The White Knight

Not many (if any) of which seem to benefit grass roots Speedway. :sad:

Very difficult to judge something like this over very different eras but - here goes: 1) Peter Collins 2) Bluey Wilkinson 3) Michael Lee.

Short and to the point Oldace.

Thank you for that norbold. It is a terrific photograph.

Has the makings of an interesting Thread this. I too am ignorant in many ways on these matters. Perhaps Humphrey or some other luminary could help?

I don't agree. The new Stadium will be used, as I understand it, for training Riders. Those Riders will come from all parts of the United Kingdom, not just Manchester and surrounding area, so in that sense it is a National Stadium. It will also be the best Speedway Stadium in the Country by a country mile. Ergo I believe it has the absolute right to be called the National Stadium. I wonder if jealousy and envy has more to do with the barbed comments about the new Stadium being styled the National Speedway Stadium.

As I said. Just watch - it will go somewhere else now that I have said that. :blush:

Out of interest norbold - who is the Rider pictured in your Avatar please?

I bow to your superior knowledge on these matters. I had not realised that. Thank you for the information.

Love it RD. :rofl: :rofl:

Chain them together with one chain to pull them all off the Track together. There you go - problem solved.

Perhaps Neck Braces and Inflatable Jackets should be compulsory. The problem, of course, is Cost to Riders. Perhaps those particular Items could be provided by the Promoter?

A Two Valve Jawa. :approve:

Easy done - however - they (Geordies) are usually the ones with their knuckles dragging along the ground. I hope this helps with your identification problems in the future Comet Dan. :rofl: Only kidding Geordies.

It seems there are moaners everywhere........................................ :rolleyes: Up the 'ACES'!!! :approve:

Correct Dave. The very idea that George would not try to organise a replacement Guest is ridiculous. He lives and breathes Newcastle Speedway. I very occasionally don't agree with some of his choices but his dedication to the 'Diamonds' s unquestionable. People need to remember that without George there would, in all probability, be no Speedway at Newcastle.

Don't forget the PIES screm. They are just the best. :approve:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I enjoyed watching Stuart Robson team riding at Newcastle. Not a dead art - but - just about.

Brilliant News. I wish Lewis all the very best for the future.

I'm afraid that I fall in to that category tmc. Please see above Tony. Sorry. Well I will NOT be cancelling any of my Subscriptions Oldace.

I wish. :sad:

This is GREAT to see lastword. Thank you for Posting it.

One of the things that hack me off is when a Rider with quick reflexes makes a very fast start and is then pulled back for infringing the Starting Rules - in my opinion that is wrong. As it happens I also have some sympathy for those who try to anticipate the Start too. They gamble - if they touch the Tapes they are off 15 metres - if they don't they are away and good luck to them. The whole point being that they can win or lose on that gamble.

Yet another example, as if one was needed, of Speedway's total ineptness at getting along together - even in their own interests. I despair.
