The White Knight

I do now bbH. Thanks to - anonymous. :)

I must admit - I don't know about that. Perhaps someone can help on this? It would be interesting to know the answers to those questions that you pose.

Very true!!!!. :sad:

That should be a good thing. If Stocks and Dogs can run successfully - so could Speedway, surely?

Spot on gustix. :approve: I look forward to reading more interesting stuff about the 'Dons' in days gone by. As Sid says - "keep it going".

Definitely NOT a waste of time gustix - just too many Wimbledon Threads covering the same thing. All of them are interesting - but they could probably all have been covered by one Thread. I have enjoyed reading them though.

I think that would be a good idea. There could be problems though. Who would administer the Fund, who would decide how the money was spent in ten years time, where would the incoming money (if any) be invested over the next ten years? As you say - probably not a goer - but a good idea nonetheless,

Whatever has happened to Peter Collins, Nigel Boocock, Les Collins, Dave Jessup, Michael Lee - I would argue that most of them were better than those you mention apart from Simmo.

As Belle Vue found out - but they managed it. While there is life, there is hope - fingers crossed for Swindon.

Who - honest - I haven't a clue Steve. Now you've got me worried.

I bet you would be even more pleased to reach 100. 90 = Nothing in my book. 100 = Something really special and well worth celebrating..

Had you added, where credibility is concerned, get rid of Rules that contrive/fiddle Results ie: Tac Subs and Double Points, that would have been the perfect Post mikebv. :approve:

Yes - haven't we all. :sad:

A great question that will require a great deal of thought.

Good Post - Great Sentence moxey63. :approve:

I agree - they have to deal with people like............................................ME!! :unsure:

I know Barry and Doug are different people I am good friends with both of them. I don't know Eric Thornton though. :)

Perhaps British Speedway should start saving some money for the 100th Anniversary. (Always assuming that Speedway in Britain still exists in ten years time). The 90th, though a long time, isn't really a milestone Event.

Friends = Jack Millen and Jim Wells. Both Sunderland 'Stars'. Enemies = Jack Millen and Frank Auffret. Auffret Teeside 'Tigers'.

It happens occasionally in Association Football Matches too. Usually for safety reasons.

Utter Poo!!! Speedway needs to be made attractive to EVERYONE. ABC1s should be attracted, yes - but crucially so should EVERYONE else. Another thing - where is the money going to come from to 'do up' these Stadia? Speedway is a small Sport with limited income - plus, of course there are Tracks who do not own their own Stadium and have very little influence on infrastructure. They are probably allowed the Track, Pits, a few selling points (food, souvenirs etc.) and that's it. I don't profess to know the answer - but one thing I do know is that Speedway needs to attract everybody from all socio-economic Groups.

What about those Tracks using Greyhound Stadia where the Stadium may not be available on Fridays and Saturdays? Just close them down I suppose.

A very good and perceptive Post Moxey63. I can agree with, and associate myself with, every single word. Most particularly the Team ethic that you emphasise.

Cheers Rob. :approve:
