Once again Vince a very, very good Post with lots of good ideas. I really do hope that some Promoters read your Post - it should give them plenty of food for thought. WELL DONE!!!

Is your Grammar perfect? :nono:

Naughty RD - naughty. :nono: :rofl:

Your not wrong there sidney. :rofl: As for what would I do. About the only thing I can think of that could help Speedway is an Independent Overseer of the whole Sport with a Brief to completely reorganize Speedway. For all sorts of reasons that will not happen, and Speedway will continue to bumble along in it's own haphazard way until there are none of us 'oldies' left. Then it will probably become an Amateur Sport in this Country. Obviously there may be somebody else out there who has an answer - if there is - I wish they could come forward soon, whilst there is still a Sport around to be brought up to date.

I can remember Jason Crump and Niki Pedersen fighting to get last place (Both slowing down) regarding who did/didn't get the 'Joker' in the World Cup a few years ago. That was pretty demeaning for Speedway.

The 15 to 30 Group will last longer. It may surprise you but I generally get on very well with teenagers.

In my case - too long in the tooth Dave.

Those are my thoughts too iris123.

Except over Capital Letters. :D

I think this is a tremendous Thread. Great History and I have learned quite a bit too. Most contributors make this a real pleasure to read.

You are right - it is. He isn't worth a proper Reply.

Yes I do B.V72. To those who appear concerned about my Health - I am, touch wood, perfectly healthy at the moment thank you. I do thank you very much for your concern though - it is appreciated.

POSH!!! :shock: :shock: It "always amazes me" - how I have to decipher some Posts in order to grasp their meaning.

SUPERB!!!!! :rofl: BRILLIANT!!! :rofl: I can't stop laughing at these two Posts.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Read it again orion. No name calling - just factually correct. I am beginning to despair of your powers of understanding too.

Possibly.

Nice one Jacques. :rofl:

Of course if it does become one 'big' League perhaps the BSPA could find a League Sponsor - no problem with League name then. The 'Walkers Crisps' Speedway League for example. But will the BSPA or Gospeed put themselves about to do that? We must wait and see.

If you include Sponsors (Television Publicity) you are probably right.

Oh - you do attend then. You must do to make a statement like that. Or - are you going on hearsay?

Post removed by The White Knight. I will not lower myself despite provocation.

I think you will find the word you are looking for is - 'seize'. 'Cease', in my case fits very well though. Again - I don't have to explain myself to you - but - I will. I am involved at Church on Sundays so it is not possible for me to get to the Speedway at Newcastle at the moment. If, however, if the Double Points were dropped I would change things around in such a way that would enable me to attend. It is difficult for a one off Meeting. You know I take people's Posts at face value most of the time - you and a couple of others who shall remain nameless (you know who they are) always want to know the far end of a fa*t. I hope my explanation satisfies you, though I do doubt it.

Oh Dear. Yes - I attended Speedway in the days of the old Tactical Substitute - I didn't agree with it then - but - I put up with it. Yes - I also attended for many years watching the Tactical Ride which used to incense me. Eventually I got to the point of saying to myself - I don't need this - for Health reasons alone I am packing it in until the Double Points is no more. If it stays - no more Speedway for me. I don't have to explain myself to you two but I have done so in good faith. Now if 'Dumb and Dumber' would take my reasons for packing in as the truth - perhaps we can move on.

I think there is a certain amount of truth in that.
