The White Knight

That is NOT a question berniev123 - it is a statement. :nono:

I cannot attend. Believe me - I would if I could. I only hope that there will be some Report on here, or on the Belle Vue Website to explain to us what is to happen with the Belle Vue Team. Who do YOU support? Apparently this could have been sorted out ages ago were it not for the BSPA, SCB etc.. according to folk on here. If that is true then the delay cannot be laid at Belle Vue's door. If that is right it would also be very, very wrong to penalise Belle Vue Speedway for the possible dilatory behaviour of others.

A very good question that. I had to laugh at the IOU crack. :rofl: Very good wtg28.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! George. :party:

Shame that compost. :rofl: I did try.

I totally agree with that. I used to enjoy the Second Halves - watching the youngsters progress from wobblers to getting in to the Team. I miss the Scurry too - the Second Halvers battling for a Reserve place in the Team - all good stuff. A sad loss in my opinion.

Very impressive Interview. Kevin came over really well.

I can well believe that.

It's got nothing to do with youngsters - but just might improve Speedway for the Spectator.. You know - to try and drag the Sport out of the Doldrums. Then again - I'm probably wasting my time - there are some who seem happy for Speedway to remain there. I only brought it up because Doubling Up, Doubling Down and Double Points are at least partly responsible for Speedway's decline.

I might even come along and have a go.......... :shock:

There was indeed - that was pulled down years ago when they enlarged the Dog Track. The Main Stand is nowadays very plush - not like it was when you and I went. The seating upstairs was OK but you could never call it plush. For your interest: http://www.sunderlandspeedway.co.uk/ and http://www.defunctspeedway.co.uk/Sunderland.htm I hope this brings back some happy memories for you.

You are a top man Sir. :approve: I well remember Ross Gilbertson at Sunderland with the 'Bombers'.

IF it is true what you stated above (your second sentence) - then you have answered your own question. If it can't be pulled down until a new Stadium is in place, even if the new Stadium doesn't happen, at least you still have the old one.

Or - if you would like a follow up to the above superb Site run by John Skinner you could get additional information here: http://www.sunderlandspeedway.co.uk/ I have no idea who has put this Site back on line as we closed it down - but - it mysteriously re-appeared. The original builder of the Site was Madweb Design's Tim Allan.

Sadly norbold - you are probably right. That's the point with Sunderland and Speedway Promoters

Let's hope so wtg28. There are grounds for optimism with Neil Vatcher's youngsters in Training. I really hope that one or two of those can come through. We need more than that though to get rid of the dreadful 'hat trick': Double Up, Double Down and Double Points.

SUNDERLAND. SUNDERLAND. SUNDERLAND. SUNDERLAND. SUNDERLAND. That's my top five anyway. I reckon that makes my thoughts on this Thread fairly clear.

The squabblers are winning at the moment. :sad: Sorry to be so flippant but the carry on here is ridiculous. Every time I get a Reply Notification e-mail for this Thread I look straight away for, hopefully, good news about the 'Aces'. What do I get? People acting like bloody kids. I wish they would p*ss off and start a Thread for Squabblers only.

That was a bit naughty norbold. :nono: You should have chucked them down your famous hole.

A shame that this Thread seems to have sunk in to petty squabbling. Personally - I am keeping my fingers crossed for Belle Vue.

I believe 'Dingle' Brown was one of those involved gustix. Hope this helps.

Doesn't look like it OFF - does it? Worrying times.

No surprise there CHR.

I hope it is still working OK. What sort of lowlife steals a life saving piece of equipment like that? I despair sometimes.

My Wembley visits were really good - but - I was far more impressed with the Racing at the old Hyde Road Track. The Racing I saw there was just awsome.
