Just do us a favour and bugger off once and for all.

One problem is there have generally always been more clubs who had a negative season than ones who have had a positive one,so the negs rule!!They will always tend to have the upper hand by saying if you don't help us we drop down or out......and despite everything we always end up with good and bad teams

But isn't that how the sport has worked since as far back as I can remember?Punish the best teams so they have to lose riders with the idea you start the season roughly level.An idea which has never worked.No idea why the continue with an idea that has proved to be detrimental.Upsets fans who want to see a team develop,upsets riders as well.

Weissenbach in Austria are hoping to run a meeting on 06.01.2018 weather permitting

They also have squads,so hopefully clashes will be kept to a minimum with riders signed on the basis they miss few meetings

Well TWK is a bum

UK Martin in nonsense shocker!!!!

I have just popped over to speedway.org to see the news that the site has stopped.Or should i say the woman that runs it has gone into retirement after 20 years.One of the original sites and a great sources of info that was very easy to navigate I will miss it

Come on folks,what is a few hours wait when it is another 5 year plan to save the sport? And when you think about it,it is only another years wait until the next 5 year plan...... No laughing matter really,i know,but....

I remember going to the world final at Bradford in 1985.It was a Saturday in August

The details are a bit of a surprise,but the overall problem,i think has been known for years.I did mention some years back that it was the demans of BSI that were stopping a Russian GP.Of course Phil Rising denied any of this and said it was about the difficulty of getting riders and their equipment to Togliatti,despite the ice speedway riders from western Europe managing the same journey with similar equipment. But it is maybe not so exclusive to BSI.I know the promoters of the Berlin Ice Speedway GP made it known of their displeasure at FIM demands that seemed exclusive to their stadium and the same demands were not mentioned at other venues.That is,they said the reason they dropped out of hosting an FIM meeting for a season or two....

One subject i am terrible on is League Champions.1965 and 1973 are about my lot

Goodness gracious me.Have you had a knock on the head or something whilst line dancing???

No.You are always going on at Humphrey about editing posts to make them look different.And there you are caught red-handed.A big hypocrite You aren't very good at this debating thing.Should have stayed gone when you made the big announcement!!!!

Glad you agree how hypocritical you are.Good that we have it in b&w now.I thank you

That is important.You have to allow for the fact someones forefathers might have moved to a country.So it might be possible to find Danish people with -sson,but it doesn't mean that is a Danish spelling.Just like Hampel is a Germanic name or further back Glücklich. And Smolinski is a polish name

I didn't know the Fleetwood and even worse i guess, New Cross answers

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!!!

Outrageous that Sid calls someone a tool and someone who calls himself a Christian ignores that!!! Grow some man for gods sake

I'd agree Sometimes we can look back and ask 'if only he was more dedicated how good could he have been?'.We are possibly dealing with a couple who could fall into that category.Even Ronnie Moore could be as well.Olle is certainly a rider that it could be said never really reached his full potential,but then they were who they were.That is the life they chose and maybe Olle could have been much better than the records show,but i think you are right and he woud lose more often than not against Split

No doubt in my mind Ronnie at his peak,fully motivated would beat Split.Ronnie at his peak would beat most riders in anyones top 10 apart from the very very best

On my mobile i don't know how to save and post links,sorry

Just try searching for world finalist or oldest or chum Taylor or even bobbath.it is there from last year and even that was a new thread asking for updates....

I wouldn't know what is approved and not tbh.I don't really even notice advertising at the SGP's,just like i don't notice what engines each rider are using.Couldn't honestly tell you what number any rider has either..That sort of thing goes right by me,just like despite advertising and bits in the newspapers a lot of people don't evn know what speedway is or where it is held,even if they live near a track..... Off the top of my head i only know Monster and Dansk Metal do any sponsorship.Not even sure if Meridian Lifts are still going?But it does seem Red Bull,a major rival to Monster,are allowed to have advertising in the GPs etc.Which is an entirely different situation to the one both i and the article are talking about.No rival sponsorship is allowed

To an extent this is understandable and following footballs lead.Often have problems when a football player is seen wearing clothing or even boots from their clubs rivals and fines are handed out.Of course speedway is more complicated in that riders ride in a number of countries for a number of clubs with sponsors around Europe.Everybody wants an exclusive deal.When the German national team plays in a Bundesliga stadium all unauthorised advertising has to be blocked out and as adidas has a sponsorship deal,players aren't allowed to stroll up for official meetings in nike gear etc
