The White Knight

A first rate opening Post, on this very worthwhile Thread by tmc, with which I fully concur.

Done!! Thank you for Posting the Link Steve.

I would like to wish 'Robbo' the very best of everything in his recently announced retirement, he certainly deserves it.. A great Rider who always gave 100%.

You've never said truer words in your life.... That is probably why many people no longer can be bothered with the Forum. I know, have been in contact with, a number of folk who have packed in due to the unpleasantness on here by certain people. I, myself, do not Post as much as I used to - I still read it though.

Yes - I've been around Speedway since 1964 and I feel the same as Philip. We can only hope that he and I are wrong.

So very, very true ff.

I find the whole Sport very depressing at present HT. What has happened at Rye House has got me wondering who will be next? Sadly I find it quite feasible that a number of other Clubs could go the same way. I was stunned to hear Belle Vue mentioned as being possibly among the Tracks we need to be concerned about. Where will it all end - I wonder?

He is a disillusioned former Supporter, who is as entitled to his views and to air them, as you or I. At the end of the day - that is what the Forum is for HT. There are a lot less People Posting on here these days - I wonder why?

Very sad to hear this News. I too would like to think that Rye House could be resurrected next year - but - on a cautionary note, as a Sunderland Supporter who lost his Track in 1974 the resurrection may not happen. I seem to remember Posting somewhere on here that some Tracks who moved up from the old 'Premier' League to the then 'Elite' League would live to regret it - sadly - it seems I was right. My sympathies go to all those loyal Rye House Supporters - I know how they feel - CRAP!!! I still do in regard to Sunderland - and that was 44 years ago.......

I can think of someone who should be in the same boat as regards his Bullying and Trolling. I wonder who that could be? Just saying.............................

I am very pleased with tonight's result. Pity one or two Riders couldn't have scored a Point or two more. Mustn't be greedy though - one Point isn't bad.

Sadly - I think you are right. One can, however, live in hope.

The proof o the pudding and all that...................

That must have been a sight to behold.

I hope you will forgive me - but - I am hoping for the 'Diamonds' to possibly get something out of this Meeting.

Difficult to argue with anything you say there Hawk127. But will British Supporters accept no foreign Riders or 'Stars' in this Country. Would the Fan Base drop even lower without them?

The problem is they ( the Newspapers) don't print the information given - they used to years ago - why not these days? There must be a reason why they stopped?

You could Note Mr. Snackette's final comment in his Post GD.

Like Sunderland against Newcastle and Middlesbrough in 1964 and Sunderland against Teesside 1971 to 1974. Newcastle v. Redcar can get pretty tasty today - but sadly - not the same as back then.

Sad News. R.I.P. + Kelvin.

What a charmer.

If the Programmes are not revenue earners for their respective Clubs - then the answer to your question - No. A lot of people do like them though, and there are a lot of avid Collectors out there. It would be sad for them if Programmes were to be phased out. Up to each individual Club I suppose.

I do attend Home Meetings. My critical comments are about Away Meetings. You are correct - I don't go to Away Meetings - but crucially I can read. Lindgren's Scores Away from Home tells you everything you need to know to criticise. I clearly stated, he can be brilliant at Home - I go to most Meetings at Brough and I can see that.

I suppose. It is very frustrating though, when you see how he can ride at Home.

You may well be right Vince. I am not very technical. 'Briggo' however believes the same as myself as I read it and what he stated made sense to me.
