The White Knight

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!! :rofl:

Not ALL of the ills Philip - I never said that. Just MOST of them. I could also include SKY too - their ridiculous ideas of making the Sport more exciting. You know what they are. They have taken a TERRIFIC Sport and mucked it about so that it is almost unrecognisable to the Speedway I once knew. The Sport is a mere shadow of what it used to be. Look at the attendances, it's not ALL the Recession. Sadly Speedway is losing it's appeal - I wonder why? It couldn't be these contrived situations - could it? I certainly believe that it does not help.

I just wish BSI/IMG had never got involved with Speedway. The Sport seems to have gone downhill since the start of their involvement. :sad:

??? :t: That's GREAT News for Plymouth Supporters.

Thanks for the tip off screm - I nipped through and watched it. It was good - but - not enough.

Well - It certainly has NOTHING to do with SPORT!!! :mad:

.................and there you have it Sir. I rest my case.

Worrying times with the Recession. Folk don't have the disposable income that they used to have what with a Costs rising and Wages fairly static. According to the News yesterday only 20% of Government Cuts have come through and affected us to date. That means there is another 80% to come. Heaven help us. You only have to look at the Utility Price Rises in the pipeline (no pun intended) to see that things are going to get a lot worse by Spring/Summer next year. Let's just hope that Speedway can get through this and survive. I believe it will be that bad. :sad:

Newcastle - League Champions. Somerset/Scunthorpe - 'Play Off' Champions. Simples.

Me either.

Thank you so much for your kind wishes for my Son - he will be OK - but - your messages are much appreciated.

I am so pleased that we got something out of the Season. Top of the League (really Champions) - and - Cup Winners - I'll settle for that. :approve: Hard luck Ipswich - All the best for next Season.

Just found out I am unable to get to the Meeting this evening. Son currently at Hospital. Very best wishes to the 'Diamonds' tonight. Hope we can get the Silverware. A safe Meeting to ALL Riders.

Cheers old buddy. :)

Any Weather Report from Brough please?

I never fail to be amazed at how much knowledge there is about Speedway out there. I am also very impressed with the way Speedway people try to help each other out with information etc. I think it is a GREAT credit to our Sport that folk are prepared to go to such lengths. For the second time in two days (I'm Posting the following) - I am so pleased that I chose to follow Speedway as a young man - it WAS like that then - it IS like that now. Long may it be so. Thank you Steve for confirming that.

Thank you for your reply aljack. :approve:

I hope that you are not including the Newcastle Riders in this statement. I don't think you are - but - I am unsure???

Crikey!!! Is there anything Ole Olsen is NOT involved in?

SEAWEED!!! My goodness Dave - you are going back a bit now. I haven't heard that 'old wives tale' for years and years. Excellent.

I reckon that is a great idea Shadow Captain. :approve:

Well - roll on tomorrow - let's just hope that the weather is kind - and a VICTORY - of course. :approve:

Yep!! We'll have to have the Thermals on Bob. Actually - I wish I had some.

Paul Starke did well too. Well done Paul. :approve:

Is it FINAL then or are negotiations still ongoing? I am dreadfully sorry to hear about these problems. Plymouth Supporters do not need this. They turned up at Newcastle, a few weeks ago - and what a smashing lot they were. Speedway NEEDS people like these.
