And I bet you knew it would be me

I am exactly the same I also use the word "numpty" about you as well !!!!!!!!

You speak for yourself, I hope you are not including me in that!!!!!!

No the truth is what is needed not a statement that appears to pretty much concur with Richard Lawsons opinion albeit thinly disguised

A modern speedway engine withe super light flywheels and short stroke motors has no capability to keep revving when it hits some dirt. When it does so it will kill the revs and lift the bike up or send it of in the direction of the fence. The new silencers merely compounded a problem that the riders and tuners themselves have developed over the years

Or conversely it could be because of us that new younger fans don't attend. When an event looks like a badly dressed darby and joan convention it doesn't give it the must attend type of feel about it for any potential younger fans out there

Isn't altering a post in a quote totally against forum rules

Well I could post the answer but I would be afraid the writing style may not be to your liking and cause you to make more idiotic comments so I will decline Incidentally should it not be first and last names or christian and surnames, not jumping between the two are you

The 1955 Final was on the 16th September, Craven was 21 years and 87 days The 1954 final was on 15th September, Ronnie was 21 years and 230 days Mike Lee is the next youngest in 1980

You really are a wally John

I don't know whether he rides on a British License or not but is irrelevant as to who he would represent in the SWC. With a British License a rider could represent Great Britain in the SGP but in the SWC it is the riders passport that determines who he represents So yes I am serious

What has that got to do with the SWC ?

Tokyo Melody wasn't the music the track staff marched out to at Hyde Road. Tokyo Melody was prior to Blaze Away which was when the track staff marched (in later years ambled) from under the main stand by the Tetley Tavern, through onto the track towards the pits

I would agree with that, it is pretty much perm any 2 from 3 really with King/Cook/Barker Its GB by the way Michael, there is no team UK

Getting to be a farce now, no one knows what the hell is going on, I have e mailed Eurosport telling them I am cancelling my subscription unless they make an announcement regarding this

Really, that would be very good if so, perhaps another quick e mail to Quest just to put my mind at rest will be in order

Quest used to be on channel 38 but has recently moved to channel 37, a re tune will sort it out. So i heard anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will send an e mail to find out what is going on, dreadful way to treat your customers. Is it on Quest or is it on channel 37. Is it on at all or we will we all be watching toy hunters.

Not sure myself, the headline in the article is a bit vague isn't it

Great coverage from Quest, so much better that Eurosport. Thanks to Quest for coming in to save the day. Bit tied up on Sunday so thought I better get in early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eurosport (like SKY or ITV) only want content to show between ad breaks, the value of which is determined by various factors. Harsh as it may be ads between a major equestrian event will command more blue chip advertisers and a higher revenue due to the higher percentage of ABC1s watching than ad breaks between speedway. If anything is to be pushed out it will likely not be the equestrian.

It was first made public in early 2010 and it is well documented that they have been working on this for 7 years now. A little research before a post can save you looking a little silly really

Yes it is any wonder because they are supposed to be professional businessmen, not kids all excited by talk of a new bike for Christmas. If a press release was to be made, and the public should be kept as informed as possible, it only needed a few lines saying no further progress has been made to date but things are still happening. Building a nothing statement into a landmark event is just plain silly

What a nonsense article, its just a load of words that say nothing.
