The White Knight

Does Newcastle get a mention on this Thread?

Pardon!!! I didn't hear that. :D

Jim Wells was another who rode with long hair...................................

Nice one Whiteliner. Well worked out. :)

Tonight's SWC was a terrific Meeting. It is probably among the best televised Meetings that I have seen. It had Passing, Incident, Controversy, superb Racing and a VERY close and exciting Finish. I felt that Sweden were worthy Winners - but tonight I reckon that could have been said whichever Team had won, as they all contributed to a very fine Contest. Only down side for me, as ever, was the bloody 'Joker'. I did thoroughly enjoy it though.

Adam Skornicki!!!

My point, as I suspect you well know, is that Vojens is a very dodgy place for the Weather. Not idiocy - just observance.

Mmmmmmm - never thought of that.

I don't want to be controversial but why was the SWC Final scheduled for Vojens - it always rains there? It is famous for it.

Yes - here's hoping the Weather Forecast is correct.

To quote the famous Jimmy Greaves. "It's a funny old game".

HaHa CHR. Don't give up the day job. :rofl:

Sad to hear this News.

Which is what I have been saying for ages.

Because that is the right thing to do when someone has attempted to help you out with some information right or wrong., which RD did in good faith. It is called manners - or it was in my day. Thank you for your explanation too by the way.

I don't want to cause any trouble - but - does any of this really matter?

Anton has had a long lay off. It makes sense to bring him back to Match fitness cautiously. A terrific Result at Ippo - CONGRATULATIONS to all involved.

Thanks for the time check Arson. :rofl: :rofl:

Thank you RD.

Very harsh I think CHR and unworthy of you. I agree the Speedway wasn't the best but it was part of a Drama. If one person watching that decided to investigate what Speedway was - it will have been excellent publicity - and crucially for FREE. No doubt Lakeside benefited financially too. A win, win situation don't you think?

I wish there would be a none appearance of the bloody 'Joker'. :mad: Also - how stupid is the no Reserve Rule. It'll get Speedway done away with. Three Rider Teams against Four Rider Teams - honestly. :rolleyes: Talk about credibiltiy - it was pathetic on Tuesday. Not just me - Marek Cieslak thought so too - and said so.

Well I'm prepared to give the Show a chance. It was the first Episode and they were introducing new Characters - I think it is a decent idea and will wait and see how it develops before criticising it. Were I a Critic - my verdict would be Promising but needs to improve. As for the Speedway - I was just delighted to see it in a Drama. Very good publicity as far as I am concerned. Well done BBC for that at least.

This is an interesting Thread. I have a query, as I am not very technical. Can anyone explain how you can find out if a Rider is on a 'big' Engine these days?

Surely you have to? The very act of running up is action by definition.
