The White Knight

Why oh why did Lindgren have to move off his line on the last bend? I was totally gobsmacked. Well done Monarchs' - I think you have the best Rider in the League this year. Cook was awesome.

Well something has to be done to make Speedway a viable proposition.

The fact that we are having this Discussion is proof enough to me that the Elite League is no longer Elite. The Sport HAS to be run on a sound Financial footing. If Tracks cannot afford certain Riders, they should not have them. This Recession we are in will go on for a long time yet - we MUST cut our coat according to our cloth. If we don't, then there is nothing but trouble ahead.

I'm not arguing with you on that. What I AM saying is that Glyn did NOT try to kill off Redcar Speedway as you implied in your Post - that is all.

My point exactly - but you put it far more nicely than I.

Yes - I believe so.

............................ and also SOME Elite League Supporters. :angry:

I prefer Speedway. :shock:

Very well put Sir. :approve:

VERY well said vivabossman - that is it in a nutshell. Whatever Glyn did or didn't do - he provided a GREAT Track for Riders to Race on. That fact alone should NOT be forgotten. He ALWAYS did his best for Redcar Speedway. Sometimes things don't work out and, sadly, it didn't for Glyn - he made some mistakes - BUT - don't we all?

Better off getting it on Subscription - cheaper as well. ................................ and a GREAT read too. :approve:

You can only Race on the Track that is there. If Ludo had the ability to keep someone behind him for all of the Race - that in itself is a skill. :approve:

Entry of the Gladiators at Sunderland and Knock three times. If I ever hear either of them on the wireless - I am transported, in my mind, back to Sunderland Speedway. I thought it was only me - great to know others have the same experience.

Great News that.

No - 'Tiger' Beech. Former Rayleigh 'Rocket'.

Rubbish - Glyn Taylor did not TRY to shut down Redcar Speedway. OK he made some mistakes at Redcar - but crucially Glyn is still one of the BEST Trackmen around Speedway today.

Hope you are NOT being facetious GC.

I sincerely hope that you are not a Member of the Leicester Intelligentsia. :rolleyes:

We would probably still have the 'one off' World Final.

I don't know if they do Matt. I agree, though, they probably do.

Two wrongs don't make a right though Matt. BSI will bleed Speedway dry - it is not in their perceived interest to consider the future of the Sport. As long as they can cream off the top Riders for their GPs - they are happy. As soon as the standards of the top Riders coming through drop - they will be off into the sunset with a bag full of Cash leaving Speedway to sort the mess out afterwards. Mark my words. Now if the put some money in to a Development Programme for Speedway Riders that might be different - but - THEY DON'T!!! :angry:

Precisely ch958.

Never - and before you criticise me too much - I doubt if I ever will - the whole place seems to be populated with whingers and moaners if you and one or two more on here are anything to go by. IT PUTS ME OFF!!!

So you think IMG and BSI are the bees knees do you?

Me too - I had forgotten about that. (gosh - my memory is rubbish). Bit difficult in Midsummer (not the Murders, before anyone comments ). They would have to start the Meetings at 2100hrs.
