The White Knight

Reason, I suspect, will have little to do with it. The money however............................................... Or - am I a cynic.

No place for Lewis Kerr? Shame on you.

I actually agree with you on that SCB. My problem is, and always has been, that for years now the Elite League has been watered down to a point where there is not, if you are totally honest, a great deal of difference between the two Leagues. Yet, it has to be repeated the Elite League get all of the money and most of the coverage. Were all of the GP Riders riding in the Elite League I could possibly accept all of this - but - in the Elite League nowadays almost one third of each Team are National League Riders. As you say in your Post - "people want to see the best" - well, with respect there is no way that Teams containing National League Riders, and by the way, lots of Premier League Riders too can be called the best - because they are not. It doesn't matter how you dress it up, National League Riders and Premier League Riders are not 'the best'. Some of them may well develop in to the best - but at present they are not............ All in all - British Speedway is in a mess and in badly needs sorting out. How they do this now I don't know. One League? Perhaps. Something does, however, need to be done - and done soon. I didn't realise they were that poorly. :shock: :sad:

Yes - Congratulations to all Texters, Updaters and also Sue for providing a great Service for us all on Speedway Updates. Thank you all very much.

Absolutely superb. What a fine young man and credit to his Parents Tai has become.

But it is 'them' (Elite League) who get all the money from SKY. This is surprising because in my opinion the Premier League Meetings on SKY have been usually more exciting than those in the Elite League. Hardly surprising then that it is 'them and us'.

Spot on Oldace. Really sad though isn't it? :sad:

It might force a few Tuners to reduce their Prices too? :shock: :nono:

So the Tuners can make money - and lots of it?

Only Poole more so - as they had actually won the League Championship already, before the 'Play Offs'. EDIT: ............... and I am a Belle Vue Supporter/Follower.

Hopefully it will do him good and that Belle Vue will benefit. Cook is far too good for the Premier League.

Can I assume that as you haven't replied to my earlier Post in response to your questions that you actually agree with me? I do hope so.

I agree with both of your choices CHR.

My feelings about BSI are pretty well known on here Oldace. I rue the day that Speedway got itself involved with BSI. To a large extent, their GPs have ruined British Speedway. They don't appear to put much back in to the Sport either. The GPs are their franchise, for want of a better word, no matter who Promotes the GP, be it them or the Polish Authorities/Promotors BSI are ultimately responsible. The whole show is under their banner whether you, or Philip, like it or not. The responsibility for presenting a professional Event is ultimately theirs.

Not just Humphrey Philip. If BSI wants plaudits for things they do well for Speedway (and I can't think of anything) - then they must accept responsibility when things go wrong.

I think this is a major problem throughout Speedway. I reckon there will be money lost at all Tracks on a weekly basis because of of this. It is criminal really in a failing Sport.

Sounds great Aleksandr. But will it be allowed in League Speedway? I couldn't care less about GP Speedway - they can do their own thing if they wish - and are able to afford it.

NEW, YOUNG, ENERGETIC AND ENTHUSIASTIC PROMOTERS ARE REQUIRED FOR NEXT SEASON. I edited the above Post for accuracy.

A bigger paying attendance certainly.

Nowhere. They are totally irrelevent as far as providing spare Starting Gates is concerned. BSI however - the Promoting Company..............................................................................

Possibly because we are so sad, we have nothing else to do with our lives. :sad:

I don't know for certain who was to blame on that one Humphrey - but a spare Gate should have been available on such a 'prestigeous' occasion. I did, however, think that BSI had overall responsibility for the GPs, ergo it was ultimately their fault.

Pressed 'Like' Button by mistake so I have 'Unliked'. I think they can - should there not have been a spare Starting Gate to cover for unfortunate happenings like the one that occurred? Seems like common sense to me. Fair enough if two had broken down..................

Hopefully the 'powers that be' will have learn't from previous mistakes. At least the Meeting is earlier this year, so that is a start.

THat's not right - I'm a Member too.
