The White Knight

At no Time have I said Lindgren was 'crap' if it is me you are getting at RD. I have said he is one of the most inconsistent Riders I have ever seen - a World Champion like Ride in one Heat and a rank Amateur Ride in the next - and that is in the same Match. I have been told that since I stopped attending Lindgren did a really great bit of Team Riding - if that is true he doesn't do that often enough. In my time of attending he only did it two or three times - he could have done it more often but didn't and cost us points. I also said he would not and should not be Number One - I still believe that. It is up to him to prove me wrong. I genuinely hope that he does. I am on record on this Forum as saying that I admire anyone who puts their leg over a Speedway Bike - I still believe that and I do admire Lindgren for that. I do not, however, admire his inconsistency in Meetings.

Exactly ch958 - exactly.

At least you are not being ignored.

Yes please.

Also it's Supporters. I know that I like to look at Statistics now and again and if it weren't for Sites like the 'Speedway Researcher' it would be very difficult.

You are getting there RD, you are getting there. Very good in those positions. But a No. 1 - NEVER!!! :shock: :nono:

Best of luck Stuart at your new Club.I hope that you do well. A Great Captain, Great Team Man, Great Rider and a Great Bloke. Ticks all the boxes really. :approve:

:shock: I take it you are joking!!! I certainly hope so anyway. :shock: I'm gutted about 'Robbo', we WILL miss him. Best wishes to you at Redcar Stuart - I hope that you do really well.

Glad to hear you are still in 'the bay'. :approve:

Where are you now ch958?

We must wait and see what happens. One can always hope.

WOW!!!!! :shock: :shock:

I thought I heard something about Summers to Glasgow? :unsure:

Raymond Glendenning, W. Barrington-Dalby, Eamonn Andrews, John Arlott, Brian Johnson etc.. - as you say sidney - legends. Even Peter ('Twickers') West. Nothing around of this sort of quality and class these days.

Cheers gustix. It isn't my Sport - as you can probably tell. :D

He'll be wasting his time looking for me in Newcastle - I live in Sunderland. I agree - I thought he did really well for one with so little experience. He was a revelation to me. Very, very pleased that he is back next year. :approve:

Eddie Waring - all time great.

Says it all really..................................... :sad:

I would also add the Americans call Baseball the 'World Series'. What's that all about - not too many other countries even play Baseball. Canada does (Toronto 'Bluejays') but I can't immediately think of anyone else.

You are right gustix, but his experience and ability in all other places of Speedway competition, ie. Europe means that he can, and never could be ranked amongst the truly 'Greats' of the Sport.

He obviously lacked ambition though. I would have thought that any Sportsman/woman would strive to get to the top in their chosen Sport. Obviously Bast didn't think it was worth the effort.

Well said Mike - and very true. :)

I wouldn't hold your breath. :sad:

I agree - Brian is right. Only pay out what you can afford. To do anything else would be foolish in the extreme and lead to Track closures as has been said.

I didn't say we shouldn't want him. I said that I didn't think we would get him. As I said with 'Robbo' in for Lindgren - that would be a super Team.
