  1. I would have no problems with the Kaiser's Flags either (Nazi one's I would have a problem with). Nor would I have a problem with the Cross of St. George. Same old scumbags everywhere unfortunately. This is why folk should be educated regarding the true meaning of these Flags.
  2. I'm all for that iris123. The Confederate Battle Flag has a great History and Tradition. It should be honoured for that. The Racist scumbags who have hijacked the Flag for their own ends are the problem not the Flag. I have said many times that a lot of brave men died under that Flag, the full implications and History of the Flag should be taught in Schools in America - you are right.
  3. So is the Confederate Battle Flag - you need to change hearts and minds not the Flag.
  4. Of course it isn't. Sidney, rightly stated that there were some great Riders in the old National League - and that is true. Granted a lot of these Riders were developing their careers but they all had to start somewhere. Even today Woffinden started in the National League. Who?
  5. Perhaps - but he became a World Champion who had ridden in the National League BW. Or, are we ignoring that?
  6. Surely not everyone could get in. Or perhaps they could these days.
  7. I don't think so - see here: http://www.bild.de/regional/hamburg/kleingaertner/hisst-reichsflagge-in-hamburg-37204558.bild.html It mentions Nazis - my German is very limited. Perhaps iris 123 could help us out here. There is no Maltese Cross on the Flag either. I could well be wrong though.
  8. If the Track closed - it would put an end to everything. If Sundays are the only thing that will keep the 'Scorpions' alive then Sundays it will have to be, and sod anything else. I know that Scunthorpe have done brilliantly with their Training Sessions - but if they have to be sacrificed in order to save the Track itself - then so be it as far as I am concerned. The very sadly missed Kenny Smith. Definitely a miss from our Reunions/Get togethers at Sunderland.
  9. Contriving to tighten the Meeting would be a better way of putting it. Rewarding poor performance.
  10. Come on - the Bar has to make a profit............. Too bad on the poor punters freezing their bollox off waiting for Heat 11.
  11. A very interesting Thread. I totally agree with you screamer, that is the way I understood it too. Have we missed something?
  12. That's the System though isn't it? :sad:
  13. I believe that 'Briggo' would have won the World Final in 1972. To this day I have never forgiven Bernt Persson. I know that this has been argued about before. I was there and I know what I saw.
  14. Interesting though - and as you say - fun.
  15. Yes - I understand what you are getting at now. It might just work, it might not. A decent suggestion though. As for your final few words that I have highlighted. I don't think you have anything to worry about on that score - they won't.
  16. ........................ and therein lies the problem. Good Post.
  17. What a great name for a Speedway Rider.
  18. :party: You've sold it to me norbold. I will get myself a copy - that's a promise. You will have to fulfill your part of the deal. Don't do anything until I let you know that I have the book. You are on. I will get it sometime this weekend. :party:
  19. I may well give it a go norbold.
  20. Even if that were the case, how would the Riders not selected for a Meeting earn a living from Speedway? They would have to be on pretty big retainers. Speedway can ill afford to pay for Riders polishing their backsides on the bench so to speak.
