The White Knight

Thus speaks (in this case ) the voice of reason. Well said BW.

Sad to hear things are so bad MrM. :sad:

This Thread is too complicated for me. :blink:

Says it in a nutshell - but - will anybody listen or take notice.

You might be right. Doesn't change the fact that he could have put fellow Riders at risk though - does it? I wonder if he will be Tested regularly at domestic Meetings - I certainly hope so.

Sadly you are dead right.

So you are saying that BSI has no responsibility toward Speedway - even though it is making a hell of a lot of money out of it. It doesn't matter to me how small the amount they put in to Speedway - it is though my contention that they should contribute something, not to each Track, but to each Country for Youth Development.. To me £1.5 million is a lot of money.

I bet it isn't on here. :D

Firstly by giving a certain sum of money to each Country, graded to size and popularity of the Sport in said Country, for Youth Development. I realise that the Poles will probably get largest share. That is the only fair way to do it. Secondly - Don't ask me how much - I don't know the the full financial details of the GP Series. I hope this answers your question.

Well said SCB. :approve:

It also doesn't reflect well on the protestations emanating from certain people at Poole either.

You may be right - but - we are where we are. Speedway is dying now - no matter whose fault it is. Surely Speedway should benefit in some way from the Sports premier/Showcase Event. Or - are you saying I am wrong. Who?

Two in one day Blazeaway - I'm becoming a Fan. :rofl:

That is very true iris123 - but - if BSI wish to run their GP Series as a truly International Event then surely they need to contribute to the development of Riders of all Nationalities not just British Riders.. They (BSI) are making a lot of money off the backs of these Riders, surely it is down to them to help to ensure a continuous flow of said Riders into the GP ranks. I am not saying that BSI should not make a Profit - of course they should - what I am saying is they should be investing in the future of Speedway to ensure that their Event continues to grow and improve.

Harsh but true BW. :rofl:

Agreed - but - at least he was prepared to put in the effort.

Ah me. Such a simple Sport was Speedway. :sad:

I await 'Whiteliner's comments with interest.

This is without doubt one of the best Posts you have done on this Forum Humphrey. I commend you for it. The only bit I could possibly argue with is my highlighted bit. I think you are exaggerating the height. To quote Mandy Rice Davies: "Well he would say that, wouldn't he"?

As usual.. A hard man was Tony. I remember him and Jack Millen coming together at Sunderland a couple of times. If my memory serves me right. We certainly do................................... I got hit by a hard hit Cricket Ball once................. I still wince when I think about it. That was fifty five years ago now.

Some would say deserved a chance after helping us out in the 'Pairs'.

Ooooohhh - naughty Humphrey. :rofl:

You won't need it indoors. :shock: Now I'd better get mine.

As said by Fromafar you are spot on with your comments. The thing is the Sport is losing it's credibility. People(Supporters) are losing their faith in the Sport. If that really gets a grip - Speedway is finished in this Country.

Probably a blessing that they did not cover the Warsaw GP either..................
