The White Knight

It will be HT - it will be. :sad: Unless, of course, the ditch the Tactical Ride at the AGM. If they did, I would be there for the Official Practice and all Home Meetings (unless I was on Holiday, or had something on). I must say that I do not expect to be attending any Speedway next year. :sad:

Ooops!! You are right. I should have been a Referee.

Do you mean 'enemas' ? :shock:

Milton Keynes?

NOT in my case E I Addio. I will NOT attend as long as the Tactical Ride exists. The very day it is removed from the Sport - I will return. I also watch it on SKY, even now. I pay for it so why shouldn't I? I see no hypocrisy there. If I start getting annoyed/angry - simple - I switch it off. I hope that explains my position.

Well I can tell you that I have walked away. The main reason being the Tactical Ride. It does not spoil the Races, I will give you that - but it sure as hell ruins the parts in between Races when I get angrier and angrier. The whole argument behind the Tactical Ride and the Tactical Substitute Ride is to CHEAT people (paying Customers) out of a TRUE Result. You can argue about that until you are blue in the face - but - that is a fact. The other reason, though it does not stop me attending, is the 'Play Offs' - again CHEATING the League Champions out of the League Championship on occasions. If Speedway remains with the Tactical Rides - I will NOT attend. If it bins the whole idea off - I will return. So there you have it - an example of someone who has ceased to attend due to the Tactical Rides. I know there are others who have done the same. At a time of falling Attendances, that is criminal on the part of the Sports Hierarchy. Speedway = a Sport with very little credibility left. Firstly, as a Supporter of over fifty years, I see it as a way to give unfair advantage to a failing Team, never mind the newcomers. The seasoned Supporter may not see the point of the Tactical Ride other than an irritant and a way of fiddling a Result. Your last sentence sums it up nicely.

I'm fine - I hope that you are well too. You're up late my friend - me - I'm off to bed. Good night Arson.

Why? :t: 'Allo, 'Allo!!!!

Because it is UNFAIR and CONTRIVED. People may not like that - but it is a fact. It is cheating the Public. If you can't see that HT, I am staggered. The BSPA themselves say that it is there "to keep Meetings close" so they are admitting, by definition, that they are contriving the Result. There should, in my opinion, be NO Tactical Substitute or Tactical Rides. If a Team loses - it loses, if it wins, it wins. THAT is what you call SPORT. All that FIDDLING has done is to ruin the Sport's credibility, and driven people like me (and I am not alone) away from Speedway.

Thank you. That reinforces my view that I am best not being on Facebook.

I am sure that Ole will be pleased that his foot was ridden over elegantly.

I would love Robbo, Kerr, Rose and possibly Nielsen back next year. New blood needed elsewhere.

Now that is a decent idea.

Paddle dear boy, paddle. I never have a problem with Firefox.

Though it does seem like it at times. Bloody 'Play Offs', 'Double Points' etc.................... :mad: :mad:

Fingers crossed that you are right about that Steve.

I don't think they will.............................................. Sunderland closed down over forty years ago now. Plus - I no longer attend at Newcastle - so - I guess I am destined never to find out. Whisper :- unless you tell me.

Why?

Many thanks to ALL of you - you deserve a medal. Your help to us Supporters throughout the Season is invaluable.

Two Minute Mews is too.

Sounds good - has nobody tried this?

Nothing wrong with 'old farts'. :approve:

No - it won't - but it would help in my opinion. If the Tactical Ride was done away with - I would convince myself to return to paying to watch my Speedway. I am also against the Play Offs which, as folks know - I hate. I will NOT however, compromise on the Double Point Tactical Ride, or the Play Offs. So there you go - the Promoters have a way of getting at least one person back to their local Track - there could be more of the same mind. As I say, it will not fix Speedway - but if action were taken on these - and other issues were addressed - it would all help.

:rofl: :rofl:

A superb compilation. Strangely enough, for me, I enjoyed the Music too. A terrific advert for Speedway. Thank you for Posting this Rob B.
