The White Knight

I still have a Tape of his somewhere. The 1972 World Final - I've no idea where it is now though. It'll probably turn up when I snuff it. :sad:

You are entitled to a view though. Therefore - you are entitled to a Vote CHR.

Everybody is blessed or cursed with different personalities though. Some may need mentoring - others not.

Sadly - No. That is why I qualified my statement saying 'that I had ever visited'. I have great memories from a number of Tracks - but for me Hyde Road was the best ever.

The Title of the Thread says - Best Ever Track? It has to be Belle Vue, Hyde Road for me. I know that you mention it in your original Post - but - it simply was the best Track I ever visited. :approve: Whilst I appreciate that others will think differently - for me - it is a 'no brainer'.

Agreed - but - why oh why do they have to go off the rails? I find it all very sad.

That s not a very 'reasonable' Post The Voice of Reason. :nono:

Exactly!!!

I reckon there are very few people who are as involved in Speedway voluntarily as Tsunami. He and I have our differences on occasion but I can tell you - no-one works harder than him for the good of Speedway and especially for the good of Newcastle 'Diamonds'.

So, in effect, nobody knows. :unsure: :blink:

'Pip' Lamb - there's two for the price of one.

I must say, I have read it too, and I totally agree with you. It seems all very childish to me. I don't do Social Media either.

Very good point that TVOR. Neither do I very often.

How about Claude RYE?

I remember when I bought my first Record. The Rock Island Line - Decca Records - Lonnie Donegan - 6/4d if I remember correctly. Lonnie produced most of his Records through Pye Nixa. Happy days - I have all of Lonnie's songs on CD now - it isn't the same though.

It's late - and I can't think. Who is MH? Sorry - I think I know who you are talking about. The light bulb has just come on inside my head.

To answer Yes or No is impossible - yes I would like to see the best Riders in the World including Mr. Ward - but - that has to be qualified. I do not want to see somebody there who is so irresponsible as to fail an Alcohol Test is Banned and then welcomed back in to the Speedway GP Community as if nothing had happened. He could have killed or injured somebody. Thankfully he was caught before he rode. I am not against Mr. Ward - I just think that he should serve his sentence without any favours being given. Unless you want to reward him for his irresponsible behaviour of course.

I wouldn't dream of slating you. :nono: Bridger is a great Rider with a great talent, no doubt. But sadly he, along with one or two others seems to have a self destruct button which he presses rather too often. :sad:

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,
