Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Dare I say - money talks.

I hope you are right Aleksandr and you too Dave.

:blink: I never thought of that RD. :blink:

Knowing Speedway - you could be right.

GREAT!!! :approve: :party: Onwards and upwards. C'mooooooooooon the mighty 'Aces' !!!

I can only say that Fred Williams was a Rider I very much admired, both as a Rider and as a Man. A true gentleman. I know that has nothing to do with the Speedway Track but I was looking at the overall package. He, for me, deserves a place in my list of best Speedway Riders. Remember that both he and Peter Craven won the World Championship TWICE. I know that both of his Championships were won at Wembley where he rode, but you still have to win it - and Fred did - TWICE!!!

I assume you mean sent back. Good!!

2007 She was told - EIGHT YEARS ago. It beggars belief. I wonder how many more Cases there are like this? This is exactly the sort of thing I meant, in the above Post, when I said the Authorities are pussyfooting around. This woman should be expelled from our Country along with a lot of others of her ilk. I have no problems with Legal Immigrants provided they are of some use to our Society - but - people like this Lady should be put on a boat or a plane and be sent back to wherever. THE SOONER THE BETTER!!! Remember while these people are here - we are paying for them.

Well at least they, and other Sportsmen and Women, have a job to do - unlike some of the other ne'er do wells that we are accepting at the moment. You are right when you say that it is difficult for the Authorities but they should be clamping down really hard instead of dancing around the issue trying not to offend anyone. If the Authorities really were getting a grip, I would find the problem with Australian and American Speedway Riders easier to understand.

Thank you for Posting this Blackadder. Looks like there could be further problems reading this. :sad:

How about concrete - didn't I read somewhere that the Japanese had Speedway on concrete. Before I get a load of flak - I DON'T think it is a good idea. This would be around the time Jimmy Ogisu rode over here. I'm sure that gustix or somebody will be able to confirm or deny.

What Channel is it on please? :shock: :party:

Whilst I think that over all I would put Ivan Mauger as the best. But during my deliberations, Peter Craven, Barry Briggs and Fred Williams all came a very close second. I just thought that with all his Speedway Titles, Long Track Titles and his all round professionalism Mauger, for me, was the ultimate Speedway Rider. I reiterate that my all time favourite Rider though was 'Briggo'.

I feel that too. However - he has been out of the Sport for quite a long time now. Perhaps the FIM will think that his time served so far will teach him a statutory lesson - and that he will learn from it. He does not have a good record on 'learning a lesson' but perhaps the furore he has caused this time will serve as a wake up call. I, for one, hope so.

Who are you? The 'Scunner' Campbell?

"Because it is there". George Mallory. 1923. Everest Climber. (Some say, and I believe Everest Conqueror).

Good one PP. :rofl:

You read it right RD.

I must be wrong. You and your acolyte Penfold say so. :rolleyes:

:rofl: :rofl:

BW - once again you and I are not going to agree. I honestly believe your argument is coming from a Politically Correct standpoint. I hate Political Correctness in all of it's forms and will not have anything to do with it. You may not like that - that is your prerogative. I thought the Joke was funny - you didn't. That's your view, fair enough you are entitled to that. My view is different - and I am entitled to that too. Please do not presume to question my motives and imply that my views make me uneducated I would not insult you in that way and I am saddened and not a little surprised that you have done so.

Nit (Ward) one - Poole one. :rofl: :rofl:

Elite IS also wrong. But, as you say, that is the way it is.

Three now...................................... :)

Well I would have thought it funny if he had put they were from Australia and said white people with six kids. You really are stretching things here BW. Mind you, it does appear that, at present, Australian Speedway Riders are having more trouble getting in to this Country than all of the Illegal Immigrants from other Countries - White or Black.
