The White Knight

Ask Hans Neilsen.

Speedway's soul sold. :sad: S**T!!! :mad:

Very - but they will justify it by saying that they can't afford to do anything else. :neutral: They need to produce good Racing Tracks or Speedway will continue to haemorrhage Supporters. If they don't we are in for the long painful death of our Sport. :sad:

I fear you might have hit the nail on the head with that one Matt.

Sadly you may be right Mixy230 - I don't like the picture you are painting but it does resonate with me. :sad: .................................. and yet Speedway is B****Y GREAT!!!

I still think 'some' money is better than 'NO' money being taken. That, of course, is MY logic - it obviously isn't BSI's. It would also have increased the Gate - by a negligible amount I agree but still an increase. I feel so sorry for those Parents who took their Kids to Cardiff expecting to pay the ADVERTISED Rates at the door and then being told 'No Concessions' those Children must have been VERY upset and disappointed - what an image to paint of our Sport. Not everybody can afford to pay Full Price for their Children - so they are virtually barred from the Stadium - NICE ONE BSI. To be honest I wish fervently that BSI had NEVER got involved with Speedway in the first place.

There's a few of us about.

I was down at Duxford watching Aeroplanes my friend. See you later. :)

The point is Matt that they do give Concessions for Children already - so why put the block on at a certain number. It just doesn't make sense either logically or financially. They would rather have empty seats taking NO money than let the Adults in with their Kids and actually SELL those seats thus making money. BSI must be some business if THAT'S the best they can come up with.

Very well - I hope. :)

An interesting thought. :sad:

I am really looking forward to this Meeting. I had to miss the last Meeting against Scunthorpe so it's about FOUR weeks since I had my fix. I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms. (No Arson ). Hoping for a Win and a safe Meeting for Riders on both Teams.

No - not sarcasm. I thought they did OK for a couple of fellows who are very new to commentating. They WILL get better - but it is like anything else - you have to learn to walk before you can run. I'm all for giving them a chance.

Real shame this - I nearly gave up when the Speedway didn't start on time. :sad: On the plus side - I thought Scott Nichols and his co Commentator did OK. Overall I think they will improve with practice - I certainly hope so. :neutral:

GREAT WIN FOR REDCAR!!!!! :approve: BUT - Double b****y Points influencing the Result again. :mad:

Very sad day indeed. Smashing Lad - thanks for the memories Vic. scarletrider is right - still fondly remembered here in Sunderland by Speedway folk. R.I.P.+

The Fantasy League. :rofl:

I prefer the word 'surprise'. That is the beauty of Sport - you get surprises. Unless, of course, people are trying to 'fix' it so you don't.

It is so sad to read so many criticisms of Leicester Speedway. You didn't have a Track for Twenty odd years, now you have one and all a lot of folk do is moan about it. I haven't watched Speedway in my home City of Sunderland for it will be FORTY years next year. I know - I've just had a GREAT idea. Why don't they move Leicester Speedway lock stock and barrel to Sunderland where it would, I am sure, be appreciated. B)

:t: As long as you are sorted OK. :)

Who is Rusty Staple???? :rofl:

It's all a bit pointless anyway. BSI will have in who they want to have in - 'one way or another'. Some World Championship. :rolleyes:

Gosh Mad Potter 2, I NEVER would have thought of that. :rofl:

Aaaahhhh!!! - silly you. This is SPEEDWAY we are talking about - it's about on a level with Israel being in the Eurovision Song Contest. I know where they are coming from - but - perhaps they could have called it something else. :)
