled to believe what Kenny did was out of order in ending his life etc so sorry not sure where you get this character thing especially as Bruce was orphaned himself but behaved impeccably with the public.

Never got to Leicester or Bristol did the others loved Hyde road and Halifax. Not only did Quibel park have a cycle track on the outside the track actually doubled as an athletics track. A bit biased but loved Cleveland park found Crayford weird especially that dip on the 2nd bend.

New additions pic 4 the leading rider is not a Rye House rider it is a Bradford Northern rider who i don't know but at a guess possibly Tony Featherstone enjoyed the pic of Dick and Les though legends.

Yep but shhhh i was not supposed to drink NLRC they were great nights.
