The White Knight

Speedways credibility once more in danger. :sad: IF Ward gets to Cardiff.

Perhaps had these people behaved themselves in a proper manner folk wouldn't be so keen to criticise. All of the three you mention can hardly be held up as a credit to Speedway - can they? Just an observation.

Thank you cyclone - that's the chap.

I'm sure there was a 'Farmer' used to ride for Long Eaton? :unsure:

I 'Liked' the Post for the Woolworths comment - as is reflected in my reply. Not that I should have to explain of course.

My personal hope is for as few injuries as possible. The injury situation has really taken a big toll on Teams over the last few Seasons. Clever that. :approve:

I reckon Ward has got off extremely lightly in his length of Ban. As for financially - I don't know but I think he will have taken quite a big hit. I hope he learns from this dreadful experience and behaves himself from now on - at least his future is back in his own hands again. Can he reform - I certainly hope so. We can only wait and see,

Well probably never know the full truth of this issue. At best what we have on here is speculation. Bridger isn't riding this year. Time to move on I think.

If you want the opposition 'putting off' - look no further than Jack Millen. :D

Woolies has closed in Sunderland. :sad: I'd prefer Records from the Fifties myself.

I wonder how they control who comes and - just as importantly - who goes.

Me too.

The FIM will soon sort that out - when they open up a Can of Whupass!!! :shock:

Another good idea. Let's hope that something is introduced to tighten up on Starting Procedures.

In reply to your question Tony - it would STILL be Peter Craven for me. He fulfills every one of your three criteria with interest.

I was very pleased when I heard that Bridger was returning - I thought it was good for British Speedway. Having read some of the Posts on here - I am now not so sure....................

I believe that once Riders are lined up they should be under total control of both the Starting Marshal and the Referee. There should be a line, a couple of bike lengths from the Tapes, then once the Bikes are in that area the Riders must do as the Starting Marshal instructs immediately or they are given a ten yard penalty. It would only have to happen once or twice and the Riders would soon learn. Just a thought.

That's shocking. :rofl:

I could be very contrite - if only someone would tell me something about norbold's Hole. On second thought - contrition isn't in my Dictionary. :nono:

So are some of you saying that the new people who have come on the Forum have ruined it? Have we invaded your nice little clique? If so I apologise for my presence here. I thought this Forum was for all views to be aired - not just the 'comfortable' ones. There!!! That's thrown another log on the fire. :nono: I will stick around though.

Yes. Especially as you get a free pair of wellies to go with them.

It must be me. I wasn't around then.

How can it take that long - it's a DISGRACE!!! :mad:

Very good. :rofl:

WHEN are you going to spill the beans?
