The White Knight

Me neither. A great signing for the 'Devils' as far as I am concerned. But, then again, I have always liked Charlie Gjedde. I wish him nothing but well and I will be watching from afar to follow his progress. It will take time and we must be patient - but he will come good barring injuries.

I see you haven't removed that bloody Poster yet.

This is supposed to be a Discussion Forum. Of course people are going to comment on the part of the Post they are interested and ignore the rest. I would imagine that is the case on most Post replies. This is very boring so, instead of setting up a sensible Thread and then just being pedantic - why don't you just leave it to those who wish to discuss the Issue you raised and leave it at that. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Big thing for me about this suggestion is Cost. I cannot see British Promoters paying for travel to get these Riders and Equipment over here and, to be honest, I wouldn't expect it of them. The Riders themselves will not pay for the Trip, as Humphrey says, without some form of Contract. Whilst in theory this could be a good idea. Practically it is unworkable. So for me - a none starter I'm afraid.

If that bloody Poster isn't a provocation to all Speedway Fans everywhere - I don't know what is? Take the sodding thing off this 'SPEEDWAY' Forum. If this upsets you - I couldn't give a toss - you have upset me with that image. How insensitive can you get. I've only got two words for you mate - and one of them is - OFF!!!

Explain please PW?

Yes - but it was you who replied to my Post complaining that I only commented on a tiny part of your Post (thus alluding to size of Post) so I thought I would put it in perspective. See Quote below.

That is a question neither you or I can answer. Interesting Discussion point though................. Incidentally, remove the List of Riders and your Post isn't that big.

Some great Posts on here. The 'Briggo'/Fundin discussion is very interesting. 'Briggo' was always my favourite Rider along with Peter Craven who I never saw ride. Having read carefully the Norbold Posts on here I'm afraid I must concede that overall Fundin seems to have been a slightly better Rider than 'Briggo'. In conceding that 'Briggo' is still my all time favourite Rider. I have met him a few times and he too is a great bloke. Most Speedway Riders I have met seem to be genuine guys and Freddie Williams was a true Gentleman. Sadly missed.

Ooops!! I obviously got that wrong. Sorry. Jenga - I tend to take things at face value. Sorry.

You do have to consider the quality of the overall opposition too. Do that and I think you will find that the fields of Riders in Bengt Jansson/Ove Fundin era were far superior to today's Riders. Obviously the exception might be a very few GP Riders today.

Well I, for one, hope so.

Sad day for a Speedway Club with such a great History. A real shame.

A slight over reaction here. The above two Posts are also totally inappropriate on this Thread which is dedicated to a Person I much admired. I will only say that I admire the Post No: 30 by Paulsmith for his fulsome apology for what turned out to be a genuine mistake. I certainly don't feel the same about yours. All we wanted was clarification - Paulsmith was kind enough to provide us with that. Thank you Paul.

It certainly isn't appropriate on this Thread.

Probably. As gustix says though - clarification is needed.

?????

Well that is a start. Are they beginning to see sense - I wonder?

I'm sorry - I just don't understand your point. Perhaps you don't like it when people come back at you. :sad:

Barry Meeks spent a long while in the Guiness Book of Records as the fastest ever recorded Speedway Rider.

Stuart Robson too.

Somewhere else on this Forum it says he is Workington bound. I don't know how true that is though....

:rofl: :rofl:

I didn't realise that I was on the Muppets Forum. :D

I guess it must be.
