The White Knight

I don't think there are any rubbish Teams in the 'Play Offs'. If there are - then it doesn't say much about those Teams finishing below the Top Six.

I believe I am a reasonable judge of Character. Greg Hancock always impresses me with his attitude to the Sport and to the Supporters.

No - I don't. I judge him by his actions not by his antics.

........................ and who is PROFESSIONAL, can treat Winning and Losing with equanimity, who can SMILE in adversity and who KNOWS the true meaning of SPORTSMANSHIP. Most of these qualities are sadly lacking in certain Riders. (No names, no pack drill). Greg Hancock is a true Gentleman.

Firstly - Congratulations to Tai Woofinden. What a tremendous display of courage and fortitude he showed tonight. Those very hard earned seven Points may well prove invaluable in his quest for another World Championship. Secondly - I thought the Referee was right to exclude Nicki Pedersen. Just my opinion. Finally - Well done Andreas Jonsson on winning the GP.

Agreed. Two GPs. in this Country would be better than one, and more profitable - and we would probably have the only GP that is a total sell out. (I'm guessing about that)

I see your reasoning Dave. Fair enough - I was wrong. Just trying to think of ways to make things fairer.

Why not give the Start Marshal real power. Anyone not coming to the Tapes when indicated to do so by the Start Marshal has to go back 15 metres. The Start Marshal having the right to exclude or penalise Riders who do not comply with his instructions. If the Start Marshal has no power - then why is he there in the first place?

Yes - it will be great sitting on the Toilet watching Belle Vue in the new Speedway. That should make it pretty unique. :shock: Sadly I am unable to see the Track from the Bog at Newcastle.

It seems a fairly common occurrence after some of the exclusions I have seen. :o

That is exactly what I meant Crump99. Cheers. You could try consulting Sherlock Holmes. I'll get me coat - again.

That would be great. I do hope that we could meet up sometime - especially at Belle Vue.

Good Post. I hope that you will give the new Track a visit when it is completed Oldace.

Err - no we don't. People are adding two and two together and making FIVE - that is all.

Hyde Road - the very best place I have ever watched Speedway. :approve: If they model the new Track on the old Hyde Road Track, as they said they would - they won't go far wrong.

You are right.

.................. and they never will be unless given the chance. :sad:

I don't - you said it - NOT ME!!! :blink:

Here we go. :mad: What have you got against the North? Is it that as we are North of Watford Gap we don't matter. This WILL be the only Stadium in the Country that can be called a National Stadium as it will be the BEST purpose built Speedway Stadium in the Country. Until the South build one bigger/better - I would keep quiet about the North. Honestly. :rolleyes:

What can I say - for once I am stumped. I AM ABSOLUTELY BLOODY DELIGHTED!!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO DAVE GORDON AND CHRIS MORTON!!!! Sorry for all the caps - but I am over the moon. :party: :party: :party:

I saw Jimmy Squibb riding at Sunderland for Eastbourne (I think - memory not that great) in the Seventies. I may be getting my years mixed up, but I believe Reg Trott was in the same Team. I could be wrong.

He's just being silly (as usual).

What a bloody stupid statement that is. The Lad could ride, and because he is already injured, could fall and cause further damage to himself and also, possibly endanger others. .................................. OR don't you care? :mad: :mad:

........................... and if they are TOP at the end of the Season may not get to be League Champions either. :mad:

Very best wishes to Chris. I enjoyed his efforts at Brough this year. Tried hard in every Race.
