The White Knight

Well said PW. So do I. It is very rare these days when something good happens in British Speedway. We should ALL be celebrating this - I think it is marvelous and I genuinely hope that it is really successful. My adopted Team too - since I was about SIX. 'ACES' through and through - that's me.

i would have thought that SKY would want to be involved in what will be a big showcase Event. It isn't every day that Speedway opens a new National Speedway Arena.

Worse than Joni Keskinen? :shock:

Those were the days. :approve:

Hey Humphrey - I 'Liked' a couple of your Posts today. :approve: Cut it out............................... :D

That's the trouble with these mysterious Fires. You never know where they will spring up next. .................... or do you? Someone might. :shock:

Fancy him like? :shock: :rofl:

I hope Phil reads this. You are dead right. Some investigative journalism would be a positive advantage to Supporters finding out what exactly went wrong in Warsaw. Regarding this Meeting of top people from BSI, FIM and PZM - will their findings be made public? They bloody well ought to be - all of those Supporters who paid a lot of money to get to Warsaw deserve no less.

At least we can agree on something Humphrey. :)

Back on Track - you are right. Back in the GPs as a permanent, or any kind of Wild Card - I certainly hope not. :nono: 2016 is quite early enough for that.

I too mourn the passing of Long Eaton Speedway. :sad:

Where's REDCAR!!!? :shock:

Aye - there is always that. :sad: I wonder how many Speedway Tracks have closed down because of 'Freebies'? At least a few I bet. :mad:

"It weren't me Mr. Dixon - I weren't even there". (Done in a gravelly cockney accent). :D

Oh dear!!!! I hadn't realised that. :sad: Terrible for our Sport. :sad:

I've been saying that for years.

Lots of people do. Does that mean you will have to change your name to 'Newace'? :shock: :rofl:

The Building is in progress.

Of course he doesn't owe them anything. He gave good value for money to all of those Tracks he rode for and probably increased attendances at all of them too. Those Tracks reaped the benefits of having Tai riding for them and were, presumably, happy to do so. I owe my first Employer for giving me a job - I don't think so. I worked very hard whilst I was there and they paid me for it. Much the same as Tai really................

Cracking Paragraph. :approve:

That is a load of tosh speedibee. I don't see a lot of loyalty to Riders in British Speedway except from the Supporters of course. Tai, on the other hand, owes British Speedway nothing. British Speedway owes Tai a lot because of all the Publicity Events that he attended during his year as World Champion. Everyone said what a wonderful, hard working World Champion he was - and - I agree with them. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Tai, should he win another World Championship would do the same again - Promoting BRITISH Speedway in the Media, on Television and any way he could.....

You really do have some peculiar views. You are right about one thing though - it certainly does "say it all" - it "says it all" about the state of British Speedway and nothing at all about Tai. If Tai, who is an ambitious young Rider, reckons that British Speedway isn't worth the candle, and that he needs to leave it to improve who are you, or me, to gainsay that. He should certainly ride for Great Britain in the SWC - we should pick our very best Riders and Tai is one of those - whether you like it or not.

Cheers Dave. I thought I recalled something from my somewhat befuddled memory. :)

A friend of mine sent me this 'Link'. https://www.caunceohara.co.uk/commercial/motor-sports It specifically mentions Insuring of Speedway Riders. Just for Information. EDIT: I am sorry I can't get this 'Link' to work on the Forum. You will have to key it in if you are interested.

Who cares. Tai has won the World Championship and if leaving British Speedway helps him to win a few more - then GOOD LUCK to him and meanwhile we can bask in the Glory of having a British World Champion again.
