The White Knight

Thanks for the information rmc. In this instance I was not blaming "Johnny Foreigner" I was blaming an Organisation that I have been totally against since Ted Heath conned us in to believing we were joining a Common Market. Even those who Voted for the Common Market did not expect things to develop as far as they have, in particular the right being removed from us to say who we will have and who we will not have in our Country.

I couldn't agree more - but - will it?

Bloody European Union again. What a pain in the bottom it is. I wish to heaven we were out of it.

Yes - they are. They are also milking Speedway for all they are worth - with very little, if anything at all, being put back in to the Sport. :mad: :mad:

That's pretty low in the circumstances. :mad: :nono:

We don't need reminding. :unsure:

What I would say in stevehone's defense is that Photography may be the way that he earns his living. If so, anyone else printing his work may be affecting his income - and that would be wrong. I only offer this as a possibility, and if so, would be an understandable reason for his reaction.

Very well done to Plymouth. Now all we have to do is regroup for Sunday. Come on 'Diamonds' - we can do it.

Yes they are. Hopefully the 'Diamonds' will do as well on Sunday.

The Sport makes you sick - does it? :D

Just for that -- and nothing else.

Why do these idiots feel the need to do something like this. I really cannot understand why...................................................... B*STARDS!!!

I agree with you RD. It would be super to see Plymouth get in to these 'Play Offs'. :approve:

Sacked by Text. :mad: If so - Classy - I don't think so. :mad:

Spot on.

All over now - and still no comments.

Perhaps we could share one between us.

Eeeerrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmm. :party:

I wonder where the GP boys will ride when they are finished with the GPs. I seriously doubt BSI will look after them. Ah well - back to Racing in Britain.

Sadly you are right. Loyalty, to me, is important but, these days it seems as if it is a word that will disappear from the English Language. It seems the same throughout the working environment. Loyalty is a thing of the Past.

That is a very good point. I must admit I had not considered that.

Might not appear to be a major problem for Speedway iris123. It may be a big problem for the Supporters though. If Speedway Supporters cannot relate to their Riders, they see the Sport as impersonal. That, to me is a shame, and if they see it that way they may wonder whether going to Speedway is worth it. I would suggest, that to quite a lot over the years, it hasn't been, and that is at least part of the reason the Sport is hemorrhaging Supporters at an alarming rate.

The simple answer is you can't. You also need your Supporters to build up relationships with their Riders. You could, and did do that years ago - it seems impossible now sadly. The pressure for the Rider to get away to the next part of the 'Circus' is just too great.

To be fair rmc - Derby Games in Football do generally have increased Attendances over ordinary 'run of the mill' Games. The argument is - would that happen in Speedway if you were playing your nearest neighbours. I think it could possibly be the case.

I think quite a few Supporters of Teams like Redcar and Plymouth and others may have something to say about this........... Not for me under that system I'm afraid. Sorry.
