The White Knight

THAT is a major reason that Supporters are dwindling away. It used to be great when you could get to know your own Riders year on year. You can't do that now, chat to them for a Season and very often they are gone. NO continuity - sadly.

Because he needs to do something else with his wrists now and again.

Clever Mike - VERY clever.

Yes - but - not totally off the Planet...................................................................

GREAT idea. NO chance though.

Both Posts are BRILLIANT.

We desperately hope so. Is that your final word WW.

Fair question. But -WHY??

Most interesting too I would say. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the Meeting.

I DO wish you hadn't mentioned Bric[ks]. :shock:

PLAN!!! :shock: What's one of them??? :rolleyes:

I'm puzzled - why 'Cynthia'??

I think it has already achieved that particular goal. :sad:

Won't cost him much. :shock:

Has René Bach actually indicated he wants to come to Newcastle - it might be a nice idea - but you can't go round pinching other Team's Riders.

A VERY fair point 500cc.

Hear, hear!! Well said SCB.

Not a lot afterwards either.

If they DID come along wanting to change things after the AGM - they should be told to s*d off!! The Sport of Speedway is far more important to Supporters of Speedway than ANY Television Company. Spot on BP.

I'm glad you at least acknowledge the FACT Skidder1.

Very true. Doesn't alter the fact that I am right though.

A well reasoned Post 1 valve. To answer your questions directly: I) Play Offs ii) Double Points iii) Yellow Helmet Cover The last one isn't that important - but crucially - I personally have a problem telling White from Yellow under lights. I would prefer the Yellow/Black Cover back.. IF they continue with the Double Points Ride - they could use a Green Helmet Cover for that. My views on i and ii are pretty well know and I have no need to elaborate. So - there are three ways SKY have spoiled the Sport for me. I have tried to answer your question as honestly as I can. I hope that you at least understand my stance.

In name only. :mad:

They (SKY) gave up on the GPs. They gave loads of money to the Elite League, very little to the Premier League and, as far as I know, none at all to the National League where we are supposed to try and develop our young Riders. Perhaps it is the Promoter's fault and they should have spread the riches around a bit - but - to be totally honest SKY has done absolutely nothing for the Premier/National Leagues. These two Leagues are getting through a very difficult financial Recession without any help from SKY - so, why should we be grateful to them? I can see if you are an Elite League Supporter why you may be a bit peeved at the current state of things - but crucially - the Premier/National League have absolutely NOTHING to do with the predicament in which the Elite League finds itself. It HAD the money, almost all of it. It spent beyond it's means. It needs to sort itself out and NOT rely on the other Leagues for help. If, as you say - "although clearly such comments will hardly help keep them (SKY) interested in the sport will they"? - I am NOT going to tailor my remarks around what SKY do or don't like. Frankly I couldn't care less - I support a prudent Premier League Club.

Not keen on that bit Dave. I think SKY have mucked up our Sport far too much already. I agree with everything else in your Post.
