The White Knight

Come on - the Bar has to make a profit............. Too bad on the poor punters freezing their bollox off waiting for Heat 11.

A very interesting Thread. I totally agree with you screamer, that is the way I understood it too. Have we missed something?

That's the System though isn't it? :sad:

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.

Interesting though - and as you say - fun.

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.

........................ and therein lies the problem. Good Post.

What a great name for a Speedway Rider.

: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:

THAT is a very good point chunky.

I may well give it a go norbold.

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.

:rofl: Nice one SCB.

A few good ideas and some not so good. Great Post though. :approve: Exactly.

Must have been a 'shade'(y) character. :rofl: See what I did there. I'll get me coat.

I spotted 'Pie 'n Mash and Prefabs in my local Sainsburys - I didn't buy it because I live in the North East - not really relevant up here. Perhaps Norbold will enlighten me, unless, of course, he is in his 'Hole'.

Aaahhhh - the good old days!!! :approve:

Not by me sydney.

No - for everyone - including the indigenous Population.

Me too.

Well at least Chris Harris has issued a Statement - whatever you think about it. I'm still waiting for somebody else to issue his????? :shock:

I have just watched the Berwick v. Peterborough Meeting that I recorded last night. Suffice to say I was disgusted at the total number of re-starts. A point that doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet, unless I have missed it, is the amount of cheating that goes on at the Start. Riders moving ever so slightly to put someone else through the Tapes is cheating. It has always gone on, or seems to have, but I can't remember seeing as many Riders 'at it' in one Meeting as there was last night. I won't name anyone - but if a Rule was made that Riders must sit still at the Start and if they don't - then they are Excluded. I think that would be a good thing. As for Riders getting flyers - if they don't touch the Tapes and they have sat still at the Start - then the Race should continue.

I'm pretty sure you do!!

Nothing at all. I have no problem with them whatsoever. Certain Islamists. My sociopolitical beliefs do not involve killing people. Do yours?

What? :blink: I thought we were discussing Scunthorpe.
