The White Knight

Surely you don't want someone that bad. :shock:

So you are admitting that it could have been a fiddle - and that I was right do you?

Thank you JL.

I can't prove it - but - I believe it. :nono:

Speedway Supporters have ALWAYS gone above and beyond in an attempt to keep their Team/Club going. I know that we did at Sunderland - unsuccessfully as it turned out but at least we tried.

I think you need to ask Barry Briggs about that. I believe that he was conned.

Cheers for the explanation Dave - the old Memory isn't failing as much as I thought it was. :rolleyes: :unsure:

That's me I'm afraid. :rolleyes:

Only if you Publish them.......................................................................

We have always been made VERY welcome at Brough Park and loads of good folk know where we are from - no-one makes us feel unwelcome and we always have some playful banter. We have great chat and great fun - apart from Double Points, which, in the area we stand, mostly agree the Rule is ridiculous. It is truly a shame that it can't always be like that. :sad:

:rofl: Just the sort of response I expected - I find it all VERY sad. WE come to Newcastle from Sunderland each week - why would a few folk from Sunderland put off Newcastle Supporters - or - is it that Football thing again. :sad:

But that would NOT attract anyone from the biggest connurbation on the North East Coast.

But it ISN'T is it? It might (arguably) have the best Riders - but certainly on the evidence of the last few Seasons on the Television it doesn't have the BEST Racing. Let's face it THAT is what we go to watch.

I did indeed Synikalle - I was 19 years old. That was in 1964 at Sunderland. I've been hooked for nearly Forty years. Recently I have become very depressed and cynical about the state of the Sport I love(d) - it is certainly not the same nowadays - and some of the Rules beggar belief.

They did indeed Abbott - but crucially - Parsloe's Post stated that changing the name to perhaps capture folk from other areas would be a good idea - I believe it is a VERY worthwhile suggestion. I think I have come up with the perfect answer for Newcastle. Don't you?

Hey Parsloes - what a great idea. Newcastle 'Diamonds' could start a National League Team - I wonder what they could call it? EUREKA!!!! I know................................... SUNDERLAND 'STARS'!!! Now wouldn't THAT be great.

Ahh!! Thanks - must be me.

Any one know what happened to the Air Fence Newcastle were supposed to get from Peterborough a while ago? I can't remember why - but I'm sure I remember something about this.

Speaking as one of those will 'no longer be around' - you are right - on this Point at least. That is why I 'Liked' your Post.

Ah - but would Lewis Bridger know the difference between Craig Cook and Trigger??

But crucially - NOT all............................................. Those who don't will be at an even bigger disadvantage. It all seems so very unfair on the youngsters - the future of our Sport. :sad:

I'm going back a bit I know - so please humour me: i] Graeme Smith. ii] Jack Millen. iii] Russ Dent. Well - I can dream of those days - can't I? :) If you were talking specifically of last Season - I apologise for Posting this.

Whilst I agree with the main thrust of your argument - it has to be said that if one Rider is streets ahead in ability to the rest of his competition - wins by miles every time he races - then that IS a bit boring for the Spectator who enjoys good Racing.

Never heard anything about it - how unusual.

Well they Could Ride against them THREE times to make up the Meetings - oh!! - and the money of course. :rofl:
