Having followed this thread with initial interest in the American League, and then reading some of the comments from Speedy Guy, i can only comment that far too many people in this sport live in the past.
This Dinosaur approach has nearly brought the sport to it's knees on a few occassions in the past and we can only thank the lord above that SpeedyGuy is not a memeber of the BSPA.
To decry the the purpose of the CL as fastracking youngsters is quite ludicrous. I find it even more incredible that Speedy Guy watches CL himself at Wimbledon, im suprised i havent seen similar comments on the Wimbledon thread laughing off any future attempt to find an alternative site for the Dons, purely because it couldn't be done 150 years ago or over a similar time scale.
Indeed, the history of the sport is very important, but this outdated ranting really doesnt do anyone within the sport anygood. I assume you wish to keep seeing regular speedway Speedyguy, but if there were many others adopting a similar theory to yours inside the sport, i fear we would all be doomed and speedway would be out of existence within 10 years!!
