The White Knight

i) That is exactly the point BW - we are both arguing about something where there is NO solid facts. I cannot, and indeed have not stated that the Crowds would be better without the Play Offs because I cannot produce hard evidence that I am right - equally, you cannot produce hard evidence that you are right. What you can do, and this I concede, is correctly state, as you have done, that a lot of people attend the Play Offs themselves - what you cannot prove, and neither can I, is how Speedway is effected overall by Attendances against Play Offs. All I can do is to state accurately that Crowds, in general, have plummeted since the advent of the Play Offs. All you can say is that, as I said, the Play Offs are well attended. I hope this explains my position and also answers your third question (iii). ii) I accept your word that you have apologised/admitted to being wrong in the past. I certainly cannot remember seeing it happen. Apologies for the minor Edits to your Post (adding numbers) - I thought it was the best way of answering it. At least you are not arguing about the fact that the Top Team are unfairly treated by the said Play Offs.

Personally - I hope it is Kus. A very useful Rider in my opinion.

The main regret I have in Speedway is that I never saw Peter Craven. I have read about him and seen film but I never saw him ride in the flesh. I came to Speedway in 1964, sadly too late to see him. He is still one of my Speedway Heroes though.

Yes - of course you are. :rofl: :rofl:

Then I fail to see why you are Debating it then. You seem to know/understand everything about everything. The problem with know alls is - they never know when they are wrong. You insult Fred Flange, me and numerous others. We are all entitled to an opinion - whether you like it or not.

I don't envy folk much. But in this case I make an exception - I envy you.

I understand that 'Briggo' won but that the BBC thought it was better to give it to an Olympic Athlete instead. SODS!!!

I apologise if my Post read as being sarcastic - it was not meant to be. I just wanted to get my point across. I certainly did not mean to offend you. I think you mean 'is'. Only one person doing that and it is NOT Fred Flange. Personal remarks like that lose you the argument straight away. EDIT: Yet another typo on my account. I have inserted the word NOT which I meant to put in the first place.

Mackem and proud my friend. :approve:

Those two Posts had me laughing like mad. :rofl: :rofl:

You never said a truer word. Still a Legend and a Hero here in Sunderland. Thanks for the memories Jack. R.I.P. +

They do indeed.

Nothing wrong with Raincoats and Trilbys jenga.

Nice one. :rofl:

A very good suggestion RD - he would be very good in that position. :approve:

As far as I am aware the Play Off monies are shared by the Clubs involved in said Play Offs, and are not shared out among every Club in the League. Bearing this in mind - which Teams have been saved from closure by the Play Offs? I, for one, would love to know. I haven't certainly. I bet no-one else has either.

For being a Liberal Democrat. :rofl: :rofl:

I doubt if Tai is paying much Income Tax here. He doesn't ride here so - why should he? Anything he is paying will probably come from Media Appearances.

That makes sense Dave. I've been puzzling myself about this since the request was Posted. Thank you.

I would doubt it.

No - me neither - but the Forum Technical expert obviously obviously has a bee in his bonnet.

It will never happen Colin. :rolleyes:

What 'A'??? :unsure:

I was going to say that if anyone says the A1 - they were dead meat. :D

I certainly wouldn't argue with that.
