The White Knight

You could be right - AND they would be called League Champions. :rofl: :rofl:

It is a waste of time discussing things with you orion. Birmingham is only the start - believe you me. :sad: Anyway - time will tell. We shall see.............................................

I don't have to come up with anything - it is all there for you to see if you just open your eyes. "There are none so blind as those who will not see" John Heywood - 1546

And why would they? The Elite League is far too expensive to compete in. At least Promoters in the Premier League recognise their limits. As I have said earlier some Premier League Teams are struggling now - why the hell would they want to move up to a League that could bankrupt them. I know that some Elite League Supporters don't/won't accept this fact, nevertheless, it is true. Sadly, I believe that if something is not done soon, you may well be right. :sad: And as I have said many times orion - you are right - Speedway has problems at all levels. The trouble is that by far the BIGGEST problems are in the Elite League. This is something you seem to find difficult to accept.

I've been banging on about this for ages. I 100% agree with you. Good Post tiberon.

I'm afraid you are right - BUT - every little helps.

It does seem that way doesn't it.

I don't believe that for a minute.

Quite agree Gemini - I find that both childish and pathetic. :sad: Yet another pinprick to push the Supporters in to b*ggering off and walking away from Speedway altogether. :sad:

Roy Rogers.

Don't bet on it. :sad:

I was with you until you mentioned THAT!!! :mad:

I wonder why no-one has picked up on this then?

Not me mrm. :nono:

According to a Post elsewhere - he has the Management's permission to do so.

I thought it showed how ridiculous all this gardening has become when Woofy got a shovel and actually shoveled some dirt on to his grid at the Start on Television recently. He should have been stopped - but - it was funny.

Thank you for the Link The Scotsman.

We'll see!!

Beaten - hardly mauled. We got a Point.

Thank you for that Steve. :) I liked Andrew too - but - for pure entertainment I, personally, prefer Roy. Sorry. We must agree to differ HT. At least Roy injects some enthusiasm in to the proceedings. In short - I enjoy his contributions very much.

Far too many cynics on here. orion - I agree I don't think anyone has actually said they HOPE the new Stadium goes belly up - BUT - reading some of the Posts on here that is definitely the very strong impression I have formed. I am obviously not alone in this. There are also those who also seem to delight in bringing any bad News on here - another very strong impression - yet again. I will rejoice when the Stadium opens. At least part of my rejoicing will be because of the egg on the faces of some on here.

Some unexpected good publicity for Speedway this morning on BBC News. Boris Johnson was making a Speech and he started by mentioning his trip home from Poland. Actually though he is a Eurosceptic he was giving examples of things that had been beneficial to us by being Members of the EU. Easier travel to Member States was one of his points in favour. He then went on to list other things that he considered less than advantageous. He was flying back from Bydgoszcz Poland at the weekend and he said that he had flown back with a lot of Motorcycle people supporting the Sport of Speedway. He said that they had been over there for the Speedway World Cup and that we finished last. He must have been chatting to them. Whilst not elaborating further I got the impression he had enjoyed the experience. Boris also mentioned that he planned to stand for Parliament at the next Election. Great News for me. I've just noticed that another Thread is running on this - I did check but I missed it.. If one of the Mods could merge my Post in to the original Thread I would appreciate it. My apologies for any inconvenience caused. Thanking you in anticipation. Ian.

I might hold you to that Ray. :)

Aaaahhhh - BUT - will they win the League again - having won it once already by finishing TOP over the Season if, indeed, they do so. Laughable really.

Yes it most certainly is.
