The White Knight

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.

Past history probably. Wasn't there supposed to be a Honda Speedway Engine being looked at a few years ago? It never happened.

With the COST of the new Stadium - I would expect them to need as much money as they can get as soon as possible. I don't blame them in the least. :approve:

You never answered my question BW. You must have forgotten.

"Evenin' all". https://uk.video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=A7x9Uk7Jzz9V6lwATyV3Bwx.;_ylu=X3oDMTBsYWhiN2NvBHNlYwNzYwRjb2xvA2lyMgR2dGlkAw--?p=dixon+of+dock+green&hspart=avast&hsimp=yhs-001

Great to see things moving forward. I must admit to getting a bit excited about this............................... I hope that the first Meeting is on the Telly.

If the organization of Refunds is anything like the organization for the Warsaw GP - I think you may well be waiting a hell of a long time for your money. (I hope I am wrong - but I doubt it).

Guilty on that score BW. Who is likely to be against all three? Go on - tell me - I'll keep your secret. I still think Tai made the correct decision by the way. (Just in case anyone thought it was me).

YUK!!! I don't like to think about that too much Dave. I gives me the 'willies'. :shock:

Precisely. BSI Please Note.

I never saw him ride. R.I.P. + Josef.

Why are you reading it then. I like the pun by the way. :D

Bit like 'Double Points' really. Concocted Results. Now I CAN agree with that sentiment.

Errrrr - I believe so. :shock:

'ere - watch it!!! :angry: You are talking about one of my favourite Sports there. :)

This statement seems very relevant to me - I know the feeling. :sad:

THAT is not the same as watching the Professionals riding. Junior Races helped the youngsters develop in Racing, sometimes against better Riders, who helped them improve. If they went back to the Thirteen Heat Formula plus Second Halves - you would see more Races - not less. That is self evident.

Crikey!!! Long, long time ago that.

Darcy Ward perhaps? :shock: :shock:

It doesn't matter if nobody watched BW - the Second Half was the basic breeding ground for new young British talent. No Second Halves now - very little British talent coming through. Do you not see a certain correlation there, a connection? So there you are - I am right after all BW. It would be nice if you just acknowledged the fact. I know you won't though....................................................

The Thirteen Heat Formula worked well for years. Then they changed it - and we lost our Second Halves. They changed it and we lost TWO Races. (If I remember correctly there were 4 Races in the Second Half). TWO Races added in the Fifteen Heat Formula and FOUR Heats dropped from the Second Halves equals a deficit of TWO Heats of Racing. As you say - MARVELLOUS!!! Oh, and British Speedway went in to decline didn't it - because there were no Second Halves for the youngsters to get in some meaningful Racing Practice. The decline in youngsters riding Speedway is due, at least in part, to the dropping of the Second Halves. Old argument - yes it is. That doesn't change the fact that it is correct though - does it? As you say MARVELLOUS!!!
