The White Knight

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.

Substitute 'Robbo' for Lindgren and I could go along with that Team. I don't think we would get Richie Worrall though?

Reading this Thread is enough to put you off Speedway for life. As you say Paulco complicated or what?

A very good question that. Perhaps they cannot have proper World Cup/Test Matches because most Countries probably would not be able to field a Team of seven competitive Riders. You can include England in that too - sadly.

It's cost them me - and I know it has cost others too.
