Excellent Post Dave. Apart from your final paragraph. I totally agree with you about Nielsen too. :approve:

It would all come down to COST. If it costs money - it will not happen. Good idea though.

Ouch - a "Parcel of Rogues in a Nation" springs to mind.

WOW!!! I'm impressed. :approve:

Credibility is the problem here. The problem is - Speedway doesn't have any these days. :sad:

Were you there tonight?

It was a great shame that the Meeting tonight was marred by so many injuries. In all my years of attending Speedway - I cannot remember THREE Riders being withdrawn from a Meeting. I am sure that had there not been so many injuries the result would have been closer. I saw what I consider the best Race I have seen this Season between Ben Barker and Stuart Robson (and that after Barker was injured) Barker won a thrilling contest. He had two wins from two Rides before he had to withdraw. I am sure he would have recorded a Maximum. I sincerely hope that he, and his colleagues are soon healed and ready to get back to Racing. A great deal of credit is due to the rest of the 'Devils' Team and their Manager - they tried very hard to make a go of it. Last - but not least - a very BIG thank you to our good friends from Plymouth who are a REAL credit to Plymouth Speedway. Personally, as usual, I enjoyed their company hugely - not just that - but I enjoyed a real taste of Devon too in the form of Devon Cream, Scones and Jam. I would like to thank them so much - they certainly livened up a Meeting that was, sadly, not as good for them as it might have been. They did not lose their cheerfulness or their good humour. TRUE Speedway Supporters!! THANK YOU ALL!!!

Sadly there isn't a British League - we are stuck with the Elite League, the Premier League and the National League. Must be three of the biggest misnomers - EVER!! What was so wrong with British League Division One, Two and Three?

Apart from Klindt - I don't disagree with the fact that they are GOOD Riders - they are. But Elite - NEVER.

Of THAT - I have no doubt. :sad:

That may be so - but - apart from the Rider I have higlighted - I don't see any of them being ELITE - do you????? :rolleyes: Remember - I saw Klindt at Newcastle last week.

I reckon that will be one of the main reasons for dropping Crowds. Though how something imaginary takes the place of REAL excitement - I really don't know. :shock:

I agree. I would still like to see Nielsen again though.............................

I can understand that. "Dirty Leeds"!!! :angry:

I think it might be Simon Nielsen.

Why? The Elite League is no longer Elite. Rather, it is a League propped up with Premier League Riders and - perhaps more to the point - National League Riders. I know everything in the garden isn't rosy in the Premier League - BUT - I think it is a damned sight more rosy than the Elite League. I would not argue about your choice of Tracks - just with the highlighted statement.

He did well for us last time.

George needs to borrow my glasses.

Now this could be interesting. :lol:

No - sadly they don't deem it necessary to keep information like that. BIG mistake.

It must have been good - you went TWICE.

Let's hope that Birmingham can repeat that next Season.

Actually Colin, I can. ALL of them in the Premier League. That must tell you something....

I'm pleased to hear it. I still didn't think it was funny though.

But I thought this was a NATIONAL Stadium where all the big International Events would take place. I understood that it was to modelled on the old Hyde Road Track. That would have been terrific. Why has, so it seems, the Track been compromised? Surely it is FIRST AND FOREMOST a Speedway Venue and THEN a Rugby Pitch. What the hell has happened here? I'm not happy!!! :angry:
