A family of Sikhs got up and walked out. You're right, they don't make em like that anymore. He was definitely on the receiving end with endless jokes about blacks from his fellow comedians. Never offended though and took them in good spirit . People had different mentality in those days. Some would say better. As for the speedway in those days , that was definitely better. Halcyon days sadly gone forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 (edited) 3 hours ago, WookieboyDon said: You do realise you can think that the sport is in trouble, needs new direction but can also be positive about it at the same time, rather than continually talking it down?!! okay... give it a shot, and I am being serious, and stay on topic 😃 I think if it's positivity people are looking for, this isn't the topic thread for them. There's plenty of positivity during the season especially on the meeting topic threads, suggesting that once the tapes go up there's nothing much wrong with the sport.

You would think something so fundamentally important in actually delivering the sport each season would have been given some media focus wouldn't you? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then (Wednesday or Thursday?) us folk on the outside can only wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 I would think a brief statement of the main 'bullet points' will be issued to Speedway Star to meet their Tuesday evening deadlines, with a longer statement made available this week, As it is certain there will be 2 senior leagues, I would hope that a statement for 2026 provides a 'temporary' format solution (as its relatively short-notice) with plans agreed for significant changes in 2027. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phannan Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 So today’s date of major exciting news being announced was never worth a w… really. Us customers, as ever, twiddling our thumbs till they decide we’re worthy enough to be put in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bob at herne bay Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 I heard rumours that the age had been postponed to later this month . So no idea if there was an agm today or not . There’s no rush . With 4 or 5 teams the season could start in June and be finished By August Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Irving Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Perhaps it’s been delayed again until Sir Christopher Louis decides to come back from his Hollibobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Maybe they waiting to announce after a TV deal fell through they have decided to join onlyfans and once a month the 5 promoters have to strip for money ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
